After tamoxifen feeding for five days and rest for another four weeks, mice are challenged with LPS (sub-lethal 8 mg/kg, i.p.) for analysis. b Western blot analysis of Sox17 protein expression in isolated ECs obtained from flushed lungs of Sox17EC−/− and control mice. n = 4. c Quantification of b shows 80% deletion of Sox17 in ECs of Sox17EC−/− mice compared to control mice. n = 4. d Time course of lung transvascular permeability following LPS challenge in Sox17EC−/− and Sox17fl/fl mice. n = 4. While control mouse lungs showed increased endothelial permeability at day 1 post-LPS and then recovered to baseline by day 5, Sox17EC−/− mice showed prolonged endothelial barrier leakiness post-LPS. e Time course of changes in lung transvascular permeability following LPS challenge was also carried out in Sox17fl/fl mice crossed with Cdh5-CreERT2 mice. n = 4. Similar as in d, these Sox17EC−/− mice also showed persistent leakiness post-LPS while control mice fully recovered. f Survival curve of LPS challenge in Sox17EC−/− and control mice. n = 8 per group. At this sub-lethal dose, all control mice survived whereas half of Sox17EC−/− mice died on day 2 post-LPS with increased mortality on day 3. By day 5, the death rate for control mice is 0 while for Sox17EC−/− mice is 60%. g Flow cytometry analysis of CD31+CD45− ECs among whole lung population in mice following injury. n = 4. In contrast to control mice in which CD31+CD45− EC population gradually recovered with day 3 post-LPS after initial loss of ECs, Sox17EC−/− mice showed significantly delayed restoration of ECs post-LPS period. h Quantification of BrdU+ nuclei in each field of 425 μm2 area in flushed lung cryo-sections from mice following injury. n = 4 mice per group and 6 replicates per sample. Slides are co-stained with CD31-AF488, BrdU-APC, and DAPI. At day 3 post-LPS, the control group showed a significantly higher number of BrdU+ECs compared to baseline. However, Sox17EC−/− mice showed markedly reduced level of BrdU+ECs, indicating reduced EC proliferation. i To assess whether expression of Sox17 in ECs can restore lung endothelial integrity, studies were performed in Sox17EC−/− mice to overexpress Sox17 protein. We used a mixture of 50 μg plasmid (mouse Cdh5 promoter—Flag —Sox17) encapsulated in liposomes, which were injected i.v. 3 h after LPS challenge. j At day 3 post-LPS, liposome vector-treated Sox17EC−/− mice showed marked EC barrier leakiness as assessed by lung transvascular permeability of albumin whereas the Sox17-rescued mice showed markedly reduced endothelial permeability. n = 4.

Detection of Human SOX17 by Immunocytochemistry/Immunofluorescence
Differentiation of hESCs into definitive endoderm cells by Activin A with CHIR99021.a The relative primitive streak (BRACHYRUY, MESP1, and MIXL1) gene expression of the day 1 differentiated cells by adding Activin A (100 ng/mL) with CHIR99021 (2–5 µM) or Wnt3a (25–100 ng/mL) treatments were determined by real-time quantitative PCR (qPCR). None, no WNT signaling pathway activators were used on day 1 for PS differentiation (Activin A only). b, c After 1 day, the medium was changed to Activin A (100 ng/mL) and 1 × CTS-B27 to induce DE differentiation. The definitive endoderm (FOXA2 and SOX17) and mesoderm (MESP2 and HAND1) relative gene expression levels were determined by qPCR. d Immunofluorescence analysis of the expression of SOX17 and FoxA2 for Activin A with 2 µM CHIR99021-induced differentiated cells on day 3. e, f The expression of SOX17 and FoxA2 for Activin A with 2 µM CHIR99021-induced differentiated cells was determined by flow cytometry on day 3. Isotype control antibodies were used as controls. At a specific gene expression, datum points lacking common letters differ, p < 0.05. Data are represented as the mean ± SD.

Detection of Mouse SOX17 by Western Blot
HIF-1 alpha activates transcription of Sox17. a Western blot analysis in control HLMVECs and HLMVECs for which CRISPR/Cas9 was used to delete HIFs. ECs were treated with the HIF prolyl hydroxylase inhibitor DMOG to induce HIF expression. DMOG (1 mM) increased HIF-1 alpha and HIF-2 alpha protein expression in control ECs but not in ECs lacking HIF-1 alpha or HIF-2 alpha. Induction of HIF expression was coupled to Sox17 upregulation. n = 3. b Quantification of a showed that protein expression of HIF-1 alpha and HIF-2 alpha in ECs was significantly increased by DMOG treatment. Sox17 showed a 2.5-fold increase in Sox17 expression control DMSO treated ECs. The increase in Sox17 was significantly reduced in HIF-1 alpha-deleted ECs but preserved in HIF-2 alpha-deleted ECs, indicating the importance of HIF-1 alpha in mediating Sox17 expression. n = 3. c Representation of the SOX17 promoter region with 3 HREs indicated by circled numbers, and their respective sequences are displayed. d HLMVECs were exposed to normoxia or 1% O2 (hypoxia) for 8 h. Ch-IP assay followed by qPCR was performed to amplify the HRE regions in the SOX17 promoter. Studies were performed in ECs exposed to either normoxia or hypoxia. n = 3. e 293T cells were transfected with a HIF-1 alpha overexpression plasmid containing SOX17 luciferase reporter constructs. Luciferase values were normalized to Renilla luciferase control reporter values. A schematic representation of corresponding deletion constructs is presented in the right panel. n = 3 and duplicates per sample. Results show that hypoxia activation of SOX17 HRE3 was required for Sox17 expression. **P < 0.01 and ***P < 0.001. Data are shown as mean ± SEM. Analysis was performed using two-way ANOVA with Bonferroni post-tests for (b, d, e) Image collected and cropped by CiteAb from the following publication (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31073164), licensed under a CC-BY license.

Concordant expression of developmental programs across organoids from four human iPSC lines. a Heatmap of expression patterns for major nephrogenesis markers across organoid differentiation time points (iPSC D0, D7, D15, and D29, averaged across four cell lines, ML protocol) and human adult kidney. Expression values were row-normalized to obtain z-scores; red color indicates positive z-scores. b Canonical (NPHS2) and data-derived (CLDN5) podocyte marker genes superimposed in tSNE plots from D15 organoids (N2 line, ML protocol). c IF staining of D15 kidney organoid (N2 line, ML protocol) for CLDN5 as a marker of early podocyte differentiation derived from the single-cell data.

Detection of Human Human SOX17 Antibody by Western Blot
Localisation of Sox17 staining in proliferative and secretory phase endometrial tissue and regulation by hormones. Within the proliferative (A) and secretory (B) endometrium, Sox17 localized to the glandular (open arrowheads) and luminal (closed arrowheads) epithelium, with staining appearing in an irregular, patchy, pattern. Smaller inset boxes show relevant IgG negative controls. Imaged at 20x magnification, scale bar = 50 μm. Treatment of endometrial luminal epithelial (ECC-1) cells with 10−8 M estrogen (estradiol)/10−7 M progesterone (medroxyprogesterone acetate) (, *p < 0.05) resulted in an upregulation of Sox17 protein, when compared to untreated, estradiol only (■, E) treatment groups.
