Endogenous suppression of WNT signalling in human embryonic stem cells leads to low differentiation propensity towards definitive endoderm
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: We compared a transcriptome of hESC line VUB04 which has a low differentiation propensity towards definitive endoderm with transcriptomes of control hESC lines at the undifferentiated stage and after the 24-hour differentiation towards mesendoderm. The results showed that endogenous suppression of WNT signalling in VUB04 results in an inefficient switch from self-renewal to commitment during the definitive endoderm differentiation. Subsequenlty, we demonstrated that this differentiation disruption can be overcome by increasing the WNT stimulation or by inhibiting the PI3K/AKT signalling at the onset of differentiation.
