HHEX knockdown results in defective pancreatic endoderm generation. (A) A heatmap representing normalized Z-scores of pancreatic marker expressions in posterior foregut (PF) and pancreatic endoderm (PE) with or without HHEX knockdown. (B) Expressions of ONECUT1, ONECUT3 and EPCAM at Stage 4 with or without HHEX knockdown. (C) Temporal changes in the percentage of NKX6.1+PDX1+ cells under continued Stage 4 culture with (dotted line) or without HHEX knockdown (solid line). (D) Immunofluorescence images (left panels) and percentage (right panels) of CPEP+NKX6.1+ cells at Stage 6 with or without HHEX knockdown. Scale bars, 100 µm. The data from three independent experiments are presented as the mean ± SD (n = 3). *p < 0.05 and **p < 0.01 by two-tailed Student's t-test in (B) and by one-way ANOVA with Dunnett’s test for comparison with siControl in (D).
