Conversion of trophectoderm (TE)-derived trophoblast stem cells (TSCs) from inner-cell-mass-derived embryonic stem cells (ESCs) in mice is difficult to achieve naturally. Here, we introduce a reliable and repeatable protocol to generate induced TSCs (iTSCs) from ESCs via a Tet-on system in vitro. The iTSCs show typical TSC properties and have the potential to differentiate into syncytiotrophoblast cells (STCs) and trophoblast giant cells (TGCs). This cell fate transition provides a general platform to robustly investigate the mechanisms underlying TE specification. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Zhang et al. (2022)..
从内细胞团衍生的胚胎干细胞(ESCs)中自然转化滋养外胚层(TE)衍生的滋养层干细胞(TSCs)是困难的。在这里,我们通过体外 Tet-on 系统介绍了一种从 ESCs 生成诱导性 TSCs(iTSCs)的可靠且可重复的方案。iTSCs 表现出典型的 TSC 特性,并具有分化为合体滋养层细胞(STCs)和滋养层巨细胞(TGCs)的潜力。这种细胞命运转变为深入研究 TE 特化的机制提供了一个通用平台。有关此方案使用和执行的完整详细信息,请参阅 Zhang 等人(2022 年)。
