The TBX5-Clover/NKX2.5-TagRFP reporter PSC-CM line uncovers four distinct cardiac progenitor subsets [45]. The TBX5-Clover+/NKX2.5-TagRFP+ (+,+) (top right) and TBX5-Clover−/NKX2.5-TagRFP+ (+,−) (bottom right) show phenotypic features of presumptive first heart field and second heart field progenitors which give rise primarily to ventricular-like and atrial-like CMs, respectively. The TBX5-Clover+/NKX2.5-TagRFP− (+/−) population (top left) resembles epicardial precursors which can then differentiate into epicardial cell and nodal CM lineages. The TBX5-Clover−/NKX2.5-TagRFP− (−,−) population (bottom left) represents distinct endothelial lineage progenitors.
