Research Abstract |
Human dermal fibroblast-derived Muse cells, a type of pluripotent stem cells (Kuroda et al., PNAS, 2010), were infused into X-ray irradiated SICD mouse via tail vein. Six months after, cells positive for human leukocyte, lymphocytes markers were detected in theperipheral blood of the mice. In the bone marrow, GFP-labeled Muse cells were suggested to be differentiated into pre-erythroblast marker CD235a-positive cells. Pluripotent Muse cells that can be harvested from mesenchymal tissues are suggested to be applicable to bone marrow transplantation.
