description No radical treatment is available for the regeneration of dysfunction and defects in airway epithelia. Artificial tracheae made of polypropylene and collagen sponge were used in clinical studies to reconstitute tracheae after resection. For early epithelialization of the luminal surface of the artificial trachea, a model was established, that is, an artificial trachea covered with human-induced pluripotent stem cell-derived airway epithelial cells (hiPSC-AECs) was transplanted into a tracheal defect in an immunodeficient rat. Unlike the cell types of hiPSC-derived cells that are currently used in clinical studies, AECs maintain tissues by proliferation and differentiation of basal cells into various cell types that constitute AECs constantly. Therefore, post-transplantation, the proportion of each cell type, such as ciliated and goblet cells, may change; however, no studies have examined this possibility. In this study, using our hiPSC-AEC-transplanted rat model, we investigated changes in the proportion of each cell type in hiPSC-AECs pre-transplantation and post-transplantation. As a result, the proportion of each cell type changed post-transplantation. The proportion of ciliated, basal, and club cells increased, and the proportion of goblet cells decreased post-transplantation. In addition, the proportion of each cell type in engrafted hiPSC-AECs is more similar to the proportion of each cell type in normal proximal airway tissue than the proportion of each cell type pre-transplantation. The results of this study are useful for the development of therapeutic techniques using hiPSC-AEC transplantation.
