| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Human induced pluripotent stem （hiPS）cells are an ideal resource for the cell based therapy. In this sense, the beta cell production by hiPS cells is a prominent therapeutic method to replenish the beta cells that are destroyed in type I diabetes. However, the efficiency and the quality of the beta cells produced from hiPS cells are not sufficient for cell therapy. The aim of this study is to improve the pancreatic beta cell differentiation from hiPS cells by screening with the chemical library. We found that the FGFR1 specific inhibitor C8 augmented the beta cell differentiation by improving the glucose responsivity and expression of the mRNA genes related to insulin releasing procedure, such as GCK, SlC30A8 and GLP1R.
