Despite exciting new possibilities for regenerative therapy posed by the ability to induce pluripotent stem cells, recapitulation of three-dimensional kidneys for repair or replacement has not been possible. ARID3a-deficient mouse tissues generated multipotent, developmentally plastic cells. Therefore, we assessed the adult mouse ARID3a-/- kidney cell line, KKPS5, which expresses renal progenitor surface markers as an alternative cell source for modeling kidney development. Remarkably, these cells spontaneously developed into multicellular nephron-like structures in vitro, and engrafted into immunocompromised medaka mesonephros, where they formed mouse nephron structures. These data implicate KKPS5 cells as a new model system for studying kidney development.
尽管诱导多能干细胞的能力为再生疗法带来了令人兴奋的新可能性,但三维肾脏的重建用于修复或替代尚未实现。ARID3a缺陷的小鼠组织产生了多能、具有发育可塑性的细胞。因此,我们评估了成年小鼠ARID3a-/-肾细胞系KKPS5,其表达肾祖细胞表面标志物,作为模拟肾脏发育的替代细胞来源。值得注意的是,这些细胞在体外自发发育成多细胞肾单位样结构,并植入免疫缺陷的青鳉中肾,在那里它们形成了小鼠肾单位结构。这些数据表明KKPS5细胞是研究肾脏发育的新模型系统。
