- the number of starting cells was examined, and in the KhES1 strain, 1 ⁇ 10 5 per CS.
- the largest production of KDR-positive CD34-positive HPC was observed with a single cell count (FIG. 3b-d), but these results differed between cell lines (FIG. 3b-d and hp).
- Example 4 Observation by scanning microscope and immunostaining method
- the method of Examples 2 and 3 was used to measure small cells and single cells, respectively.
- the hematopoietic cells induced to differentiate were observed with a scanning microscope. Briefly, CS before seeding cells, CS after differentiating PSC nodules for 41 days, CS after differentiating single PSCs for 21 days, After differentiating PSC nodules for 41 days CS, and CS after differentiating single PSC for 21 days, were fixed overnight at 4 ° C. with 4% paraformaldehyde and 2% glutaraldehyde.
- Example 5 Large-scale induction of hematopoietic cells
- PSC KhES1 nodules were induced to differentiate on multiple CSs by the method of Example 2, and on the 18th day of differentiation, 50 mL containing 25 mL medium containing myeloid cytokine cocktail. Twelve CSs were transferred together to a flask (tissue culture T75 flask (Becton-Dickinson)). Thereafter, CS was cultured under suspension culture conditions, and suspension cells were collected each time the medium was changed.
- the suspension cells were collected by suspending the flask gently to collect the medium containing the suspension cells, and then centrifuging. As a result of repeatedly collecting floating cells over 2 weeks, 1 million cells were recovered from 12 CSs (FIG. 5a). Many of the recovered cells were CD43 positive CD45 positive cells, and their morphology was consistent with immature myeloid cells (FIGS. 5b and c).

本発明で使用可能な多能性幹細胞(「PSC」ともいう)は、生体に存在するすべての細胞に分化可能である多能性を有し、かつ、増殖能をも併せもつ幹細胞であり、それには、以下のものに限定されないが、例えば、胚性幹(ES)細胞、核移植により得られるクローン胚由来の胚性幹(ntES)細胞、精子幹細胞(「GS細胞」)、胚性生殖細胞(「EG細胞」)、Multilineage-differentiating Stress Enduring cells(Muse細胞)、人工多能性幹(iPS)細胞などが含まれる。好ましい多能性幹細胞は、ES細胞、ntES細胞およびiPS細胞である。
ES細胞は、ヒトやマウスなどの哺乳動物の初期胚(例えば胚盤胞)の内部細胞塊から樹立された、多能性と自己複製による増殖能を有する幹細胞である。
精子幹細胞は、精巣由来の多能性幹細胞であり、精子形成のための起源となる細胞である。この細胞は、ES細胞と同様に、種々の系列の細胞に分化誘導可能であり、例えばマウス胚盤胞に移植するとキメラマウスを作出できるなどの性質をもつ(M. Kanatsu-Shinohara et al. (2003) Biol. Reprod., 69:612-616; K. Shinohara et al.

人工多能性幹(iPS)細胞は、特定の初期化因子を、DNA又はタンパク質の形態で体細胞に導入することによって作製することができる、ES細胞とほぼ同等の特性、例えば分化多能性と自己複製による増殖能、を有する体細胞由来の人工の幹細胞である(K. Takahashi and S. Yamanaka (2006) Cell, 126:663-676; K. Takahashi et al.

