Figure Lengend Snippet: ( A ) Schematic workflow of neuronal and astrocytic differentiation protocols using retinoic acid (RA) or EC23 as inducers. Diameters of embryoid bodies after one-, two-, three- and four-day treatment with concentrations of non-treated (NT), 0.5 µM, 1.0 µM, and 10 µM of ( B ) RA and ( E ) EC23. Bright-field micrographs of non-treated, ( C ) 10 µM RA-treated, and ( F ) 10 µM EC23-treated P19 embryoid bodies in a microtiter plate after four-day treatment. Scale bar, 100 µm. Viability of embryoid bodies after one-, two-, three- and four days post-treatment with increasing concentrations of ( D ) RA and ( G ) EC23. Statistical significance was tested by using one-way ANOVA (* p < 0.05 and *** p < 0.001), n = 3 ± SD. Bars without * do not represent statistical significance.
Article Snippet: The murine embryonal carcinoma cells line P19 (ATCC, Manasass, VA, USA, CRL-1825) was maintained in Minimum Essential Medium Alpha Modification (α-MEM; Sigma-Aldrich, Vienna, Austria) supplemented with 7.5% newborn calf serum (Sigma-Aldrich, Vienna, Austria), 2.5% fetal bovine serum (Sigma-Aldrich, Vienna, Austria), and 1% antibiotic/antimycotic solution (Sigma-Aldrich, Austria) under standard cell culture conditions at 37 °C in a 5% CO 2 humidified atmosphere.
