Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) hold promise as a potential treatment for Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). To determine the impact of the donor's age on reprogramming, we generated iPSCs from muscle-derived fibroblasts (MuFs) of mdx mice aged 6 weeks, 6 months, and 14 months. MuFs from 14-month-old mdx mice showed lower proliferative activity and lower reprogramming efficiency, compared with those from younger mdx mice. Furthermore, iPSCs derived from 14-month-old mdx mice (14m-MuF-iPSCs) gradually lost Nanog expression, and regressed in conventional ES medium during passages. Interestingly, inhibition of TGF-β signaling and BMP signaling stabilized Nanog expression and promoted self-renewal of 14m-MuF-iPSCs. Finally, rescued mdx-derived iPSCs efficiently differentiated into the skeletal muscle lineage.
诱导多能干细胞(iPSCs)有望成为杜氏肌营养不良症(DMD)的一种潜在治疗方法。为了确定供体年龄对重编程的影响,我们从6周龄、6月龄和14月龄的mdx小鼠的肌肉来源成纤维细胞(MuFs)中生成了iPSCs。与年轻mdx小鼠的MuFs相比,14月龄mdx小鼠的MuFs显示出较低的增殖活性和较低的重编程效率。此外,来自14月龄mdx小鼠的iPSCs(14m-MuF-iPSCs)逐渐失去Nanog表达,并在传代过程中在传统ES培养基中发生退化。有趣的是,抑制TGF-β信号和BMP信号可稳定Nanog表达并促进14m-MuF-iPSCs的自我更新。最后,拯救后的mdx来源的iPSCs有效地分化为骨骼肌谱系。
