Xenogeneic-free defined conditions for derivation and expansion of human embryonic stem cells with mesenchymal stem cells

The potential applications of human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) in regenerative medicine and developmental research have made stem cell biology one of the most fascinating and rapidly expanding fields of biomedicine. The first clinical trial of hESCs in humans has begun, and the field of stem cell...

description The potential applications of human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) in regenerative medicine and developmental research have made stem cell biology one of the most fascinating and rapidly expanding fields of biomedicine. The first clinical trial of hESCs in humans has begun, and the field of stem cell therapy has just entered a new era. Here, we report seven hESC lines (SEES-1, -2, -3, -4, -5, -6, and -7). Four of them were derived and maintained on irradiated human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) grown in xenogeneic-free defined media and substrate. Xenogeneic-free hMSCs isolated from the subcutaneous tissue of extra fingers from individuals with polydactyly showed appropriate potentials as feeder layers in the pluripotency and growth of hESCs. In this report, we describe a comprehensive characterization of these newly derived SEES cell lines. In addition, we developed a scalable culture system for hESCs having high biological safety by using gamma-irradiated serum replacement and pharmaceutical-grade recombinant basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF, also known as trafermin). This is first report describing the maintenance of hESC pluripotency using pharmaceutical-grade human recombinant bFGF (trafermin) and gamma-irradiated serum replacement. Our defined medium system provides a path to scalability in Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) settings for the generation of clinically relevant cell types from pluripotent cells for therapeutic applications.
