- rBC2LCN on the substrate allows one drop of the culture supernatant (corresponding to 1 ⁇ L) collected from the test cell medium to be placed on the lectin on the substrate surface without any purification step. It was found that differentiation status can be evaluated only by supplying. Specifically, rBC2LCN did not react with the culture medium of iPS cells cultured and differentiated in the presence of a control medium or retinoic acid, whereas it maintained an undifferentiated state in the absence of retinoic acid. The iPS cell culture supernatant reacted specifically.
- the undifferentiated sugar chain marker having the sugar chain structure of “Fuc ⁇ 1-2Gal ⁇ 1-3GlcNAc / GalNAc” is always secreted in the culture supernatant of undifferentiated cells.

Then, the reactivity with the protein that specifically binds to the undifferentiated sugar chain marker of the present invention is analyzed. The culture medium is generally replaced with a fresh culture medium every certain period (about 1 day). For this reason, the undifferentiated sugar chain marker is detected after the undifferentiated sugar chain marker is secreted in a detectable amount in the culture medium after replacement from undifferentiated cells or insufficiently differentiated cells.
- the time required until a detectable amount of undifferentiated glycan marker is eluted in the culture solution may vary depending on the cell type and culture conditions. Therefore, the time until the culture supernatant used for detection of the undifferentiated sugar chain marker after the culture medium exchange can be appropriately set depending on the cell type and culture conditions, and is, for example, about 18 to 30 hours. Usually, since the medium is changed every about 24 hours, it is preferable to use the culture supernatant discarded at that time.

- stem cells are cultured in the presence of retinoic acid to differentiate into nervous system cells.
- Various known methods such as a method and a method of forming epidermal cells using the NIH3T3 cell surface on which proliferation has been stopped as a base can be applied. Since the expression level of the undifferentiated sugar chain marker of the present invention on the differentiated cell surface is negligible, it is expected that the noise is extremely low under any differentiation induction condition.
