Figure Lengend Snippet: Edu was added during pre-OL stage (day 35-40, panel A ) or immature-to-mature OL stage (day 50-55, panel B ) of iPSC differentiation, concurrently with CHPG (30μM final concentration), CHPG+MPEP (20μM final concentration), or BDNF (10ng/ml final concentration) treatment. ( C-D ) On day 55, oligodendrocytes that proliferated were quantified by Edu detection and co-immunofluorescent staining with O4. CHPG significantly increased proliferation of OL lineage cells only when CHPG was given during pre-OL stage (day 35-40) (N = 3 independent experiments). The effect was reversed by MPEP. Scale bar = 25μm.
