Project description:To investigate the transcriptomic profile and molecular mechanisms using single cell RNA sequecning (scRNA-seq) analysis for the iPSC derived midbrain organoids from the patient of POLG Disease
Project description:The pupose of this study is to explore tanalysis to investigate the different phenotypes between homozygous and compound heterozygous genotypes in different brain cell types, including patient-specific fibroblasts, iPSCs and iPSCs-derived neural stem cells (NSCs), and astrocytes.
Project description:The blood-brain barrier (BBB) is lined by brain microvascular endothelial cells (BMECs) which regulate transport into and out of the brain. We used human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived cell types to model BBB function within 2D and 3D in vitro models. We compare gene expression between different iPSC-derived cell types, and specifically profile the response of iPSC-derived BMEC-like cells (iBMECs) to differentiation media volume, microenvironmental cues, and cytokines.
Project description:We report changes in gene expression from iPSC to iPSC-derived brain microvascular endothelial cells (dhBMECs) and from one-year cryopreservation of dhBMECs.
Project description:We have performed both proteomic and transcriptomic analyses of the brains of one-year old Polg mutator mice. As part of this analysis, we generated RNA-Seq data from RNA isolated from one cerebral hemisphere of these mice. mRNA levels and protein abundance levels were compared in this study. 11 samples of RNA isolated from mouse cerebral hemisphere. 7 Polg D257A/D257A, 1 Polg D257A/WT, and 3 Polg WT/WT. The samples were collected from one-year old male mice.
Project description:Purpose: The goals of this study are to compare the transcriptomic profile (mRNA-seq) of HD and control patient iPSC-derived brain microvascular endotheial cells to identify alterations in gene expression. Methods: RNA were isolated from HD and control iPSC-derived brain microvascular endothelial cells. mRNAseq using Illumina TruSeq mRNA PolyA+ v2 lib prep and HiSeq 2500. Statistical difference in mRNA levels were calculated with subsequent GO and pathway analysis. Results: mRNAseq and statistical analysis revealed differentially expressed genes between HD and control iPSC-derived brain microvascular endothelial cells. Conclusions: Our study shows differentially expressed genes between HD and control iPSC-derived brain microvascular endothelial cells, and reveals gene networks that are relevant to the mechanism of HD pathogenesis.
