Morphology and gene expression profile of hOM cultures. a Representative phase-contrast image of hOM cells cultured as a monolayer. Scale bar = 100 μm. b. Comparison of DEGs of a representative hOM cell line cultured in growth medium (GM), neurosphere induction medium (NIM) and neuronal medium (NM). Relative transcript levels of several cell markers including nestin, SOX2 and TP63 are specific to basal stem cells. SOX2, PAX6 and TP63 are specific to cells committed to sustentacular cell fate. TUBB3 and OMP are specific to cells committed to olfactory sensory neuronal cell fate. Transcript levels are normalised to GM with hGAPDH as a reference gene, n = six wells/group
