Development of iPS cell-derived blood products and production guidelines.
Blood products derived from iPS cells have been pursued as a blood donor-independent and genetically manipulative measure to complement or alternate current transfusion products. Erythrocytes and platelets are anucleate blood cells that are indispensable for oxygen delivery and hemostasis, respectively. Consequently, blood transfusions have been clinically established to treat severe anemia and thrombocytopenia. However, current blood products exhibit issues with regard to supply-demand imbalance and alloimmune responses and infections, and they also face a future shortage of donors in aging societies. While the production of erythrocytes from iPS cells has challenges to overcome, such as their differentiation into an adult-type phenotype and scalable production, platelet products are qualitatively and quantitatively approaching a clinically applicable level owing to advances in expandable megakaryocyte (MK) lines, platelet-producing bioreactors, and novel reagents. Currently, the establishment of guidelines that assure the quality of iPSC-derived blood products for clinical application is in progress. Considering the minimal risk of tumorigenicity and the expected significant demand of such products, the ex vivo production of iPSC-derived blood cells can be expected to lead iPSC-based regenerative medicine to become common clinical practice.
