Protocol for the generation of human induced hepatic stem cells using Sendai virus vectors

Our recent study demonstrated the generation of induced tissue-specific stem/progenitor (iTS/iTP) cells by the transient overexpression of reprogramming factors combined with tissue-specific selection. Here, we present a protocol to reprogram human hepatocytes to generate human induced tissue-specif...

Sumario:Our recent study demonstrated the generation of induced tissue-specific stem/progenitor (iTS/iTP) cells by the transient overexpression of reprogramming factors combined with tissue-specific selection. Here, we present a protocol to reprogram human hepatocytes to generate human induced tissue-specific liver stem (iTS-L) cells. Human hepatocytes are transfected with Sendai virus vectors (SeV) expressing OCT3/4, SOX2, KLF4, and c-MYC. iTS-L cells continuously express mRNA of hepatocyte-specific markers (HNF1β and HNF4α) and do not form teratomas. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Nakashima et al. (2022).(1)