- the culture supernatant is collected periodically or as needed or discarded when the medium is replaced. If the amount of undifferentiated sugar chain marker of the present invention is measured, it can be confirmed whether or not all the cells being stored are maintained in an undifferentiated state. For example, as a typical method for culturing stem cells in an undifferentiated state, there is a method of culturing on the surface of feeder cells such as mouse fibroblasts. At least once a day, the culture supernatant is removed and replaced with a fresh medium. Differentiation / undifferentiation determination can be performed using the culture supernatant removed and discarded.

1.本発明の培養上清で測定可能な未分化糖鎖マーカー
本発明の培養上清で検出可能な未分化糖鎖マーカー(以下、単に「未分化糖鎖マーカー」ともいう)は、「Fucα1-2Galβ1-3GlcNAc/GalNAc」すなわち「Fucα1-2Galβ1-3GlcNAc(Hタイプ1糖鎖)」又は「Fucα1-2Galβ1-3GalNAc(Hタイプ3糖鎖)」の糖鎖構造を有しており、ヒトES・iPS細胞の細胞表面に顕著に発現している、糖タンパク質及び糖脂質等の複合糖質である。なお、後述する実施例8では、この複合糖質の一つとしてポドカリキシン(podocalyxin)が同定されている。ポドカリキシンの糖鎖の構造には、「Fucα1-2Galβ1-3GalNAc(Hタイプ3糖鎖)」が含まれているものと予想された。
本発明の培養上清中の未分化糖鎖マーカーの「Fucα1-2Galβ1-3GlcNAc(式1)」又は「Fucα1-2Galβ1-3GalNAc(式2)」の検出用プローブとしては、一般にタンパク質プローブが用いられ、当該未分化糖鎖マーカーと特異的に結合するタンパク質であればどのようなものでも用いることができる。典型的には、本発明者らが見出した前記(式1)及び(式2)の両糖鎖構造を認識するレクチンであるBC2LCN又はその改変体が好ましく用いられるが(式1)又は(式2)のいずれかを認識するレクチンであっても用いることができる。
上記2.で述べたように、本発明において、未分化糖鎖マーカー(Hタイプ1糖鎖及び/又はHタイプ3糖鎖)、すなわち、(式1)又は(式2)の糖鎖構造を検出するためのプローブとしては、これらの糖鎖構造に結合特異性を示すタンパク質は全て使用することが可能であるが、これらタンパク質の中で最も好ましいレクチンは、本発明者らが以前見出した「rBC2LCN」であるので、以下「rBC2LCN」について説明する。
「配列番号1に示されるアミノ酸配列又は当該アミノ酸配列の1若しくは数個のアミノ酸が欠失、置換、挿入、若しくは付加されたアミノ酸配列を含み、「Fucα1-2Galβ1-3GlcNAc」又は「Fucα1-2Galβ1-3GalNAc」の糖鎖構造を特異的に認識するタンパク質。」
なお、ここで、数個とは20個以下、好ましくは10個以下、より好ましくは5個以下の自然数を表す。
(1)培養上清の採取方法
本発明では、未分化状態の幹細胞又は分化誘導後の細胞の培養上清をマイクロピペットなどで一定量採取し、本発明の未分化糖鎖マーカーに特異的に結合するタンパク質との反応性を解析する。培養液は一般に一定期間(約1日)毎に新鮮な培養液と交換する。このため、未分化糖鎖マーカーの検出は、未分化糖鎖マーカーが未分化細胞又は分化が不十分な細胞から交換後の培養液中に検出可能な量分泌された後に行う。培養液交換後、培養液中に検出可能な量の未分化糖鎖マーカーが溶出されるまでに要する時間は、細胞の種類や培養条件によって異なり得る。従って、培養液交換後、未分化糖鎖マーカーの検出に用いる培養上清を採取するまでの時間は、細胞の種類や培養条件によって適宜設定され得るが、例えば18~30時間程度とされる。通常は24時間程度毎に培地交換を行うので、その際に廃棄する培養上清を利用することが好ましい。
本発明の未分化糖鎖マーカーと特異的に結合するタンパク質であるレクチンや抗体等を標識化して、培養上清中に直接添加して標識の強さを計測することもできるが、好ましくはレクチンや抗体等を基板上に固定化して、培養上清を「Cy3-NHS ester」(GEヘルスケアバイオサイエンス社製)などで蛍光標識し、ELISA法やエバネッセント波励起蛍光型スキャナーを用いる方法等により検出、測定する。
