Differentiation of pluripotent embryonic stem cells into cardiomyocytes.
Embryonic stem (ES) cells have been established as permanent lines of undifferentiated pluripotent cells from early mouse embryos. ES cells provide a unique system for the genetic manipulation and the creation of knockout strains of mice through gene targeting. By cultivation in vitro as 3D aggregates called embryoid bodies,ES cells can differentiate into derivatives of all 3 primary germ layers,including cardiomyocytes. Protocols for the in vitro differentiation of ES cells into cardiomyocytes representing all specialized cell types of the heart,such as atrial-like,ventricular-like,sinus nodal-like,and Purkinje-like cells,have been established. During differentiation,cardiac-specific genes as well as proteins,receptors,and ion channels are expressed in a developmental continuum,which closely recapitulates the developmental pattern of early cardiogenesis. Exploitation of ES cell-derived cardiomyocytes has facilitated the analysis of early cardiac development and has permitted in vitro gain-of-function" or "loss-of-function" genetic studies. Recently�

Conversion of human fibroblasts to angioblast-like progenitor cells.
Lineage conversion of one somatic cell type to another is an attractive approach for generating specific human cell types. Lineage conversion can be direct,in the absence of proliferation and multipotent progenitor generation,or indirect,by the generation of expandable multipotent progenitor states. We report the development of a reprogramming methodology in which cells transition through a plastic intermediate state,induced by brief exposure to reprogramming factors,followed by differentiation. We use this approach to convert human fibroblasts to mesodermal progenitor cells,including by non-integrative approaches. These progenitor cells demonstrated bipotent differentiation potential and could generate endothelial and smooth muscle lineages. Differentiated endothelial cells exhibited neo-angiogenesis and anastomosis in vivo. This methodology for indirect lineage conversion to angioblast-like cells adds to the armamentarium of reprogramming approaches aimed at the study and treatment of ischemic pathologies.

Chemical ablation of tumor-initiating human pluripotent stem cells.
The tumorigenicity of human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) is widely acknowledged as a major obstacle that withholds their application in regenerative medicine. This protocol describes two efficient and robust ways to chemically eliminate the tumor-initiating hPSCs from monolayer culture. The protocol details how to maintain and differentiate hPSCs,how to apply chemical inhibitors to cultures of hPSCs and their differentiated progeny,and how to assess the purity of the resultant cell cultures using in vitro and in vivo assays. It also describes how to rescue the cytotoxic effect. The elimination and the rescue assay can be completed within 3-5 d,the in vitro assessment requires another day,and the in vivo assessment requires up to 12 additional weeks.

Notch inhibition allows oncogene-independent generation of iPS cells.
The reprogramming of somatic cells to pluripotency using defined transcription factors holds great promise for biomedicine. However,human reprogramming remains inefficient and relies either on the use of the potentially dangerous oncogenes KLF4 and CMYC or the genetic inhibition of the tumor suppressor gene p53. We hypothesized that inhibition of signal transduction pathways that promote differentiation of the target somatic cells during development might relieve the requirement for non-core pluripotency factors during induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) reprogramming. Here,we show that inhibition of Notch greatly improves the efficiency of iPSC generation from mouse and human keratinocytes by suppressing p21 in a p53-independent manner and thereby enriching for undifferentiated cells capable of long-term self-renewal. Pharmacological inhibition of Notch enabled routine production of human iPSCs without KLF4 and CMYC while leaving p53 activity intact. Thus,restricting the development of somatic cells by altering intercellular communication enables the production of safer human iPSCs.

Feeder-Free Derivation of Naïve Human Pluripotent Stem Cells.
Human pluripotent stem cells (HPSCs) cultured in conditions that maintain pluripotency via FGF and TGFβ signaling have been described as being in a primed state. These cells have been shown to exhibit characteristics more closely related to mouse epiblast-derived stem cells than to so called naïve mouse PSCs said to possess a more ground state pluripotency that mimics the early mouse embryo inner cell mass. Initial attempts to create culture conditions favorable for generation of naïve HPSCs from primed HPSCs has required the use of mouse embryonic fibroblasts as a feeder layer to support this transition. A protocol for the routine derivation and maintenance of naïve HPSCs in completely defined conditions is highly desirable for stem cell researchers to enhance the study and clinical translation of naïve HPSCs. Here we describe a standard protocol for transitioning primed HPSCs to a naïve state using commercial RSet media and xeno-free recombinant vitronectin.

Efficient generation of nonhuman primate induced pluripotent stem cells.
Induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells have great potential for regenerative medicine and gene therapy. Thus far,iPS cells have typically been generated using integrating viral vectors expressing various reprogramming transcription factors; nonintegrating methods have been less effective and efficient. Because there is a significant risk of malignant transformation and cancer involved with the use of iPS cells,careful evaluation of transplanted iPS cells will be necessary in small and large animal studies before clinical application. Here,we have generated and characterized nonhuman primate iPS cells with the goal of evaluating iPS cell transplantation in a clinically relevant large animal model. We developed stable Phoenix-RD114-based packaging cell lines that produce OCT4,SOX2,c-MYC,and KLF4 (OSCK) expressing gammaretroviral vectors. Using these vectors in combination with small molecules,we were able to efficiently and reproducibly generate nonhuman primate iPS cells from pigtailed macaques (Macaca nemestrina). The established nonhuman primate iPS cells exhibited pluripotency and extensive self-renewal capacity. The facile and reproducible generation of nonhuman primate iPS cells using defined producer cells as a source of individual reprogramming factors should provide an important resource to optimize and evaluate iPS cell technology for studies involving stem cell biology and regenerative medicine.

