Agg-spheroids maintain intestinal marker expression and mesenchyme expansion
(A) H1-derived day 7 spont-spheroids and day 8 agg-spheroids were harvested, fixed, and subjected to whole-mount immunostaining for intestinal epithelial (CDX2 and CDH1) and mesenchymal (FOXF1) markers. Scale bar, 100 μm.
(B) Representative images of the gross morphology of H1-derived spont- and agg-spheroids 3 days after embedding in Matrigel. Scale bar, 100 μm.
(C) H1-derived spont- and agg-spheroids were fixed after 3 days of culture in Matrigel and subjected to whole-mount immunostaining to identify intestinal epithelia (CDH1/CDX2) and mesenchymal (FOXF1) cells. Scale bar, 100 μm.
