Differential gene expression in epithelial and mesenchymal populations of HMLER cells
HMLER cells (Ras-transformed version of HMLE cells) were FACS sorted as two subpopulation using CD24 and ITGB4 antibodies. Cells which are negative for CD24 and ITGB4 were mesenchymal in morphology, while cells which are psotive for CD24 and ITGB4 were epithelial. We performed RNA sequencing and expression of several epithelial and mesenchymal phenotype associated proteins were consistent with their mrphology. In addition to the EMT related genes, these two population expressed some unique set of genes. Overall design: epithelial and mesenchymal populations of HMLER cells
