The invention provides a serum-free culture method for converting hUC-MSCs into hiPSCs through induction of a
small molecule compound, can be used for preparing pluripotent stem cells, and belongs to the field of
biomedicine. Comprising
thymine analogs, cAMP activators, TGF-beta
receptor inhibitors, bone morphogenetic proteins, RA
receptor activators, GSK3 inhibitors and basic
fibroblast growth factors, and the culture
system does not contain serum. And 2, in the process of carrying out micromolecule compound
reprogramming on the hUC-MSCs by utilizing the method provided by the invention, frequent
digestion,
inoculation and tray separation on the hUC-MSCs are not needed, so that compared with the existing culture method, the operation steps are simplified, the
cell loss generated in the
digestion,
inoculation and tray
separation process is reduced, and the
cell quality is improved. According to the invention, the
reprogramming efficiency of the
small molecule compound on hUC-MSCs is obviously improved; and 3, by detecting the co-expression (such as OCT4, SOX2 and NANOG) of transcription factors in reprogrammed cells of a
small molecule compound reprogrammed pluripotent
stem cell line obtained by the technology, it is proved that the hiPSCs obtained by inducing the hUC-MSCs have stable pluripotency capable of continuous passage.
