Research Abstract |
Normal rat’s and Eker (Tsc2+/-) rat’s ESCs were established. Oct4, Sox2, Nanog were expressed in these ERCs. We injected ESCs under the kidney capsule of nude mice. Tsc2-/-teratomas were capable to differentiate into various cell types derived from three germ layers. However, they showed abnormal epithelial structures, resemble to RCC tissues in Eker rats. We suggest that tissue specific abnormal cellular differentiation caused by Tsc2-deficiency was recaptured by teratoma formation
