Project description:In regenerative medicine, histocompatibility of pluripotent stem cells is required to solve the problem of immunorejection after therapeutic transplantation. In this study, we show that autologous germline stem cells (GSCs), often called spermatogonial stem cells, could be derived by testis biopsy from individual mice and that GSCs subsequently could be dedifferentiated into autologous germline-derived pluripotent stem (gPS) cells. The establishment of GSCs by testicular biopsy in the mouse model can prove the principle of human clinical application to derive autologous GSCs to generate patient-specific pluripotent cells for regenerative medicine. For transcriptome profiling, 400 ng of total DNA-free RNA was used as input for labelled cRNA synthesis (Illumina TotalPrep RNA Amplification Kit - Ambion) following the manufacturer's instructions (IVT: 12h). Quality-checked cRNA samples were hybridized as biological or technical duplicates for 18 h onto mouse-8 v2 expression BeadChips (Illumina), washed, stained, and scanned following guidelines and using materials / instrumentation supplied / suggested by the manufacturer 13 samples were analyzed, GSC1: Mouse Germ Stem Cells OG2, line 1 (1 replicate); GSC2: Mouse Germ Stem Cells OG2, line 2 (1 replicate); GSC3: Mouse Germ Stem Cells OG2, line 3 (1 replicate); GSCr1: Mouse Germ Stem Cells OG2-ROSA, line 1 (1 replicate); GSCr2: Mouse Germ Stem Cells OG2-ROSA, line 2 (2 replicate); GSCr3: Mouse Germ Stem Cells OG2-ROSA, line 3 (1 replicate); ESC: Mouse Embryonic Stem Cells (duplicate) gPS1: Mouse clonal germ Pluripotent Stem cells from OG2, line 1, (1 replicate); gPS2: Mouse clonal germ Pluripotent Stem cells from OG2, line 2, (1 replicate); gPS3: Mouse clonal germ Pluripotent Stem cells from OG2, line 3, (1 replicate); gPSr1: Mouse clonal germ Pluripotent Stem cells from OG2-ROSA, line 1, (1 replicate); gPSr2: Mouse clonal germ Pluripotent Stem cells from OG2-ROSA, line 2, (1 replicate); gPSr3: Mouse clonal germ Pluripotent Stem cells from OG2-ROSA, line 3, (1 replicate).

Project description:Mouse and human stem cells with features similar to those of embryonic stem cells have been derived from testicular cells. Although pluripotent stem cells have been obtained from defined germline stem cells (GSCs) of mouse neonatal testis, only multipotent stem cells have been obtained so far from defined cells of mouse adult testis. In this study we describe a robust and reproducible protocol for obtaining germline-derived pluripotent stem (gPS) cells from adult unipotent GSCs. Pluripotency of gPS cells was confirmed by in vitro and in vivo differentiation, including germ cell contribution and transmission. As determined by clonal analyses gPS cells indeed originate from unipotent GSCs. We propose that the conversion process requires a GSC culture microenvironment that depends on the initial number of plated GSCs and the length of culture time. Nine samples were analyzed. GSC1: Mouse Germ Stem Cells, line 1 (1 replicate), GSC2: Mouse Germ Stem Cells, line 2 (1 replicate), GSC3: Mouse Germ Stem Cells, line 3 (1 replicate), GSC4: Mouse Germ Stem Cells, line 4 (1 replicate) gPS1: Mouse clonal germ Pluripotent Stem cells, line 1, GFP-sorted (1 replicate), gPS2: Mouse clonal germ Pluripotent Stem cells, line 2, GFP-sorted (1 replicate), gPS3: Mouse clonal germ Pluripotent Stem cells, line 3, GFP-sorted (1 replicate) ESC: Mouse Embryonic Stem Cells (duplicate)

Project description:Human induced pluripotent stem cells (hIPSCs) represent a unique opportunity for regenerative medicine since they offer the prospect of generating unlimited quantities of cells for autologous transplantation as a novel treatment for a broad range of disorders. It is now known that primary iPS cells often carry genomic aberrations and these abnormality may compromise their possibility of clinical application. We analysed primary hIPSC lines derived from monoclonal human endothelial progenitor cell lines by array-based comparative genomic hybridisation.

Project description:Somatic cells can be reprogrammed to pluripotency using different methods. In comparison to pluripotent cells obtained through somatic nuclear transfer, induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) exhibit a higher number of epigenetic errors. Furthermore, most of these abnormalities have been described to be intrinsic to the iPSC technology. Here we investigate whether the aberrant epigenetic patterns detected in iPSCs are specific to transcription factor-mediated reprogramming. We used germline stem cells (GSCs), which are the only adult cell type that can be converted into pluripotent cells (gPSCs) under specific culture conditions, and compared GSC-derived iPSCs and gPSCs at the transcriptomic, epigenetic and functional level. Our results show that both reprogramming methods generate indistinguishable states of pluripotency. GSC-derived iPSCs and gPSCs retained similar levels of donor cell-type memory and exhibited comparable numbers of reprogramming errors. Therefore, our study demonstrates that the epigenetic memory detected in iPSCs is not intrinsic to transcription-factor mediated reprogramming. Total RNA from 12 different in vitro mouse cell lines, 2 technical replicates per sample: germline stem cells (GSCs, 2 independent cell lines), GSC-derived induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs, 4 independent cell lines), germline-derived pluripotent stem cells (gPSCs, 4 independent cell lines), embryonic stem cells (ESCs), fibroblast-derived induced pluripotent stem cells (Fib-iPSCs)

Project description:Although reported more than once, the generation of pluripotent stem cell populations from human testis remains questionable. We recently showed that the so - called human adult germline stem cells (haGSCs), which were claimed to be pluripotent, showed a gene expression profile comparable to human fibroblasts, suggesting that these cells are originated from a fibroblastic cells. We could derive human testicular fibroblast cells (hTFCs) from several routine testicular biopsies, naming them human testicular fibroblastic cells (hTFCs). The true conversion of unipotent mouse GSCs, also known as spermatogonial stem cells into pluripotent stem cells was recently shown. However, this conversion was not observed for human cells so far. We suggest that hTFCs isolated from routine biopsies can help in the understanding, modeling and also regenerative medicine for various diseases after reprogramming them to human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPS). We successfully reprogrammed hTFCs into human iPS cells by transducing them retrovirally with reprogramming factors as already demonstrated for human dermal fibroblasts. These hTFCs derived iPS cells are comparable with human embryonic stem cells from global gene expression, promoter methylation, and they show pluripotency judged by in vitro and in vivo differentiation.

Project description:Human induced pluripotent stem cells (hIPSCs) represent a unique opportunity for regenerative medicine since they offer the prospect of generating unlimited quantities of cells for autologous transplantation as a novel treatment for a broad range of disorders. However, the use of hIPSCs in the context of genetically inherited human disease will require correction of disease-causing mutations in a manner that is fully compatible with clinical applications. Genomic instability induced by reprogramming or genetic modification would be a main issue for the safe use of these cells. We analyzed primary hIPSC lines and genetically modified derivatives by array-based comparative genomic hybridization.

Project description:Human induced pluripotent stem (hiPS) cells hold great promise for regenerative medicine. Safety issues of use of hiPS cells however remain to be addressed. One of such issues is mutations derived from somatic donor cells and introduced during genome manipulation. We sequence whole genomes of hiPS cells and analyzed mutations. Our study brings hiPS cell technology one step closer to application to regenerative medicine.
