Project description:Investigate the effect of jhdm1b on Oct4 mediated reprogramming Investigate the effect of vitamin C on the function of jhdm1b oct4 and jhdm1b infected MEF with or without vitamin C treatment
Project description:To further understand the mechanism of reprogramming, the mouse embryonic fibroblast cells were infected with Oct4, Klf4, c-Myc and Sox2 with special sequence. 1) Oct4 and Klf4 containing retrovirus was delivered on day 0. 2) Oct4, Klf4 and c-Myc were delivered on Day 1.5. 3) c-Myc and Sox-2 were deivered on Day 3. 4) Sox2 were delivered on Day 4.5. 5) Vitamin C containging medium were used from Day 6. The gene expression of Day 0 (MEF), Day 1.5, Day 3, Day 4.5 and Day 6 were analyzed with micro array to indentify the possible underlying mechanism. Especially the factors related to MET/EMT, cell cycle and epigenetic were focused. MEF cells were subjected for reprogramming with special protoocl: 1) Oct4 and Klf4 containing retrovirus were delivered on day 0. 2) Oct4, Klf4 and c-Myc were delivered on Day 1.5. 3) c-Myc and Sox-2 were deivered on Day 3. 4) Sox2 were delivered on Day 4.5. 5) Vitamin C containging medium were used from Day 6. RNA on Day 0 (MEF), Day 1.5, Day 3, Day 4.5 and Day 6 were collected for analysis.
Project description:Nucleolus-associated DNA was isolated from MEF cells before and after conditional knock-out of UBF and hybridized against genomic DNA in biological replicates. Two different types of immortalized MEF cells were used. MEFs were immortalized by genetic depletion of p53, iMEFs were immortalized by transfection of the SV40 Tt antigen.
Project description:Next Generation Sequencing with differdent pluripotent transcript factor overexpression in MEF Somatic cells can be reprogrammed into induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) by defined factors. The low efficiency of reprogramming limited the potential application of iPSCs. Here we found that knockdown LSD1 , which demethylates histone H3 Lys 4 or 9 , could increase iPSCs generation. It has been reported that LSD1 interaction with Oct4 which is the core factor of reprogramming. So we try to find out the different of overexpression Oct4 or Kllf4/Sox2 in MEF and LSD1 inhibitor. Retrovirus-mediated different pluripotent transcript factor overexpression in MEF cells after 4 days collect mRNA profiles processing with Illumina MiSeq; MEF, Mouse Embryonic Fibroblast O, MEF infected with Oct4 KS,MEF infected with Klf4 and Sox2 OSK, MEF infected with Oct4 Klf4 and Sox2 T20, MEF infected with Oct4 Klf4 and Sox2 and treated with 20nm LSD1 inhibitor Tranylcypromine

Project description:In a pilot experiment to reprogramme MEF into endoderm, we infected MEF with the Yamanaka´s factors (O: Oct4, K: Klf4, S: Sox2, M:Myc), FoxA2 (F) and Gata4 (G). Global gene expression of isolated clones was performed.
