Expression data to investigate Costello syndrome using human iPSCs differentiated into astroglial progenitors and astrocytes. Homo sapiens

We used microarrays to compare gene expression between three HRAS-wild type lines (13, 162d, 165d) and three HRAS-G12S mutant lines (7, 8, 16). Arrays were conducted in all lines from iPSC-derived astroglial progenitors at 8 weeks of differentiation, and in wild-type astrocyte lines at 28 weeks of differentiation. Overall design: Cells of the astroglial lineage were generated for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix Human 1.0 ST microarrays. At each stage, cells were plated as a monolayer and treated with 10ng/ml of CNTF for one week before extraction.
