Human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) were reprogrammed, expanded and characterized for pluripotency and differentiation capacity as described before (29 (link)). In brief, erythroblasts from three donors (age/sex: donor 1: 27/F, donor 2: 50/M, donor 3: 49/F) were reprogrammed by nucleofection of plasmids encoding for OCT4, shRNA-p53, SOX2, KLF4, L-Myc and Lin28. Human iPSCs were cultured using ReproTeSR medium (STEMCELL Technologies, Grenoble, France) and expanded using StemMACS iPSC-Brew XF medium (Miltenyi Biotec, Bergisch Gladbach, Germany). Five hiPSC clones from 3 donors (donor 1: 2 clones, donor 2: 2 clones, donor 3: 1 clone) were used in this study. For some experiments, we also used the IMR90-4 iPSC line (30 ). Human iPSCs were maintained on Matrigel (Corning)-coated plates in mTeSR1 medium (STEMCELL Technologies, Grenoble, France).
