Abstract
Somatic reprogramming has enabled the conversion of adult cells to induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) from diverse genetic backgrounds and disease phenotypes. Recent advances have identified more efficient and safe methods for introduction of reprogramming factors. However, there are few tools to monitor and track the progression of reprogramming. Current methods for monitoring reprogramming rely on the qualitative inspection of morphology or staining with stem cell-specific dyes and antibodies. Tools to dissect the progression of iPSC generation can help better understand the process under different conditions from diverse cell sources.
This study presents key approaches for kinetic measurement of reprogramming progression using flow cytometry as well as real-time monitoring via imaging. To measure the kinetics of reprogramming, flow analysis was performed at discrete time points using antibodies against positive and negative pluripotent stem cell markers. The combination of real-time visualization and flow analysis enables the quantitative study of reprogramming at different stages and provides a more accurate comparison of different systems and methods. Real-time, image-based analysis was used for the continuous monitoring of fibroblasts as they are reprogrammed in a feeder-free medium system. The kinetics of colony formation was measured based on confluence in the phase contrast or fluorescence channels after staining with live alkaline phosphatase dye or antibodies against SSEA4 or TRA-1-60. The results indicated that measurement of confluence provides semi-quantitative metrics to monitor the progression of reprogramming.
Introduction
患者由来の人工多能性幹細胞（iPS細胞）を細胞療法及び薬物スクリーニングのための有望なツールです。彼らは、治療のための細胞の自家源を提供します。さらに、それらは、胚性幹細胞（ESC）の行ができるようになり、現在のものを超えて遺伝病の詳細なインビトロ分析を可能にする、遺伝的背景の非常に広いセットを包含する。最近の進歩は、センダイウイルス、エピソームプラスミドまたはmRNAを1,2と再プログラミングを含む、iPS細胞を生成するためのいくつかの方法の開発につながっています。特に、別の再プログラミング方法は、効率性と安全性のレベルを変化させることに関連しており、様々な用途のためのそれらの適切性に影響を与える他の方法で異なる可能性が高いされています。再プログラミング技術の種々の利用可能性によれば、再プログラミングプロセスを評価するための方法を開発することが重要になってきています。ほとんどの既存の方法は、形態または染色の定性的な検査に依存します幹細胞特異的色素と抗体を用いました。一つの最近開発された方法は、PSC-特異的miRNAまたは分化細胞特異的なmRNA 3に敏感であるレンチウイルスの蛍光レポーターを利用します。このような監視方法は、さまざまな状況のための技術を再プログラミングの選択および最適化を容易にします。例えば、CDy1は再プログラミング変調器4をスクリーニングするために、初期のiPS細胞用の蛍光プローブとして使用されています。異なる再プログラミング実験を観察し、比較する能力はまた、プロセス自体のより良い理解を得るために重要です。例えば、現在、いくつかの体細胞タイプは他の5よりも再プログラムが容易であることが知られており、細胞を6-8再プログラミングの間の中間状態を通過すること。残念ながら、再プログラミングプロセスの基礎となるメカニズムはまだ完全には理解されておらず、その結果、再プログラミングの方法との間の正確な違いはまた、dをされずに残っていますefined。このように、監視のための方法、評価、および再プログラミングイベントを比較するには、幹細胞分野のために重要であり続けます。
このプロトコールに記載された方法は、監視を可能にし、再プログラミングプロセスを評価し、これらの技術は、再プログラミング試薬の異なるセットを比較するために使用することができる方法を示します。第1のアプローチは、フローサイトメトリーを含む正および負の多能性幹細胞（PSC）のマーカーに対する抗体の組合せを使用して分析します。第二のアプローチカップルリアルタイムイメージング及び合計コンフルエンス（細胞によって覆われたパーセント面積）を測定し、マーカ信号の合流（蛍光シグナルによって覆わパーセント面積）。

Discussion
This study provides strategies for monitoring and tracking of the reprogramming process using flow cytometry and real-time imaging-based analysis. The critical steps in the protocol are initiating reprogramming, measuring reprogramming progression based on marker expression and real-time monitoring of reprogramming. Any reprogramming method of choice can be used but here we focus on Sendai based reprogramming of human fibroblasts. The advantage of this method is the ease of use and consistent high efficiency of reprogram…