三次元支持体(CS)を用いた培養条件下で多能性幹細胞の小塊から中胚葉細胞を誘導できるか否かを検討するために、下記の実験を行った。簡潔には、KhES1株、201B7株、409B2株およびCB-A11株のそれぞれを、室温で1分間、CTK溶液にて処理し、次いでphosphate-buffered saline (PBS)で2回洗浄した。次いで、スクラッパーを用いて、各細胞株を培養プレートから引き剥がし、1.5 mL mTeSR1培地を加えた後に、各細胞株を15mLコニカルチューブ(Becton-Dickinson)に回収して、直径300-500 μmの小塊になるまでピペッティングにより解離した。チューブを1分間立てた状態にしておき、各細胞株の小塊を沈殿させた。その後、上清を除去し、各細胞株の小塊を回収した。続いて、各細胞株の小塊を24ウェルプレート内に配置されたCS上に播種した。CSは、実施例1の方法で調製したものを用いた。未分化多能性幹細胞用の維持培地(mTeSR1)を用いて一晩インキュベートした後、分化培地(BMP4を補充したmTeSR1)を入れておいた12ウェルプレートにCSを移した。
さらに、得られたHPC(D6)および誘導前の多能性幹細胞株(KhES1株またはCB-A11株)において、各マーカー遺伝子(多能性幹細胞特異的マーカーとしてのZFP42およびNanog、ならびに、中胚葉前駆細胞特異的マーカーとしてのTおよびMIXL1、造血前駆細胞特異的マーカーとしてのRUNX1、ならびに内皮前駆細胞マーカーとしてのAPLNRおよびCDH5)を定量PCRで測定した(図6)。その結果、得られたHPCにおいて、ZFP42およびNanogはほとんどその発現が確認されず、T、MIXL1、RUNX1、APLNRおよびCDH5は発現が上昇することが確認された。これらの結果より、本方法で得られた細胞は、造血系中胚葉前駆細胞に誘導され、多能性幹細胞の残存はほとんどないことが確認された。
上記(1)で得られた中胚葉細胞を、特定のサイトカインの組み合わせを添加した培地中で培養することにより、特定の異なる造血細胞へ分化誘導させた。簡潔には、分化誘導開始から6日目に、培地を、異なるセットのサイトカインを含むStemPro-34無血清培地に交換し、特定の造血細胞系列へ分化させた。骨髄系細胞誘導のために、50 ng/mL SCF (R&D Systems)、50 ng/mL IL-3 (R&D Systems)、5 ng/mL TPO (R&D Systems)および50 ng/mL FL3 (R&D Systems)を添加したStemPro-34無血清培地を用いて培養し、その間4日毎に培地を交換した。単球系細胞誘導のために、6~9日目まで、50 ng/mL SCF (R&D Systems)、50 ng/mL IL-3 (R&D Systems)、5 ng/mL TPO (R&D Systems)および50 ng/mL FL3 (R&D Systems)を添加したStemPro-34無血清培地を用いて培養した。10日目に、培地を、50 ng/mL SCF (R&D Systems)、50 ng/mL IL-3 (R&D Systems)、5 ng/mL TPO (R&D Systems)、50 ng/mL M-CSF (R&D Systems)および50 ng/mL FL3 (R&D Systems) を添加したStemPro-34無血清培地に交換した。14日目に、培地を、50 ng/mL FL3 (R&D Systems)、25 ng/mL GM-CSF (R&D Systems)および50 ng/mL M-CSF (R&D Systems)を添加したStemPro-34無血清培地に交換した。赤血球系細胞誘導のために、5 IU/mL EPO (EMD Biosciences)、50 ng/mL IL-3 (R&D Systems)および50 ng/mL SCF (R&D Systems)を添加したStemPro-34無血清培地を用いて培養し、その間2日毎に培地を交換した。最初の分化誘導開始(0日目)から14日目以降は、2-5日毎に、CSを、新鮮な培地を入れたウェルに移した。CSを新たなウェルに移す度に、移した後の培地を繰り返し回収した(22日目、27日目、32日目、37日目、42日目、47日目)。
さらに、CS上の細胞を回収し、CD34+前駆細胞およびCD45+造血系細胞が実際に培養されていることを確認した(図2h)。さらに、本方法により得られる造血系細胞を評価するため、コロニー形成試験を行ったところ、CSを用いて誘導されたコロニーは37日までコロニー形成能を有していることが確認された(図2i)。得られた細胞は、骨髄性細胞への誘導傾向が見られた。
単一多能性幹細胞からの造血細胞の誘導
(1)単一多能性幹細胞からの中胚葉細胞の誘導
