Differentially expressed lncRNAs in hDPSCs between the OCT4A-overexpressing and vector groups.

To determine whether lncRNAs were involved in the OCT4A-related network that regulates the self-renewal of hDPSCs, human lncRNA microarrays were used to identify the lncRNA expression profiles in OCT4A-overexpressing and vector hDPSCs. 978 lncRNAs (250 of which were upregulated and 728 downregulated) and 404 mRNAs (222 of which were upregulated and 182 downregulated) were potential differentially expressed genes (fold change≥2, P<0.05). Differentially expressed lncRNAs was measured in hDPSCs between the OCT4A- overexpressing and vector groups.Three independent experiments were performed at each group.
