 低接着コーティングされた6ウェルプレート(AGCテクノグラス株式会社)1ウェルに、細胞培養液4を1.5mL滴下し、次いで201B7を1.3×10cells播種した。6ウェルプレートを37℃、CO濃度5%のインキュベーター内に設置したオービタルシェイカーに載せ、浮遊培養を実施した。培養を7日間継続し、実施例1に記載の手順と同様に、生細胞数の計測結果からPDLを算出した。PDLは、培養7日目において2.51であった。
(Suspension culture of 201B7)
1.5 mL of the cell culture medium 4 was dropped on one well of a low-adhesion coated 6-well plate (AGC Techno Glass Co., Ltd.), and then 1.3×10 5 cells of 201B7 were seeded. The 6-well plate was placed on an orbital shaker placed in an incubator at 37° C. and 5% CO 2 concentration to perform suspension culture. Cultivation was continued for 7 days, and PDL was calculated from the results of viable cell count in the same manner as in Example 1. PDL was 2.51 on day 7 of culture.
[実施例5]
 DMEM/F12をベースとする基準培地1.5mLに、4-フェニル酪酸(Sigma)10μMを添加し、細胞培養液5を調製した。4-フェニル酪酸の添加量は、1.6μg/mLであった。続いて、実施例4に記載の手順と同様に、浮遊培養を行い、生細胞数の計測結果から、PDLを算出した。PDLは、培養7日目において2.29であった。
[Example 5]
Cell culture medium 5 was prepared by adding 10 μM 4-phenylbutyric acid (Sigma) to 1.5 mL of DMEM/F12-based reference medium. The amount of 4-phenylbutyric acid added was 1.6 μg/mL. Subsequently, suspension culture was performed in the same manner as in Example 4, and PDL was calculated from the results of counting the number of viable cells. PDL was 2.29 on day 7 of culture.
[比較例3]
 DMEM/F12をベースとする基準培地1.5mLを細胞培養液として使用する以外は実施例4に記載の手順と同様に、浮遊培養を行い、生細胞数の計測結果から、PDLを算出した。PDLは、培養7日目において1.69であった。
[Comparative Example 3]
Suspension culture was performed in the same manner as in Example 4, except that 1.5 mL of a DMEM/F12-based reference medium was used as the cell culture medium, and PDL was calculated from the results of viable cell counts. PDL was 1.69 on day 7 of culture.
 実施例4及び5と比較例3のPDLの比較から、ジメチルオキサリルグリシン及び4-フェニル酪酸は、iPS細胞の増殖性向上に有効であるとの結論を得た。 From the comparison of PDL in Examples 4 and 5 and Comparative Example 3, it was concluded that dimethyloxalylglycine and 4-phenylbutyric acid are effective in improving the proliferation of iPS cells.
