Generation of human iHEP using a single polycistronic lentivirus. a Morphological changes after HDF and HDF-LT reprogramming to iHEP (see Fig. 1b for details). b DOX treatment halted cell proliferation. HDF-LTDOX were treated with 1000 ng/mL DOX and cells were counted by cell cytometry at different time points. c HDF-LTDOX were treated with 1000 ng/mL DOX and RNA isolated at multiple time points. ALB mRNA expression was quantified by qRT-PCR and expressed relative to the expression at 10 days. d, e HDF-LTDOX were treated with different concentrations of DOX and RNA isolated after 10 days. ALB and exogenous transgene expression was quantified by qRT-PCR and expressed relative to iHEP-LT levels (see Fig. 1b for details)
