Transcription profiling of mouse glioma cell line grown in two types of media to investigate cell de-differentiation

Comparison of gene expression profiles of the GL261 cell line (a murine glioma model) grown in duplicate in two different types of media. AC samples where grown in DMEM supplemented by 20% FBS, 5 U/ml pen/strep and 4 mM L-glutamine. NS samples were grown in DMEM/F12 (50/50) supplemented with 2 U/ml pen/strep, 1 ug/ml fungizone, 1x B27, 20 ng/ml bFGF, 20 ng/ml EGF, 20 ng/ml LIF and 5 ug/ml heparin. We have reason to believe the NS media enhances cell de-differentiation.
