doi: 10.1007/s00018-024-05413-x
Figure Lengend Snippet: RatSat localizes onto mitotic chromosomes in pluripotent stem cells. a-b : Representative images ( a ) and quantification ( b ) of immunostaining assay using anti-RetSat antibody in designated stemness positive (mESCs, hESCs, miPSCs) and negative (MEF, HEL-1, 293T) cell lines. Aurora B was used as a mitotic marker. Chromosomes were labeled by DAPI. Scale bar represents 5 μm. c . Neuronal lineage differentiation of mouse embryonic stem cells using LIF-free, RA-plus procedure. d-e : Confirmation of differentiation efficiency using qPCR ( d ) and immunoblotting ( e ). Gapdh was used as an immunoblotting loading control. f-g . Percentage ( f ) and representative images ( g ) using anti-RetSat antibody in mitotic mESCs and isogenic differentiation counterparts. n = 50 in each group. Scale bar represents 5 μm. h . Pluripotency reprogramming of mouse embryonic fibroblasts using Yamanaka factors transduction procedure. i-j : Confirmation of pluripotency reprogramming efficiency using qPCR ( i ) and immunoblotting ( j ). β-actin was used as an immunoblotting loading control. k-l : Percentage ( k ) and representative images ( l ) using anti-RetSat antibody in mitotic MEFs and isogenic reprogramming counterparts. n = 50 in each group. Scale bar represents 5 μm
