Abstract

A method for stimulating the differentiation of human pluripotent stem cells into kidney lineages remains to be developed. Most cells in kidney are derived from an embryonic germ layer known as intermediate mesoderm. Here we show the establishment of an efficient system of homologous recombination in human pluripotent stem cells by means of bacterial artificial chromosome-based vectors and single-nucleotide polymorphism array-based detection. This system allowed us to generate human-induced pluripotent stem cell lines containing green fluorescence protein knocked into OSR1, a specific intermediate mesoderm marker. We have also established a robust induction protocol for intermediate mesoderm, which produces up to 90% OSR1(+) cells. These human intermediate mesoderm cells can differentiate into multiple cell types of intermediate mesoderm-derived organs in vitro and in vivo, thereby supplying a useful system to elucidate the mechanisms of intermediate mesoderm development and potentially providing a cell source for regenerative therapies of the kidney.

  • Spatiotemporal presentation of soluble cues is especially important for growing human iPSC into complex structures with multiple cell lineages, such as kidney organoids.

    “The importance of presenting soluble cues in a spatiotemporally relevant manner is especially important for growing human iPSC into complex structures with multiple cell lineages such as in the case of kidney organoids83.”

    From Organoids (2022) · cites this paper as [83]

    The Results (Establishment of robust induction methods of IM cells; page unavailable) show that sequential growth-factor treatments improve induction of intermediate mesoderm from human pluripotent stem cells, supporting the importance of cue timing. But the paper does not establish spatial presentation of cues as important for growing kidney organoids. The Discussion (page unavailable) says production of three-dimensional renal structures remained inefficient. (LLM, conf=0.86)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
