| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The amnion stem cells from the placenta have been reported to have not only the pluripotent characteristics similar to ES cells, but also the liver differentiation tendency. We evaluated the characteristics of the amnion stem cells and created the placenta-derived somatic stem cell bank using the specimen of Tsukuba University Hospital. As a result, we succeeded in establishing the cell bank with 54 patients till now, and confirmed the new features of amnion stem cells, that the hepatic related gene expression increased when incubated on the special 3D system. In addition, adding other kinds of placenta-derived somatic stem cells resulted in the further manifestation of the features of hepatic organoids. In conclusion, the utilization of placenta somatic stem cells with their differentiation method optimized, have possibility of the clinical application toward hepatic diseases.
