PROCESS FOR ENHANCING THE EFFICIENCY OF FORMING MULTIPOTENT STEM CELL COLONIES INSPECTED FROM HUMAN PERIPHERAL BLOOD CELLS

Abstract

This useful solution, in the field of biotechnology and regenerative medicine, relates to a process for enhancing the efficiency of induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) colony formation from human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). The solution aims to overcome the low reprogramming efficiency, unstable colony formation, and limited iPSC cloning rates commonly encountered in PBMC iPSC generation processes. The technical essence of the solution lies in the synchronized optimization of the reprogramming process, including pre-activating PBMCs with an appropriate cytokine combination at predetermined times before reprogramming, using a non-integrated Sendai virus system under optimized transformation conditions, switching culture media at defined intervals to promote cell state transitions, and applying a selection, enrichment, and stabilization process for iPSC cloning in the initial passages after colony formation.The process also incorporates cell line quality control steps through assessment of residual Sendai virus RNA removal and mycoplasma contamination testing during line maintenance. Experimental results show that the proposed process increases the number of iPSC colonies formed, improves the rate of establishing stable iPSC lines, and enhances cell homogeneity and pluripotency maintenance. The solution can be applied in basic research, pathogenesis modeling, drug screening, regenerative medicine, and studies using induced pluripotent stem cells derived from human peripheral blood cells.
