Project description:Mouse peritoneal B1a cells were classified into two groups based upon the expression level of PC1. One is PC1 high group and the other is PC1 low. To evaluate gene expression patterns that distinguished PC1 high expressing B1a cells from PC1 low expressing B1a cells, we used Affymetrix GeneChip® Mouse gene 1.0 ST Array.
Project description:Mouse peritoneal B1a cells were classified into two groups based upon the expression level of PC1. One is PC1 high group and the other is PC1 low. To evaluate gene expression patterns that distinguished PC1 high expressing B1a cells from PC1 low expressing B1a cells, we used Affymetrix GeneChipM-BM-. Mouse gene 1.0 ST Array. FACS-sorted PC1 high and low cells from individual mouse were used for RNA extraction and Affyarray hybridization. There were six independent biological replications in each group - six cases of PC1 high cells and six cases of PC1 low cells.
Project description:Using Affymetrix GeneChips, we analyzed expression profiles of SP cells from EOM and TA. 348 differentially expressed transcripts defined the EOM-SP transcriptome: 229 upregulated in EOM-SP and 119 in TA-SP. Keywords: Expression Profiling
Project description:In rainbow trout, type A spermatogonia can be split into SP cells and non-SP cells by the ability to exclude Hoechst 33342 dye (H33342). The H33342 fluorescence of SP cells are lower than that of non-SP cells, after H33342 staining. To investigate whether SP cells were transcriptomically distinct from non-SP cells, we compared the transcriptome of these cells. We used fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) to isolate SP cells and non-SP cells from the type A spermatogonia in rainbow trout.
Project description:We developed a technique for generating hypothalamic neurons from human pluripotent stem cells. Here, as proof-of-principle, we examine the use of these cells in modeling of a monogenic form of severe obesity: PCSK1 deficiency. We generated PCSK1 (PC1/3)-deficient human embryonic stem cell (hESC) lines using both shRNA and CRISPR-Cas9, and investigated pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) processing using hESC-differentiated hypothalamic neurons.
