Step 1: iPSC/ESC maintainance

day 0 ~ 1

culture “adherent” human ESC in “unspecified medium” for “1” days. For ECM, use “Matrigel” at “N/A” “N/A”. Medium should be changed once in “1” days.

Step 2: Primitive streak 1

day 1 ~ 4

culture “spheroid” human ESC in “unspecified medium” for “3” days. Medium should contain factors shown in the following table, and should be changed once in “3” days.

concentrationunit
BMP41.0e-5g/l
FGF5.0e-6g/l
Activin A1.0e-6g/l
SB4315426.0e-6mol/l
CHIR900213.0e-6mol/l
IWP23.0e-6mol/l
l-glutamine0.002mol/l
Ascorbic Acid0.001mol/l
MTG4.0e-4mol/l
Transferrin0.15g/l

Step 3: mesoderm 1

day 4 ~ 5 (duration missing in database; assumed 1 day)

culture “spheroid” human PS in “StemPro”. Medium should contain factors shown in the following table.

concentrationunit
CHIR900213.0e-6mol/l
l-glutamine0.002mol/l
Ascorbic Acid0.001mol/l
MTG4.0e-4mol/l
Transferrin0.15g/l
FGF5.0e-6g/l
VEGF1.5e-5g/l

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

Step 4: endothelial 1

day 5 ~ 10

culture “spheroid” human mesoderm in “StemPro” for “5” days. Medium should contain factors shown in the following table, and should be changed once in “5” days.

concentrationunit
antagomir-1282.0e-7mol/l
l-glutamine0.002mol/l
Ascorbic Acid0.001mol/l
MTG4.0e-4mol/l
Transferrin0.15g/l

IL-61.0e-5g/l
IGF12.5e-5g/l
IL-115.0e-6g/l
SCF5.0e-5g/l
EPO2000U/l

Ideally, “EC” should express “HOXA”, “CD34”, “CD43” at the end of culture.

Step 5: endothelial 2

day 10 ~ 19

culture “adherent” human EC in “StemPro” for “9” days. For ECM, use “Matrigel” at “N/A” “N/A”. Medium should contain factors shown in the following table, and should be changed once in “9” days.

FGF5.0e-6g/l
BMP41.0e-5g/l
FLT3L1.0e-5g/l
SHH2.0e-5g/l

Ideally, “HSPC” should express “CD34”, “PTPRC” at the end of culture.
