We describe a protocol for deriving lentiviral-based reprogrammed and characterized factor-free human induced pluripotent stem cells and conversion into putative clinical-grade conditions.
Anthropiques cellules souches pluripotentes (de hiPSCs) peuvent être générés avec des méthodologies de reprogrammation base lentivirus. Toutefois, des traces de gènes potentiellement oncogènes restants dans les régions activement transcrits du génome, limitent leur potentiel pour une utilisation dans des applications thérapeutiques humaines 1. En outre, les antigènes non-humains issus de la reprogrammation de cellules souches ou la différenciation en dérivés thérapeutiques pertinentes empêchent ces hiPSCs d'être utilisé dans un contexte clinique humain 2. Dans cette vidéo, nous vous présentons une procédure pour reprogrammer et analyser hiPSCs gratuitement facteur-libres de transgènes exogènes. Ces hiPSCs peuvent ensuite être analysés pour des anomalies d'expression génique spécifique dans l'intron contenant le lentivirus. Cette analyse peut être effectuée en utilisant sensible réaction en chaîne par polymérase quantitative (PCR), qui a un avantage sur les techniques moins sensibles précédemment utilisé pour détecter l'expression du gène 3 différences. La conversion totale ende qualité clinique bonnes pratiques de fabrication (BPF) des conditions, permet pertinence clinique humaine. Notre protocole offre une autre méthode-à condition que les critères actuels exemptées seront étendre et inclure caractérisés dérivés de libre-facteur-base-hiPSC pour des applications à des fins thérapeutiques humains découlant hiPSCs de qualité GMP, ce qui devrait éliminer tout risque d'immunogénicité due à des antigènes non-humains. Ce protocole est largement applicable aux cellules reprogrammées lentiviraux de tout type et fournit une méthode reproductible pour convertir cellules reprogrammées dans des conditions de qualité GMP.
Adult human cells have been shown to be capable of undergoing epigenetic remodeling and reprogramming, as a result of lentiviral-based expression of four key transcription factors4,5. An important advancement in the reprogramming field was the use of a single excisable lentiviral stem cell cassette (STEMCCA), which housed all four reprogramming transcription factors that allowed a precise stoichiometric ratio of protein expression6. Additionally, when transduced in specific multiplicity of infection ranges, STEMCCA can lead to predominantly single genomic integration events during the reprogramming process7. The introduction of an excisable version of STEMCCA, which utilizes Cre/loxP technology followed by excision of the reprogramming vector after derivation of the stem cell line, enabled factor-free human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC) lines to be derived8. Additionally, in order to enhance therapeutic applications of hiPSCs, a novel, quick, and readily applicable methodology for good manufacturing practice (GMP)-grade cell line conversion, from xeno-containing to xeno-free conditions, needed to be implemented. Here, we discuss a relevant methodology that more precisely assesses integrated gene expression differences, specifically when integrated into an intron, and clinical-grade cell conversion into putative GMP conditions.
Previous research has used only relatively insensitive microarray transcriptional analysis to analyze gene expression differences in integrated genes after STEMCCA transduction3,9. Here, we introduce the methodology of sensitive quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis, to further examine integrated gene expression differences. Importantly, current safe-harbor criteria discard hiPSCs that have genes with viral integrations, thus limiting the applicability of these cells for downstream human cellular therapeutics9. We propose that the status quo may change with the use of fully characterized and transgene-free intronically reprogrammed hiPSCs. Additionally, we introduce a robust GMP-grade cell conversion protocol that can be readily applied to a variety of different cell types, which were originally derived under xeno-containing conditions10. This provides significant opportunities for the development of future cell reprogramming experiments, which require clinical-grade conditions to maintain human therapeutic relevance.
These methodologies provide a foundation upon which current safe-harbor criteria may be expanded to include characterized STEMCCA reprogrammed hiPSC lines that maintain a normal gene expression profile after STEMCCA excision from the integrated intron. Also, full conversion into clinical-grade conditions, free from non-human animal antigens, will help to incorporate many more cell types, which have previously been reprogrammed and characterized only in xeno-containing conditions. These methodologies combined, are persuasive grounds for the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to consider expanding their limited approval from human embryonic stem cell (ESC)-based therapeutics to hiPSC-based therapeutics11.
We recently detailed the derivation of a factor-free hiPSC line that was fully characterized and converted into putative clinical-grade conditions10. Here, we detail the protocol for hiPSC derivation by utilizing the STEMCCA lentivirus. These stem cells then undergo an excision process followed by gene expression characterization. Finally, the hiPSCs are converted over into GMP-grade conditions by a slow conversion methodology.
