Project description:Investigation of whole genome gene expression level changes in neural progenitor cells derived from iPS cells generated from umbilical cord mesenchymal cells, compared to neural progenitor cells derived from iPS cells generated fromskin fibroblasts. Analyze the difference between neural progenitor cells derived from iPS cells generated from different origins. The method to induce reprogramming of somatic cells and human iPS cells for neural differentiation is described in Cai J, Li W, Su H, Qin D, Yang J, et al. (2010) Generation of human induced pluripotent stem cells from umbilical cord matrix and amniotic membrane mesenchymal cells. J Biol Chem 285: 11227-11234. and Kim DS, Lee JS, Leem JW, Huh YJ, Kim JY, et al. (2010) Robust enhancement of neural differentiation from human ES and iPS cells regardless of their innate difference in differentiation propensity. Stem Cell Rev 6: 270-281. A two-chip study using total RNA recovered from one neural progenitor cell line derived from iPS cells generated from skin fibroblasts (GZF1C7NSCP3) and one neural progenitor cell line derived from iPS cells generated from umbilical cord mesenchymal cells (VMC2C7NSCP3). No replicates were made. Each chip measures the expression level of 45,033 genes from the two samples with fourteen 60-mer probe pairs (PM/MM) per gene, with three-fold technical redundancy.

Project description:A single protein can be multifaceted depending on the cellular contexts and interacting molecules. LIN28A is an RNA-binding protein that governs developmental timing, cellular proliferation, differentiation, stem cell pluripotency, and metabolism. In addition to its best-known roles in microRNA biogenesis, diverse molecular roles have been recognized. In the nervous system, LIN28A is known to play critical roles in proliferation and differentiation of neural progenitor cells (NPC). We profiled the endogenous LIN28A-interacting proteins in NPC differentiated from human induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells using immunoprecipitation and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. We identified over 500 LIN28A-interacting proteins, including 156 RNA-independent interactors. Functions of these proteins span a wide range of gene regulatory processes. Our analysis opens multiple avenues for elaborating molecular roles and characteristics of LIN28A.
Project description:This study examines and compares the protein content in conditioned media collected from neural cell types generated from human pluripotent stem cells. Conditioned media was prepared for 48 hours at a final endpoint of differentiation day 12. Both groups are from parental line WTC11 and cultured as a monolayer on matrigel. Both groups contain a transgene cassette for doxycycline-inducible expression of sox9 and nfia. Doxycycline was only included in the iAstro groups, whereas it was omitted in the neural progenitor cell groups.
Project description:We report the application of MNase-seq (Kent, Adams et al. 2011) to construct genome-wide nucleosome maps from human cells. To date, genome-wide changes in chromatin structure that occur during development in human cells have not been investigated widely. We have constructed and compared genome-wide chromatin maps from undifferentiated human iPS cells and and iPS cells differentiated to neural progenitor cells (NPC).
Project description:hM3Dq-expressing iPS cell-derived neural cells were stimulated by CNO treatment for two hours. Comparing to the vehicle-treated control, enhanced expressions of immediate early genes were observed.
