Generation and characterization of human MPS VII iPSC. (A) β-gluc enzymatic activity (expressed in nmol 4-MU/μg of protein/h) in control and MPS VII patient’s fibroblasts. (B) Representative colonies of control and MPS VII iPSC stained for alkaline phosphatase (AP) and the pluripotency-associated markers SSEA-3, Tra-2-49 and NANOG (all in red) and DAPI (blue); scale bars 200 µm (AP) and 100 µm (SSEA-3, Tra-2-49 and NANOG). (C) Karyotype of MPS VII iPSC. (D) Immunofluorescence microscopy of control and MPS VII iPSC differentiated in vitro and stained for the endoderm, mesoderm and ectoderm markers α-fetoprotein (green), smooth muscle actin (SMA, green) and βIII-tubulin (Tuj1, green), respectively; scale bars 100 µm. (E) Control and MPS VII iPSC differentiated in vivo by teratoma formation, stained with hematoxylin and eosin, showing potential to differentiate into endoderm (intestinal epithelium), mesoderm (cartilage) and ectoderm (neural tube); scale bars 100 µm.
