多能干细胞,如胚胎干细胞(embryonic stem cells,ESCs)、诱导多能干细胞(induced pluripotent stem cells,iPSCs)和成体干细胞(adult stem cells,ASCs),是一类具有巨大潜能的独特细胞。猪作为试验材料,在遗传、代谢、生理生化及基因序列等方面较小鼠更接近于人类,正逐渐成为人类异种移植和再生医学研究的理想生物学模型。然而,目前对猪多能干细胞种类、来源、特征及机制的有限认识直接阻碍了其相关应用。该文将分别对猪ASCs的研究现状、猪类ESCs的分离培养、猪iPSCs的研究进展、多能干细胞间的联系和展望进行论述,以期为从事该领域研究的科研人员提供参考。 相似文献

生殖健康是生命科学领域关注的核心之一,各种原因所致男性不育亟待解决,然而由于伦理限制等原因,缺少合适的具有人类遗传背景的研究模型开展研究。胚胎干细胞(ESCs)和诱导多能干细胞(iPSCs)均属于多能干细胞,具有多向分化潜能。一方面,可利用ESCs?/?iPSCs向生殖细胞分化的模型研究人类生殖细胞的发育规律,另一方面,在此基础上,可建立带有人类疾病遗传背景的iPSCs模型,体外诱导其向雄性生殖细胞分化,利用该模型研究男性不育的发病机制。由于精子在体内的形成遵循一定规律,体外环境中不同发育阶段的生殖细胞在不同诱导因子作用下才可稳定地往下一阶段定向分化,因此,诱导ESCs?/?iPSCs向雄性生殖细胞方向分化时,诱导因子的种类和加入时间的选择应根据生殖细胞的体内发育特征而定,并且在诱导的不同阶段循序加入,以此模拟精子在体内的形成过程,进而更好地研究男性不育的发病机制。本文将对多能干细胞向雄性生殖细胞定向分化的常用诱导因子及存在问题和展望进行综述,为相关研究的开展提供借鉴。 相似文献

胚胎干细胞(embryonic stem cells,ESC)在人类遗传病学研究、疾病模型建立、器官再生以及动物物种改良和定向变异等方面的地位是其他类型的细胞不可取代的。但是,由于实验技术和体外培养条件的限制,除了小鼠、恒河猴和人之外,大鼠、猪、牛、羊等其他哺乳动物的ES细胞系被证明很难获得。先后有多个研究小组报道了他们利用新兴的诱导多能干细胞(induced pluripotent stem cells,iPS细胞)技术成功建立大鼠和猪的iPS细胞系的研究成果。迄今为止,这两个物种是在未成功建立ES细胞系之前利用iPS技术建立多能干细胞系的成功范例。这些研究对于那些还未建立ES细胞的物种建立多能干细胞系提供了一种新的方案,也将给这些物种的胚胎干细胞的建立、基因修饰动物的产生以及人类医疗事业的促进和发展带来新的希望。 相似文献

Basic research on pluripotent stem cells is designed to enhance understanding of embryogenesis, whereas applied research is designed to develop novel therapies and prevent diseases. Attainment of these goals has been enhanced by the establishment of embryonic stem cell lines, the technological development of genomic reprogramming to generate induced-pluripotent stem cells, and improvements in vitro techniques to manipulate stem cells. This review summarizes the techniques required to generate neural cells from pluripotent stem cells. In particular, this review describes current research applications of a simple neural differentiation method, the neural stem sphere method, which we developed. 相似文献

Neural cells differentiated from pluripotent stem cells(PSCs), including both embryonic stem cells and induced pluripotent stem cells, provide a powerful tool for drug screening, disease modeling and regenerative medicine. High-purity oligodendrocyte progenitor cells(OPCs) and neural progenitor cells(NPCs) have been derived from PSCs recently due to the advancements in understanding the developmental signaling pathways. Extracellular matrices(ECM) have been shown to play important roles in regulating the survival, proliferation, and differentiation of neural cells. To improve the function and maturation of the derived neural cells from PSCs, understanding the effects of ECM over the course of neural differentiation of PSCs is critical. During neural differentiation of PSCs, the cells are sensitive to the properties of natural or synthetic ECMs, including biochemical composition, biomechanical properties, and structural/topographical features. This review summarizes recent advances in neural differentiation of humanPSCs into OPCs and NPCs, focusing on the role of ECM in modulating the composition and function of the differentiated cells. Especially, the importance of using three-dimensional ECM scaffolds to simulate the in vivo microenvironment for neural differentiation of PSCs is highlighted. Future perspectives including the immediate applications of PSC-derived neural cells in drug screening and disease modeling are also discussed. 相似文献

胚胎干细胞是一种能够维持自我更新、具有无限扩增能力的多能性干细胞。灵长类多能干细胞(iPSCs)根据其发育能力、细胞形态、基因表达谱以及表观遗传学的差异分为初始态多能干细胞(pPSCs)和原始态多能干细胞(nPSCs)。nPSCs因其容易进行基因工程处理以及体内外再生出功能组织器官等优势而在临床潜在应用上备受关注,因而有效维持ESCs的原始状态对其用于基础及临床研究具有重要意义。nPSCs的线粒体活性和自我更新能力高于pPSCs,且这两种多能性干细胞在DNA甲基化等方面都存在明显差别,DNA甲基化在nPSCs的转化及代谢中起到重要的作用。本文综述了DNA甲基化对ESCs的作用,特别是维持原始态的作用。 相似文献

Conventional culture systems are often limited in their ability to regulate the growth and differentiation of pluripotent stem cells. Microfluidic systems can overcome some of these limitations by providing defined growth conditions with user-controlled spatiotemporal cues. Microfluidic systems allow researchers to modulate pluripotent stem cell renewal and differentiation through biochemical and mechanical stimulation, as well as through microscale patterning and organization of cells and extracellular materials. Essentially, microfluidic tools are reducing the gap between in vitro cell culture environments and the complex and dynamic features of the in vivo stem cell niche. These microfluidic culture systems can also be integrated with microanalytical tools to assess the health and molecular status of pluripotent stem cells. The ability to control biochemical and mechanical input to cells, as well as rapidly and efficiently analyze the biological output from cells, will further our understanding of stem cells and help translate them into clinical use. This review provides a comprehensive insignt into the implications of microfluidics on pluripotent stem cell research. 相似文献
