[0146] Method for producing melanocyte populations and human skin substitutes from human pluripotent stem cells

[0147] In this report, the inventors demonstrate that iPS reprogrammed cells (hiPSCs) and hESCs are capable of generating pure and functional melanocyte populations. These cells were obtained by following a directed 2D protocol for epidermal induction of trophoblast cells in FAD medium supplemented with BMP4 and ascorbic acid. These melanocytes, derived from pluripotent stem cells, express all major markers of melanocytes, develop melanosomes and synthesize melanin that can migrate into keratinocytes.

Abstract

The invention relates to an ex vivo method for obtaining a population of human melanocytes derived from human pluripotent stem cells comprising the step consisting of co-culturing human pluripotent stem cells with cells that support ectodermal differentiation in the presence of an agent that stimulates epidermal induction and an agent that stimulates terminal differentiation of keratinocytes. The invention also relates to human melanocytes obtainable by said method and to uses thereof in cell therapy and in screening assays.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an ex vivo method for obtaining a population of human melanocytes derived from human pluripotent stem cells. Background technique [0002] Melanocytes are pigment producing cells responsible for the coloring of the skin, eyes and hair. In vertebrate development, melanocytes originate from the neural crest and ultimately reside in the epidermis after undergoing a complex process of fate specification, proliferation, migration, survival and differentiation. Pigmentation results from the highly controlled production of melanin in specialized organelles called melanosomes. Through a process called melanogenesis, melanosomes are transported along the dendrites and transported to growing hair, or to surrounding keratinocytes, where they play a role in protecting human tissue against DNA damage and tissue cancer play an important role in the harmful effects of sunlight ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Over the past 10 years, sev...
