GSE60328: Transcriptional profiling of CHB8 human embryonic stem cells with insulin receptor knockdown

• Organsim human
• Type RNASEQ
• Target gene
• Project ARCHS4

While insulin receptor (IR) signaling is involved in the maintenance and proliferation of human embryonic stem cells (hESCs), its functional significance is poorly understood. To elucidate the role of IR in the pluripotency network, we knocked down INSR in CHB8 hESCs and performed RNA sequencing and differential expression analysis. We observe dysregulation of the AKT and ERK1/2 signalling pathways and downregulation of extracellular matrix genes. SOURCE: William Mallard (wmallard@fas.harvard.edu) - Rinn Lab Harvard University
