| Research Abstract |
This project aims at induction of the intermediate mesoderm and metanephric mesenchyme, which contains nephron progenitors, from embryonic stem(ES) cells. We generated a knock-in mouse strain in which these two kidney precursor populations were marked with GFP. Sorted GFP-positive cells were subjected to the colony-forming assay upon Wnt4 stimulation. We revealed that embryos at E9. 5, but not at E8. 5, contained colony-forming cells. As GFP-positive cells induced from ES cells were unable to form colonies, we assume that they may correspond to the E8. 5 intermediate mesoderm. Further investigation is needed to derive nephron progenitors from ES cells.
