1 Multicolor flow cytometry analysis of human pluripotent stem cell cultures ackground Thorough characterization of pluripotency is mandatory during the establishment of newly derived human embryonic or induced pluripotent stem cell (hipsc) lines. However, it is equally important to constantly monitor established cell lines in order to detect signs of spontaneous differentiation early on. Monitoring of the pluripotency and differentiation status of PSC cultures is commonly done by immunofluorescence microscopy analysis. This method, however, is laborious and does not allow for reliable quantification of cell populations. Despite its vast potential for sophisticated and detailed cell analysis, flow cytometry is used only seldom in stem cell research. Here we present a multicolor flow cytometry protocol that allows for the simultaneous quantification of intracellular and surface markers for easy monitoring of the pluripotency status of human PSC cultures. Material Antibodies Table specifies the antibodies used for the multicolor panel and the corresponding isotype control antibodies. The recommended dilution for each antibody is specified in the datasheet. uffers and reagents uffer consisting of PS, ph 7.2,.5% SA, 2 mm EDTA is prepared by diluting MACS SA Stock Solution (# ) :2 with automacs Rinsing Solution (# ).

Cells Human PSCs were cultured in StemMACS ips-rew XF, human (#34-368), in 6-well plates coated with Matrigel hesc-qualified Matrix. To confirm that the flow cytometry assay reliably detects a loss of pluripotency, we also analyzed hipscs differentiated towards the neural lineage. oth pluripotent and differentiated cells were treated with.5% trypsin/edta to obtain single cells for flow cytometry analysis.

2 Flow cytometry Cell staining The panel for analysis of PSCs includes antibodies for both surface markers and intracellular markers. Surface markers are stained first. Subsequently, cells are fixed and permeabilized for intracellular staining. To set up the instrument and compensate for spectral overlap, single stainings for each antibody and an unstained cell sample are required. The unstained sample does not contain any antibody, but is otherwise treated, e.g., fixed and permeabilized, in the same way as the stained samples. Please see the pipetting scheme in table 2 for an overview. As SSEA is not expressed in pluripotent cells, the MACS Comp ead Kit, anti-rea is used for compensation of PE-Vio 77 instead of a cell sample. Note: Fluorescence-minus-one (FMO) controls might help you to set the gates more accurately. FMO controls contain all antibodies except for one.. Determine cell number. Use ⁶ ips cells per sample. 2. Centrifuge cell suspension at 3 g for 5 minutes. Aspirate supernatant completely. 3. Resuspend sample in 77.8 μl of buffer. This will be the cell sample stained with the complete panel. 4.

Mix well and incubate for minutes in the dark in the refrigerator (2 8 C). Note: Higher temperatures and/or longer incubation times may lead to non-specific cell labeling. Working on ice requires increased incubation times. 9. Wash cells by adding ml of buffer per sample and centrifuge at 3 g for 5 minutes. Aspirate supernatant completely.. Resuspend all samples in µl of buffer. Add µl of Inside Fix per sample.. Mix well and incubate for 2 minutes in the dark at room temperature. 2.

Wash cells by adding ml of Inside Perm and centrifuge at 3 g for 5 minutes. Aspirate supernatant completely. 9. Resuspend cell pellet in a suitable amount of buffer for analysis by flow cytometry. A volume of ml of buffer per sample is recommended. Note: Fixed and permeabilized cells are smaller than viable cells. Thus, FSC/SSC settings of the flow cytometer might have to be adjusted.

Use single-color stainings (samples 3 7) to define the compensation (fig. ). 3. To set up the PE-Vio 77 channel, temporarily lower the trigger to detect all the Comp eads and define the compensation (fig. C). Afterwards change the trigger settings back to the value specified in step.

Figure 3A shows a representative result for the analysis of human ipscs. The pluripotency markers SSEA-4, SSEA-5, TRA-6, Sox-2, and Oct 3/4 were expressed at high levels, whereas expression of the differentiation marker SSEA was low. In contrast, cells differentiated towards the neural lineage expressed the pluripotency markers at low levels, or even shut off the expression of pluripotency markers, and up-regulated the differentiation marker SSEA (fig. 3). Sox2 was expressed at high levels, as could be expected from neural precursors (fig. 3). As a differentiation control, we stained a second sample with antibodies against PSA-NCAM and Pax6, which are markers for neuronal and neural progenitors, respectively. The large majority of cells (8%) co-expressed both markers (fig. 3). Multicolor flow cytometry analysis of hpscs April 28 3/5

5 PSC cultures were also monitored visually by light microscopy. The images show the typical morphology of PSC colonies (fig. 4A) or cells differentiated into neural precursors (fig. 4). A Conclusion The antibody panel described in this application note enables reliable monitoring of the pluripotency status of PSCs by multicolor flow cytometry. The procedure is fast and easy to perform for routine monitoring. Intracellular and surface markers are detected simultaneously. Figure 4: Cultures of undifferentiated human ipscs (A) and ipscs differentiated towards the neural lineage (). Shown are light microscopy images of the same cultures that were used for flow cytometry.
