Research Abstract

To clarify the mechanism causing hematological disorders in DS, we employed induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells derived from patients with DS and control iPS cells from healthy donor reprogrammed by the defined 3 or 4 factors (OCT3/4, KLF4, and SOX2, or c-MYC in addition to 3 factors). We generated blood cells from DS and control iPS cells cocultured with murine aorta-gonad-mesonephros-derived stromal cell line. The harvested cells were analyzed for the presence of hematopoietic markers and the potentials of hematopoietic colony formation. Our results indicated that DS iPS cells could differentiate into various hematopoietic lineages and the differentiation into hematopoietic lineages was promoted in DS. To identify the responsible genes for the acceleration of hematopoiesis in DS iPS cells, we carried out microarray analysis of hematopoietic cells derived from DS or control iPS cells. We then detected the high expression of 18 genes on chromosome 21 including RUNX1.
