Figure Lengend Snippet: ( A ) Representative curves of control iPSC-NCCs migration index upon treatment with aphidicolin (10 μg/ml) or vehicle (DMSO) for 36 hr. No significant difference was observed. (p=0.66; Two-way repeated measure ANOVA). Technical replicates: 4. Bar: SD. ( B ) BrdU assay of control and CHARGE iPSC-NCCs at 24 hr after replating. No significant difference between the control and CHARGE iPSC-NCCs was observed (p=0.86; Unpaired t test, Cohen’s d 0.12). Biological replicates (the number of independent NCC inductions): control, N = 5 (WD39, N = 3; 201B7, N = 2); CH1, N = 2 (CH1#25, N = 2); CH2, N = 2 (CH2#1, N = 2). Number of cells counted: control, N = 3244 (WD39, N = 2675; 201B7, N = 569); CH1 (CH1#25, N = 647); CH2 (CH2#1, N = 931). Graphs display the mean ± SD. ( C ) Cell adhesion assay of control and CHARGE iPSC-NCCs onto fibronectin. Each type of iPSC-NCC was cultured to semi-confluence in NC medium and was then replated (1 × 10 5 cells per ml) with WST-1 and incubated for 90 min. The absorbance of each well was measured and normalized to that of 201B7 iPSC-NCCs in each experiment. Bar: SD., Biological replicates: control (201B7, 1201C1), N = 6; CH1 (CH1#11, CH1#20), N = 3; CH2 (CH2#1, CH2#16), N = 10. Technical replicates: 4–6 per experiment., n.s., not significant (p=0.35 (Control vs CH1), p=0.99 (Control vs CH2); Dunnett’s multiple comparisons test).
Article Snippet: After 24 hr, the cells were fixed with PBS containing 4% PFA for 15 min at room temperature and immunostained with sheep polyclonal anti-BrdU antibody (1:500; Fitzgerald Industries International, Acton, MA).
