Induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells are of potential value not only for regenerative medicine, but also for disease investigation. The present study describes the development of a neutrophil differentiation system from human iPS cells (hiPSCs) and the analysis of neutrophil function and differentiation. The culture system used consisted of the transfer of hiPSCs onto OP9 cells and their culture with vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). After 10 days, TRA 1-85(+) CD34(+) VEGF receptor-2 (VEGFR-2)(high) cells were sorted and co-cultured with OP9 cells in the presence of hematopoietic cytokines for 30 days. Floating cells were collected and subjected to morphological and functional analysis. These hiPSC-derived neutrophils were similar to peripheral blood mature neutrophils in morphology, contained functional neutrophil specific granules, and were equipped with the basic functions such as phagocytosis, superoxide production, and chemotaxis. In the process of differentiation, myeloid cells appeared sequentially from immature myeloblasts to mature segmented neutrophils. Expression patterns of surface antigen, transcription factors, and granule proteins during differentiation were also similar to those of granulopoiesis in normal bone marrow. In conclusion, differentiation of mature neutrophils from hiPSCs was successfully induced in a similar process to normal granulopoiesis using an OP9 co-culture system. This system may be applied to elucidate the pathogenesis of various hematological diseases that affect neutrophils.

D005434 Flow Cytometry Technique using an instrument system for making, processing, and displaying one or more measurements on individual cells obtained from a cell suspension. Cells are usually stained with one or more fluorescent dyes specific to cell components of interest, e.g., DNA, and fluorescence of each cell is measured as it rapidly transverses the excitation beam (laser or mercury arc lamp). Fluorescence provides a quantitative measure of various biochemical and biophysical properties of the cell, as well as a basis for cell sorting. Other measurable optical parameters include light absorption and light scattering, the latter being applicable to the measurement of cell size, shape, density, granularity, and stain uptake.
