Gene expression profiling of core glioma stem cells: a novel glioblastoma cell population with diminished antigen presentation

Using induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) technology, we reprogrammed GBM derived cells (GBM-DCs) into embryonic-like cells termed as induced core-GSCs (ic-GSCs). The aim of this experiment was to characterize the transcriptomic profile of ic-GSCs using RNA-seq. For this experiment, we selected three biological replicates of GBM-DCs (GBM-DC1, GBM-DC2 and GBM-DC3) and three independent clonal lines of ic-GSCs (ic-GSC#1, ic-GSC#3 and ic-GSC#7).
