Project description:We analyzed the difference of gene expression between the isolates havested from long-term cultures (Ma et.al. 2020). In this study, the paradaux cell line were cultured for over 40 days under different population control conditions (uncontrolled, negative feedback and paradoxical feedback. Isolates of each culture were harvested at the end of the long-term culture and preped for whole genomic RNA sequencing.
Project description:Extracellular vesicles isolated from the conditioned media of short, long-term, and rapamycin treated long-term cultured astrocytes were subjected to proteomic analysis to determine the how the EV proteome changes following long-term culture.
Project description:Naïve mouse ESCs exhibit full term developmental competence thus hold great potential in regenerative medicine. Maintaining genome stability is essential for potential application of ESCs in stem cell therapy. While ESC potency fluctuate with retrovirus activity, it is unclear whether long-term cultures affect retrotransposition and genomic stability. We compared retrotransposons in naïve ESCs using various approaches. We show that feeder-serum based culture conditions and small molecule LCDM maintain appropriate expression of retrovirus activity following long-term cultures, whereas cultures under 2iLif and a2i result in aberrant upregulation of retrotransposons. This leads to high frequent retrotransposition. Moreover, naïve ESCs on feeder-serum based culture conditions and small molecule LCDM still generate complete ESC pups by TEC assay, functional test of pluripotency, following long-term cultures, despite that all culture conditions maintain high expression levels of pluripotent genes such as Oct4, Nanog, Klf4 and Sox2. Meanwhile, long telomeres are maintained in ESCs under cultures in Feeder-serum and LCDM conditions but telomeres shortened in other conditions with increasing passages. These data provide insights into retrotransposition, genomic stability and pluripotency of naïve ESCs.
Project description:In this study, we have analyzed DNA methylation changes upon long-term culture and aging of MSC by using the HumanMethylation27 BeadChip assessing 27,578 unique CpG sites. Cells were taken from bone marrow aspirates from iliac crest (BM) of healthy donors or from the caput femoris (HIP) of elderly patients that received femoral head prosthesis.Overall, the methylation pattern was maintained throughout both long-term culture and aging but highly significant differences were observed at specific CpG sites. Notably, methylation changes in MSC were related in long-term culture and aging in vivo.
Project description:The faecal indicator bacterium Escherichia coli K12 was used to study the cellular events that take place at the transcription level using the microarray technology during short-term (physiological) and long-term (genetic) adaptation to slow growth under limited nutrient supply. Short-term and long-term adaptation were assessed by comparing the mRNA levels isolated after 40 or 500 hours of glucose-limited continuous culture at a dilution rate of 0.3 h-1 with those from batch culture with glucose excess. Keywords: glucose-limited continuous culture, adaptation, microarray, high affinity transport systems, transcriptome, Escherichia coli
Project description:FOXO1 was involved in various biologucal processes. In endothelial cells, it has reported that FOXO1 was phosphorylated by PI3K-Akt signaling, and it was nuclear exclusion by short-term VEGF stimulation. This event turns off the expression of apoptosis-related genes, it protects the cell from apoptosis. On the other hand, long-term VEGF stimulation, FOXO1 re-entry into the nucleus and induces the expression of different genes. Therefore, to identify genes regulated by FOXO1-binding in long-term VEGF stimulation, we performed ChIP-seq analysis of human unbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) stimulated by VEGF for 18h.
Project description:Transcriptome analysis of murine foetal NSCs (E14) after short-term (48 hours) and long-term (13 days) hypoxic (3% oxygen) culture compared to normoxic culture (21% oxygen) We focused on whole-transcriptome analyses using gene chip microarrays to compare expression profiles of NSCs cultured at hypoxic conditions to those of normoxic cells. Therefore, we used NSCs derived from the mesencephalon and the cortex and cultured them for short- and long-term at hypoxia/normoxia.
