Figure Lengend Snippet: ( A ) Gene expression profile of target genes following target genes’ activation, heatmap shows the expression level of the target genes in the iSAM_NT and iSAM_AGM treated with doxycycline (DOX) following normalisation on the -DOX control. ( B ) Dimension reduction and clustering analysis of the scRNAseq data following activation, filtered on cells where the gRNA expression was detected. ( C ) Arterial ( GJA4 , DLL4 ), venous ( NRP2 , APLNR ), and haemogenic marker ( CD44 , RUNX1 ) expression distribution in the clusters indicated by the colour. ( D ) Expression distribution visualised on the UMAP plot showing the location of arterial cells marked by DLL4 , and haemogenic endothelium marked by CD44 and RUNX1 . ( E ) Heatmap of the top 15 marker genes for each of the clusters. ( F ) Contribution of the different libraries to the clusters showing that arterial cell cluster is overrepresented in the iSAM_AGM treated with DOX, compared to the other libraries. ( G ) Expansion of the arterial population assessed by the membrane marker expression of DLL4+ following targets’ activation, quantified by flow cytometry at day 8 of differentiation. (Data are normalised on the iSAM_NT+DOX sample, n=5 independent differentiations, *p=0.0417 paired t-test.) ( H ) Colony-forming potential of the suspension progenitor cells derived from the two lines treated with or without DOX following OP9 coculture activation, data show the colony obtained for 104 CD34+ input equivalent (n=3 from independent differentiations *p<0.05, Tukey’s two-way ANOVA).
