Abstract
Obtaining functional human cells through interspecies chimerism with human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) remains unsuccessful due to its extremely low efficiency. Here, we show that hPSCs failed to differentiate and contribute teratoma in the presence of mouse PSCs (mPSCs), while MYCN, a pro-growth factor, dramatically promotes hPSC contributions in teratoma co-formation by hPSCs/mPSCs. MYCN combined with BCL2 (M/B) greatly enhanced conventional hPSCs to integrate into pre-implantation embryos of different species, such as mice, rabbits, and pigs, and substantially contributed to mouse post-implantation chimera in embryonic and extra-embryonic tissues. Strikingly, M/B-hPSCs injected into pre-implantation Flk-1+/- mouse embryos show further enhanced chimerism that allows for obtaining live human CD34+ blood progenitor cells from chimeras through cell sorting. The chimera-derived human CD34+ cells further gave rise to various subtype blood cells in a typical colony-forming unit (CFU) assay. Thus, we provide proof of concept to obtain functional human cells through enhanced interspecies chimerism with hPSCs. hPSCs undergo severe apoptosis when differentiated together with mESCs MYCN overcomes apoptosis of hPSCs in co-differentiation with mESCs MYCN plus BCL2 largely enhance interspecies chimera efficiency of hPSCs Obtaining functional human HPCs through enhanced interspecies chimerism with hPSCs
