doi: 10.1093/stmcls/sxac009
Figure Lengend Snippet: Kidney organoids contain no residual iPSC. ( A ) Representative bright-field images of kidney organoid culture at different time points of differentiation. Scale bars, 100 µm. ( B ) Double immunofluorescence staining of whole organoid sections at the endpoint of differentiation (day 25). Left: PODXL (green) and CD31 (red). Scale bar, 100 µm. Right: ECAD (red) and Villin-1 (green). Scale bar, 200 µm. ( C ) Immunohistochemical analysis for markers of proximal tubular cells (Villin-1), distal tubular cells (ECAD), renal interstitium (PDGFR-α), and glomerular cells (WT1). Scale bar, 100 µm. ( D ) Gene expression analysis of pluripotency markers. Plots depict gene expression changes relative to undifferentiated iPSC. Data are represented as mean ± SEM ( n = 6 from 2 experiments). ( E ) Immunohistochemical analysis for pluripotency markers NANOG, POU5F1, KLF4, SOX2, and MYC. Scale bar, 100 µm. ( F ) Double immunofluorescence staining for SOX2 (green) and MYC (red) showing absence of co-localization. ( G ) Graph depicting the frequency of cells in kidney organoid containing multiple expression parameters. ( H ) Dot plot visualization to depict the expression of the pluripotency marker per cluster.
