Project description:ES derived Flk-1+ cells were separated by sorting into Hoxb6 positive and negative populations by Venus reporter. Gene expression was compared between these two groups. Duplicate analysis of Hoxb6-Venus positive and negative Flk-1+ cells.

Project description:ES derived Flk-1+ cells were separated by sorting into Hoxb6 positive and negative populations by RFP Hoxb6 reporter. Gene expression was compared between these two groups. Duplicate analysis of Hoxb6-RFP positive and negative Flk-1+ cells.
Project description:Screening for genes up in Etv2+ cells within Flk-1+ ES derived mesoderm Microarray analysis performed to screen for the candidate genes regulated by Etv2. Differentiated Flk-1+ mesoderm can be devided into Etv2+ or-. Etv2+ cells are assumed to be committed to hemato/endothelial cells. Comparison of two populations can reveal genes relevant in this commitment. Extract RNA from sorted Flk-1+/Etv2- vs Flk-1+/Etv2+ populations.Etv2-Venus KI ES cells were differentiated on OP9 for 4-5 days and Flk-1+ population was separated into Etv2-Venus+ or- cells. Total RNA was purified from each population for analysis.

Project description:A human organoid culture system was set up to grow enteroendocrine cells with a venus labeled on the glucagon gene promoter sequence. This enabled the sorting of glucagon gene positive cells from negative cells, thereby enabling the enrichment of glucagon producing cells for study. Both Venus positive and venus negative cell populations were collected and their peptidome was assessed using nano LC-MS/MS
Project description:A dual biomarker signature extracted a stage-specific cytotype according to cell surface expression of CXCR4/FLK-1 after 5 days of spontaneous differentiation from pluripotent stem cells. Genome-wide microarray analysis revealed a high degree of similarity between CXCR4+/FLK-1+ and CXCR4-/FLK-1- subpopulations at day 5, yet the divergent gene expression profile represents more than 700 unique transcripts. Functional analysis of the 294 up-regulated and 440 down-regulated transcripts that distinguished CXCR4+/Flk-1+ from CXCR4-/Flk-1- subpopulations identified an overt ontologic prioritization of “Cardiovascular Development”-IPA 7.0, 2009.Thus, a biomarker-selected subpopulation from spontaneously differentiated pluripotent stem cells identifies a pool of genes that non-stochastically integrate into a blueprint providing instructions for cardiac lineage-specification. Keywords: Comparison of day 5 embryonic stem cell progenity: CXCR4/FLK-1 biomarker positive versus biomarker negative cells Differentiating embryonic stem cells were FACS sorted at day 5 based on a dual CXCR4/FLK-1 biomarker signature and double positive and double negative progeny were thus collected. Day 5 sorted progeny were independently collected to provide raw material for three biological replicates for each experimental condition. In this manner, three CXCR4/FLK-1 double positive biological samples, and three CXCR4/FLK-1 double negative biological samples were obtained. Total RNA was extracted from each of the samples and RNA pools were profiled on Affymetrix Mouse 430 2.0 Arrays to identify global gene expression changes between double positive and double negative progeny at day 5 of differentiation.
