| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The chemical screening were carried out for the identification of candidate drug that potentiates hepatic maturation of human iPS derived cells. We obtained the candidate reagent that increases mature hepatocyte marker, Albumin positive cells and decreases immature hepatocyte marker, AFP positive cells. This candidate drug will give us the new aspects of hepatic maturation mechanisms, based on the knowledge of its molecular targets and their down stream molecules. This candidate drug is available in clinic, so that it might be possible to utilize this candidate drug for inducing a maturation of human iPS derived hepatocytes without toxic effects of drugs.
