美國Sox1-GFP報告基因小鼠胚胎干細(xì)胞的介紹

美國Sox1-GFP報告基因小鼠胚胎干細(xì)胞是美國PrimCells干細(xì)胞：PrimCells提供多種報告基因敲進的小鼠胚胎干細(xì)胞，該類細(xì)胞皆在原始基因座上敲入熒光報告基因，從而使熒光蛋白的表達能真實反映原基因座附近的表達調(diào)控狀況。該類細(xì)胞作為研究胚胎干細(xì)胞自更新和定向分化的有力工具，受到多家著名研究所研究人員的青睞。

Introduction:

Sox1 is a transcriptional factor from SOX protein family. It is one of the earliest and most specific markers for neural progenitors and expressed throughout the central neural system during early embryo development^{1, 2}. PrimCells is proud to isolate and provide to the research community the culture of Sox1-EGFP ESCs from transgenic knock-in mice. These cells were cultured in standard ESCs medium on gelatin coated plates and be used as a powerful tool to examine the process by which mESCs acquire neural identity.

ES cell culture and monolayer neural differentiation procudures

Sox1-GFP mESCs should be maintained in the stem cell culture medium to keep the pluripotent state (Figure 1).

For monoculture neural differentiation, dissociate and plate the undifferentiated Sox1-GFP mESCs  on to 0.1% gelatin-coated tissue culture plastic at a density of 1-3x10⁴/cm² in serum-free N2B27 medium. Renew N2B27 medium every 2 days. GFP positive cells can be observed on Day 5 (Figure 2).

Growth Medium

Embryonic stem cell medium

DMEM:   415ml

FBS: 75ml (HYCLONE LABORATORIES INC, Cat# SH30070.03EH)

L-Glutamine: 5ml

MEM NEAA: 5ml

1-Thioglycerol: 4.3ul

LIF: 50ul LIF: 50ul (10ng/ml final concentration)  (PrimCells, Cat# PFHSA01)

Total Volume: 500ml

N2B27 medium for neural differentiation

N2B27 is a 1:1 mixture of DMEM/F12 (Gibco, Paisley, UK) supplemented with modified N2 (25 µg/ml insulin, 100 µg/ml apo-transferrin, 6 ng/ml progesterone, 16 µg/ml putrescine, 30 nM sodium selenite and 50 µg/ml bovine serum albumin fraction V (Gibco)) and Neurobasal medium supplemented with B27 (both from Gibco).

Alternatively, Ndiff227 (StemCells INC, Cat# SCS-SF-NB-02) is ready-to-use medium for the neural differentiation of mESCs  in adherent monoculture conditions as described in Ying QL et al (2003)².
