Kidney organoid differentiation of modified iPSCs. (A) Schematic representation of the differentiation protocol of iPSCs to kidney organoids. iPSCs are seeded on day 0 (d0), harvested on day 7 (d7) and cultured as cell clumps on top of a filter till day 7 + 20 (d7 + 20). The change of added growth factors to the culture medium is indicated in the timeline. (B) PCA plot of bulk RNA sequencing data of control and B2M–/– clones at 3 timepoints: undifferentiated iPSCs (day 0), intermediate mesoderm cells (day 7), and kidney organoids at the end of differentiation (day 7 + 20). Detailed analysis is displayed in Supplementary Fig. S3. (C) Representative fluorescent images of whole organoids with at the top a quarter of the organoid and below a higher magnification within the organoid. Specific units of the nephron were detected by NPHS1 (glomerulus), LTL (proximal tubule), and ECAD (distal tubule). Nuclei were stained with Hoechst.
