Age-related epigenetic signatures of iNSCs and PSC-derived NPCs. a Heatmap representation of DNAm levels at the 353 age-associated CpG sites derived from the Horvath model. The age-associated DNAm patterns of iNSCs differ from PSCs. b Age prediction using the Horvath model. Poly- and single-colony-derived low passage iNSC cultures (P ≤ 6) show a pronounced loss of age-related epigenetic signatures. Isogenic PB-iPSCs and iPSC-derived smNPCs display epigenetic age signatures similar to ESCs and ESC-derived NPCs. c Upon continuous expansion (P ≥ 18), a further decline of predicted DNAm age is observed using the Horvath model in 6 independent iNSC lines. Spontaneously differentiated cultures derived from 5 high passage iNSC lines and 3 isogenic high passage smNPC lines (P ≥ 18) show similar DNAm ages. d Subclones derived from single cells of a single-colony iNSC line (82b-3-SC) exhibit variable DNAm ages (Horvath model).
