We established two clones of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) with the presenilin 2 mutation, N141 (PS2-1 iPSC and PS2-2 iPSC) by retroviral transduction of primary human fibroblasts. To show the similarity among 201B7 iPSC, PD01-25 iPSC(Sporadic Parkinson's disease patient derived iPSC), PS2-1 iPSC, PS2-2 iPSC, this experiment was designed.

View SamplesThe Adar1 deaminase inactive mutant mouse tissue samples were obtain from the Walkley lab as described in http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26275108. We performed mmPCR-seq on the samples and measured the editing levels of. Overall design: Fetal mRNA profiles of E12.5 wild type (WT) and ADAR E861A mutant mice were generated by deep sequencing using Illumina HiSeq 2000.

View SamplesTo identify the true molecular features of the Ebf2+ cells, we performed microarray analysis of freshly sorted CD45-TER119-Ebf2+ and Ebf2- cells. This allowed for the detection of 1968 genes that were 2-fold differentially expressed in Ebf2+ and Ebf2- cells. Among these, 1075 genes were upregulated and 893 genes including Ebf2, were downregulated in the Ebf2- as compared to the Ebf2+ cells. These include Nov, Fmod, Ndn, Dcn, Ctgf, Angiopoietin like-1(Angptl1), Fn1 and Jag1, some of which has been reported to be expressed in culture-selected MSCs. Furthermore, consistent with antigen expression analysis by FACS, the Ebf2+ cells highly expressed transcripts of Pdgfra, Pdgfrb, Sca1/Ly6a, Thy1 and Itga7 and Itgav, that have been suggested to be linked to MSCs. Nestin was mainly expressed in the Ebf2+ cells whereas it was hardly detectable in the Ebf2- cells. Altogether, molecularly, the Ebf2+ cells displayed features of a MSC.

View SamplesIn this study we plan to compare the profiles of control sample (C) with the disease (FSGS) samples to identify differentially expressed genes. We hope to identify genes that are specifically activated in response to treatment with FSGS plasma. Overall design: Upregulated genes on incubating with plasma from recurrent FSGS plamsa sample in cultured human podocytes cells were probed
