Research Abstract |
We have succeeded to reconstitute the renal structure from renal stem/ progenitor cells in Vitro. However, it is unknown whether the gene expression in kidney-like structure from renal stem/progenitor cells, in embryonic kidney and in adult kidney is close or not. Here we performed to elucidate the concordance rate between the gene expression in kidney-like structure and the gene expression in embryonic kidney and adult kidney by DNA analysis. The gene expression of kidney-like structure was very close to the embryonic kidney, and was on the time course of kidney development. However, it should be analyze more detail.
