Characterization of macroH2A-depleted iPSCs. (A) qRT-PCR analysis of retrovirus expression in NSCs, NS Pre-iPSCs and in iPSCs derived from macroH2A.1 or macroH2A.2 NSCs. Klf4 retrovirus (RetrKlf4) is in blue and Oct4 retrovirus (RetrOct4) in red. (B) Gene expression analysis of the iPSCs depleted of macroH2A. qRT-PCR analysis of pluripotency gene expression in NSCs, ESCs and iPSCs derived from macroH2A.1 or macroH2A.2 NSCs. Endogenous Oct4 (EndOct4) is in blue, Rex1 in red, Klf4 in purple and Nanog in green. (C) Tissues of the three embryonic germ layers are present in the teratomas derived from macroH2A.2 shRNA expressing iPSCs. (D) Contribution of macroH2A-depleted iPSCs to chimeric mice. These were obtained after blastocyst injection of macroH2A shRNA iPSCs into C57/BL6 blastocysts. Agouti coat color indicates chimerism (arrows). Error bars indicate s.d.
