Establishing extended pluripotent stem cells from human urine cells

BACKGROUND: Extended pluripotent stem cells (EPSCs) can contribute to both embryonic and trophectoderm-derived extraembryonic tissues. Therefore, EPSCs have great application significance for both research and industry. However, generating EPSCs from human somatic cells remains inefficient and cumbe...

Sumario:BACKGROUND: Extended pluripotent stem cells (EPSCs) can contribute to both embryonic and trophectoderm-derived extraembryonic tissues. Therefore, EPSCs have great application significance for both research and industry. However, generating EPSCs from human somatic cells remains inefficient and cumbersome. RESULTS: In this study, we established a novel and robust EPSCs culture medium OCM175 with defined and optimized ingredients. Our OCM175 medium contains optimized concentration of L-selenium-methylcysteine as a source of selenium and ROCK inhibitors to maintain the single cell passaging ability of pluripotent stem cells. We also used Matrigel or the combination of laminin 511 and laminin 521(1:1) to bypass the requirement of feeder cells. With OCM175 medium, we successfully converted integration-free iPSCs from easily available human Urine-Derived Cells (hUC-iPSCs) into EPSCs (O-IPSCs). We showed that our O-IPSCs have the ability to form both intra- and extra- embryonic chimerism, and could contribute to the trophoblast ectoderm lineage and three germ layer cell lineages. CONCLUSIONS: In conclusion, our novel OCM175 culture medium has defined, optimized ingredients, which enables efficient generation of EPSCs in a feeder free manner. With the robust chimeric and differentiation potential, we believe that this system provides a solid basis to improve the application of EPSCs in regenerative medicine.
