Venus positive cells experiencing low - level transcription at the Hex locus, but still expressing
the ES cell markers SSEA - 1 and Oct4, show elevated levels of PrEn gene expression and reduced levels of early ICM markers such as Nanog.
Using this cell line we show that apparently undifferentiated ES cell cultures consist of at least three cell types defined by this lineage - specific low - level transcription and the expression of
the ES cell markers Oct4 and Nanog.
The figure in question is supposed to show patterns of expression for a range of
ES cell markers in the 11 cell lines.
One of these cells types, characterized by both the expression of the Venus transgene and
the ES cells marker SSEA - 1 (V+S +), appears to represent an early step in primitive endoderm specification.

The scientists also discovered that genes modified only by one of the epigenetic
markers, H3K4me3, contain the DNA recipes for proteins that enable an
ES cell to proliferate, or duplicate itself.
Determining how
ES cell genes are modified by these epigenetic
markers may explain these
cells» unique characteristics, said the scientists, who are based at the Genome Institute of Singapore (GIS) and the Bioprocessing Technology Institute (BTI), both under the Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A * STAR), as well as at the National University of Singapore (NUS).

The expression of germ
cell marker genes in monkey
ES cells and tissues was examined using an RT - PCR analysis.
With regard to the meiotic germ
cell markers, SCP1 and SCP3 expression was also detected in the testes, whereas MLH1 was expressed in various tissues and
ES cells.
Among the early germ
cell markers examined, VASA is a candidate gene for detecting pre-meiotic germ
cell differentiation from monkey
ES cells, because its expression is detected earlier in the primordial stage of germ
cell development in comparison to that of PIWI family genes in vivo in mice and humans [11], [36]--[38], [49].
This observation suggests that PIWIL1 could be a
marker gene for the detection of
ES cell - derived germ
cells.
VASA is a valuable gene for the detection of germ
cells differentiated from
ES cells in monkeys, and the identification and characterization of germ
cells derived from
ES cells are possible by using reported germ
cell markers in vivo, including SSEA1, OCT - 4, and VASA, in vitro as well as in vivo.
However, while these
markers are useful tools,
ES cells can only be defined based on retrospective function.
However, these germ
cell marker genes are not appropriate for detecting germ
cell differentiation from mouse and human
ES cells because these genes are expressed in both
ES cells and germ
cells.
Therefore, SCP1 and SCP3 were employed as
markers to detect the meiotic stage in
ES cell - derived germ
cells.
A combination of several germ
cell markers will thus be necessary to detect germ
cell differentiation from
ES cells.
To explore the differentiation
markers for detecting germ
cells differentiated from
ES cells, the expression of various germ
cell marker genes was examined in tissues and
ES cells of the cynomolgus monkey (Macaca fascicularis).
SSEA1 is a possible
marker to detect
ES cell - derived germ
cells in monkeys, since its expression is found not only in primordial germ
cells in vivo [55] but also in
ES cell - derived germ
cells in vitro in mice and humans [3], [56].
Three recent experimental studies focused on low consumption / exposure.949596 In one study, 29 smokers each consumed a single cigarette, immediately after which they had a significant decrease in blood vessel output power and significant increase in blood vessel ageing level and remaining blood volume 25 minutes later, as
markers of atherosclerosis.94 In another study, human coronary artery endothelial
cells were exposed to the smoke equivalent to one cigarette, which led to activation of oxidant stress sensing transcription factor NFR2 and up - regulation of cytochrome p450, considered to have a role in the development of heart disease.95 These effects were not seen when heart
cells were exposed to the vapour from one
e - cigarette.95 A study exposed adult mice to low intensity tobacco smoke (two cigarettes) for one to two months and found adverse histopathological effects on brain
cells.96
CXCR4, which is a chemokine receptor, is expressed in migratory and post-migratory germ
cells in vivo in mice [27], and is also a
marker for germ
cells derived from human
ES cells [28], thus suggesting that CXCR4 is a candidate
marker gene for detecting
ES cells - derived germ
cell in monkeys.
