| Popis: | Tankyrase/PARP inhibitor-regulated naïve human pluripotent stem cells (TIRN-hPSC) represent a new class of human stem cells for regenerative medicine that can differentiate into multi-lineage progenitors with improved in vivo functionality. Chemical reversion of conventional, primed hPSC to a TIRN-hPSC state alleviates dysfunctional epigenetic donor cell memory, lineage-primed gene expression, and potentially disease-associated aberrations in their differentiated progeny. Here, we provide methods for the reversion of normal or diseased patient-specific primed hPSC to TIRN-hPSC and describe their subsequent differentiation into embryonic-like pericytic-endothelial “naïve” vascular progenitors (N-VP). N-VP possess improved vascular functionality, high epigenetic plasticity, maintain greater genomic stability, and are more efficient in migrating to and re-vascularizing ischemic tissues than those generated from primed isogenic hPSC. We also describe detailed methods for the ocular transplantation and quantitation of vascular engraftment of N-VP into the ischemia-damaged neural retina of a humanized mouse model of ischemic retinopathy. The application of TIRN-hPSC-derived N-VP will advance vascular cell therapies of ischemic retinopathy, myocardial infarction, and cerebral vascular stroke. |
