Functional recapitulation of smooth muscle cells via induced pluripotent stem cells from human aortic smooth muscle cells.
RATIONALE Generation of induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells has been intensively studied by a variety of reprogramming methods, but the molecular and functional properties of the cells differentiated from iPS cells have not been well characterized. OBJECTIVE To address this issue, we generated iPS cells from human aortic vascular smooth muscle cells (HASMCs) using lentiviral transduction of ...
متن کاملFunctional vascular smooth muscle cells derived from human induced pluripotent stem cells via mesenchymal stem cell intermediates.
AIMS Smooth muscle cells (SMC) play an important role in vascular homeostasis and disease. Although adult mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) have been used as a source of contractile SMC, they suffer from limited proliferation potential and culture senescence, particularly when originating from older donors. By comparison, human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSC) can provide an unlimited source o...
متن کاملDifferentiation of Human Induced-Pluripotent Stem Cells into Smooth-Muscle Cells: Two Novel Protocols
Conventional protocols for differentiating human induced-pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) into smooth-muscle cells (SMCs) can be inefficient and generally fail to yield cells with a specific SMC phenotype (i.e., contractile or synthetic SMCs). Here, we present two novel hiPSC-SMC differentiation protocols that yield SMCs with predominantly contractile or synthetic phenotypes. Flow cytometry anal...
متن کاملA comparison of murine smooth muscle cells generated from embryonic versus induced pluripotent stem cells.
Smooth muscle cell (SMC) differentiation and dedifferentiation play a critical role in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular diseases. The lack of a good and simple in vitro SMC differentiation system has hampered the progress of SMC field for years. The generation of such an in vitro system would be invaluable for exploring molecular mechanisms of SMC differentiation and dedifferentiation. Recent...
متن کاملDispersed Aortic Smooth Muscle Cells
Studies on hormone induced contraction of vascular smooth muscle strips in vitro have yielded a large body of pharmacological and biochemical data (1). Unfortunately, vascular strips possess inherent limitations for answering certain questions concerning sites of hormone binding on their constituent smooth muscle cells. Diffusion barriers in the tissue may hinder the use of macromolecular recep...
