Research Abstract

Such human somatic cells as fibroblasts, umbirical vein endothelial cells, astrocytes, and hepatocytes were immortalized by an introduction with human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) gene. Only an exception was osteoblast which could not be extended proliferative lifespan at all by hTERT introduction. All hTERT-introduced immortal cells showed normal phenotypes. Immortalized hepatocytes expressed bile duct specific markers in addition to hepatocyte specific markers, suggesting characteristics of stem cells which are able to differentiate into both hepatocytes and bile duct cells.
