[Generation of sepsis encephalopathy patient-specific inducible pluripotent stem cells with urine cells].

OBJECTIVE
To recombine the induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) derived from the urine of septic encephalopathy (SE) patients, and provided a specificity cell model to explore the mechanism of the neuronal damage and treatment for SE patients.


METHODS
Urine of SE patient was collected, and tubular epithelial cells were isolated and cultured from the urine. iPSC were derived from SE patient by introducing 4 transcription factors OCT4, Klf4, Sox2, c-Myc (OKSM) into patient-specific urine cells by Millipore's Human STEMCCATM Constitutive Polycistronic (OKSM) Lentivirus Kit. Colony morphology, alkaline phosphatase (AKP) activity, immunofluorescence staining, quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR), and differentiation ability were used to identify the pluripetency of these iPSC lines. In addition, neurons were derived from these iPSC by inhibiting transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) pathway.


RESULTS
The SE-iPSC exhibited morphological and growth characteristics of human embryonic stem cell (hES), showed positivity for AKP by histochemical staining, and expressed embryonic stem cell (ESC) marker genes. There was a significant statistical difference in ESC-marker mRNA expression between the SE-iPSC and the urine cells [NANOG mRNA (2-ΔΔCt): 1.153±0.142 vs. 0.126±0.024, t = -10.688; REX1 mRNA (2-ΔΔCt): 1.419±0.206 vs. 0.103±0.066, t = -14.245; OCT4 mRNA (2-ΔΔCt): 1.233±0.176 vs. 0.201±0.022, t = -9.028; Sox2 mRNA (2-ΔΔCt): 1.334±0.119 vs. 0.159±0.017, t = -12.653, all P < 0.01]. Subcutaneous injection of iPSC into NOD-SCID mice resulted in teratomas containing tissues from all the 3 germ layers. Furthermore, neurons were successfully induced from SE-iPSC.


CONCLUSIONS
The SE patient-specific iPSC could be generated from urine cells and differentiated into neurons, furthermore, the SE-iPSC cell line can be used as models for further elucidating the cellular pathology and developing therapeutic strategies for SE.
