| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
To develop a new method of functional evaluation of pluripotent stem cell-derived islet, we have recorded the electrical activity of the cells using planar, extracellular electrodes arranged in a microelectrode array (MEA). Although isolated-mouse islet cells poorly adhered on MEA, the cells adhered well on the laminin-332-coated MEA. We succeeded in recording of the electrical activity of islet cells in response to glucose stimulation. We also recorded the activity of human iPS cell-derived islet cells. However, the electrical signal was very low and noisy. It might be caused by insufficient maturation and heterogeneity of the differentiated cells. As a solution, we newly developed a culture method for expansion and purification of pancreatic cells derived from human iPS cells.
