Outline of Final Research Achievements

We could not perform satisfied research because of we were damaged our freezer of -80℃. We lost all tissues, cells, and reagents due to this accident. However, we found that the induction of iPS cells derived from micro-minipigs are very difficult more than iPS cells of mouse and human. In future, we think that it is necessary to perform the induction of iPS cells derived from micro-minipigs. In present, we collect new testis tissues derived from patients with male infertility. We consider the restart of our research in future.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

研究に用いる大半の組織をアクシデントにより失ったため、満足する研究は施行できなかった。しかし、マイクロミニピッグでのiPS細胞は、マウスやヒトに比べて難易度が高いことが分かった。マイクロミニピッグの研究は、ヒト生殖細胞の代替え研究としては重要な位置を占めていると考えている。今後は、マイクロミニピッグのiPS細胞の誘導をテーマとした研究も必須と思われる。また、現在、新たに男性不妊症患者における精巣組織を採取しており、集まったところで、研究の再開を予定したいと考えている。
