Description

Accession
P08476
Source
Optimized DNA sequence encoding Human Inhibin Beta Alpha Chain was expressed in Chinese Hamster Ovary cell line.
Molecular weight
Native human Activin A is generated by the proteolytic removal of the signal peptide and propeptide, the molecule has a calculated molecular mass of approximately 13 kDa. Recombinant Activin A is a glycosylated disulfide-linked homodimeric protein consisting of two alpha chain amino acid residue subunits, and migrates as an approximately 26 kDa protein under non-reducing and reducing conditions in SDS-PAGE.
Purity
>97%, as determined by SDS-PAGE and HPLC
Biological Activity
The ED(50) was determined by the dose-dependent proliferation ofmurine MCP11 cell line was found to be in the les than 1 ng/ml.

Endotoxin
Endotoxin content was assayed using a LAL gel clot method. Endotoxin level was found to be less than 0.1 ng/µg(1EU/µg).
Presentation
Human Activin A was lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered solution in 0.2M AcOH, pH 4.0.
Reconstitution
A quick spin of the vial followed by reconstitution in distilled water to a concentration not less than 0.1 mg/mL. This solution can then be diluted into other buffers
Storage
The lyophilized protein is stable for at least 2 years from date of receipt at -20° C. Upon reconstitution, this cytokine can be stored in working aliquots at 2° - 8° C for one month, or at -20° C for six months, with a carrier protein without detectable loss of activity. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.

Methods

Isolation, culture and 48 h induction of neural stem cells

  • For 48 h induction using serum-free conditions with growth factors, dissociated neurospheres were cultured with recombinant human (rh) BMP4 250 ng/mL , rh Activin A 100 ng/mL and rh bFGF 100 ng/mL individually as well as in combinations as indicated in Supporting Information Fig S1 and

Blimp1−/− EpiSC Derivation and Culture

  • EpiSCs were derived from E6.5 epiblasts by culturing on MEFs in medium'>N2B27 medium containing human activin A (20 ng/ml), bFGF (12 ng/ml), and KSR (20%) (

Directed differentiation of hESC-derived cysts to RPE using transwell filters.

  • Ac+/Ac−: with or without Activin A.

Loss of REX1 within the pluripotent population primes cells for differentiation.

  • n = 3 E) Fold enrichment of the percentage of GATA4 positive endoderm cells generated from TRA+VEN− cells relative to those from TRA+VEN+ population after 3 days of treatment with Activin A and BMP4 in low serum media, as observed by immunocytochemistry.

K02288 selectively inhibits BMP signaling.

  • Activin A-induced P-Smad2 in HEK293 cells was weakly inhibited by K02288 and LDN-193189.

Differentiation from human iPS cells toward hepatic lineage cells.

  • Human iPS cells were sequentially stimulated with various cytokines: (1) activin A, (2) basic FGF and BMP-4, and (3) HGF.

WNT3 Is a Functional Biomarker for Predicting the DE Differentiation Potential (A) WNT3 levels in control and various knockdown HUES8 sublines correlate with their DE differentiation efficiency.

  • The four protocols included the following treatments in a serum-free medium: (1) A - > A (Activin A only for 4 days); (2) AW - > A (Activin A and Wnt3a for 2 days followed by Activin A only for another 2 days); (3) A - > AX (Activin A only for 2 days followed by Activin A and XAV 939 for another 2 days); and (4) AW - > AX (Activin A and Wnt3a for 2 days followed by Activin A and XAV 939 for another 2 days).

Human ES cell culture and differentiation

  • Human H1, H9 and UCLA1-6 (UCLA stem cell core) [–1 bFGF .
  • EBs were differentiated according to previous reports with minor modification [μM Y27632 (Rho kinase inhibitor IV, EMD Chemicals), 3 ng ml−1 Activin A , 5 ng ml−1 bFGF, 10 ng ml−1 BMP4 and 5 μM IWR-1 (EMD Chemicals), for the first 4 days.
  • EBs were then cultured in StemPro 34 supplemented with 10 ng ml−1 bFGF, 5 ng ml–1 vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and 5 μM IWR-1 for 5 additional days before plating onto elastic substrates.
  • Usage of all human ES cell lines is approved by the UCLA Embryonic Stem Cell Research Oversight (ESCRO) Committee and the Institutional Review Boards (IRB, approval #2009-006-04).

Differentiation of human ESC and iPSC into definitive endoderm

  • Differentiation into definitive endoderm was performed as previously described.
  • Briefly, pluripotent stem cells were harvested, gently triturated into single cell suspensions and seeded onto transwells (0.4μm pore size, Corning) pre-coated with human placental collagen Type IV, which has previously been shown to support airway epithelial cell growth.
  • The cells were immediately treated with 100ng/ml Activin-A and 25ng/ml WNT3A for 4 consecutive days in Endoderm ifferentiation Media consisting of serum-free Knockout MEM with Glutamax , penicillin/streptomycin (GIBCO), 1 mM nonessential amino acids (GIBCO) and 0.5 mM mercaptoethanol.
  • Subsequent differentiation steps were performed on the transwells.
