Abstract: Objective To investigate the effect of Notch signaling pathways on differentiation of mouse embryonic stem cells(ESC) into haematopoietic stem or progenitor cells(HSC/HPC). Methods 1)incubate mouse embryoid body cells and divide the embryonic stem cells into five groups as EB group,control group,Jagged-1 group, DAPT group and Jagged-1-DAPT group. 2)detect the phenotype of HSC/HPC by flow cytometry. 3)The expression of Notch signaling pathway, mouse embryonic stem cell phenotype and HSC/HPC phenotype were detected by RT-PCR. Results 1)the number of embryonic stem cells in Jagged-1 group was significantly more than that in control group and Jagged-DAPT group(P<0.05);2)the number of HSC/HPC in Jagged-1-DAPT group was significantly more than that in control group and in Jagged-1 group(P<0.05); 3)the expression of Notch1, Notch2 and Notch4 mRNA in Jagged-1 group was significantly higher than that in control group(P<0.05), 4)the expression of Notch1 and Notch4 mRNA in DAPT group and Jagged-1-DAPT group was lower than that in control group(P<0.05). Conclusions Jagged-1 activation of Notch signaling pathway potentially inhibits ESC differentiation into HSC/HPC in mice model.
