Unique gene expression signatures of independently-derived human embryonic stem cell lines
Open accessAbstract
Human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) have the potential to differentiate to diverse cell types. This ability endows hESCs with promise for the development of novel therapeutics, as well as promise for the development of a rigorous genetic system to probe human gene function. However, in spite of the impending utility of hESCs for clinical and basic applications, little is known about their fundamental properties. Recent reports have documented transcriptional profiles of mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs), adult stem cells and a single hESC line, H9. To date, however, the transcriptional profiles of independently-derived hESC lines have not been compared. In order to examine the similarities and differences in multiple hESC lines, we compared gene expression profiles of the HSF-1, HSF-6 and H9 lines. We found that the majority of genes examined were expressed in all three cell lines. However, we also observed that each line possessed a unique expression signature; the expression of many genes was limited to just one or two hESC lines. We suggest that the observed differences in gene expression between independently-derived hESC lines may reflect inherent differences in the initial culture of each line and/or the underlying genetics of the embryos from which the lines were derived.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
