Treatment with a high-dose GSK3β inhibitor during posterior DE induction enhanced urothelial differentiation. (A) An overview of the culture protocol for urothelial differentiation. (B) An expression analysis of the urothelial markers in differentiated cells treated with a high (5 µM) or low (1 µM) dose of CHIR during posterior DE induction by qPCR (n = 5 independent experiments; mean ± SEM). *p < 0.05; two-tailed paired t-test. Abbreviations: iPSc, induced pluripotent stem cell; DE, definitive endoderm; CHIR, CHIR99021; BPE, bovine pituitary extract; ATRA, all-trans retinoic acid; TZ, troglitazone; PD, PD153035; UPK, uroplakin.
