Abstract
Human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) possess the ability to differentiate into a multitude of cell and tissue types but display heterogeneous propensity of differentiation into specific lineage. Characterization of the transcriptome of 11 hiPSC lines showed that activation of MIXL1 at the early stage of stem cell differentiation correlated with higher efficacy in generating definitive endoderm and advancing differentiation and maturation of endoderm derivatives. Enforced expression of MIXL1 in the endoderm-inefficient hiPSCs enhanced the propensity of endoderm differentiation, suggesting that modulation of key drivers of lineage differentiation can re-wire hiPSC to the desired lineage propensity to generate the requisite stem cell products.
