Co-expression of Shox2 with cTnT, Hcn4 and Nkx2-5 in differentiated pacemaker-like cells in EBs. (A) Shox2 expression, as revealed by DsRed (arrowheads), in an EB differentiated from stem cells bearing the Shox2HA allele. (B,C) Immunocytochemistry shows colocalization of Shox2 with cTnT, Nkx2-5 and Hcn4. (B) White arrowheads point to Shox2+/cTnT+/Nkx2.5+ cells, and open arrowheads point to Shox2+/cTnT+ cells. (C) White arrowhead points to a Shox2+/Nkx2.5+/Hcn4+ cell, and open arrowhead points to a Shox2+/Hcn4+ cell. (D) Percentage of cells that co-express Shox2 and other molecular markers. (E) qPCR reveals elevated Hcn4 expression in differentiated EBs with Nkx2-5 silencing by siRNA. **P<0.01.
