GSE140221 Gene expression of human chord blood hematopoietic progenitor cells and induced hemato-endothelial progenitor cells derived from human iPSC

Contributors : Adrian Schwarzer ; Lucas LangeSeries Type : Expression profiling by high throughput sequencingOrganism : Homo sapiensInduced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) offer a promising platform to model early embryonic developmental processes, to create disease models and proof-of-concept experiments for regenerative medicine. However, generation of iPSC derived hemato-endothelial and hematopoietic progenitor cells for these applications is challenging due to variable and limited cell numbers, which necessitates enormous up-scaling or development of demanding protocols. Here, we unravel the function of key transcriptional regulators SCL, LMO2, GATA2, ETV2 (SLGE) on early hemato-endothelial specification and establish a fully inducible and stepwise hemato-endothelial forward programming system, based on SLGE regulated overexpression. Regulated induction of SLGE in stable SLGE-iPSC lines drives very efficient generation of large numbers of hemato-endothelial progenitor cells (HEP) (CD144+/CD73-), which generate hematopoietic progenitor cells (CD45+/CD34+/CD38-/CD45RA-/CD90+/CD49f+) through a gradual process of endothelial-to-hematopoietic transition (EHT).
