Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study aimed to investigate the novel iPS cells, which can produce two types of protein; the bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) to promote the bone fusion strongly, as well as the herpes simplex virus type 1- thymidine kinase (HSV-TK) to cause apoptotic cell death by ganciclovir administration. This novel iPS cell will allow spine surgeons to perform posterolateral lumbar spine fusion only with injection, instead of with current high invasive surgery. This study had started from 2014. During 2014-2016, we created the DNA vector to deliver the nucleic acids including the gene of BMP-2 and HSV-TK into nuclear of the target cells. Additionally, we confirmed the production of BMP-2 and HSV-TK from the myoblast cell of mouse, which was inrtoduced the genes. Hereafter, we are planning to introduce our vector to iPS cell, after the research to enhance the productivity of protein by the introduced cells.
