Embodiment 1
[0166] Example 1 Obtaining Eosinophils Efficiently Differentiated from Human Embryonic Stem Cells (hESCs)
[0167] Previously, we studied the generation of hematopoietic cells from hPSCs (Wang et al., 2012). In the present invention, to generate eosinophils from hESCs, we developed a novel differentiation method by improving a previously established stepwise differentiation strategy by exposure to specific differentiation media to stepwise generate mesodermal, hematopoietic cells. Endothelial cells and hematopoietic progenitor cells (see figure 1 A and "Experimental Materials and Methods" section). After day 12, interleukin 3 (IL-3) and interleukin 5 (IL-5), which support eosinophil development and survival (Reichman et al., 2016), were introduced to induce eosinophil differentiation and maturation (Method and parameters refer to the "In vitro directed differentiation of human embryonic stem cells (hESC) and human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSC) into eosinophils" sec...

[0170] Example 2 Transcription analysis of hESC-derived eosinophils
[0171] We performed RNA-sequencing on parental H1 cells as well as differentiated cells harvested at D12 (E0), D16 (E4), D20 (E8), D24 (E12), D28 (E16), and D32 (E20). The data revealed that the differentiation process undergoes a transition from PSCs to eosinophils with a stage-specific clustering pattern ( figure 2 A and B). During hematopoietic induction, pluripotent genes were downregulated, such as NANOG and POU5F1; while HE-associated genes CD34 and CD45 were upregulated during hematopoietic induction and downregulated during eosinophil induction ( figure 2 B). Key developmental regulators of eosinophils, such as transcription factors CEBPA, CEBPE, SPI1, and GATA1 (Reichman et al., 2016) and receptors IL5RA, CSF2RB, ADGRE1, and CD52 (Davis and Rothenberg, 2014) ) expression gradually increases during eosinophilia; notably, expression of the maturation marker SIGLEC8 (Rosenberg et al., 2013) is ind...

[0174] Example 3 Generation of Eosinophils by Efficient Differentiation of Human iPSCs
[0175] To investigate whether our protocol could be applied to other hPSC lines, we used human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) for eosinophil differentiation ( Image 6 A). iPSCs show faster differentiation of hematopoietic progenitors than H1 cells, so we replaced the medium with eosinophil induction medium on day 8 (E0) to induce eosinophils (see "Experimental Materials and Methods "part)( Image 6 A). to EPX + Cell tracking revealed that eosinophils begin to produce EPX 4 days after induction + cells, whose number gradually increased and reached 100% at E20, yielding nearly 6.00 × 10 per culture plate 7 cells expressing Siglec-8, CD69 and CD11b ( Image 6 B-E). iPSC-derived EPX + The percentage and number of cells plateaued at day 28 (E20).
[0176] Next, we investigated the gene expression profile of human iPSC-derived eosinophils using RNA-seq and real-time qPCR. Cell...
