A acid (RA, Sigma company of the U.S., article No.: R2625) and Sonic Hedgehog (SHH, Sigma company of the U.S., article No.: SRP3156) RPE base culture base: postvaccinal 7-10 days add RA, its working concentration reduces by sky, be followed successively by 500nM, 400nM, 300nM and 200nM (changing a subculture every day), within postvaccinal 11-14 days, add SHH, its working concentration is 25nM (changing a subculture for every two days), continue to cultivate until can observe obvious melanocyte (using in addition 100nM Activin A process to replace RA and SHH to process also can realize transdifferentiation is RPE cell, uses RA and SHH just can observe the RPE cell expressing melanochrome that transdifferentiation forms but only have).Express respectively eight kinds of transcription factors and mCherry reporter gene (red fluorescent protein gene by utilizing, be used to indicate virus transfection effect, its plamid vector construction is identical with eight kinds of transcription factors with virus packaging) the experiment of retroviral vector coinfection HFF, we find that the transfection efficiency of independent a kind of virus vector reaches approximately 77% (as shown in Fig. 4-D), and we infer that infected cell can express the probability of above-mentioned eight kinds of transcription factors simultaneously and can reach 12% accordingly.Virus vector mixture coinfection is collected all HFF after 3 days and is carried out qPCR analysis (the primer is shown in materials and methods part), the expression (as shown in Fig. 4-C) of all 8 kinds of transcriptional regulators can be detected.
Utilize after the lentiviral vectors coinfection HFF of the expression Best1::GFP reporter gene (promotor is wherein Best1-0.6kb promotor) building in the retroviral vector of eight kinds of different transcriptional regulators of above-mentioned expression and embodiment 1 carries out transdifferentiation 12 days, we have observed directly the Best1::GFP reporter gene positive cell clone that can send green fluorescence through blue light illumination by fluorescent microscope, transdifferentiation after 21 days these cell clones start to show active proliferation activity, transdifferentiation after 35 days cell clone sprawl into gradually monolayer cell state, and start to form the form (as shown in Fig. 5-A) of RPE precursor cell sample.
Further, we have set 8 experimental group, reject respectively a kind of transcription regulaton factor for every group, utilize the lentiviral vectors coinfection HFF that expresses the retroviral vector of seven kinds of factors of residue and express Best1::GFP reporter gene (Best1-0.6kb promotor) to carry out transdifferentiation (as shown in Fig. 5-B), result shows to reject cMyc, after MitfA or Otx2, can't detect Best1::GFP reporter gene (Best1-0.6kb promotor) positive cell completely, in addition reject the quantity (as shown in Fig. 5-B) that Rax or Crx also can significantly reduce Best1::GFP reporter gene positive cell, prompting cMyc, MitfA, Otx2, Rax and Crx are for most important to the process of Best1::GFP reporter gene (Best1-0.6kb promotor) positive cell transdifferentiation by human fibroblast, and other three kinds of factor K lf4, Nrl and Pax6 can be rejected separately or be replaced by other factors.
The qualification of embodiment 3. transdifferentiation cells.
Using after infecting HFF cell the 21st day of virus mixture, under fluorescent microscope, select the BEST1::GFP positive cell clone that can send green fluorescence through blue light illumination, and be seeded to and use in advance 0.5%qualified-Matrigel (purchased from U.S. BD Biosciences, article No.: in 24 orifice plates of 354277) processing, cell is divided into two experimental group, first use and add 1 respectively) Activin A (final concentration 100nM, R & D System, article No.: 338-AC), or 2) RA (vitamin A acid, Sigma company of the U.S., article No.: R2625) and SHH (working concentration 25nM, Sigma company of the U.S., article No.: SRP3156) N2/B27 substratum, under 37 degrees Celsius and 5% carbon dioxide conditions, continue to cultivate, within every two days, change a subculture, to promote its further ripe (as shown in Fig. 6-B).Cultivate and within 10 days, afterwards substratum is replaced by RPE basic medium (changing a subculture for every two days), continue to cultivate until can observe obvious melanocyte.Using after infecting HFF cell the 35th day of virus mixture, the cell of two experimental group all shows and the similar cellular form of RPE cell being become by hESC's directed differentiation, uses real-time quantitative PCR (qPCR) method the expression (as shown in Fig. 6-A) of the RPE cell-specific molecular marked compounds such as MITF, ZO-1 and Best1 also can be detected simultaneously.The more important thing is, in the Best1::GFP positive cell of the culture medium culturing that now early application contains RA and SHH, can observe obvious melanocyte (as shown in Fig. 6-B), illustrate that this culture condition can make Best1::GFP positive cell more ripe and become the RPE cell with function.For further this discovery of checking, we use the Best1::GFP positive cell (adding the experimental group of RA and SHH) of flow cytometry enrichment maturation, and with the transcription product of RPE cell-specific sex factor in qPCR technical Analysis (the primer is shown in materials and methods part) cell, by with the primary inoblast comparison of the mankind, we find that ripe Best1::GFP positive cell not only expresses the transcriptional regulator manually proceeding to, but also the gene of expressing other intraocular enrichments such as Six3 and Lhx2, a series of direct and Vitamin A Metabolism can be detected in addition, the relevant genetic expressions of RPE function such as the synthetic and somatomedin secretion of melanochrome, as Best1, Cralbp, Pedf and Tyrp2 etc. (as shown in Fig. 6-C).
