Cell-surface markers for the isolation of pancreatic cell types derived from human embryonic stem cells

TLDR
Using a flow cytometry–based screen of commercial antibodies, cell-surface markers for the separation of pancreatic cell types derived from human embryonic stem (hES) cells are identified and will aid investigations that use pancreatic cells generated from pluripotent stem cells to study diabetes and pancreas biology.
Abstract
Using a flow cytometry-based screen of commercial antibodies, we have identified cell-surface markers for the separation of pancreatic cell types derived from human embryonic stem (hES) cells. We show enrichment of pancreatic endoderm cells using CD142 and of endocrine cells using CD200 and CD318. After transplantation into mice, enriched pancreatic endoderm cells give rise to all the pancreatic lineages, including functional insulin-producing cells, demonstrating that they are pancreatic progenitors. In contrast, implanted, enriched polyhormonal endocrine cells principally give rise to glucagon cells. These antibodies will aid investigations that use pancreatic cells generated from pluripotent stem cells to study diabetes and pancreas biology.

Reversal of diabetes with insulin-producing cells derived in vitro from human pluripotent stem cells

TL;DR: Although S7 cells are not fully equivalent to mature beta cells, their capacity for glucose-responsive insulin secretion and rapid reversal of diabetes in vivo makes them a promising alternative to pancreatic progenitor cells or cadaveric islets for the treatment of diabetes.

Maturation of Human Embryonic Stem Cell–Derived Pancreatic Progenitors into Functional Islets Capable of Treating Pre-existing Diabetes in Mice

TL;DR: A protocol to efficiently differentiate commercially available human embryonic stem cells in vitro into a highly enriched PDX1+ pancreatic progenitor cell population that further develops in vivo to mature pancreatic endocrine cells supports the feasibility of using differentiated hESCs as an alternative to cadaveric islets for treating patients with diabetes.

Pluripotent stem cells in regenerative medicine: challenges and recent progress

TL;DR: Recent progress in directed differentiation, some of the new technologies that have facilitated the success of hPSC therapies and the remaining hurdles on the road towards developing hPSc-based cell therapies are discussed.

Controlled Induction of Human Pancreatic Progenitors Produces Functional Beta-Like Cells

TL;DR: In this article, a simple, fast, effective and safe directed differentiation of embryonic stem cells into pancreatic beta-like cells secreting insulin in response to glucose levels is described.

Towards a knowledge-based Human Protein Atlas

TL;DR: The analysis here suggests that state stem cell funding programs are sufficiently large and established that simply ending the programs, at least in the absence of substantial investment in the field by other funding sources, could have deleterious effects.

A ROCK inhibitor permits survival of dissociated human embryonic stem cells

TL;DR: Application of a selective Rho-associated kinase (ROCK) inhibitor, Y-27632, to hES cells markedly diminishes dissociation-induced apoptosis, increases cloning efficiency and facilitates subcloning after gene transfer, and enables SFEB-cultured hES Cells to survive and differentiate into Bf1+ cortical and basal telencephalic progenitors.

Production of pancreatic hormone–expressing endocrine cells from human embryonic stem cells

TL;DR: A differentiation process that converts human embryonic stem cells to endocrine cells capable of synthesizing the pancreatic hormones insulin, glucagon, somatostatin, pancreatic polypeptide and ghrelin is developed.

Pancreatic endoderm derived from human embryonic stem cells generates glucose-responsive insulin-secreting cells in vivo

TL;DR: It is shown that pancreatic endoderm derived from human embryonic stem (hES) cells efficiently generates glucose-responsive endocrine cells after implantation into mice, and it is demonstrated that implantation of hES cell–derived pancreaticEndoderm protects against streptozotocin-induced hyperglycemia.

Direct evidence for the pancreatic lineage: NGN3+ cells are islet progenitors and are distinct from duct progenitors.

TL;DR: The results provide direct evidence that NGN3+ cells are islet progenitors during embryogenesis and in adult mice, and suggest that lineages for exocrine, endocrine islet and duct progenitor are committed at mid-gestation.
