Description
Transcriptome profile was obtained from a set of human embryonic stem cell (hESCs) line (WA09: H9) with different passage numbers (P1: 40s, P2: 100s, P3: 200s, P4: 300s passage). Culture adaptation occurs in hESCs during repeated in vitro culture to acquire survival advantage to be highly resistant to various stresses. In special, difference in gene expression profile of cell death or apoptotic gene signature was evident between P1/P2 and P3/P4 hESCs.
