Project description:Comparison of gene expression of human BJ fibroblasts at different population doublings (PD). RNA-seq data comprises 2 groups: 34 and 70 population doublings of BJ fibroblasts. Jena Centre for Systems Biology of Ageing - JenAge (www.jenage.de)
Project description:Limited data exists regarding changes of microRNA (miRNA) expression during senescence in human cells and no reports correlate telomerase expression with regulation of senescence-related miRNAs. We used miRNA microarrays to provide a detailed account of miRNA profiles for early passage and senescent human foreskin (BJ) fibroblasts as well as early and late passage immortalized fibroblasts (BJ-hTERT) that stably express the human telomerase reverse transcriptase subunit hTERT. The revelation that miRNA expression changes with extended passaging in BJ-hTERT cells will contribute to a comprehensive understanding of the connections between telomerase expression, senescence and processes of cellular aging.
Project description:Forced expression of ASCL1, Nurr1, Lmx1a, miRNA-124 and p53shRNA (ANLmp) in fibroblasts reprograms fibroblasts to induced dopaminergic neurons (iDA). While human lung fibroblasts can be converted rapidly and efficiently, iDA of dermal fibroblast is very unefficient and incompleted. To address this issue, we performed time series RNAseq on both lung and dermal fibroblasts during the first four days of ANLmp induced neuron convertion. Bioinformatics analysis revealed the stable fibroblast gene regulatory network (GRN) was a potential repressive factor for iDA in human dermal fibroblasts.

While human lung fibroblasts can be converted rapidly and efficiently, iDA of dermal fibroblast is very unefficient and incompleted. To address this issue, we performed time series RNAseq on both lung and dermal fibroblasts during the first several days of ANLmp induced neuron convertion. Bioinformatics analysis revealed the stable fibroblast gene regulatory network (GRN) was a potential repressive factor for iDA in human dermal fibroblasts.