CRISPR/Cas9 $\beta$-globin gene targeting in human haematopoietic stem cells.
The $\beta$-haemoglobinopathies,such as sickle cell disease and $\beta$-thalassaemia,are caused by mutations in the $\beta$-globin (HBB) gene and affect millions of people worldwide. Ex vivo gene correction in patient-derived haematopoietic stem cells followed by autologous transplantation could be used to cure $\beta$-haemoglobinopathies. Here we present a CRISPR/Cas9 gene-editing system that combines Cas9 ribonucleoproteins and adeno-associated viral vector delivery of a homologous donor to achieve homologous recombination at the HBB gene in haematopoietic stem cells. Notably,we devise an enrichment model to purify a population of haematopoietic stem and progenitor cells with more than 90{\%} targeted integration. We also show efficient correction of the Glu6Val mutation responsible for sickle cell disease by using patient-derived stem and progenitor cells that,after differentiation into erythrocytes,express adult $\beta$-globin (HbA) messenger RNA,which confirms intact transcriptional regulation of edited HBB alleles. Collectively,these preclinical studies outline a CRISPR-based methodology for targeting haematopoietic stem cells by homologous recombination at the HBB locus to advance the development of next-generation therapies for $\beta$-haemoglobinopathies.

Non-integrating episomal plasmid-based reprogramming of human amniotic fluid stem cells into induced pluripotent stem cells in chemically defined conditions.
Amniotic fluid stem cells (AFSC) represent an attractive potential cell source for fetal and pediatric cell-based therapies. However,upgrading them to pluripotency confers refractoriness toward senescence,higher proliferation rate and unlimited differentiation potential. AFSC were observed to rapidly and efficiently reacquire pluripotency which together with their easy recovery makes them an attractive cell source for reprogramming. The reprogramming process as well as the resulting iPSC epigenome could potentially benefit from the unspecialized nature of AFSC. iPSC derived from AFSC also have potential in disease modeling,such as Down syndrome or $\$-thalassemia. Previous experiments involving AFSC reprogramming have largely relied on integrative vector transgene delivery and undefined serum-containing,feeder-dependent culture. Here,we describe non-integrative oriP/EBNA-1 episomal plasmid-based reprogramming of AFSC into iPSC and culture in fully chemically defined xeno-free conditions represented by vitronectin coating and E8 medium,a system that we found uniquely suited for this purpose. The derived AF-iPSC lines uniformly expressed a set of pluripotency markers Oct3/4,Nanog,Sox2,SSEA-1,SSEA-4,TRA-1-60,TRA-1-81 in a pattern typical for human primed PSC. Additionally,the cells formed teratomas,and were deemed pluripotent by PluriTest,a global expression microarray-based in-silico pluripotency assay. However,we found that the PluriTest scores were borderline,indicating a unique pluripotent signature in the defined condition. In the light of potential future clinical translation of iPSC technology,non-integrating reprogramming and chemically defined culture are more acceptable.

Membrane properties of rat embryonic multipotent neural stem cells.
We have characterized several potential stem cell markers and defined the membrane properties of rat fetal (E10.5) neural stem cells (NSC) by immunocytochemistry,electrophysiology and microarray analysis. Immunocytochemical analysis demonstrates specificity of expression of Sox1,ABCG2/Bcrp1,and shows that nucleostemin labels both progenitor and stem cell populations. NSCs,like hematopoietic stem cells,express high levels of aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) as assessed by Aldefluor labeling. Microarray analysis of 96 transporters and channels showed that Glucose transporter 1 (Glut1/Slc2a1) expression is unique to fetal NSCs or other differentiated cells. Electrophysiological examination showed that fetal NSCs respond to acetylcholine and its agonists,such as nicotine and muscarine. NSCs express low levels of tetrodotoxin (TTX) sensitive and insensitive sodium channels and calcium channels while expressing at least three kinds of potassium channels. We find that gap junction communication is mediated by connexin (Cx)43 and Cx45,and is essential for NSC survival and proliferation. Overall,our results show that fetal NSCs exhibit a unique signature that can be used to determine their location and assess their ability to respond to their environment.

Isolation of bone marrow-derived stem cells using density-gradient separation.
OBJECTIVE: Our laboratory has established two unique methods to isolate murine hematopoietic stem cells on the basis of functional characteristics such as the ability of stem cells to home to bone marrow and aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) activity. An essential component of both protocols is the separation of whole bone marrow into small-sized cells by counter-flow elutriation. We sought to provide the scientific community with an alternate approach to acquire our stem cells by replacing elutriation with the use of density-gradient centrifugation. METHODS: The elutriated fraction 25 population was characterized based on density using a discontinuous gradient. The long-term reconstituting potential of whole bone marrow cells collected at each density interface was determined by subjecting the fractions to the two-day homing protocol,transplanting them into lethally irradiated recipient mice,and assessing peripheral blood chimerism. We also investigated the ability of high-density bone marrow cells isolated in conjunction with the ALDH protocol to repopulate the hematopoietic system of myeloablated recipients. RESULTS: Bone marrow cells collected at the high-density interface of 1.081/1.087 g/mL (fraction 3) had the capacity for homing to marrow and the ability to provide long-term hematopoietic reconstitution. Fraction three lineage-depleted ALDH-bright cells could also engraft and provide long-term hematopoiesis at limiting dilutions. CONCLUSIONS: Density-gradient centrifugation can be used in conjunction with either of our stem cell isolation protocols to obtain cells with long-term reconstitution ability. We anticipate that this strategy will encourage and enable investigators to study the biology of HSCs isolated using functional characteristics.
