Cell Surface Proteins for Enrichment and In Vitro Characterization of Human Pluripotent Stem Cell-Derived Myogenic Progenitors

Knockdown of CD271 in human PSC-derived myogenic progenitors reduced and impaired myotube-forming ability. (a) Western blot analysis showed successful knockdown of CD271 levels after treatment with CD271 siRNA #1 and #2 compared to scrambled as a negative control. This antibody clone might recognize another posttranslational fragment, hence the faint bands in the CD271 blotting. Beta-actin served as the loading control. (b) Means of % MyHC+ cells in differentiated cultures prepared from cells treated with CD271 siRNA scrambled (negative control) #1 or #2. Error bars represent SEM from 6 analyzed images. Statistical significance was calculated by one-way ANOVA followed by Dunnett’s post hoc test. . (c) Representative immunocytochemistry images of MyHC expression (stained green) corresponding to (b). .
