Project description:We analyzed the global transcriptome signature over the time course of the cardiac differentiation from hESC by RNA-seq. We characterized the genome-wide transcriptome profile of 5 distinct stages; undifferentiated hESC (day 0), mesodermal precursor stage (hMP, day 2), cardiac progenitor stage (hCP, day 5), immature cardiomyocyte (hCM14) and hESC-CMS differentiated for 14 additional days (hCM28). While the stem cell signature decreases over the five stages, the signatures associated with heart and smooth muscle development increase, indicating the efficient cardiac differentiation of our protocol.
Project description:In this study, time-course transcriptome profiling of caidiomyocyte differentiation derived from human hESCs and hiPSCs was investigated. Two hiPSC lines (C15 and C20) and two hESC lines (H1 and H9) were differentiated to caidiomyocytes. The cells were collected for RNA-seq analysis at day0(undifferentiated cells) day2 (mesoderm), day4 (cardiac mesoderm) and day30 (cardiomyocytes) using Illumina HiSeq 2000 sequencer.
Project description:To gain global insights into the transcriptomic response associated with MIR148A family knockout, we performed RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) on hESC-differentiated cells on day 4 of cardiac differentiation for both WT and MIR148A-TKO groups. RNA-Seq analysis identified a total of 1837 differentially expressed genes in MIR148A-TKO and wild-type hESC-derived cells on day 4 of cardiac differentiaton. Furthermore, Gene Ontology enrichment analysis indicated knockout of all MIR148A family members inhibited lateral mesodermal and cardiac differentiation.
Project description:In this study, time-course genome-wide chromatin accessibility of caidiomyocyte differentiation derived from human hESCs and hiPSCs was profiled. Two hiPSC lines (C15 and C20) and two hESC lines (H1 and H9) were differentiated to caidiomyocytes by ATAC-seq. The cells were collected for ATAC-seq at day 0(undifferentiated cells) day 2 (mesoderm), day 4 (cardiac mesoderm) and day 30 (cardiomyocytes).
Project description:Transcriptional profiling of human mesenchymal stem cells comparing normoxic MSCs cells with hypoxic MSCs cells. Hypoxia may inhibit senescence of MSCs during expansion. Goal was to determine the effects of hypoxia on global MSCs gene expression.
