Abstract
Source: Burt, M. et al. Guided Differentiation of Mature Kidney Podocytes from Human Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells Under Chemically Defined Conditions. J. Vis. Exp. (2020)
In this video, we describe the protocol to derive human kidney podocytes from induced pluripotent stem cells through cell differentiation under defined chemical conditions. The generated podocytes can be used for nephrotoxicity testing and disease modeling.
Protocol
1. Preparation of Reagents Dilute thawed 5x hiPS cell culture media (CCM) supplement in hiPS cell culture basal medium to obtain a 1x solution of hiPS CCM. NOTE: Frozen 5x hiPS CCM supplement requires a slow thawing process, ideally in 4 ˚C for overnight. Aliquots of the 1x hiPS CCM can be stored for up to 6 months at -20 ˚C. Preparation of basement membrane (BM) matrix 1-coated plates for hiPS cell culture: Thaw BM matrix 1 overnight on ice at 4 &#…

| DU11 human iPS cells | The DU11(Duke University clone #11) iPS cell line was generated at the Duke University iPSC Core Facility and provided to us by the Bursac Lab at Duke University. This line has been tested for mycoplasma and was last karyotyped in July 2019 by our lab, and found to be karyotypically normal. | ||
