Figure Lengend Snippet: ( A ) Immunostaining of CD51, CD63 and CD71 in LBF treated cells at 160 DIV ( n =3). ( B ) Quantification of the percentage of LBF stage cells with CD51, CD63, and CD71 immunostaining and different combinations of co-expression ( n =3). ( C ) Immunostaining of CD51, CD63 and GFAP in LBF treated cells ( n =3). ( D ) Quantification of the percentage of LBF stage cells with CD51, CD63 and GFAP immunostaining and different combination of co-expression ( n =3). ( E ) Histogram of flow cytometry gating strategy for sorting CD51, CD71, and CD63 expressing or co-expressing cells after LBF treatment. ( F ) Proportion of FACS-isolated cells with each possible combination of CD51, CD71, and CD63 co-expression ( n =6). ( G ) Labeling of the four predominant populations identified based on CD51, CD71, and CD63 expression. Population 1 (CD51+CD71+CD63+, green), population 2 (CD51+CD71-CD63-, red), population 3 (CD51+CD71+CD63-, purple), and population 4 (CD51+CD71-CD63+, blue) account for 70% of FACS-isolated cells. ( H ) Principal component analysis (PCA) plot illustrating the overall sample distribution based on transcriptomic profiles of populations 1-4 cells used for RNA-seq. ( I ) Table depicting the number of differentially expressed genes from pairwise and 3 versus 1 comparison analyses based on greater than 1.5-fold difference and false discovery rate of 0.05. ( J ) Heatmap representation of relative expression of fetal and mature astrocyte enriched genes in each population. n represents the number of independent differentiation experiments from one ESC line and two iPSC lines. Scale bar, 50µm.
