<細胞及び培養>
ヒトiPS細胞をドーパミン産生神経前駆細胞へ分化誘導するためのプロトコールを図1に示す。分化誘導開始まで拡大培養(day -7~0)、分化誘導開始から12日目まで(day 0~12)の第一分化段階、及び、分化誘導開始後12日目~28日間(day 12~28)第二分化段階における培養条件は、それぞれ図1に示されている。なお、ソーティングは分化誘導開始後12日目(day12)に行われた。
このiPS細胞を、Miyazaki T et al.,Nat Commun.3:1236,2012の記載に準拠した方法で培養した。すなわち簡潔には、Laminin511E8でコーティングされた6ウェルプレート上にてFGF2(bFGF)を含む未分化維持培地(AK03N)により、iPS細胞を維持培養した。
0.1μM LDN193189及び3μM CHIR99021を含有する基本培地Aでの培養から5日後、すなわち分化誘導開始後12日目(day12)、TrypLE CTSを用いて細胞を解離し、2%FBS、30μM Y-27632(WAKO)、20mM Dグルコース及び50μg/ml ペニシリン/ストレプトマイシン)を含有するCa2+Mg2+-free HBSS(Invitrogen)へ懸濁させた。上記の抗Corin抗体を添加し、4℃で20分間インキュベートし、蛍光活性化セルソーティング(FACS)を行い、Corin陽性細胞を回収し、種々の解析を実施した。
尚、抗Corin抗体は以下の方法で作製した。カニクイザルCorin遺伝子のうち、細胞外領域の一部(79-453アミノ酸)をコードする遺伝子配列を293E細胞に導入して、Corinタンパク質の細胞外領域断片を発現させて回収した。回収したタンパク質をマウスに免疫したのち、リンパ球細胞を取り出してミエローマ細胞とフュージョンさせた。フュージョンさせた細胞集団より、Corinに反応性を持つクローンを選択した。このクローンの培養上清を抗Corinモノクローナル抗体として蛍光ラベルを施した後に用いた。
<ソーティング>
FACSのためのセルソーターとして、Stream-In-Air方式の機種であるBD社のFACSJazz(商標)、又はマイクロ流路方式の機種であるCytonome社のGigasortを用いた。Corin陽性細胞を回収し、種々の解析を実施した。
FACSJazz(商標)の場合、ソーティング条件は、一般に神経細胞のセルソーティングに用いられるノズル径100μm、シース圧力は29 PSIである。また、Gigasortの場合、ソーティング条件はメーカー標準の流路内径約200μm、シース圧力は14-20PSIである。
回収したCorin陽性細胞をPrimeSurface 96Uプレート(住友ベークライト)に20000個/ウェルにて移し、基本培地B(B-27(商標)Supplement minus vitamin A(Invitrogen)、20ng/mL BDNF(WAKO)、10ng/mL GDNF(WAKO)、200mM Ascorbic acid(WAKO)及び0.4mM dbcAMP(Sigma)を添加したNeurobasal(登録商標)medium(Invitrogen))を用いて浮遊培養した。この時、最初の培地としては、30μMのY-27632を添加した培地を用いたが、3日に一度、半量ずつ培地を交換した際には、Y-27632を添加しない培地を用いた。ソーティングから16日後(分化誘導終了:day28)まで浮遊培養を実施してドーパミン産生神経前駆細胞を分化誘導した。この期間に、顕微鏡を用いて培養4日毎に浮遊培養細胞凝集体の撮影を行った観察像を図2に示す。
Day28にて表1に記載の数の細胞凝集体を、マイクロピペッターを用いて96ウェルU底プレートから培地ごと回収し、細胞凝集体が自重で沈殿するのを待った。上清培地を除去し、PBS 1mLを添加して、細胞凝集体が自重で沈殿するのを待った。上清を除去し、神経細胞分散キットの酵素液1mLを添加して37℃水浴でインキュベートした。10分おきにピペッティングし、インキュベート開始から30分経過した時点で細胞懸濁液を10μL採取し、トリパンブルー(Thermo Fisher Scientific)10μLと混合して血球計算盤に注入した。顕微鏡下で細胞数を計測した。その結果を表1の「酵素液中」の欄に示す。また、トリパンブルー非陽性細胞数/全細胞数を算出し、細胞の生存率とした。次に、神経細胞分散キットの分散液、除去液を加えて遠心した。上清除去した後、PBS 1mLで再懸濁し、10μLをトリパンブルー(Thermo Fisher Scientific)10μLと混合して血球計算盤に注入した。顕微鏡下で細胞数を計測した。その結果を表1の「洗浄後[血球計算盤]」の欄に示す。また再懸濁したサンプルを自動セルカウンター(chemometec,NC-200)により測定した。その結果を表1の「洗浄後[NC-200]」の欄に示す。
Day28にて48個の細胞凝集体を、マイクロピペッターを用いて96ウェルU底プレートから培地ごと回収し、6cm低接着ディッシュ(住友ベークライト)に移した。デジタルマイクロスコープ(キーエンス;VHX-5000)を用いて透過照明により細胞凝集体を撮影し、図3の画像を得た。視野内にGigasortにより選別された細胞の細胞凝集体は47個(B)、Jazzにより選別された細胞の細胞凝集体は48個(A)であった。
Day28にて細胞数計測用に酵素液添加後に分散した細胞に、分散液及び除去液を加えて遠心した。上清を除去し、PBSで再懸濁し、Live/Dead試薬(Thermo Fisher Scientific)、Foxa2(R&D)/Alexa647-anti-goat(Thermo Fisher Scientific)、Alexa488-Tuj1(BD)、Alexa647-Oct3/4(BD)、FITC-TRA2-49(Millipore)、PerCP-Cy5.5-Sox1(BD)、Alexa647-Pax6(BD)、Alexa488-Ki67(BD)で染色した。フローサイトメーターGallios(ベックマンコールター)を用いて、細胞懸濁液に含まれる全細胞に対する、FOXA2陽性かつTUJ1陽性の細胞、FOXA2陽性細胞、又はTUJ1陽性細胞の割合を算出した(表2)。Jazz及びGigasortのいずれを用いた場合でも、FOXA2及び/又はTUJ1マーカーの陽性率が高く、また、多能性マーカーであるOCT3/4及び/又はTRA-2-49の陽性率が低かった。
Day28にて10個の細胞凝集体を、マイクロピペッターを用いて96ウェルU底プレートから培地ごと回収し、細胞凝集体が自重で沈殿するのを待った。上清培地を除去し、PBS 1mLを添加して自重で沈殿するのを待った。上清を除去した後、PFAにて細胞凝集体を固定し、OCTコンパウンドで包埋及び凍結した。次いで、クライオスタット(Leica)を用いて細胞凝集体を10μmに薄切し、切片をスライドガラスに張り付けた。ブロッキングバッファー(2%正常ロバ血清、0.3%TritonX100/PBS)によりブロッキングを行い、抗Nurr1マウスIgG抗体(ペルセウスプロテオミクス)、抗Foxa2ヤギIgG抗体(R&D systems)、及び抗THウサギIgG抗体(Millipore)で一次染色、Alexa488標識抗マウス抗体、Alexa594標識抗ヤギ抗体、Alexa647標識抗ウサギ抗体、及びDAPI(全てThermo Fisher Scientific)で二次染色を行った。VECTASHIELD Hard setで染色後の切片を封入し、共焦点顕微鏡(Olympus FV1200)で観察した(図6)。
