Human and mouse adipose-derived cells support feeder-independent induction of pluripotent stem cells.

ABSTRACT: Although adipose tissue is an expandable and readily attainable source of proliferating, multipotent stem cells, its potential for use in regenerative medicine has not been extensively explored. Here we report that adult human and mouse adipose-derived stem cells can be reprogrammed to induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells with substantially higher efficiencies than those reported for human and mouse fibroblasts. Unexpectedly, both human and mouse iPS cells can be obtained in feeder-free conditions. We discovered that adipose-derived stem cells intrinsically express high levels of pluripotency factors such as basic FGF, TGFbeta, fibronectin, and vitronectin and can serve as feeders for both autologous and heterologous pluripotent cells. These results demonstrate a great potential for adipose-derived cells in regenerative therapeutics and as a model for studying the molecular mechanisms of feeder-free iPS generation and maintenance.

Project description:BackgroundThe use of stem cells is considered as an appropriate source in cell therapy and tissue engineering. Differentiation of human induced Pluripotent Stem Cells (hiPSCs) to Hepatocyte-like Cells (HLCs) on mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) feeders is confronted with several problems that hinder the clinical applications of these differentiated cells for the treatment of liver injuries. Safe appropriate cells for stem cell-based therapies could create new hopes for liver diseases. This work focused on the determination of a capacity/efficiency for the differentiation of the hiPSCs into Hepatocyte-like Cells on a novel human adult bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) feeder.Materials and methodsUndifferentiated human iPSCs were cultured on mitotically inactivated human adult bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells. A three-step differentiation process has been performed in presence of activin A which added for 3 days to induce a definitive endoderm formation. In the second step, medium was exchanged for six days. Subsequently, cells were treated with oncostatin M plus dexamethasone for 9 days to generate hepatic cells. Endodermic and liver-specific genes were assessed via quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction and RT-PCR, moreover, immunocytochemical staining for liver proteins including albumin and alpha-fetoprotein. In addition, functional tests for glycogen storage, oil red examination, urea production and alpha-fetoprotein synthesis, as well as, cells differentiated with a hepatocyte-like morphology was also performed.ResultsOur results show that inactivated human adult bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell feeders could support the efficient differentiation of hiPSCs into HLCs. This process induced differentiation of iPSCs into definitive endocrine cells that expressed sox17, foxa2 and expression of the specific genes profiles in hepatic-like cells. In addition, immunocytochemical analysis confirmed albumin and alpha-fetoprotein protein expression, as well as, the hiPSCs-derived Hepatocyte-like Cells on human feeder exhibited a typical morphology.Conclusionswe suggested a successful and efficient culture for differentiation and maturation of hepatocytes on an alternative human feeders; this is an important step to generate safe and functional hepatocytes that is vital for regenerative medicine and transplantation on the cell-based therapies.
