Developmental equivalence of epiblast stem cells (EpiSCs)

ABSTRACT: Epiblast stem cells (EpiSCs) were derived from the epiblast or the ectoderm (epi/ect) of pre-gastrula stage to late-bud stage mouse embryos. To identify if the EpiSCs retain any original stage specific characteristics or which developmental stage of epi/ect they most closely related to, we performed microarray analysis to compare the gene expression profile of multiple EpiSC lines with that of epi/ect of 7 different stages. Eighteen EpiSC lines established from R1-129 embryos of different stages and 1 line (EpiSC9) imported were harvested in triplicate cultured separately for 3 days. The * marks the subline thawed at a different time and harvested but originated from the same embryo. EpiSC9_T is an RNA sample provided by Dr Tesar. ESCs, iPSCs and MEFs were prepared accordingly. For the epi
