Step 1: iPSC/ESC maintainance

day 0 ~ 1 (duration missing in database; assumed 1 day)

culture “adherent” human ESC in “PSCeasy medium”. “ESC” should be “downregulated” for “miR-148/152”. For ECM, use “Matrigel” at “N/A” “N/A”.

Step 2: Primitive streak 1

day 1 ~ 3

culture “adherent” human ESC in “RPMI 1640” for “2” days. “ESC” should be “downregulated” for “miR-148/152”. For ECM, use “Matrigel” at “N/A” “N/A”. Medium should contain factors shown in the following table, and should be changed once in “2” days.

albumin0.5g/l
Ascorbic Acid0.213g/l
CHIR900216.0e-6mol/l

Step 3: mesoderm 1

day 3 ~ 4

culture “adherent” human ESC in “RPMI 1640” for “1” days. “ESC” should be “downregulated” for “miR-148/152”. For ECM, use “Matrigel” at “N/A” “N/A”. Medium should contain factors shown in the following table, and should be changed once in “1” days.

Ascorbic Acid0.213g/l
FGF5.0e-5g/l

Step 4: endothelial 1

day 4 ~ 7

culture “adherent” human ESC in “RPMI 1640” for “3” days. “ESC” should be “downregulated” for “miR-148/152”. For ECM, use “Matrigel” at “N/A” “N/A”. Medium should contain factors shown in the following table, and should be changed once in “3” days.

concentrationunit
albumin0.5g/l
Ascorbic Acid0.213g/l
VEGF5.0e-5g/l
BMP42.5e-5g/l

Ideally, “EC” should be obtained at the end of culture.
