Project description:Culture of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells in the presence of thrombopoietin induces megakaryocytic differentiation. Addition of nicotinamide to thrombopoietin-stimulated cultures results in significant increases in megkaryocytic differentiation including greater polyploidization and enhanced proplatelet formation. This study focuses on understanding the differences in the temporal gene expression pattern during differentiation with and without nicotinamide. Nicotinamide was added on day 5. Keywords: treatment response

Addition of nicotinamide to thrombopoietin-stimulated cultures results in significant increases in megkaryocytic differentiation including greater polyploidization and enhanced proplatelet formation. This study focuses on understanding the differences in the temporal gene expression pattern during differentiation with and without nicotinamide. Nicotinamide was added on day 5. Experiment Overall Design: Two biological experiments were analyzed. For each experiment, a sample was taken on day 5, before nicotinamide addition, and on days 6, 8, and 10 from both nicotinamide and control treated cultures. Each sample was analyzed in duplicate for a total of 14 hybridizations per culture or 28 total hybridizations.
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.
Project description:Single-cell profiling of human megakaryocyte-erythroid progenitors identifies distinct megakaryocyte and erythroid differentiation pathways
Project description:Transcriptional profiling of human mesenchymal stem cells comparing normoxic MSCs cells with hypoxic MSCs cells. Hypoxia may inhibit senescence of MSCs during expansion. Goal was to determine the effects of hypoxia on global MSCs gene expression.
