Affymetrix Porcine Genome Array (porcine)
Description
Integrity of the cornea, the most anterior part of the eye is indispensable for vision. 45 million individuals are bilaterally blind and another 135 millions have severely impaired vision in both eyes because of loss of corneal transparency; treatments range from local medications to corneal transplants and more recently to stem cell therapy. The corneal epithelium is a squamous epithelium that is constantly renewing with a vertical turnover of seven to fourteen days in many mammals3. Identification of slow cycling cells (label-retaining cells or LRCs) in the limbus of the mouse has led to the notion that the limbus is the niche for the stem cells responsible for the long-term renewal of the cornea4; hence, the corneal epithelium is supposedly renewed by cells generated at and migrating from the limbus, in striking opposition to other squamous epithelia in which each resident stem cell has in charge a limited area of epithelium. Here, we show that the corneal epithelium of the mouse can be serially transplanted, is self-maintained and contains oligopotent stem cells with the capacity to generate goblet cells if provided with a conjunctival environment. In addition, the entire ocular surface of the pig, including the cornea, contains oligopotent stem cells (holoclones) with the capacity to generate individual colonies of corneal and conjunctival cells; hence, the limbus is not the only niche for corneal stem cells and corneal renewal is not different from other squamous epithelia.

Illumina HiSeq 2000
Description
RNAseq analysis of human bone marrow derived stromal cells (MSCs) treated for 24 hours with or wihout 10ng/ml Fibroblast Growth Factor 2 (FGF2) MSCs were derived from 4 different healthy donors. Cells were expanded to passage 3-4. Then cells were treated with FGF-2. 24 hours later, total RNA was extracted (total 8 samples). Overall design: RNA was submitted to BGI Americas for RNAseq. Here, QC was performed using Agilent 2100. All samples had a RIN above 8.0. For preparation for library, mRNA was enriched by using the oligo (dT) magnetic beads. mRNA was enriched by using the oligo (dT) magnetic beads. mRNA was fragmented into short fragments (about 200bp) using a fragmentation buffer. Then the first strand of cDNA was synthesized by random hexamer-primer using the mRNA fragments as templates. Buffer, dNTSPs, RNase H and DNA polymerase I were added to synthesize the second strand. The double strand cDNA was purified with QiaQuick PCR extraction kit and washed with EB buffer for end repair and base A addition. Finally, sequencing adapters were ligated to the fragments. The fragments are purified by Agarose gel electrophoresis and enriched by PCR amplification. The library products are ready for sequencing analysis via 2 sE50 lanes in Illumina HiSeqâ„¢ 2000.
