Method of deriving progenitor cell line

a progenitor cell and stem cell technology, applied in the field of cell biology, molecular biology and genetics, can solve the problems of heterogeneous cell populations, inefficient protocols, and inability to generate other cell types that may have a deleterious effect on tissue repair and regeneration, and achieve the effect of promoting or retarding the self-renewal or differentiation of stem cells

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention provides methods for deriving and maintaining progenitor cell lines from embryonic stem cells. These methods involve selecting against somatic cells and promoting self-renewal and differentiation of the embryonic stem cells through the use of specific conditions. The resulting progenitor cell lines have reduced potential for tumorigenicity and can be used for regenerative therapy and the development of pharmaceutical compositions for the treatment of various diseases. The methods also involve exposing the embryonic stem cells to conditions that enhance differentiation to specific lineages, resulting in the formation of embryoid bodies which can be further manipulated to produce specific types of cells.

Problems solved by technology

However, this very property of embryonic stem cells also poses a unique challenge, i.e. generating the appropriate cell types for the treatment of a specific diseased or injured tissue in sufficient quantity and homogeneity to ensure therapeutic efficacy, and inhibiting the generation of other cell types that may have a deleterious effect on the tissue repair and regeneration.
At present, protocols that either enhance differentiation of embryonic stem cells towards specific lineages and / or enrich for specific tissue cell types are too inefficient and generally yield heterogeneous cell populations that might be tumorigenic (Keller, Genes Dev. 2005; 19:1129-1155; Wobus and Boheler, Physiol Rev. 2005; 85:635-678).

Methods: Derivation of E-RoSH Cell Lines

[0204]Embryonic stem cells (ESCs) are induced to differentiate to form embryoid bodies (Ebs) using the methycellulose-based approach described in Lim et al, Blood. 1997; 90:1291-1299)

[0205]Day 3 to day 6 embryoid bodies are harvested, dissociated into single cell suspensions by collagenase digestion (Robertson E J. Embryo-derived stem cell lines. In: Robertson E J, ed. Teratocarcinomas and embryonic stem cells: a practical approach. Oxford: IRL Press Limited; 1987:71-112) and plated on at a density of 1-5×105 cells per 10 cm feeder plate. After about a week, the cells proliferated and differentiated into a complex mixture of cell types.

[0206]Colonies of rapidly dividing cells resembling embryo-derived RoSH cells are picked and expanded sequentially to a 48-well plate, 24-well plate, 6-well plate and then a 10 cm plate. The culture from each colony is named E-RoSH1, 2, 3 . . . in the sequence in which each culture is established.

[0207]Each of t...

Methods: Derivation of HuES9.E Mesenchymal Stem Cell (MSC)-Like Cell Lines

[0209]HuES9 cells are cultured as previously described in Cowan et al, N Engl J Med. 2004; 350:1353-1356.

[0210]To derive HuES9.E MSC-like cells, HuES9 cells are split 1:4 onto gelatinized feeder-free plates in using HuES9 culture media. Confluent cultures are typsinized and split 1:4. Differentiation into adipocytes, and osteocytes is performed as previously described (Barberi et al, PLoS Med. 2005; 2:e161).

[0211]BM MSCs are prepared as previously described in Pittenger et al, Science. 1999; 284:143-147.

[0212]Genomic PCR for mouse- and human-specific repeat sequences are performed as previously described in Que et al, In Vitro Cell Dev Biol Anim. 2004; 40:143-149.

Methods: RT-PCR Analysis

[0213]Total RNA is prepared using standard protocols and are quantified using, respectively, the RiboGreen RNA Quantification kit and the PicoGreen dsDNA Quantification kit (Molecular Probes, Eugene, Oreg.).

[0214]Quantitative RT-PCR is performed using TaqMan® primers (Applied Biosystems, Foster City, Calif.).

Abstract

We disclose a method comprising: (a) providing an embryonic stem (ES) cell; and (b) establishing a progenitor cell line from the embryonic stem cell; in which the progenitor cell line is selected based on its ability to self-renew. Preferably, the method selects against somatic cells based on their inability to self-renew. Preferably, the progenitor cell line is derived or established in the absence of co-culture, preferably in the absence of feeder cells, which preferably selects against embryonic stem cells. Optionally, the method comprises (d) deriving a differentiated cell from the progenitor cell line.
