Gene Expression Analysis of Embryonic Lineage Commitment in the Course of RA-Induced Differentiation of ES and EC Cells. To investigate early embryonic lineages during RA-induced differentiation of ES R1 and EC F9 cells, gene expression of pluripotency (Oct4 and Nanog) and lineage markers (Mvh, Gata4, Pax6, Afp, and Bry) was studied (Figures 2 and 3).

The OCT4A isoform is known as a prominent factor that sustains self-renewal and pluripotency in ES and EC cells. Compared to OCT4A, OCT4B isoforms such as OCT4B-164, OCT4B-190 and OCT4B-265 cannot sustain sternness properties in mentioned cells and respond to the cell stresses.

During differentiation, the ES cells lost pluripotency markers, such as Oct4 and Nanog, more readily than EC cells and then gained some, but not all, differentiation markers with faster kinetics.
