Step 1: iPSC/ESC maintainance

day 0 ~ 1

culture “adherent” human PSC in “E8” for “1” days. For ECM, use “Geltrex” at “1” “%”. Medium should be changed once in “1” days.

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

Step 2: Primitive streak 1

day 1 ~ 2

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

concentrationunit
Activin A3.0e-5g/l
CHIR900214.0e-6mol/l
FGF2.0e-5g/l
PIK901.0e-7mol/l
Y276321.0e-5mol/l

Ideally, “PS” should express “MIXL1” at the end of culture.

Step 3: Primitive streak 2

day 2 ~ 3

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

concentrationunit
A83-011.0e-6mol/l
CHIR900213.0e-6mol/l
LDN1931892.5e-7mol/l
FGF2.0e-5g/l

Step 4: mesoderm 1

day 3 ~ 4

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

concentrationunit
BMP43.0e-5g/l
A83-011.0e-6mol/l
VEGF5.0e-5g/l
FGF2.0e-5g/l

Ideally, “mesoderm” should express “CD13”, “KDR” at the end of culture.

Step 5: endothelial 1

day 4 ~ 6

culture “adherent” human PSC in “unspecified medium” for “2” days. For ECM, use “Geltrex” at “1” “%”. Medium should contain factors shown in the following table, and should be changed once in “2” days.

concentrationunit
SCF5.0e-5g/l
VEGF5.0e-5g/l
BMP41.0e-5g/l
FGF5.0e-5g/l

Ideally, “EC” should express “DLL4”, “CXCR4”, “CDH5”, “CD34”, “PECAM1”, “SOX17”, “GJA4”, “GJA5” at the end of culture.

Step 6: endothelial 2

day 6 ~ 8

culture “adherent” human EC in “unspecified medium” for “2” days. For ECM, use “Geltrex” at “1” “%”. Medium should contain factors shown in the following table, and should be changed once in “2” days.

concentrationunit
SCF1.0e-4g/l
VEGF5.0e-5g/l
FGF5.0e-5g/l
IL31.0e-5g/l
FLT3-L1.0e-5g/l
FGF2.0e-5g/l
IL71.0e-6g/l

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