Figure Lengend Snippet: A Photomicrographs of cells subject to chemical PrE induction for 7 days, either untreated or IAA-treated cells to deplete OCT4 from the onset of the chemical PrE induction (d0), from day 1 (d1) or day 2 (d2). The PrE-like cells shown for d1-treated cells represent one of the rare colonies that did not die. The experiment was repeated 2 independent times. The scale bar represents 100 µm. B Immunostaining of GATA6, PDGFRa, SOX17 and GATA4, after 7 days of chemical PrE induction, for untreated (top) and IAA-treated cells from day 2 onwards (bottom). The scale bar represents 150 µm. C Quantification of all immuno-stainings in control ES cells (ctl in gray), after 1 day of IAA treatment (d1 in gray), and in cells differentiated for 7 days (in red), either wild-type to control for IAA effects or in Oct4-AID cells in the absence of IAA (ctl) or having experienced OCT4 depletion from day 1, day 2 or day 3 onwards. The boxplots show Z-score fluorescence measurements (median—bar; 25-75% percentiles—box; 1.5-folds the inter-quartile range—whiskers; the number of cells analyzed for each factor and condition are, in the same order as in the boxplots, for GATA6: 96243, 78118, 53408, 78178, 14895, 44722, 56419; for PDGFRa: 33965, 38644, 29457, 38204, 25878, 36252, 45315; for SOX17: 78506, 79183, 58912, 64119, 25878, 42948, 62884; for GATA4: 53214, 41156, 31082, 44788, 22362, 41880, 41470, all derived from 2 independent experiments).
