| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
L-asparaginase-associated pancreatitis is occasionally life-limiting, thus cell-based assay may be helpful to understand the mechanism of the important problem. Currently, we established efficient differentiation methods for pancreatic exocrine acinar cells from human iPSCs by identifying a small molecule. The induced exocrine acinar cells showed the synthesis and release of functional alpha-amylase protein, and contributed morphogenesis of acinar structure formation. Furthermore, we established in vitro disease models by applying iPSCs derived from the patient with Shwachman-Diamond syndrome, a congenital disorder characterized by exocrine insufficiency.
