Thus, the origin and procedure of isolation of thyroid stem cells still remain obscure. Recent TACA<\/a> reports have provided another clue to gain insight into source of primitive stem\/progenitor cells. In 2007, induced pluripotent stem cells were established from adult human fibroblasts by direct reprogramming with defined factors. Recently, not only reprogramming but also generating tissue stem\/progenitor cells has also been reported. Mani et al. have demonstrated that differentiated mammary epithelial cells can be converted into mammary tissue stem cells by introducing genes related to epithelial-mesenchymal transition. Moreover, cancer stem cells have also been generated from cancer cells or even from normal epithelial cells. These reports suggest that tissue stem\/ progenitor cells could be generated from mature and differentiated cells. In the present study, we present a novel culture system in which progenitor cells can be emerged and propagated from normal human thyroid follicular cells by dedifferentiation. We also demonstrate that the cells possess multilineage Tramiprosate<\/a> differentiation potential. In the present study, we have developed a novel system to trigger dedifferentiation of normal human thyroid follicular cells. We used a commercially available medium which allowed universal and reproducible procedure. We investigated the origin of the cells by analyzing expressions of STRO-1 and two intermediate filaments, cytokeratin-18 and vimentin. In our system, there were only two types of attached cells in terms of expression pattern of the above-mentioned markers after initial plating: cytokeratin-18\/vimentin double-positive cells and STRO- 1\/vimentin double-positive cells. Thyroid follicular cells coexpress cytokeratin-18 and vimentin, which is consistent with earlier studies. Cytokeratin-18\/vimentin-positive cells may also contain a small number of endothelial cells since several papers demonstrated expression of cytokeratin in microvascular endothelial cells in different tissues. Although both cytokeratin-18 and vimentin expressions were observed even in undifferentiated thyroid cancer cell lines, the cytokeratin-18 expression was lost in the SAGM-grown cells. All of thyroid-specific gene expressions were not observed in the cells. Moreover, the SAGM-grown cells displayed high plasticity: multilineage differentiation potential into thyrocytes, neuronal cells and adipocytes. These results suggest that we have successfully dedifferentiated\/converted thyroid follicular cells into multilineage progenitor cells. However, re-differentiation effects were modest compared to PT. We are currently seeking the better method enabling more efficient differentiation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
