Regulation of TERT promoter activities during ESC differentiation. (A) TERT promoter activities in differentiating EB cultures. Cells were harvested for luciferase assays following the initiation of differentiation. (B) TERT promoter activities in differentiated osteogenic and fibroblast-like cells. Luciferase activities were measured in extracts from undifferentiated ESCs and their differentiated derivatives. P3, passage 3; P3-RA, P3 cells that were treated with 0.15 µM retinoic acid for two days. (C) Images of in vitro differentiated osteogenic and RA-treated cells. a, osteogenic cells were stained by Alizarin red. Differentiated cells were stained with an anti-vimentin antibody in right panels: b, bright field; c, vimentin antibody staining; d, DAPI staining; e, merged image.
