Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) offer a potentially unlimited source to generate endothelial cells (ECs) for numerous applications. Here, we describe a 7-day protocol to differentiate up to 55 million vascular endothelial cells (viECs) from 3.5 million human iPSCs using small molecules to regulate specific transcription factors. We also describe a parallel-plate flow chamber system to study EC behavior under physiological shear stress. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Atchison et al. (2020).
诱导多能干细胞 (iPSCs) 为生成内皮细胞 (ECs) 提供了一个潜在的无限来源,可用于众多应用。在这里,我们描述了一种 7 天的方案,使用小分子调节特定转录因子从 350 万个人 iPSCs 中分化出多达 5500 万个血管内皮细胞 (viECs)。我们还描述了一个平行板流动腔系统,用于在生理剪切应力下研究 EC 的行为。有关该方案使用和执行的完整详细信息,请参阅 Atchison 等人。(2020 年)。
