Embryonic stem cells (ES) can be exploited to analyze in vitro mechanisms of cellular differentiation. We have utilized ES-derived embryoid body formation in an attempt to study cell types resulting from in vitro differentiation. To this end, a variety of molecular markers, preferably those which have been associated with regulatory events during mouse embryogenesis, was employed. Specifically, Brachyury (T), Pax-3 and Pax-6 genes as well as Nkx-1.1 were used. We could demonstrate that the expression of these genes in vitro was regulated by growth factors such as activin A or bFGF. Implications of these findings and the possible applications for identifying new genes are discussed.
