Figure Lengend Snippet: (a) IF staining for epiblast marker OCT4 (red), hypoblast marker GATA6 (blue) and epithelial polarization marker EZRIN (green) of the human gastruloid (based on hiPSC) on day 5. Nuclei were counterstained with DAPI (grey). Scale bar, 100 μm. (b) IF staining for epiblast marker SOX2 (blue), amnion cell marker AP2α (green) and KRT7 (red) of the human gastruloid (based on hiPSC) on day 7. Nuclei were counterstained with DAPI (grey). White arrow, amnion cell. White arrowhead, squamous amniotic epithelium. Scale bar, 100 μm. (c) IF staining for epiblast marker OCT4 (blue), primitive streak marker TBXT (red) and mesoderm marker MIXL1 (green) of the human gastruloid (based on hiPSC) on day 7. Nuclei were counterstained with DAPI (grey). White solid arrow, only OCT4 + epiblast. White arrowhead, OCT4 + TBXT + primitive streak. White arrow, TBXT + MIXL1 + cell. White triangle arrow, only MIXL1 + nascent mesoderm. Scale bar, 100 μm. (d) IF staining for epiblast marker (blue) OCT4, nascent mesoderm marker (green) MIXL1 and advanced mesoderm marker(red) VIM of the human gastruloid (based on hiPSC) on day 7. Nuclei were counterstained with DAPI (grey). White arrowhead, only OCT4 + epiblast. White arrow, MIXL1 + nascent mesoderm. White triangle arrow, VIM + advanced mesoderm. Scale bar, 100 μm. (e) IF staining for primordial germ cell marker SOX17 (blue), AP2γ (green) and BLIMP1 (red) of the human gastruloid (based on hiPSC) on day 7. Nuclei were counterstained with DAPI (grey). White triangle arrow, primordial germ cells. Scale bar, 100 μm. (f) IF staining for epiblast marker SOX2 (green), amnion cell marker ISL1 (red), amnion cavity marker EZRIN (blue) (upper) and the epiblast marker SOX2 (blue), amnion cell marker AP2α (green) and KRT7 (red) (lower) of the human gastruloid (based on hESC) on day 7. Nuclei were counterstained with DAPI (grey). White arrow, amnion cell. White arrowhead, squamous amniotic epithelium. Scale bars, 100 μm. (g) Upper: IF staining for epiblast marker OCT4 (blue), primitive streak marker TBXT (red) and endoderm marker EOMES (green) of the human gastruloid (based on hESC) on day 7. Nuclei were counterstained with DAPI (grey). White solid arrow, only OCT4 + epiblast. White arrowhead, OCT4 + TBXT + primitive streak. White arrow, TBXT + EOMES + cell. White triangle arrow, only EOMES + definitive endoderm. Scale bar, 100 μm. Lower: IF staining for epiblast marker OCT4 (blue), primitive streak marker TBXT (red) and nascent mesoderm marker MIXL1 (green) of the human gastruloid (based on hESC) on day 7. Nuclei were counterstained with DAPI (grey). White solid arrow, only OCT4 + epiblast. White arrowhead, OCT4 + TBXT + primitive streak. White arrow, TBXT + MIXL1 + cell. White triangle arrow, only MIXL1 + nascent mesoderm. Scale bar, 100 μm. (h) IF staining for primordial germ cell marker SOX17 (blue), AP2γ (green) co-stained with NANOG (red) (upper) and BLIMP1 (red) (lower) of the human gastruloid (based on hESC) on day 7. Nuclei were counterstained with DAPI (grey). White triangle arrow, primordial germ cells. Scale bars, 100 μm.
