Benefits of technology

The present invention provides methods for making and using erythroid cells and enucleated erythroid cells derived from pluripotent stem cells. These methods involve differentiating pluripotent stem cells into embryoid bodies and then expanding them in the presence of growth factors to produce enucleated erythroid cells. The methods can be performed using human pluripotent stem cells and can involve the use of specific growth factors and supplements. The technical effects of this invention include the ability to produce and use various types of erythroid cells for research and therapeutic purposes.

Problems solved by technology

The Red Cross and other suppliers of blood report a near constant shortage of blood.

Materials and Methods

[0352]Generation and Expansion of Erythroid Cells from hESCs Via Hemangioblasts

[0353]Four human ESC lines were used in the current study:, H1 (National Institutes of Health registered as WA01), MA01 and MA99 (derived at Advanced Cell Technology), and HuES-3 (established by Cowan et al. (N. Engl. J. Med. 2004; 350:1353-1356) and obtained from the Harvard Stem Cell Institute). hESCs were grown on mitomycin C-treated mouse embryonic fibroblast (MEF) in complete hESC media until they reached 80% confluence. A four step procedure was used for the generation and expansion of erythroid cells from hESCs.

[0354]Step 1, EB formation and hemangioblast precursor induction (Day [−] 3.5-0): To induce hemangioblast precursor (mesoderm) formation, EBs were formed by plating one well of hESCs per EB culture well (ultra-low six-well plates, Corning) in 3-4 ml serum free Stemline media (Sigma) with BMP-4, VEGF165 (50 ng / ml each, R&D Systems) and basic FGF (20 ng / ml, Invitrogen).

Differentiation of hESCs into Red Blood Cells

[0373]Blast cells (BCs) were generated from hESCs as previously described (Lu et al., Nat. Methods 2007; 4:501-509). A four-step protocol was employed to differentiate the BCs toward the erythroid lineage, which included [1] EB formation from undifferentiated hESCs, [2] BC formation and expansion, [3] erythroid differentiation and amplification into a mass population of red blood cells and [4] enrichment of red blood cells. Early-stage EBs were generated from hESCs cultured in serum-free media supplemented with a combination of morphogens and early hematopoietic cytokines. The EBs were then dissociated and individual cells were plated in serum-free semi-solid blast-colony growth medium (BGM) for the growth and expansion of BCs. Grape-like blast colonies appeared at the beginning of 3 days, and rapidly expanded from 4 days. The BCs were then induced to proliferate and differentiate into erythrocytes by adding BGM and Epo for several days. ...

Characterization of hESC-Derived RBCs

[0374]Morphologically, the RBCs obtained using the above (19-21 day) protocol were nucleated (>95%) and substantially larger than definitive erythrocytes with an average diameter of approximately 10 μm. Giemsa-Wright staining showed an abundance of hemoglobin in the cytoplasm (FIGS. 1C and 1D). The identity of the cells was confirmed by immunological characterization (Table 1 and FIG. 1F). Over 65% of the cells expressed fetal hemoglobin (HbF), >75% were CD71 positive, and 30% of the cells expressed CD235a, whereas the majority of the cells did not express myelomonocytic or megakaryocytic antigens (All cells were negative for CD14, whereas 0.4% of cells expressed CD15; 8.6% of cells expressed CD41) and progenitor antigens (0.3% cells were positive for CD34; 10% cells expressed CD35, and 5% cells were positive for CD36) (Table 1). The inventors have previously shown that BCs express the chemokine receptor CXCR413. However, the inventors did not de...

Description

FIELD OF INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to producing human enucleated erythroid cells from pluripotent stem cells.BACKGROUND[0002]All publications herein are incorporated by reference to the same extent as if each individual publication or patent application was specifically and individually indicated to be incorporated by reference. The following description includes information that may be useful in understanding the present invention. It is not an admission that any of the information provided herein is prior art or relevant to the presently claimed invention, or that any publication specifically or implicitly referenced is prior art.[0003]There is a critical need for available blood for transfusion. The Red Cross and other suppliers of blood report a near constant shortage of blood. This is especially true for patients with unique blood types, patients who are Rh+, or following accidents or disasters resulting in mass casualties. Additionally, in times of war, the ...
