Gene expression profile of human embryonic stem cell-derived hepatocyte-like cells in matrigel and recombinant laminins

ABSTRACT: Stem cell derived somatic cells represent an unlimited resource for basic and translational science. While promising, there are significant hurdles that must be overcome. Our focus is on the generation of the major cell type of the human liver, the hepatocyte. Current protocols produce variable populations of hepatocytes, which is the product of using undefined components in the differentiation process. To tackle this issue, we have designed a defined differentiation process using recombinant laminin substrates as extracellular matrix support, and compared the hepatic differentiation potential obtained with this matrix to that of matrigel. Human embryonic stem cells H9 were replated onto matrigel, pure laminin 521 and the laminin 521:111 mix (1:3 ratio, referred to as laminin 111 mix) coa
