Figure Lengend Snippet: FIGURE 1 Molecular characterization of pYM-iPSCs. (A) Expression of pluripotency markers hTERT, LIN28, SOX2, DNMT3B, OCT3/4, NANOG and KLF4 transcripts measured by RT-PCR in a representative clone of pYM-iPSCs (C6); (B) Expression of OCT3/4, NANOG and DNMT3B pluripotency markers measured by immunofluorescence in the pYM C6 clone. DAPI, nuclear staining. Bar: 100mm; (C) Dot plot showing the expression of the pluripotency marker SSEA4 in the pYM C6 clone compared to the negative control (CTRL-). PE-CF594-A, conjugated secondary antibody; (D) Karyotype analysis demonstrating chromosomal integrity of the pYM C6 clone; (E) Immunostaining of markers representing the three embryonic germ layers, GATA4 (endoderm), bIII-tubulin (ectoderm) and MF20 (mesoderm) expressed in the in vitro differentiated C6 clone. Bar: 100 mm; (F) ZBTB24, CDCA7, CDC40 and OSTC transcripts level in control (C14 and C22) and pYM (C6 and B9) iPSC clones measured by qPCR. The relative expression compared to the expression of GAPDH is shown for each gene. qPCR data are presented as mean ± SD from independent triplicates. Statistical analyses were performed using a one-side two-sample Student’s t-test compared to control: (*) P-value < 0.05, (***) P-value < 0.001.
Article Snippet: Primary antibodies against NANOG (SCTB, sc-293121), DNMT3B (Diagenode, pAb-076-005), OCT3/4 (SCTB, sc-5279), GATA4 (SCBT, SC25310), bIII-tubulin (Sigma-Aldrich, T8660), MF20 (DSHB, RRID: AB_2147781) were incubated overnight at 4° C. The cells were then incubated with secondary antibodies: AlexaFluor 594 conjugated goat anti-mouse IgG, AlexaFluor 594 Frontiers in Immunology 03 conjugated donkey anti-rabbit IgG (ThermoFisher).
