Here, we present a protocol to differentiate human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) into hematopoietic progenitors that express the signature HSC transcription factors HLF, HOXA5, HOXA7, HOXA9, and HOXA10. hPSCs are dissociated, seeded, and then sequentially differentiated into posterior primitive streak, lateral mesoderm, artery endothelium, hemogenic endothelium, and hematopoietic progenitors through the sequential addition of defined, serum-free media.. This 10-day protocol enables the manufacturing of blood and immune cells in monolayer cultures.

    Ectopic CD11c expression in epithelial cells is associated with TP53 mutations. (A) Copy number variations of the ITGAX gene in multistage human ESCC development . Each point indicates a micro-biopsy sample. Sample size at each stage: NOR, 603; LGIN, 245; HGIN, 247; and ESCC, 180. (B) Levels of ITGAX copy number (GISTIC score) among human esophageal epithelial clones with different TP53 states . Each point represents one epithelial clone. Sample size for each group: WT, 35; 1 mut, 24; >1 mut, 8; and Loss, 11. (C) Effect of TP53- knockout on ITGAX copy number in human esophageal epithelial cells. Top: Representative images of ITGAX copy number in TP53 -unknockout or TP53 -knockout HET-1A, KYSE150, and KYSE30 cells with ITGAX -specific probe (red, arrow pointed). Bottom: Quantitative statistics of the percentage of cells with ITGAX copy number in TP53 -unknockout versus TP53 -knockout cells. The number of cells ( n ) obtained from 3 independent experiments is indicated on each bar. (D) Immunoblot of CD11c in HET-1A, KYSE150, and KYSE30 cells with or without TP53 KO. Each experiment had 3 biological repeats. (E) Proposed role of ectopically expressed CD11c for cancer cells to escape immune killing and acquire malignant phenotypes. TP53 loss-associated ITGAX amplification results in CD11c ectopic overexpression in epithelial cells. CD11c interacts with SMAD3 and enhances its binding to TGFβ/TGFBR1, promoting SMAD3 phosphorylation. Hyperactivated SMAD3 subsequently translocates to the nucleus, where it suppresses CD80/CD86 transcription while up-regulating the levels of MHC class II molecules. Together, these changes impair tumor cell-mediated antigen presentation and induce EMT, thereby promoting cancer development. In (A) to (C), P values were from the Wilcoxon rank-sum test. ns, not significant.
