GCN5 Regulates FGF Signaling and Activates Selective MYC Target Genes during Early Embryoid Body Differentiation
Precise control of gene expression during development is orchestrated by transcription factors and co-regulators including chromatin modifiers. How particular chromatin-modifying enzymes affect specific developmental processes is not well defined. Here, we report that GCN5, a histone acetyltransferase essential for embryonic development, is required for proper expression of multiple genes encod...
متن کاملCompartmentalized embryoid body culture for induction of spatially patterned differentiation
We developed a compartmentalized culture system of single embryoid bodies (EBs) utilizing a through-hole on a membrane to induce spatially patterned differentiation. An EB derived from mouse pluripotent stem cells was immobilized on the through-hole. By introducing a stem cell maintenance medium and a differentiation medium into upper and lower culture compartments, respectively, a localized di...
متن کاملSynthetic niches for differentiation of human embryonic stem cells bypassing embryoid body formation.
The unique self-renewal and pluripotency features of human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) offer the potential for unlimited development of novel cell therapies. Currently, hESCs are cultured and differentiated using methods, such as monolayer culture and embryoid body (EB) formation. As such, achieving efficient differentiation into higher order structures remains a challenge, as well as maintain...
متن کاملHigh-throughput screening assay for embryoid body differentiation of human embryonic stem cells.
Serum-free human pluripotent stem cell media offer the potential to develop reproducible clinically applicable differentiation strategies and protocols. The vast array of possible growth factor and cytokine combinations for media formulations makes differentiation protocol optimization both labor and cost-intensive. This unit describes a 96-well plate, 4-color flow cytometry-based screening ass...
متن کاملSpatially Patterned Neural and Cardiac Differentiation of Embryoid Body (eb) in a Microfluidic Device
Experiments using a micro-device, consisting of two flow channels and 3 pillars standing at the channel crossing, firstly showed that an embryoid body (EB) of iPS cells can be differentiated into neural and cardiac cells in a spatially patterned manner. Theoretical simulation showed that the chemical gradients can be kept at the crossing even with small flowing velocity of 0.1uL/min. It demonst...
