Modulation of rostro-caudal and dorso-ventral axis specification induces the development of PHOX2B-expressing NCCs from hPSCs. (a) A diagram of the culture conditions for the modification of rostro-caudal and dorso-ventral axis specification of hPSCs. (b) A heat map image showing the percentage of eGFP+ cells on day 10 of differentiation using KhES1 PHOX2B::eGFP under various conditions. (c) Representative FCM plots of day 10 KhES1 PHOX2B::eGFP-derived aggregates under the indicated conditions (i–iv) of (b). (d) RT-PCR analyses for PHOX2B, SOX1, PAX6, SOX10, FOXD3, HOXB1, HOXB2, HOXB4, HOXB6, HOXB8 and HOXC9 in day 10 aggregates under conditions (i–iv). The right diagram shows the expression pattern of HOX genes in the rhombomere (r1–8) and the spinal cord (cervical and thoracic) region.
