Teratoma Assay and Analysis Human pluripotent stem cells were trypsinized to single cell washed and resuspended in a hESC media At least 1x106 cells were injected into the kidney of SCID hairless outbred mice (SHO) (2-3 micecell line) Xenograft tissue masses formed within 8-10 weeks Masses were extracted fixed sectioned and HampE stained Cells representing all three germ layers were identified after careful examination under the microscope For XCI analysis teratoma was minced using a razor blade and then lightly titrated in trypsin washed and resuspended in human fibroblast media Teratoma cells were then plated as a monolayer for 48 hours and subsequently trypsinazed into single cells cytospan onto slides and treated for XIST FISH experiments as described above Genomic data analysis DNA methylation and gene expression data for 20 hESC lines 12 hiPSC lines and 6 fibroblast cell lines were obtained from the supplementary material of a recent study which reported a reference map of human pluripotent cell lines (Bock et al 2011) This DNA methylation dataset was obtained by reduced-representation bisulfite sequencing using an established protocol (Gu et al 2010) which has been shown to provide excellent accuracy for detecting DNA methylation differences between cell types (Bock et al 2010) For each gene promoter which was defined as the region ranging from 5 kilobases upstream to 1 kilobase downstream of Ensembl-annotated transcription start sites the mean DNA methylation level was calculated as a coverage-weighted average over single-basepair measurements The DNA methylation variation was calculated for each promoter region as the standard deviation of the average methylation levels across samples The gene expression data were obtained using Affymetrix microarrays and the mean expression levels of Ensembl-annotated genes were calculated by averaging over individual microarray probe intensities The gene expression variation was calculated for each gene as the standard deviation of the average methylation levels across samples Promoter regions and genes with insufficient coverage in the dataset were discarded using the same criteria as in the original publication (Bock et al 2011)

Immunocytochemistry Cells were stained for pluripotency marker and three germ-layer after fixation overnight in 4 paraformaldehyde at 4degC as previously described (Dimos et al 2008) Neuronal cultures were fixed in 4 PFA for 15 minutes at 4degC Fixed cultures were permeabilized with 02 Triton-X or 05 Tween in PBS for 30 minutes Cells were blocked in PBS-01 Tween with 10 donkey serum or 10 FBS for 30 minutes and then incubated in blocking solution containing primary antibody overnight Cells were incubated in blocking solution containing secondary antibodies for 1-2 hours then washed and mounted in Vectashield with Dapi (Vector Laboratories) and imaged on an inverted Olympus epifluorescence microscope or Zeiss Axiomax epifluorescence microscope Primary antibodies used SSEA-3 (12 DSHB) SSEA-4 (12 DSHB) TRA1-60 (1500 Millipore) TRA1-81 (1500 Millipore) Nanog (1500 RampD) Oct34 (1500 Santa Cruz) AFP (1500 DAKO) alpha-SMA (1500 Sigma) TUJ1 (1700 Covance) Thyrosin Hydroxylase (1500 Millipore) MAP2A (15000 Millipore) SYN1 (11000 Millipore) H2K27me3 (1300 Millipore) Secondary antibodies used in this study AlexaFluor 488 555 594 and 647 conjugated (1300 Invitrogen) Alkaline phosphatase activity was detected in live cultures using the alkaline phosphatase substrate kit (Vector SK-5100) according to the manufacturersquos instructions qRT-PCR Total RNA was isolated using Trizol (Invitrogen) and treated with DNase (Invitrogen) 1 μg was subsequently used to synthesize cDNA with iScript (Bio-Rad) qRT-PCR was then performed using SYBR green (Bio-Rad) and the iCycler system (Bio-Rad) Quantitative levels for all genes were normalized to endogenous GAPDH expression For pluripotency genes levels were expressed relative to the levels in human ESC lines Standard curves were run to ensure equal efficiency of all primers and RNA from 293 cells transfected with the plasmids encoding the transgenes was used as a positive control for viral transgene detection Primer sequences can be provided upon request Treatment of hiPSC with FGF and TGFβ inhibitors To test the dependency of lower and higher passage hiPSC on FGF and TGFβ approximately equal number of manually dissected colony clumps were placed 3mm wells Two days after colonies were marked and scored to ensure equal survival and were then fed daily with hESC media containing TGFβ inhibitor SB431542 (Sigma) or in hESC media without FGF containing the FGF inhibitor PD173074 (Sigma) Treatment with each inhibitor was carried out for six days after which cells were stained for Alkaline Phosphatase (AP) (Vector SK-5100) and quantified Colonies were manually scored for each inhibitor treatment and proportion of AP positive colonies was compared to population of cells that were not treated with either drug Generation of HPRT positive rescue line Human cDNA for the HPRT gene (Open Biosystems) was cloned into a lenti viral vector under the control of EF1α promoter and packaged in 293T cells as previously described (Son et al 2011) The HPRT negaive hiPSC LNS-2 was plated on matrigel (FISHER) in mTESR media (Stem Cell Technologies) and transduced with virus containing the intact HPRT gene or the empty viral vector 24 hours following viral transduction virus was washed and replaced with fresh mTESR media After three days cells with HPRT activity were selected with mTESR media containing HAT for 5 days Cells that were now expressing the viral HPRT were used for neural differentiation

Teratoma Assay and Analysis Human pluripotent stem cells were trypsinized to single cell washed and resuspended in a hESC media At least 1x106 cells were injected into the kidney of SCID hairless outbred mice (SHO) (2-3 micecell line) Xenograft tissue masses formed within 8-10 weeks Masses were extracted fixed sectioned and HampE stained Cells representing all three germ layers were identified after careful examination under the microscope For XCI analysis teratoma was minced using a razor blade and then lightly titrated in trypsin washed and resuspended in human fibroblast media Teratoma cells were then plated as a monolayer for 48 hours and subsequently trypsinazed into single cells cytospan onto slides and treated for XIST FISH experiments as described above Genomic data analysis DNA methylation and gene expression data for 20 hESC lines 12 hiPSC lines and 6 fibroblast cell lines were obtained from the supplementary material of a recent study which reported a reference map of human pluripotent cell lines (Bock et al 2011) This DNA methylation dataset was obtained by reduced-representation bisulfite sequencing using an established protocol (Gu et al 2010) which has been shown to provide excellent accuracy for detecting DNA methylation differences between cell types (Bock et al 2010) For each gene promoter which was defined as the region ranging from 5 kilobases upstream to 1 kilobase downstream of Ensembl-annotated transcription start sites the mean DNA methylation level was calculated as a coverage-weighted average over single-basepair measurements The DNA methylation variation was calculated for each promoter region as the standard deviation of the average methylation levels across samples The gene expression data were obtained using Affymetrix microarrays and the mean expression levels of Ensembl-annotated genes were calculated by averaging over individual microarray probe intensities The gene expression variation was calculated for each gene as the standard deviation of the average methylation levels across samples Promoter regions and genes with insufficient coverage in the dataset were discarded using the same criteria as in the original publication (Bock et al 2011)
