In vitro differentiation systems of mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs) are widely used as tools for studies of cell differentiation, organogenesis, and regenerative medicine. We have studied the regulation of neuron-specific imprinting genes,Ube3aand its antisense transcripts (Ube3a ATS), using in vitro neuronal differentiation of F1 hybrid ESCs. Each different non-adherent plate used for embryoid body (EB) formation during differentiation is associated with different costs; notably, plates coated with 2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine (MPC) polymer are more expensive than untreated polystyrene plates. Here, we assessed whether the polymer-coated plates gave better results than the untreated plates. The first stage of differentation was performed in the MPC polymer-coated or untreated plates. The formed EBs were then passaged onto laminin-coated plates for further differentiation into neurons. Neither the neuron-specific imprinting status ofUbe3anor the expression levels of the neuron-specific markersUbe3a ATSandMtap2differed between neurons prepared on untreated plates and those prepared on MPC polymer-coated plates. These results suggest that the two non-adherent plates displayed almost the same characteristics for inducing neuronal differentiation of mouse ESCs and EB formation. Our study proved that untreated polystyrene plates are a cost-effective choice for EB formation in in vitro differentiation systems of mouse ESCs.
