Project description:Chemical reprogramming offers a fundamentally innovative approach for generating human pluripotent stem (hCiPS) cells using small molecules. Our recent studies showed that this approach was highly efficient in reprogramming human fibroblasts to hCiPS cells. In this study, we established a robust method that successfully generated hCiPS cells from both cord blood and adult peripheral blood cells. This method achieved efficient reprogramming with both fresh and cryopreserved blood cells.

Project description:This study aims to investigate the individual effect of cocktail VCRTc on the direct reprogramming process.We collected cells as follows: mouse chondrocytes (mchons), mouse embryonic fibroblasts(MEFs), MEFs treated by a chemical cocktail VCRTc for 3 days (3d-VCRTc) and 6 days (6d-VCRTc), and MEFs treated by individual chemical V, C, R, T, ce for 6 days, respectively. Then we did RNA extraction,reverse transcription and library preperation before bulk RNA seq. We uncovered that MEFs treated with chemicals have an upregulation of chondrocytes enriched genes; and a downregulation of MEF enriched genes,indicating that chemical treatment drove MEF toword chondrogenic lineage before the 2nd stage of differentiation.
