A New Type of Human iPS Cells: Human Induced Hepatic Lineage-Oriented Stem Cells
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Human induced hepatic lineage-oriented stem cells (hiHSCs) can be established as a new type of human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) with only some modifications of their culture conditions in both generation and self-renewal. hiHSCs were generated and expanded at a very high density under non-typical coculture with feeder cells in a chemically defined hiPSC medium . In detail, hiHSCs were generated from human non-hepatic cells by gene transfer with pantropic retrovirus vectors carrying the three transcription factor genes OCT3/4, SOX2, and KLF4. They were expanded at a very high density under non-typical coculture with mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEF) in a chemically defined mTeSR1 medium on gelatin-coated dishes. Self-renewing hiHSCs expressed markers of both human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) and hepatocytes. The potential hepatic specification of hiHSCs was defined by their expression profiles of hepatic markers under a self-renewal culture.
