Genome-wide chromatin accessibility profiling of cardiomyocyte differentiation from human ES cells and iPS cells under exposure to sublethal of isotretinoin (ATAC-seq). Homo sapiens

In this study, isotretinoin (INN)-induced alternations in genome-wide open-chromatin regions during cardiomyocyte differentiation were investigated. H1-hESC and C15-hiPSC were differentiated to caidiomyocytes under exposure to sublethal level of INN, and cells were collected at day 0 (undifferentiated cellsl) day 2 (mesoderm) and day 6 (cardiac progenitors) for genome-wide open-chromatin profiling by ATAC-seq. Overall design: H1-hESC and C15-hiPSC were grown in 12-well plates with Essential 8 medium (Thermo Fisher Scientific), and the cardiomyocyte differentiation was initiated using a monolayer differentiation method with PSC Cardiomyocyte Differentiation kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific) under exposure to 25nM of isotretinoin (INN). At day 0, 2 and 6 during the differentiation period (before the medium-change on that day), about 50,000 cells were collected for ATAC-seq. For each cell line and each time-point, cells from two independent differentiation wells were used as two biological replicates.
