Transcriptome Analysis of Axol Cortical NSCs and Neurons

  1. Home

In order to compare the expression profiles of iPS cells vs Axol Cortical Neural Stem Cells, we used the Affymetrix GeneChip® Human Transcriptome Array 2.0 platform. Results were analysed using Affymetrix® Expression Console™ and Affymetrix® Transcriptome Analysis Console (TAC) 2.0 Software.

Down-regulated Genes in Axol Human Neural Stem Cells (ax0016)

Expression of genes involved in pluripotency e.g. Oct4 and Nanog is down-regulated in Cortical Neural Stem Cells in comparison to the expression levels observed in their induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) parental line.

Up-regulated Genes in Axol Human Neural Stem Cells (ax0016)

NSC Markers

Expression of NSC markers, e.g. FOXG1 and Musashi 1 is up-regulated in Axol Cortical Neural Stem Cells in comparison to their iPSC parental line.

Up-Regulated Genes in Axol Human Cerebral Cortical Neurons (ax0026)

To compare the expression profiles of iPS cells vs Axol Human Cerebral Cortical Neurons, we used the Affymetrix GeneChip® Human Transcriptome Array 2.0 platform. Results were analysed using Affymetrix® Expression Console™ and Affymetrix® Transcriptome Analysis Console (TAC) 2.0 Software.

Later Neuronal Markers

Expression of later neuronal markers e.g. NMDA and VGlut1 is up-regulated in Axol Human Neural Cerebral Cortical Neurons in comparison to their iPSC parental line.
