    Characterization of iPSCs on 0 d and during neuronal differentiation on 7 d. A Scheme of modeling NSC differentiation: reference iPSC lines (WISCi004-B and WAi001-B), iPSC lines from one late-onset AD patient (MLUI007-J/H and MLUi008-B/F), and one iPSC line from one matched healthy control (MLUi009-A). B Phase contrast image for iPSCs and NSCs on 0 d and 7 d showing a homogenous differentiation into NSCs (scale bar left 300 μm; scale bar right 100 μm). White arrows indicate the rosette-like formation of NSCs representing a premature stage of neural rosettes. Data are shown for one iPSC line (clone) per donor. C Comparison of the three iPSC lines regarding their expression of pluripotency markers on 0 d and their expression of NSC markers on 7 d. We could prove the presence of pluripotency markers LIN28A, <t>OCT4,</t> NANOG, SOX2 in iPSCs and NSC markers SOX1, SOX2, NES, PAX6, MSI1 in NSCs. RT-PCR analysis by gel electrophoresis visualized as bar charts (one amplicon each from MLUi008-B, MLUi009-A, WISCi004-B was pooled for analysis; n = 3, mean ± SEM). D IF analysis on 0 d showed nuclear localization of OCT4 and cellular distribution of the epithelial marker ECAD in iPSCs (scale bar: 100 μm). E Telomere length measured by multiplex QRT-PCR in iPSCs on 0 d and in NSCs on 7 d; N = 3 differentiations, mean ± SEM

A. Brightfield images of stem cell colonies (Brightfield) and same cells stained with Hoechst dye (Hoecsht; blue), α-OCT4 antibody (OCT4; green) and α-DNMT3B exon 10 encoded peptide (SG1; red) are shown. OCT4 and SG1 staining patterns are overlaid (Merge) and the area outlined by the white box in the Merge panel is shown in the Magnification panel to facilitate visualization of precise staining patterns in individual cells. The large arrow in the Magnification panel indicates a cell exhibiting high level expression of both OCT4 and SG1 (in this case, the cell is undergoing mitosis and the SG1 antibody ‘paints’ the chromatids of the dividing cell), the small arrow identifies a cell exhibiting high OCT4 but low SG1 staining, while the large arrowhead indicates a cell still expressing high levels of OCT4 that is not stained by the SG1 antibody. B. Similar analysis as in A (above) using a monoclonal antibody that detects the stem cell marker TRA-1-60 (green). As opposed to the intracellular proteins (above), the TRA-1-60 antibody detects the expected TRA-1-60 expression on the cell surface. While high-level TRA-1-60 expression is detected on almost all cells (both PSCs and SDCs), SG1 staining is more tightly restricted to PSCs or those cells in very early stages of spontaneous differentiation. All images are shown at 100× magnification with the exception of the two “Magnification” panels, which were increased in size by about 12 fold in order to allow visualization of individual cells.

    Figure Lengend Snippet: Mixed populations of pluripotent and spontaneously differentiated cells (4–5 days minus zbFGF) obtained from the H9 hESC line were analyzed by dual immunofluorescence staining using SG1 rabbit polyclonal antibody and mouse monoclonal antibodies to OCT4 (A) or TRA-1-60 (B).
