地中海贫血“integration-free”诱导多能干细胞的建立及造血分化的研究

目的:建立无外源基因整合(integration-free)的地中海贫血患者特异诱导多能干细胞(induced pluripotent stem cells,i PSC),并研究其向造血前体细胞分化的可能性。方法:用核转染的方法将表达Oct4、Sox2、Klf4、c-Myc和Lin28转录因子的质粒p EB-C5以及表达SV40大T抗原的质粒p EB-Tg导入引产巴氏水肿胎皮肤成纤维细胞中,将其重编程为i PSC后检测其向3个胚层细胞分化的特性。将i PSC细胞与小鼠OP9细胞共培养向造血前体细胞诱导分化,检测造血前体细胞特异性抗原。结果:成功建立了巴氏水肿胎皮肤成纤维细胞来源的α地中海贫血患者特异i PSC系,其具有向3个胚层分化的能力,与OP9细胞共培养9 d后可检测到造血前体细胞标记CD34的阳性率为18.7%,CD34和CD45双阳性为12.2%。结论:巴氏水肿胎皮肤成纤维细胞可成功诱导成"integration-free"i PSC,该细胞系具有向3个胚层分化的能力,与OP9共培养可向造血前体细胞分化。

Generation of thalassemia-specific integration-free induced pluripotent stem cells and determination of their differentiation ability

AIM: To generate thalassemia-specific integration-free induced pluripotent stem cells(iPSC) and to detect their ability of differentiation into hematopoietic precursors.METHODS: The plasmids pEB-C5 and pEB-Tg were transfected into the fibroblast cells from hemoglobin Bart's hydrops fetalis's skin by the method of nuclear transfection to reprogramm the cells into iPSC. The ability of the iPSC to differentiate into 3-germ layer cells was determined. The iPSC were cocultured with mouse OP9 cells to differentiate into hematopoietic precursors and the hematopoietic precursor specific antigens were detected. RESULTS: The integration-free iPSC from hemoglobin Bart's hydrops fetalis's skin fibroblasts were successfully derived, and had the ability to differentiate into 3 germ layers. When cocultured with OP9 cells for 9 d, the positive rate of hematopoietic progenitor cell marker CD34 was 18.7%, and the CD34 and CD45 double positive rate was 12.2%. CONCLUSION: Hemoglobin Bart's hydrops fetalis's skin fibroblasts can be successfully induced into "integration-free" iPSC. This cell line has the ability to differentiate into 3 germ layers, and can be differentiated into hematopoietic precursors when cocultured with OP9 cells.
