Abstract
Provided are a storage method and a banking system of cells prepared using somatic cell nuclear transfer (NT) technology with homozygous genotypes of genes of human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-A, HLA-B, HLA-DR, and the like. The banking of NT cell-derived stem cells may be applied to autologous or allogenic patients and can provide transplantable cells and tissue materials for the treatment of various diseases such as diabetes, osteoarthritis, Parkinson's disease, and the like.
Claims5
A method of generating immunocompatible nuclear transfer (NT) cell-derived stem cells, the method comprising:
- a) obtaining HLA-A, HLA-B and HLA-DRB1 haplotype homozygous somatic cells by:
- a1) screening for human leukocyte antigen HLA-A, HLA-B, and HLA-DRB1 homozygosity in a plurality of donor tissues, and
- a2) isolating HLA-A, HLA-B, and HLA-DRB1 haplotype homozygous cells from the plurality of donor tissues;
- b) generating NT cells by:
- b0) isolating nuclei from the HLA-A, HLA-B, and HLA-DRBI haplotype homozygous somatic cells;
- b1) enucleating oocytes, wherein the enucleation is performed in a medium comprising a protein phosphatase inhibitor;
- b2) fusing the isolated nuclei of the HLA-A, HLA-B, and HLA-DRBI haplotype homozygous somatic cells to the enucleated oocytes, thereby creating NT cells, wherein the fusing is performed in a medium containing Sendai virus or a Sendai virus extract;
- b3) activating the NT cells of b2) by electrical pulses;
- b4) providing post-activating NT cells by incubating the NT cells of b3) in a post-activation medium, wherein the post-activation medium comprises 6-dimethylaminopurine (6-DMAP), trichostatin A (TSA) and an epigenetic modifying agent that is involved in modification of a lysine demethylase (KDM) domain protein, and wherein the epigenetic modifying agent contacts the nuclei of at least one of the NT cells of b3);
- and
- c) generating the stem cells from the post-activating NT cells by:
- c1) generating blastocysts from the post-activating NT cells;
- c2) isolating inner cell mass (ICM) cells from the generated blastocysts;
- and
- c3) further culturing the isolated ICM cells into the stem cells.
