[Abstract]  Pluripotent stem cells such as induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) and embryonic stem cells (ESCs) form teratomas when transplanted into immunodeficient mice. As teratomas contain all three germ layers (endoderm, mesoderm, ectoderm), teratoma formation assay is widely used as an index of pluripotency (Evans and Kaufman, 1981; Hentze et al., 2009; Gropp et al., 2012). On the other hand, teratoma-forming tumorigenicity also represents a major risk factor impeding potential clinical applications of pluripotent stem cells (Miura et al., 2009; Okano et al., 2013). Recently, we reported that iPSCs derived from naked mole-rat lack teratoma-forming tumorigenicity when engrafted into the testes of non-obese diabetic/severe combined immunodeficient (NOD/SCID) ... [摘要]  多能干细胞,如诱导多能干细胞(iPSCs)和胚胎干细胞(ESC),当移植到免疫缺陷小鼠时,形成畸胎瘤。由于畸胎瘤包含所有三个胚层(内胚层,中胚层,外胚层),畸胎瘤形成测定被广泛用作多能性的指标(Evans和Kaufman,1981; Hentze等,2009; Gropp等,2012)。另一方面,畸胎瘤形成致瘤性也是阻碍多能干细胞潜在临床应用的主要危险因素(Miura et al。,2009; Okano等,2013)。最近,我们报道了由于ES细胞表达的Ras(ERAS)和替代物,嫁接到非肥胖型糖尿病/严重联合免疫缺陷型(NOD / SCID)小鼠的睾丸中,从裸鼠睾丸衍生的iPSC缺乏畸胎瘤形成致瘤性阅读框(ARF)依赖于该物种特异性的肿瘤抑制机制(Miyawaki等,2016)。在这里,我们描述了将多能干细胞移植到NOD / SCID小鼠的睾丸中以产生用于评估多能性和致瘤性的畸胎瘤的方法。
【背景】iPSCs和ESC用于再生医学细胞移植治疗中的应用。然而,当移植到免疫缺陷小鼠中时,这些细胞形成称为含有分化组织的畸胎瘤的肿瘤。因此,其畸胎瘤形成致瘤性的风险限制了其临床应用。几项研究报道了克服畸胎瘤形成肿瘤发生风险的方法(Itakura et al。,2017; Vazquez-Martin et ...
