| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Rat iPS cells (riPSCs) were purchased and propagated. GFP gene and the luciferase gene were introduced in riPSCs with the lentiviral vector. GFP-positive riPSCs were cloned by single cell sorting of GFP-positive cells using FACS. GFP-positive riPSCs were transplanted into immunodeficient mice subcutaneously, and the cellular luminescence, which was generated by degradation of luciferin catalyzed by luciferase, and reflects the cell growth, was non-invasively tracked using in vivo imaging system. Teratoma formation was confirmed 6weeks after the transplantation.
RiPSCs were cultured in a medium supplemented with several growth factors for differentiation. Quantitative real-time PCR was performed to confirm the expression of the gene markers, and the results suggested that riPSCs underwent differentiation into Mullerian lineage via intermediate mesoderm.
