Outline of Final Research Achievements

iPS (induced pluripotent stem) cells have been reported to show difference in differentiation tropic among iPS cell lines, and it is considered that identification of factors that regulate differentiation tropism is important. This study aims to develop early identification system of hepatic differentiation tropic iPS cells through analysis of glycosylation during hepatic differentiation of human iPS cells.
As a result of analyzing glycosylation during hepatic differentiation of hepatic differentiation tropic iPSCs and hepatic differentiation defective iPSCs, more high-mannose glycans were contained in the differentiation tropic cells before inducing differentiation. During hepatic differentiation of hiPSCs, sialic acid and galactose were increased, and differentiation tropic cells showed prominent increment of both both modifications. These glycosylation may be involved in hepatic differentiation tropism.