CSの平均ポアサイズは約200 μmであるため、PSCの小塊はCS内に浸透していないと考えられた。そこで、CSの三次元構造を利用するために、CSが単一細胞にまで解離されたPSCの造血細胞分化を支持し得るか否かについて検討を行った。簡潔には、KhES1株、201B7株、409B2株およびCB-A11株のそれぞれを、室温で1分間、CTK溶液にて処理し、次いでphosphate-buffered saline (PBS)で2回洗浄した。次いで、1 mL Accumax (Innovative Cell Technologies, Inc.)を用いて、37℃で10分間処理し、T1000ピペット先端で解離して、9 mL PBSを加えた15 mLコニカルチューブ(Becton-Dickinson)に回収した。その後、細胞を2回洗浄して、Accumax内に含まれるコラゲナーゼを除去し、1500 rpmで5分間遠心分離した。続いて、細胞ペレットを、10 mM Y27632 (abcam)を含む500-1000 μLのmTeSR1に懸濁した。それぞれの細胞株を含む50 μLの細胞懸濁物を、24ウェルプレート内に配置させておいたCSの中央に穏やかに滴下した。CSは、実施例1の方法で調製したものを用いた。翌日に、1mlの未分化多能性幹細胞用の維持培地(mTeSR1)を加えて、さらに1日間培養した後、分化培地(BMP4を補充したmTeSR1)を入れておいた12ウェルプレートにCSを移した。その後の分化工程は、実施例2と同様の方法により行った。
また、1個のCSあたりの最適な未分化多能性幹細胞の数を決定するために、いくつかの出発細胞数で検討を行ったところ、KhES1株では、1個のCSあたり1×105個の細胞数のときに、最大のKDR陽性CD34陽性 HPCの産生が観察されたが(図3b-d)、これらの結果は、細胞株間で異なっていた(図3b-dおよびh-p)。
実施例2と同様の方法により、骨髄系細胞への分化誘導を行った。その結果、多能性幹細胞の小塊を用いた場合と同様に、約20日目あたりから培養培地中に浮遊造血細胞が放出され始めた。骨髄系細胞への分化誘導においては、浮遊生細胞は、骨髄様表面マーカーおよび形態を示した(図3fおよびg)。
走査型顕微鏡および免疫染色法による観察
分化した細胞同士の相互作用や分化した細胞のスキャフォールド内での分布状況を評価するために、実施例2および3の方法によりそれぞれ小塊および単一細胞から分化誘導させた造血細胞について走査型顕微鏡による観察を行った。簡潔には、細胞を播種する前のCS、41日間PSCの小塊を分化させた後のCS、21日間単一PSCを分化させた後のCS、41日間PSCの小塊を分化させた後のCS、および21日間単一PSCを分化させた後のCSのそれぞれを、4% paraformaldehydeおよび2% glutaraldehydeを用いて、4℃で一晩、固定した。1% OsO4で3時間の後固定(post-fixation)を行った後、CSを脱水して乾燥させ、プラチナパラジウムの薄層でコートした。その後、Hitachi S-4700走査型電子顕微鏡(Hitachi, Tokyo, Japan)を用いて、標本を観察した。なお、PSCとしては、すべてKhES1が使用された。
その結果、コラーゲン繊維は、細胞内コラゲナーゼの影響で、分化の間に徐々に崩壊していた(図4a-c)。PSCの小塊を分化させたとき、球状の造血様細胞がPET繊維を取り囲むように凝集していた(図4d)。興味深いことに、これらの造血細胞はまた、PET繊維を架橋するシート様細胞に接着していた(図4e)。これらの構造はまた、単一細胞から分化させたときにおいても観察された(図4fおよびg)。全体的に、走査型顕微鏡による観察は、CS上の造血細胞ニッチが、PET繊維、造血細胞および非造血系支持細胞が緊密な位置関係を有しながら配置されていることを明らかにした。興味深いことに、このニッチを構成する要素は、以前に報告された(Leisten I, et al., Biomaterials.33(6):1736-47 (2012))インビトロでの造血微小環境と一致していた。
さらに、CS内部の細胞の特性を調べるため、CSごとに免疫染色を行ったところ、CD34+細胞およびコラーゲン繊維が嚢状(sac状)構造を形成し、CD45+細胞がCSの空洞内に取り込まれていることが確認された(図7a~c)。
造血細胞の大規模誘導
本発明によるCSを用いた培養法が大規模浮遊培養に適用できるか否かを検討するために、50 mLのフラスコを用いて実験を行った。簡潔には、実施例2の方法により、複数のCS上でPSC(KhES1)の小塊を分化誘導し、分化の18日目において、骨髄系サイトカインカクテルを含む25 mLの培地を入れた50 mLフラスコ(組織培養T75 flask (Becton-Dickinson))に12個のCSを一緒に移した。その後、CSを浮遊培養条件下で培養し、培地交換の度に浮遊細胞を回収した。浮遊細胞の回収は、フラスコを穏やかに懸濁して浮遊細胞を含む培地を回収し、次いで、遠心分離することにより行った。2週間にわたり浮遊細胞を繰り返し回収した結果、100万個の細胞が12個のCSより回収された(図5a)。回収された細胞の多くは、CD43陽性CD45陽性細胞であり、それらの形態は、未成熟な骨髄系細胞と一致していた(図5bおよびc)。すなわち、このことは、CSによる分化誘導系が、多能性幹細胞から造血細胞を誘導する際の大規模化に適用可能であることを示唆している。
