Outline of Final Research Achievements

To produce allogenic ICM injected chimeric marmoset embryos, efficient processing method of ICM has been examined and contributions of the donor ICM cells into the host ICM have been observed by live cell imaging technic.
OCT4 distal enhancer is known as a marker for human naive pluripotent stem cells. Therefore marmoset ES cells with reporter gene at homologous region to human OCT4 distal enhancer in marmoset were established. Using this ES cell line, marmoset primed ES cells were converted morphologically similar to human naive pluripotent stem cells. To analyze kinetics of chimeric marmoset embryos, a pseudo post-implantation embryo culture method that allows in vitro observation of post-implantation embryo development has been developed. Finally, using allogenic ICM transplanted chimeric embryo production method, marmoset naive ES cells were injected into marmoset host embryos and kinetics of the naive ES cells in the embryo was analyzed by pseudo post-implantation embryo culture.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究を通じて、マーモセットnaive細胞の樹立、疑似着床後胚培養法、同種キメラ胚作製技術など多くの技術が開発された。これにより、非ヒト霊長類の初期発生の理解がより進むことが期待される。更にこれら研究技術を応用し、研究が発展することにより、習慣性流産や不育症などの原因究明に資すると期待される。
