Fig. 4. Marker expression of SGCs in organoids culture and monolayer culture.

Fig. 4

a IF staining indicated the expression levels of sweat-gland-specific markers (CK19, CK18, and αSMA), and functional markers (AQP5, αATP). b Gene expression of CK19, CK18, and AQP5 in sweat gland cells during the whole culture until to passage 2. The expression levels were normalized to that in epidermal cells (EPC). D0: pre-seed sweat gland cell; P0, P1, P2: the cells cultured in organoids at day 5 after passage 0, 1, and 2. c IF staining indicated the expression levels of epidermal cell markers, CK14, CK5, and CK10. d Gene expression of CK14, CK5, and CK10 in sweat gland cells. e Representative images of swear gland cells derived from organoids in monolayer culture. f IF staining of the epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EpCAM), and E-cadherin (E-Cad) in monolayer cultured swear gland cells. g Expression of epidermal cell markers, CK14, CK5 and CK10. h Expression of sweat gland stem cell markers, αSMA and SOX9. i Expression of sweat-gland-specific markers, CK18, CK19, and AQP5. Scale bars: 50 μm. SGC sweat gland cell, IF immunofluorescence