本発明の未分化糖鎖マーカーの検出用プローブ、好ましくはBC2LCN又はその改変体を、下記(1)~(3)の手段と共にキット又は装置とすれば、未分化糖鎖マーカーの解析が可能なキット、又は装置となるから、幹細胞の分化状態の判別用キット又は装置とすることができる。なお、本発明の未分化糖鎖マーカーの検出用プローブは基板表面に固定化して用いることが好ましい。
(1)幹細胞の培養上清と接触させる手段;ただし、当該手段は手作業でも可能なので必須ではない。
(2)検出用プローブ若しくは培養上清を蛍光標識するための蛍光標識;ここで、「培養上清を蛍光標識する」というとき、培養上清中での検出対象である本発明の未分化糖鎖マーカーすなわち、「(式1)もしくは(式2)で表される糖鎖構造又は当該糖鎖構造含有物質」を蛍光標識することができる蛍光物質(例えば、「Cy3-NHS ester」)を意味する。
(3)蛍光標識を検出するための手段又は装置。
以下、本発明の典型的なレクチンであるrBC2LCNを用いた場合について主に述べるが、本発明はrBC2LCNのみに限定されないことは上記したとおりである。
本明細書において、対象となる被検細胞は、未分化状態にある「幹細胞」、又は当該細胞を分化誘導して種々の組織特異的に分化した細胞である。その際の「幹細胞」とは、未分化状態にある細胞を広く意味し、例えば、多能性幹細胞(胚性幹細胞:ES細胞)、造血幹細胞、神経幹細胞、皮膚組織幹細胞等の様々な体性幹細胞の他、体細胞に幹細胞特異的発現遺伝子などを導入して脱分化させた幹細胞(iPS細胞)も包まれる。また、ES細胞をはじめとする幹細胞はヒトに限らず哺乳動物ではかなりの部分で共通したしくみで制御されていると考えられるので、本発明の幹細胞としてはヒト以外の哺乳動物、例えばサル、ブタ、ウシ、ヤギ、ヒツジ、マウス、ラット由来の幹細胞を用いる場合にも適用できる。

以下、本発明に係るレクチン-レクチンサンドイッチ法について説明する。レクチン-レクチンサンドイッチ法は、「複合体形成手順」と「検出手順」とを含む。「複合体形成手順」は、糖鎖を有する検出対象物質と前記糖鎖に対して結合性を有するレクチン1及びレクチン2とを接触させて、レクチン1と検出対象物質とレクチン2とから構成される複合体(「レクチン1-検出対象物質-レクチン2」の複合体)を形成させる手順である。また、「検出手順」は、複合体形成手順で形成した「レクチン1-検出対象物質-レクチン2」の複合体を検出することにより、検出対象物質の検出を行う手順である。
複合体形成手順に用いるレクチン1及びレクチン2はいずれも検出対象物質が有する糖鎖の部分構造あるいは全体構造を認識し、結合するもの(結合性を有するもの)である。レクチン1が認識する糖鎖構造及びレクチン2が認識する糖鎖構造は、同一であってよいが、互いに異なっていることが好ましい。異なる糖鎖構造に結合するレクチン1及びレクチン2を用いることで、検出対象物質の検出特異性をより高めることができる。
原核細胞は、細胞内で合成したタンパク質に糖鎖を修飾する膜系構造を有さないため、原核細胞を宿主細胞として発現した組換型レクチン(リコンビナントレクチン)は、糖鎖を有さない。以下に説明するように、組換型レクチンは、一般的な遺伝子工学的手法を用いて簡便かつ低コストに大量生産が可能である。
DH5α, M15,HB101, C600, XL-1 Blue, JM109, JM105, JM127, XL1-Blue, VCS257, TOP10などを使用できる。また、よりプラスミドやファージDNAの導入効率の高い、コンピテントセル(Competent Cell)を用いても良い。コンピテントセルとしては、例えば、E. coli DH5α Competent Cell、E. coli
JM109 Competent Cells(タカラバイオ社製)等が挙げられる。
68, 326-331,1979参照)等により行うことができる。また、市販のCompetent Cellを用いる場合には、その製品プロトコールに従って形質転換を行えばよい。
改変型レクチンは、天然型レクチンを酸あるいは糖分解酵素で処理することによって得ることができる。
複合体形成手順において、検出対象物質とレクチン1及びレクチン2とを接触させる際、レクチン1とレクチン2は、同時に試料と反応させても良いし、順次に反応させてもよい。また、複合体形成手順は、不溶性担体を用いてB/F分離を行うヘテロジニアスな方法で行ってもよく、B/F分離を行わないホモジニアスな方法で行ってもよい。
複合体形成手順で形成された「レクチン1-検出対象物質-レクチン2」の複合体の検出は、例えば標識物質を用いた方法により行うことができる。標識物質としては、例えば、通常の免疫測定法等において用いられる酵素類、放射性同位元素、蛍光性物質、発光性物質、紫外部に吸収を有する物質、スピンラベル化剤としての性質を有する物質など、通常この分野で用いられている標識物質が全て挙げられる。

