miR-302/367 Cluster Predominantly Regulates Apoptosis in hESCs
(A) Percentage of apoptotic cells in hESCs expressing control-KRAB, TALE1-KRAB, BCL-xL, or both TALE1-KRAB and BCL-xL. Cells were stained with Annexin V-APC and analyzed by flow cytometry. Data are represented as mean ± SD of three independent experiments (∗p < 0.05, ∗∗p < 0.01). See also Figure S4.
(B) Effect of apoptosis on cell growth of hESCs with knockdown of miR-302/367 cluster. hESCs expressing either TALE1-KRAB (left) or both TALE1-KRAB and BCL-xL (right) were cultured, passaged for several times, and then analyzed for GFP+ cells. The percentage of GFP+ cells was calculated for hESCs expressing TALE1-KRAB or both TALE1-KRAB and BCL-xL before and after passaging (lower). Data are represented as mean ± SD of three independent experiments (∗∗p < 0.01; N.S, no significance).
