Step 1: iPSC/ESC maintainance

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

culture “adherent” human ESC in “DMEM/F12”. Medium should contain factors shown in the following table.

concentrationunit
KSR25%
PSA1%
Glutamine0.002mol/l
2-mercaptoethanol0.1%
NEAA0.7%
ciprofloxacin0.001g/l
FGF2.0e-5g/l

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

Step 2: mesoderm 1

day 1 ~ 2 (duration missing in database; assumed 1 day)

culture “spheroid” human ESC in “IMDM”. Medium should contain factors shown in the following table.

FGF5.0e-6g/l

Step 3: mesoderm 2

day 2 ~ 3 (duration missing in database; assumed 1 day)

culture “spheroid” human ESC in “IMDM”. Medium should contain factors shown in the following table.

concentrationunit
CHIR900213.0e-6mol/l

Step 4: endothelial 1

day 3 ~ 8

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

Ideally, “EC” should express “CD34”, “ACE”, “HOXA” at the end of culture. Ideally, “HEC” should express “RUNX1”, “GFI1”, “MYCN”, “RAB27B”, “HOXA9”, “HOXA10”, “FCGR2B”, “KCNK17”, “H19”, “SPN”, “MYB”, “CD32”, “HES1” at the end of culture. Ideally, “AEC” should express “CXCR4”, “DLL4”, “HEY1”, “HEY2”, “SOX17”, “GJA5” at the end of culture.

Step 5: endothelial 2

day 8 ~ 9

culture “adherent” human ESC and human ESC in “StemPro” for “1” days. “ESC” should be “downregulated” for “FCGR2B”. 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.

Ideally, “HC” should express “PTPRC”, “CD34”, “RUNX1C” at the end of culture. Ideally, “NK” should express “PTPRC”, “CD56” at the end of culture. Ideally, “TBXT” should be obtained at the end of culture.
