Research Abstract

The experimental trial of differentiation of adipose-tissue derived stromal cells to hepatocyte by means of gene transduction was conducted. The pCMV6-HNF4a-GFP expressing GFP-tagged HNF4a and the pCMV6-HNF1b-GFP expressing GFP-tagged HNF1b was transduced to adipose tissue-derived stromal cells by electroporation method. Cells at day 15 after transduction was assessed for gene expression by real-time detective PCR. Cells transduced with pCMV6-HNF4a-GFP expressed HNF4a, however, did not express albumin. Cells transduced with pCMV6-HNF1b-GFP neither expressed HNF1b nor albumin. Improvement is required for differentiation of adipose tissue derived stromal cells by electroporation method.
