dc.description.abstract | Smooth muscle cell (SMC) differentiation and dedifferentiation play a critical role in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular diseases. The lack of a good and simple in vitro SMC differentiation system has hampered the progress of SMC field for years. The generation of such an in vitro system would be invaluable for exploring molecular mechanisms of SMC differentiation and dedifferentiation. Recently, the establishment of induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells has offered a novel therapeutic strategy to generate patient-specific stem cell lines. Here we have investigated whether iPS cells are able to differentiate into SMCs in vitro. Mouse iPS cell (O9 and TT025) monolayers were treated with 105 mol/L all-trans retinoid acid (RA). After 8 days of RA treatment, we found that >40% of the O9 iPS cells expressed the SMC-markers including SMα-actin and SM myosin heavy chain. Also, we documented that iPS-derived SMCs acquired SMC functional characteristics including contraction and calcium influx in response to stimuli. Moreover, our results indicated that there were differences in SMC-specific gene expression patterns between SMCs derived from O9 and TT025 iPS as well as normal embryonic stem cells. These differences might be due to disparity in the current iPS technology. Taken together, our data have established a simple iPS-SMC system to generate SMCs in vitro, which has tremendous potential to generate individualized SMCs for vascular tissue engineering and personalized drug screening. | en_US |
