RNA sequencing on EphrinB2 overexpression cardiac fibroblasts and vector cardiac fibroblasts within or without induction of osteogenic differentiation in the 7th day.

Purpose: To investigate the function of EphrinB2 in the regulation of osteogenic differentiation of cardiac fibroblasts, we established EphrinB2-overexpressing cardiac fibroblasts and corresponding control group by lentivirus.Methods:Adult cardiac fibroblasts were isolated from 6 to 8-week-aged C57BL/6 mice, passage 1 cardiac fibroblasts plated at a density of 2.5 x 104 cells/cm2 were infected with the EphrinB2-overexpressing or vector lentivirus at an MOI of 20 for 12h, after 48 hours’ infection, osteogenesis was induced using differentiation medium (α-MEM supplied with 10% FBS, 10 mM β-glycerophosphate, 100nM dexamethasone and 50 µg/mL L-ascorbic acid). Cardiac fibroblasts harvested at Day7 were used for RNA sequencing. Comparative gene expression profiling analysis of RNA-seq data for EphrinB2-overexpressing cardiac fibroblasts and vector cardiac fibroblasts within or without induction of osteogenic differentiation
