ABSTRACT: Gene expression from embryoid bodies derived from HBG3 HB9 ES cells exposed to serum from mice carrying an ALS causing mutation, or non-carrier littermates.
Project description:Embryonic stem (ES) cells, when grown in suspension culture without feeders, spontaneously form round structures known as embryoid bodies. Given the appropriate conditions, these cells can differentiate over time into precursors of all three germ layers. Embryoid bodies, in a disorganized way, mimic early embryonic development to a certain extent and can be used as a synchronously differentiating large scale source of tissue for the study of biological determinants of early differentiation. Embryoid bodies have been used as a source for most early protocols that derive specific differentiated cell types from undifferentiated ES cells, although some protocols, notably those that derive neurons from ES cells, have moved on from EBs as a result of varying replicability and yield. We have decided to look at the transcriptomic profiles of embryoid bodies during the initial stages of embryoid body formation and differentiation, in order to pinpoint novel determinants of key developmental stages. Keywords: time course
Project description:These data include the genome wide location of different histone modifications by ChIP sequencing in mouse ES cells, and RNA Seq data generated from wild type and EED KO mouse ES cells and knocked down for unrelated protein and Setd2 protein. ChIP-Seq: Immuno-precipitation of formaldehyde cross-linked chromatin prepared from wild type mouse E14 ES cells, wild type E36 ES cells, EED KO E36 ES cells, wild type Embryoid bodies (Ebs), EED KO Embryoid bodies (Ebs EED KO) using specific antibody against different histone modifications. RNA-Seq: Total RNA extracted from wild type E36 ES cells, EED KO E36 ES cells, wild type E36 Embryoid bodies (Ebs), EED KO Embryoid bodies (Ebs EED KO), E14 Ctrl KD, E14 Setd2 KD.
Project description:Mst1/Mst2 are central components of Hippo pathway. We examined the role of Mst1/Mst2 in ES cell differentiation. In this data set, we include expression data from day 4 and day 8 Mst1/Mst2 knockout ES cell formed embryoid bodies and wild type embryoid body controls.
Project description:To identify potential Elongin A targets during neuronal differentiation of ES cells, a cDNA microarray analysis comparing embryoid bodies (EBs) derived from Elongin A+/+ ES cells and Elongin A-/- ES cells was performed.
