Step 1: iPSC/ESC maintainance

day 0 ~ 1

culture “adherent” human PSC in “E8” for “1” days. For ECM, use “Collagen” at “0.005” “g/m2”. Medium should contain factors shown in the following table, and should be changed once in “1” days.

concentrationunit
Y276321.0e-5mol/l

Step 2: Primitive streak 1

day 1 ~ 3

culture “adherent” human PSC in “unspecified medium” for “2” days. For ECM, use “Collagen” at “0.005” “g/m2”. Medium should contain factors shown in the following table, and should be changed once in “2” days.

Step 3: Primitive streak 2

day 3 ~ 4 (duration missing in database; assumed 1 day)

culture “adherent” human PSC in “unspecified medium”. For ECM, use “Collagen” at “N/A” “N/A”.

Step 4: mesoderm 1

day 4 ~ 6

culture “adherent” human PSC in “unspecified medium” for “2” days. For ECM, use “Collagen” at “0.005” “g/m2”. Medium should contain factors shown in the following table, and should be changed once in “2” days.

FGF——
VEGF5.0e-5g/l
SB4315422.5e-6mol/l

Ideally, “mesoderm” should express “APLNR”, “PDGFRA” at the end of culture.

Step 5: mesoderm 2

day 6 ~ 7 (duration missing in database; assumed 1 day)

culture “adherent” human PSC in “unspecified medium”. For ECM, use “Collagen” at “N/A” “N/A”.

Ideally, “mesoderm” should express “KDR”, “PDGFRA”, “PECAM1” at the end of culture.

Step 6: endothelial 1

day 7 ~ 8

culture “adherent” human PSC in “unspecified medium” for “1” days. For ECM, use “Collagen” at “0.01” “g/m2”. Medium should contain factors shown in the following table, and should be changed once in “1” days.

Ideally, “EC” should express “CDH5”, “CD43”, “CD73”, “NOTCH1”, “DLL4”, “EFNB2”, “HEY2”, “SOX17”, “CXCR4”, “NR2F2”, “MYB”, “GATA2”, “HAND1”, “HES1”, “NOTCH4”, “JAG2” at the end of culture.

Step 7: endothelial 2

day 8 ~ 12

culture “adherent” human PSC in “unspecified medium” for “4” days. For ECM, use “Collagen” at “0.01” “g/m2”. Medium should contain factors shown in the following table, and should be changed once in “4” days.
