Outline of the stepwise differentiation procedure and key signature marker gene expressions during iPSC islet development. (a) A schematic diagram of a five-stage islet development protocol. (b,c, d) iPSC-derived cells were characterized for their pancreatic marker gene expressions at stage of definitive endoderm (b), pancreatic progenitor (c), and islet organoid (d). The expression levels were normalized to IMR90 cells. C: control; A: Ang2. Human pancreas RNA (hP) and human islet RNA (hI) were used as positive controls. Results were obtained from four independent differentiation experiments and shown as mean ± SD. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, and ***p < 0.001.
