Generation of induced pluripotent stem cell-derived beta-cells in blood amino acids-like medium.

ABSTRACT: Traditional cell culture media do not accurately represent the availability of the nutrients in plasma. They usually contain a supraphysiological concentration of nutrients such as glucose, amino acids, etc. These high nutrients can alter the metabolism of cultured cells and induce metabolic phenotypes that do not reflect in vivo conditions. We demonstrate that the supraphysiological levels of nutrients interfere with endodermal differentiation. Refinement of media formulations has a potential application in maturity modulation of stem cell-derived β-cells (SC-β) generation in vitro. To address these issues, we established a defined culture system to derive SC-β-cells using a blood amino acids-like medium (BALM). Human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) can be efficiently differentiat
