CC Chemokine Ligand 2 and Leukemia Inhibitory Factor Cooperatively Promote Pluripotency in Mouse Induced Pluripotent Cells

The pluripotency of mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) can be maintained by feeder cells, which secrete leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF). We found that feeder cells provide a relatively low concentration (25 unit/ml) of LIF, which is insufficient to maintain...

Description
Summary:The pluripotency of mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) can be maintained by feeder cells, which secrete leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF). We found that feeder cells provide a relatively low concentration (25 unit/ml) of LIF, which is insufficient to maintain the ESCs/iPSCs pluripotency in feeder free conditions. To identify additional factors involved in the maintenance of pluripotency, we carried out a global transcript expression profiling of mouse iPSCs cultured on feeder cells and in feeder‐free (LIF‐treated) conditions. This identified 17 significantly differentially expressed genes (adjusted p value
