RNA was extracted from HLSC differentiated in RCCS or bioscaffolds using the PureLink RNA kit (Ambion) and cDNA was prepared using the High-Capacity cDNA Reverse Transcription Kit (Applied Biosystems). Target gene expression was analysed by quantitative Real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) on ABI 7300 Real-time system and normalized to endogenous 18S rRNA expression (4319413E, ThermoFisher Scientific) as previously described17 (link). Universal ProbeLibrary probes were used for target gene expression analysis (Roche). Primers used for qRT-PCR are listed in TableĀ S1.
