Inhibition of BRD4 suppressed meso-endodermal differentiation, while promoting the differentiation of cardiomyocytes in hESCs. (A and B) qPCR analysis of transcript levels of TBXT and MIXL1 in early mesoderm (A), and MESP1 and TBX6 in late mesoderm (B) differentiated from hESCs following inhibition of BRD4 with 50 nM JQ1. (C) Transcript levels of SOX17 in endoderm differentiated from hESCs following inhibition of BRD4 with 10 or 50 nM JQ1, or 1 nM ARV-825. (D) Western blot analysis of SMAD2 and p-SMAD2 protein levels in hESCs cultured in E8 medium following inhibition of BRD4 with 50 nM JQ1 or 1 nM ARV-825 for 2 days. (Eand F) qPCR analysis of transcript levels of TGF-β pathway-associated genes (E), and WNT3 and WNT3A (F) in hESCs cultured in E8 medium following inhibition of BRD4 with 50 nM JQ1 for 2 days. (G) qPCR analysis of the transcript levels of TNNT2 and NKX2.5 in cardiomyocytes derived from hESCs following treatment with 10 μM I-BRD9, 2.5 μM IWP2 or a combination of both. (H) FACS analysis of TNNT2-positive cells in cardiomyocyte differentiation of hESCs following treatment with 10 μM I-BRD9, 2.5 μM IWP2 or a combination of both. (I and J) qPCR analysis of the transcript levels of TNNT2 (I) and NKX2.5 (J) in cardiomyocytes derived from hESCs following treatment with 2.5 μM IWP2, 1 nM ARV-825 or a combination of both.
