Expression of Pluripotency Genes in Chondrocyte-Like Cells Differentiated from Human Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells.
International Journal of Molecular Sciences 2018 Februrary 13
Human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) constitute an important breakthrough in regenerative medicine, particularly in orthopedics, where more effective treatments are urgently needed. Despite the promise of hiPSCs only limited data on in vitro chondrogenic differentiation of hiPSCs are available. Therefore, we compared the gene expression profile of pluripotent genes in hiPSC-derived chondrocytes (ChiPS) to that of an hiPSC cell line created by our group (GPCCi001-A). The results are shown on heatmaps and plots and confirmed by Reverse Transcription Quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-qPCR) analysis. Unlike the ChiPS, our GPCCi001-A cells maintained their pluripotency state during long-term culture, thus demonstrating that this cell line was comprised of stable, fully pluripotent hiPSCs. Moreover, these chondrocyte-like cells not only presented features that are characteristic of chondrocytes, but they also lost their pluripotency, which is an important advantage in favor of using this cell line in future clinical studies.
