(A) Schematic representation of differentiation protocol, partially adapted from Sriram et al. (2015).
(B) qPCR analysis of markers associated with pluripotency (SOX2), primitive streak/early mesoderm (TBXT), mesoderm (HAND1), endothelium (CDH5), arterial endothelium (EFNB2), venous endothelium (EPHB4), and hematopoiesis (RUNX1); n = 3 for all groups. Student’s t test: p < 0.0001 (SOX2), p = 0.0008 (TBXT), p = 0.0253 (HAND1), p = 0.0028 (CDH5), p = 0.0018 (EFNB2), p = 0.0049 (EPHB4), p = 0.0029 (RUNX1).
(C) Flow cytometry result showed generation of endothelial cells (CD31+CD45−) and blood cells (CD45+) on day 8 (D8).
(D) Giemsa staining revealed generation of all blood cell lineages. Original magnification, 40×. Scale bar, 25 μm.
(E) Flow cytometry result showed generation of multi-lineage blood cells.
