Project description:In order to recover nuclei with two active X chromosomes (class I), we developed a reprogramming strategy by supplementing hESC media with the small molecules sodium butyrate, and 3-deazaneplanocin A (DZNep). In order to determine how B+D affects global gene expression, we performed microarray analysis in triplicate in the HSF-6 (8) C and HSF-6 (8) B+D treated cultures. We also evaluated HSF-6 (S9) B+D in triplicate and identified no statistically significant changes in gene expression in HSF-6 (S9) B+D compared to HSF-6 (8) B+D treated cultures. This suggests that global transcriptional differences are more strongly modulated by presence or absence of B+D and not the percentage of class I, II or III nuclei. We performed gene expression profiling on hESC HSF-6 (8, S9) in absent (control) and presence of butyrate and DZNep. All cell were collected after 11 passages in absent and presence of butyrate and DZNep.

Project description:Gene expression profiling of immortalized human mesenchymal stem cells with hTERT/E6/E7 transfected MSCs. hTERT may change gene expression in MSCs. Goal was to determine the gene expressions of immortalized MSCs.