以上に説明したレクチン‐レクチンサンドイッチ法によれば、例えば複合糖質として糖タンパク質の検出を行う場合に、糖タンパク質が複数の糖鎖を有していれば、当該糖鎖に反応するレクチンを複数糖タンパク質に結合させることができる。また、糖タンパク質が一つの糖鎖しか有していない場合であっても、その一つの糖鎖にレクチンが反応する構造が複数存在してれば、当該レクチンを複数糖タンパク質に結合させることができる。これに対して、従来の抗体-抗体サンドイッチ法では、糖タンパク質の一つのエピトープに一つの抗体しか結合させることができない。このため、レクチン‐レクチンサンドイッチ法によれば、抗体-抗体サンドイッチ法に比して、糖タンパク質の検出感度を顕著に高めることができる。
Systems:μ-TAS、μ総合分析システム)への応用も可能である。
以下、複合糖質として、上述した幹細胞の培養上清中の未分化糖鎖マーカーを検出する場合を例に、レクチン‐レクチンサンドイッチ法をさらに具体的に説明する。ここでは、上記の実施形態例のうち「(2-2)不溶性担体に固定化されたレクチン1と、標識物質で標識した遊離のレクチン2を用いる方法2」に従った方法を、図1を参照しながら説明する。
まず、レクチンL1として組換型BC2LCN(以下「rBC2LCN」とも称する)が固定化された不溶性担体の固相表面S(図A参照)に培養上清を接触させ、反応を行う。rBC2LCNは、培養上清に検出対象物質Tとして含まれる、上記(式1)又は(式2)で示される未分化糖鎖マーカーが有する糖鎖構造G1(Fucα1-2Galβ1-3GlcNAc/GalNAc)に対して結合性を有する。従って、反応後の固相表面Sには、レクチンL1が糖鎖構造G1を介して検出対象物質Tと結合した複合体1が形成される(図B参照)。
次に、固相表面Sに形成された複合体1に、蛍光物質等により標識された遊離のレクチンL2を接触させ、反応を行う。前段手順として、固相表面Sに存在する夾雑物を取り除くための洗浄を行ってもよい。
最後に、蛍光検出等の標識物質の性質に応じた検出方法によってレクチンL2に標識された標識物質を検出することによって、固相表面S上に形成された複合体2を検出する。複合体形成手順において、レクチンL1及びレクチンL2の両方に糖鎖を有さない組換型レクチンを用いることで、本手順では、複合体2のみを高感度に検出することができる。
本発明にかかる糖鎖を有する検出対象物質の検出に用いられるキットは、前記糖鎖に対して結合性を有するレクチン1及びレクチン2を含むものであり、レクチン1及びレクチン2の少なくとも一つは糖鎖を有さないレクチンとされる。
また、各種の分析などは、使用した分析機器又は試薬、キットの取り扱い説明書、カタログなどに記載の方法を準用して行った。
なお、本明細書中に引用した技術文献、特許公報及び特許出願明細書中の記載内容は、本発明の記載内容として参照されるものとする。
なお、各実施例において、毎日新鮮な培養液に培地交換しながら、細胞を培養した。また、培地交換した際に得られた廃棄用の培養液を用いて、すなわち新鮮培養液に培地交換した後約24時間経過した培養液の培養上清を用いて、各検出を行った。
本実施例で用いるES細胞(KhES1株)は、京都大学再生医科学研究所幹細胞医学研究センターから分譲を受けた。Suemoriらの手法(非特許文献4参照)により培養した。細胞は4%パラホルムアルデヒドで固定し、PBSで洗浄した後、蛍光ラベル化(Cy3を結合)したrBC2LCNを加えて室温で1時間反応させた(図2,中段左。右は同じ細胞の核を染色したもの)。
実験例1と同様の方法で調製したES細胞(KhES1株)培養液中に、Draperらの方法(非特許文献5参照)に従って、終濃度10-5Mになるようにレチノイン酸を添加して培養することにより、ES細胞の分化誘導を行った。8日間培養したところ、細胞の形態からみて充分に分化が進んだことを確認して、蛍光標識したrBC2LCNを各細胞と反応させた(図3)。比較対象として、Tra1-60抗体を反応させた後、二次抗体であるanti-mouse IgM-Alexa488をさらに反応させた。図中、「+RA」の段は、レチノイン酸処理をして神経方向へ分化させた場合を示し、「-RA」の段は未処理の場合を示す。なお、図3右の「DAPI」は、同じ細胞の核をDAPIで染色した結果を示す。
この実験で用いたiPS細胞(201B7株、253G1株)は理化学研究所バイオリソースセンターから分譲を受けた。同TIGMKOS#19株は(独)産業技術総合研究所幹細胞工学研究センターにて樹立された(論文未発表)。Tatenoらの手法(非特許文献1参照)により培養した。約24時間培養した培養液を回収し、遠心分離により液性成分のみを分離し、培養上清を得た。
培養上清中の未分化糖鎖マーカーをより高感度に検出するため、スライドグラス上のrBC2LCN(レクチン1)に捕捉された未分化糖鎖マーカーに対して検出用レクチン(レクチン2)を結合させ、レクチン‐レクチンサンドイッチ法による検出を試みた。検出用レクチンには、ビオチン化rAALを用いた。
本実施例では、未分化糖鎖マーカーをレクチン‐レクチンサンドイッチ法により検出するために、捕捉用レクチンであるrBC2LCNとともに検出用レクチン(オーバーレイレクチン)として使用可能なレクチンのスクリーニングを行った。スクリーニング対象とした組換型レクチンを以下の「表1」に示す。
