Abstract
Various culture conditions by small molecules have been explored to extend pluripotency of stem cells, but their impacts on cell fate in vivo remain elusive. We systematically compared the effects of various culture conditions on the pluripotency and cell fate in vivo of mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs) by tetraploid embryo complementation assay. Conventional ESC cultures in serum/LIF-based condition produced complete ESC mice and also the survival to adulthood at the highest rates of all other chemical-based cultures. Moreover, long-term examination of the survived ESC mice demonstrated that conventional ESC cultures did not lead to visible abnormality for up to 1.5-2 years, whereas the prolonged chemical-based cultures developed retroperitoneal atypical teratomas or leiomyomas. The chemical-based cultures exhibited transcriptomes and epigenomes that typically differed from those of conventional ESC cultures. Our results warrant further refinement of culture conditions in promoting the pluripotency and safety of ESCs in future applications.
