D0.3.2 Cell culture automation:<br />

concepts<br />

Requirements for an automated ES cell<br />

maintenance system were provided, based<br />

on the needs expressed in D0.3.1 & the<br />

results of numerous interviews with both<br />

ESNATS consortium members & other<br />

research institutions<br />

D1.4.4 Report on the most suitable<br />

hES cell lines for<br />

establishment of neuronal<br />

teratogenicity in vitro tests<br />

Data obtained with different ES cell lines<br />

in the in vitro neural teratogenicity test<br />

was compared, in particular cytotoxic &<br />

lineage-specific toxic effects of different<br />

compounds during the neural differentiation<br />

process of HUES1 & H9 cell lines<br />

D1.4.5 Report on the characterisation<br />

of hES cell derived cardiac<br />

cells & predictive endpoints<br />

Results of the differentiation of hES cells<br />

into cells corresponding to the cardiac<br />

compartment were described<br />

D0.4.5b Summer school The second ESNATS summer school was<br />

held in Tallinn, Estonia on 19-23 Sept.<br />

2011<br />

D0.5.6 Draft plan for using &<br />

disseminating knowledge<br />

The draft plan for disseminating<br />

knowledge was updated with the plan for<br />

using knowledge<br />

D1.6.6 Report on the universal<br />

applicability of the in vitro<br />

development model as<br />

determined by comparative<br />

testing of several Cellartis<br />

hES cell lines<br />

Several different Cellartis hES cell lines,<br />

developed either in a feeder-based or in a<br />

feeder-free system, were evaluated & compared;<br />

cells either seeded as clusters or as<br />

single cells with the possible<br />

survival effect of a ‘survival compound’<br />

were evaluated<br />

D2.1.11 Optimised SOP for minibrains<br />

(modification after<br />

electrophysiological<br />

characterisation)<br />

The electrophysiological characteristics<br />

of spontaneous & evoked field potentials<br />

from neural networks derived from mouse<br />

ES cells were described<br />

D1.2.2 Expression profiles of hES<br />

cells after exposure to<br />

reference compounds & identification<br />

of pertinent toxicity<br />

biomarkers at the transcriptional<br />

level<br />

Pluripotent hES cells were treated with toxicants<br />

at sublethal concentrations (IC10)<br />

& the expression pattern of<br />

toxicity biomarkers after exposure to reference<br />

toxicants was analysed by semi<br />

quantitative RT-PCR & RT-qPCR<br />
