Abstract EN
Although human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) can proliferate robustly on the feeder-free culture system, genetic instability of hPSCs has been reported in such environment.
Alternatively, feeder cells enable hPSCs to maintain their pluripotency.
The feeder cells are usually grown in a culture medium containing fetal bovine serum (FBS) prior to coculture with hPSCs.
The use of FBS might limit the clinical application of hPSCs.
Recently, human cord blood-derived serum (hUCS) showed a positive effect on culture of mesenchymal stem cells.
It is interesting to test whether hUCS can be used for culture of feeder cells of hPSCs.
This study was aimed to replace FBS with hUCS for culturing the human foreskin fibroblasts (HFFs) prior to feeder cell preparation.
The results showed that HFFs cultured in hUCS-containing medium (HFF-hUCS) displayed fibroblastic features, high proliferation rates, short population doubling times, and normal karyotypes after prolonged culture.
Inactivated HFF-hUCS expressed important genes, including Activin A, FGF2, and TGFβ1, which have been implicated in the maintenance of hPSC pluripotency.
Moreover, hPSC lines maintained pluripotency, differentiation capacities, and karyotypic stability after being cocultured for extended period with inactivated HFF-hUCS.
Therefore, the results demonstrated the benefit of hUCS for hPSCs culture system.
