Project description:We described differential expression of CD90 in gp38+ fibroblasts in murine colon. We functionally characterized CD90- and CD90+ fibroblasts by co-culturing with intestinal organoids. CD90+ colon fibroblasts were able to support organoid growth while CD90- did not.
Project description:We investigated differences between CD90- myCAFs and CD90+ myCAFs flow-sorted from murine PDAC tumors derived from the orthotopic transplantation of PDAC KPC T-LOH organoids
Project description:To explore the functional difference between CD90+CD39+ and CD90+CD39- fibroblasts in human hypertrophic scar and normal skin, the gene expresson microarray was performed on Live CD49f- E-Cadherin- Lin- CD45- CD31- CD90+ CD39+ and Live CD49f- E-Cadherin- Lin- CD45- CD31- CD90+ CD39- cells sorted from suspension disgested from three human hypertrophic scar samples; and Live CD49f- E-Cadherin- Lin- CD45- CD31- CD90+ CD39+ cells sorted from suspension disgested from three human normal skin samples
Project description:In the colon, a single-layered epithelium lines the crypts, which descend into the underlying mucosa. Surrounding the crypts lies a large network of fibroblasts with diverse functions, including extracellular matrix (ECM) production and stem cell maintenance. However, functional diversity of those cells remains unexplored. To address fibroblast heterogeneity in colon homeostasis, we conducted single-cell RNA sequencing on epithelium-stripped colonic mucosal samples of aSMACre:mTmG-reporter mouse. We found 6 clusters of fibroblasts.
Project description:To identify candidate genes involved in enhanced tumorigenicity and metastasis of CD90+ esophageal tumor-initiating cells. The esophageal squamous carcinoma cell (ESCC) cell line KYSE-140 was sorted into CD90+ and CD90- populations by flow cytometry. Total RNA was analyzed on Affymetrix Human Genome U133 Plus GeneChip 2.0 arrays.
