ABSTRACT: Human induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells have previously been derived from somatic cells using viral vectors that integrate transgenes into the genome. Genomic integration, however, can allow persistent leaky expression of the transgenes and can create insertional mutations, thus limiting the utility of these cells for both research and clinical applications. Here, we describe the derivation of human iPS cells free of vector and transgene sequences using non-integrating oriP/EBNA1-based episomal vectors. The resulting iPS cells are similar to human embryonic stem (ES) cells in both proliferative and developmental potential. These results demonstrate that reprogramming of human somatic cells does not require genomic integration or the continued presence of exogenous reprogramming factors, and removes one important obstacle to the clinical applications of these cells. Experiment Overall Design: Total of 5 es, 1 fibr, 11 parental clones

Project description:Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is one of the most common inherited forms of neurological disease leading to infant mortality. Patients exhibit selective loss of lower motor neurons resulting in muscle weakness, paralysis, and often death. Although patient fibroblasts have been used extensively to study SMA, motor neurons have a unique anatomy and physiology which may underlie their vulnerability to the disease process. Here we report the generation of induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells from skin fibroblast samples taken from a child with SMA. These cells expanded robustly in culture, maintained the disease genotype, and generated motor neurons that showed selective deficits compared to those derived from the childâs unaffected mother. This is the first study to show human iPS cells can be used to model the specific pathology seen in a genetically inherited disease. As such, it represents a promising resource to study disease mechanisms, screen novel drug compounds, and develop new therapies. Experiment Overall Design: A total of 10 samples were hybridized to the human genome U133 Plus 2.0 GeneChip arrays carrying 54,675 probe sets (Affimetrix). Experiment Overall Design: H1L, H7, H9, H13B, and H14A embryonic stem cells are controls for the iPS cells Experiment Overall Design: iPS(SMA) 3.5 and iPS(SMA)3.6 are from the patient. The clone iPS(SMA) 4.2. is from the parent.
Project description:Owing to the risk of insertional mutagenesis, viral transduction has been increasingly replaced by nonviral methods to generate induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells. We report the use of âminicircleâ DNA, a vector type that is free of bacterial DNA and capable of high expression in cells. Here we use a single minicircle vector to generate transgene-free iPSCs from adult human adipose stem cells. (Note: Our Nature Methods publication included analysis of array data from GSM378832 (Foreskin), GSM378833-GSM378838 (JT-iPSC), and GSM378817-GSM378820 (H1, H7, H9, H13, H14) in conjunction with this series). Total RNA from human adipose stem cells (hASC, n = 3 replicate samples), hASC-derived iPS cells using lentiviral factors (lenti-iPSC, n = 3 replicate samples), and minicircle-derived human iPS cells (mc-iPSC, n = 3 subclones from adipose tissue of three individual patients) was hybridized to nine Affymetrix GeneChip Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 Arrays.
Project description:Human artificial chromosomes (HACs) have unique characteristics as gene-delivery vector, e.g., episomal transmission and transfer of multiple, large transgenes. Here, we demonstrate the advantages of HAC vectors for reprogramming mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) to induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells. Two HAC vectors (iHAC1 and iHAC2) were constructed. Both carried four reprogramming factors, and iHAC2 also encoded a p53-knockdown construct (see Kazuki et al 2011). The iHAC1 partially reprogrammed MEFs, and the iHAC2 efficiently reprogrammed MEFs. Global gene expression showed that the iHACs, unlike other vectors, generated relatively uniform iPS cells. We established iHAC-free iPS cells by isolating cells that spontaneously lost the iHAC2. Analyses of pluripotent markers, teratomas, and chimeras confirmed that these iHAC-free iPS cells were pluripotent. Moreover, iHAC-free iPS cells with a re-introduced HAC encoding Herpes Simplex Virus Thymidine Kinase were eliminated by Ganciclovir treatment; therefore, the HAC safeguard system functioned in iPS cells. Thus, the HAC vector could generate uniform, integration-free iPS cells with a safeguard system.
Project description:Knowledge of both the global chromatin structure and the gene expression programs of human embryonic stem (ES) cells and induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells should provide a robust means to assess whether the genomes of these cells have similar pluripotent states. Recent studies have suggested that ES and iPS cells represent different pluripotent states with substantially different gene expression profiles. We describe here a comparison of global chromatin structure and gene expression data for a panel of human ES and iPS cells. Genome-wide maps of nucleosomes with histone H3K4me3 and H3K27me3 modifications indicate that there is little difference between ES and iPS cells with respect to these marks. Gene expression profiles confirm that the transcriptional programs of ES and iPS cells show very few consistent differences. Although some variation in chromatin structure and gene expression was observed in these cell lines, these variations did not serve to distinguish ES from iPS cells. Examination of gene expression in 7 human ES cell lines, 8 human iPS cell lines, and 2 fibroblast cell line2.
Project description:Three parthenogenetic induced pluripotent stem cell (PgHiPSCs) lines were generated from each of the ovarian teratoma cell lines (two distinct individuals). Two normal iPS cell lines were generated from normal fibroblasts. Three biological replicates of normal embryonic stem cells (H9, HESCs) were perfomed. We used microarrays to study the gene expression profiles of the PgHiPSCs, and compared the expression of genes to both embryonic and induced pluripotent stem cell, to identify paternally expressed genes that are down-regulated in the PgHiPSC lines. All parthenogenetic and normal iPS cell lines, were tested for pluripotency assays (inclusing, morphology, immuno stanings and qRT-PCR for known pluripotency markers, differentiation capacity in vivo and in vitro)
