StemXVivo Endoderm Kit Summary

Kit Summary

A kit optimized to efficiently differentiate
pluripotent cells into definitive endodermal cells
under serum-free conditions.

Key Benefits

  • Definitive endoderm differentiation in 4 days
  • Pre-optimized to reduce experimental variation
  • Endodermal cells are 70–90% positive for SOX17
  • Endodermal cells express minimal to non-detectable
    levels of SOX7

Why Use Pre-optimized Reagents for Endoderm Differentiation?

Pluripotent stem cells can differentiate into all three germ layers including the definitive endoderm which gives rise to cells of the liver, lung, pancreas, and gut lining. Inefficient or inconsistent differentiation represents a costly and time-consuming obstacle in stem cell differentiation. See Details

High quality media and defined differentiation supplements can reduce experimental variability and increase differentiation efficiency.

The StemXVivo Endoderm Kit:

  • Includes premium quality reagents that have been optimized to induce endoderm differentiation in 4 days.
  • Includes pre-optimized components with low lot-to-lot variation to reduce experimental variability.
  • Yields endodermal cells expected to be at least 70–90% positive for the definitive endoderm marker SOX17.
  • Yields endodermal cells that express minimal to non-detectable levels of SOX7, a marker for extra-embryonic endoderm.

Kit Contents

The StemXVivo Endoderm Kit includes a serum-free, defined media supplement and premium quality recombinant proteins that have been optimized to efficiently differentiate pluripotent stem cells into definitive endodermal cells.   See Details

Cells are differentiated using two differentiation media that are made by combining the media supplement and the recombinant proteins included in this kit with RPMI medium. Differentiation Media I contains Activin A, FGF basic, and Wnt-3a whereas Differentiation Media II contains Activin A and FGF basic.

  • Endoderm Base Media Supplement (serum-free)
  • Recombinant Human Activin A
  • Recombinant Human FGF Basic
  • Recombinant Human Wnt-3a
  • Endoderm Marker: Goat Anti-Human SOX17 Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody

The Differentiation of BG01V Human Embryonic Stem Cells into Definitive Endoderm Confirmed by Cell Markers (SOX17+/CXCR4+/FOX2A+/SOX7low). BG01V human embryonic stem cells were differentiated using the StemXVivo Endoderm Kit (Catalog # SC019) and stained with A) a Goat Anti-Human SOX17 Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF1924), B) a Goat Anti-Human HNF-3 beta/FoxA2 Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF2400), or C) a Goat Anti-Human SOX7 Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF2766). In all images, cells were stained with the NorthernLights™ 557-conjugated Donkey Anti-Goat Secondary Antibody (Catalog # NL001, red) and the nuclei were counterstained with DAPI (blue). View our protocol for Fluorescent ICC Staining of Cells on Coverslips. Endoderm-differentiated cells were also stained with D) a PE-conjugated Mouse Anti-Human CXCR4 Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # FAB173P; filled histogram) or a PE-conjugated Mouse IgG2B Isotype Control (Catalog # IC0041P; open histogram). View our Flow Cytometry Protocols. High levels of SOX17, CXCR4, and HNF-3 beta/FoxA2 combined with low levels of SOX7 indicate definitive endoderm differentiation.

Differentiation of Human Amniotic Fluid Stem Cells into Definitive Endoderm. The StemXVivo Endoderm Kit (Catalog # SC019) was used to differentiate first-trimester human amniotic fluid stem cells (AFSCs) into definitive endoderm by culturing AFSCs in media containing recombinant human FGF basic, recombinant human Wnt-3a, and recombinant human Activin A for one day. On day 2, the media was removed and replaced with fresh media containing recombinant human FGF basic and recombinant human Activin A. The media was replaced twice daily until day 5 when cells were analyzed for expression of definitive endoderm markers. A. Before differentiation (day 0) AFSCs express the extraembryonic endoderm marker SOX7, but not the definitive endoderm markers  SOX17, HNF-3 beta, CXCR4, and GSC, as determined by quantitative real-time RT-PCR. After differentiation (day 5) into definitive endoderm, expression of SOX17, HNF-3 beta, CXCR4, and GSC was detected, but not expression of SOX7. ***P < 0.001. B. Before differentiation (day 0) AFSCs fail to express the definitive endoderm marker CXCR4 as assessed by flow cytometry. However, after differentiation (day 5) the cells express  CXCR4 (isotype control in black). ***P < 0.001.

Expression of Sox17 and HNF-3 beta in Human Amniotic Fluid Stem Cells Differentiated into Definitive Endoderm. The StemXVivo Endoderm Kit (Catalog # SC019) was used to differentiate first-trimester human amniotic fluid stem cells (AFSCs) into definitive endoderm by culturing AFSCs in media containing recombinant human FGF basic, recombinant human Wnt-3a, and recombinant human Activin A for one day. On day 2, the media was removed and replaced with fresh media containing recombinant human FGF basic and recombinant human Activin A. The media was replaced twice daily until day 5 when cells were analyzed for expression of definitive endoderm markers. Prior to differentiation (day 0), AFSCs show little to no expression of the definitive endoderm markers SOX17 and HNF-3 beta as assessed by confocal microscopy. However, after differentiation (Day 5), cells express both SOX17 and HNF-3 beta. The nuclei were stained with DAPI (blue). Scale Bar, 50 µm.
