Differentiation of iPSCs to i-motor neurons. (a) Representative phase contrast image showing derivation of i-motor neurons from iPSCs to involve the embryoid body stage using small molecules and growth factors. (b) qPCR demonstrated expression of motor neuron markers HB9, ChAt and SMI32 in all lines of iPSCs-derived motor neurons. Gene expression was normalized to GAPDH and expressed relative to iNPCs and log10 of fold change values are presented in Heat map generated using Graphpad Prism version 7.03. n = 3 per line, with 3 unique human lines per group., data represent mean of the 3 unique lines +/− SEM. (c) Immunofluorescence staining in i-motor neurons shows positive expression for motor neuron markers HB9, βIII-tubulin, ChAT, and SMI32 and were quantified using Image J software.
