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
-Patiënt afgeleide geïnduceerde pluripotente stamcellen (iPSCs) zijn veelbelovende instrumenten voor celtherapie en drug discovery. Zij een autologe bron van cellen voor de therapie. Bovendien, ze omvatten een zeer brede reeks genetische achtergronden, waardoor een gedetailleerde in vitro analyse van genetische ziekten dan huidige embryonale stamcel (ESC) lijnen mogelijk maken. Recente ontwikkelingen hebben geleid tot de ontwikkeling van verschillende methoden voor het genereren iPSCs, waaronder herprogrammering met Sendai-virus, episomale plasmiden of mRNA 1,2. Met name worden verschillende herprogrammering methoden in verband met verschillende niveaus van efficiëntie en veiligheid, en zullen waarschijnlijk verschillen op andere manieren hun geschiktheid van invloed zijn voor diverse toepassingen. Met de beschikbaarheid van een verscheidenheid aan technologieën herprogrammering, is het belangrijk geworden om methodologieën voor herprogrammering te ontwikkelen. De meeste bestaande werkwijzen vertrouwen op de kwalitatieve controle van de morfologie of vlekkenmet stamcel-specifieke kleurstoffen en antilichamen. Een recent ontwikkelde methode maakt gebruik van lentivirale fluorescentie reporters die gevoelig PSC-specifieke miRNAs of gedifferentieerde cel-specifieke mRNAs 3 zijn. Dergelijke controlemethoden vergemakkelijken van de selectie en de optimalisering van herprogrammering technieken voor verschillende situaties. Bijvoorbeeld is CDY1 gebruikt als een fluorescente probe te vroeg iPSCs om te screenen op modulators 4 herprogrammering. Het waarnemingsvermogen wensen herprogrammering experimenten is ook essentieel voor een beter begrip van het proces zelf. Zo is nu bekend dat bepaalde somatische celtypen zijn gemakkelijker te herprogrammeren anderen dan 5, en dat cellen doorlopen tussenfasen in herprogrammeren 6-8. Helaas, de onderliggende mechanismen herprogrammeringsproces nog niet volledig begrepen en derhalve de exacte verschillen tussen herprogrammering methoden ook nog worden defined. Zo methoden voor monitoring, evaluatie, en het vergelijken van herprogrammering gebeurtenissen blijven van cruciaal belang voor het veld stamcellen te zijn.
De in dit protocol beschreven werkwijzen maken de controle en beoordeling van de herprogrammeringsproces en laten zien hoe deze technieken kunnen worden gebruikt om verschillende reeksen herprogrammering reagentia vergelijken. De eerste benadering houdt flowcytometrie geanalyseerd met behulp van combinaties van antilichamen tegen positieve en negatieve pluripotente stamcellen (PSC) markers. De tweede benadering koppels real-time beeldvorming en de meting van de totale samenloop (het percentage oppervlak bedekt door de cellen) en de samenvloeiing van marker-signalen (het percentage oppervlak bedekt door de fluorescerende signalen).

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…
