Single cell RNA Sequencing (scRNA-Seq) on human embryonic stem cell-derived thyroid organoids exposed for 3 days to sex hormones + 1 day to benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) or PCB153
Human embryonic stem cell-derived thyroid follicles were exposed for 3 days to a mixture of the sex hormones beta-estradiol (E2), 5-alpha-dihydrotestosterone (DHT) and progesterone (PG) that resemble the serum levels of human male and female (post-ovulation) of reproductive age. Afterwards, they were exposed for 1 day to the mixtures of sex hormones + 10 uM benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) or 10 uM PCB153. At the end of the treatment period, organoids were dissociated into single cell suspension and single cell RNA-Sequencing (scRNA-Seq) performed.
