Abstract
Description
近年、心筋梗塞の発生率は減少してきてはいるものの、心筋梗塞を含む心疾患は世界中で依然として主な死亡原因である。重症心不全患者においては、心臓移植が現在唯一の治療法であるが、心臓移植はドナー不足という問題を抱えている。そこで、心筋細胞を用いた細胞治療が、心疾患を改善させる治療法として注目されてきている。また、心筋細胞を用いたインビトロでの薬効評価試験、あるいは薬剤安全性試験の確立にも着目されている。そのため、細胞治療やインビトロでの試験に用いることのできる均一な心筋細胞の安定的な供給が求められている。

国立大学法人京都大学iPS細胞研究所(CiRA)で作製された臨床用iPS細胞株の評価用株を使用した。iPS細胞株の維持培養は従来法に準じて行った(Okita K,et al.Stem Cells.2012 Nov 29.doi:10.1002/stem.1293)。心筋細胞への分化誘導は、論文(Miki et al,Cell Stem Cell.2015 Jun 4;16.doi:10.1016/j.stem.2015.04.005.)に記載の方法に準じて行った。分化誘導開始後22日目の心筋細胞について10XGenomics社のChromiumを用いてシングルセルRNA sequence解析を行った。ソフトウェア(Cellranger、Seurat、Loupe Cell Browser)により細胞のクラスタリングと各クラスタの解析を行った。iPS細胞から心筋細胞に分化誘導した細胞集団中には、sarcomeric-α-actininとcardiac Troponin Tを発現する心筋細胞集団の他に、sarcomeric-α-actininとcardiac Troponin Tを発現しない3つの非心筋細胞集団(遺伝子発現から平滑筋様の細胞(SMC)、内皮様の細胞(EC)、内胚葉系譜の細胞(END)と考えられる)が、存在していることを見出した(図1)。
シングルセルRNAシークエンシングデータのLoupe Cell Browserによる解析で受容体型チロシンキナーゼの遺伝子発現の解析を行った。その結果、PDGFRA、PDGFRB、VEGFR1、VEGFR2、c-Met(HGFR)、FGFR4等の受容体型チロシンキナーゼの遺伝子発現が非心筋細胞集団において高く、心筋細胞集団では高くないことを見出した(図2)。
TNNI1の遺伝子座にEmGFP(配列番号1)、TNNI3の遺伝子座にmCherry(配列番号2)のレポータータンパク質の配列を挿入したダブルノックインのヒトiPS細胞株を作製した。ヒトiPS細胞株の作製はCTL社より購入したPBMC(LP_167,Sample ID:20130318)を用いてエピソーマルベクター(搭載遺伝子;OCT3/4,KLF4,SOX2,L-MYC,LIN28,mouse p53DD)により行った(参考文献;Okita K,et al.Stem Cells.2012 Nov 29.doi:10.1002/stem.1293)。
心筋細胞への分化誘導は論文(Miki et al,Cell Stem Cell.2015 Jun 4;16.doi:10.1016/j.stem.2015.04.005.)に記載の方法に準じて6 well plateで行った。簡潔に説明すれば、心筋細胞への分化誘導は、レポーターiPS細胞株を0.5mM EDTA/PBSで1/2に希釈したTrypLE select(ライフテクノロジーズ)で4~5分処理後、セルスクレーパー(IWAKI)で細胞を剥離し、ピペッティングによりシングルセルへと解離した。1,000rpm,5minの遠心分離により培地を除去し、得られた細胞を、6ウェルプレート1ウェルあたり2×106cells播種して、StemPro34培地に1%L-グルタミン、トランスフェリン150μg/mL、アスコルビン酸50μg/mL(sigma)、モノチオグリセロール4×10-4M、10μM Y-27632、2ng/mL BMP4(R&D)および0.5%Growth Factor Reduced Matrigelを添加した培地1.5mL/wellで、37℃、5%酸素条件下にて培養して、胚様体を形成させた(0日目)。
翌日(1日目)、StemPro34培地に1%L-グルタミン、トランスフェリン150μg/mL、アスコルビン酸50μg/mL(sigma)、モノチオグリセロール4×10-4M、2ng/mL BMP4(R&D)アクチビンA 12ng/mL、bFGF 5ng/mL、BMP4 18ng/mLを加えた培地を各ウェルに1.5mL添加し、37℃、5%酸素条件にてさらに2日間培養した。
続いて(3日目)、6ウェルプレートを傾けて静置して胚様体を沈降させ、培地の80~90%除去した後、各ウェルにIMDMを1.5mL添加した。再びウェルプレートを傾けて静置して胚様体を沈降させ、培地の80~90%除去した後、StemPro34培地に1%L-グルタミン、トランスフェリン150μg/mL、アスコルビン酸50μg/mL(sigma)、モノチオグリセロール4×10-4M、10ng/mL VEGF、1μM IWP-3、0.6μM Dorsomorphinおよび5.4μM SB431542を添加した培地中で、37℃、5%酸素条件下で、3日間培養した。
続いて(6日目)、6ウェルプレートを傾けて静置して胚様体を沈降させ、培地の80~90%除去した後、1%L-グルタミン、トランスフェリン150μg/mL、アスコルビン酸50μg/mL(sigma)、モノチオグリセロール4×10-4Mおよび5ng/mL VEGFを添加したStemPro34培地を添加した。8日間、37℃、5%酸素条件下で培養した。この間、2~3日に1度同じ条件の培地に交換した。
上記のシングルセル懸濁液を、200xgで5分間遠心後、上清を除去し、-80℃で凍結保存した。
凍結保存した細胞を、37℃の温浴につけて融解し、400xgで5分間遠心後、上清を除去した。
細胞ペレットをタッピング後、1%BSAを含むPBSを1mL加え、300xgで3分間遠心し、上清を除去した。1%BSAを含むPBSでAPCFire750標識抗CD326抗体、PE標識抗CD49a抗体、BV605標識抗CD31抗体、DAPIを用いて染色した。DAPI陽性の死細胞を除去した上で、核細胞の各蛍光色素のシグナル量を測定することで、細胞集団の分離と各細胞集団の割合を測定した。
上記レポーターiPS細胞から心筋に分化誘導した心筋細胞は、これらの3つの表面マーカーの発現の違いにより、CD326陽性細胞、CD326陰性CD31陽性細胞、CD326陰性CD31陰性CD49a陽性細胞、CD326陰性CD31陰性CD49a陰性細胞の主に4つの細胞集団に分離された。4つの細胞集団は、これら3つの表面マーカーのいずれかまたは複数を発現する、3つの非心筋細胞を主とする集団(心筋レポーター遺伝子を発現しない細胞を多く含む集団)と、3つのマーカー全てが陰性の心筋細胞集団(心筋レポーター遺伝子を発現する細胞集団)であった。3つのマーカー全てが陰性の細胞集団については、その99%以上が、心筋細胞(心筋レポーター遺伝子を発現する細胞)であった(図3)。
以下の試験例1~9において、化合物AとはN-[5-({2-[(シクロプロパンカルボニル)アミノ]イミダゾ[1,2-b]ピリダジン-6-イル}オキシ)-2-メチルフェニル]-1,3-ジメチル-1H-ピラゾール-5-カルボキサミドであり、化合物BとはN-{4-[(6,7-ジメトキシキノリン-4-イル)オキシ]-3-フルオロフェニル}-N’-(4-フルオロフェニル)シクロプロパン-1,1-ジカルボキサミドを表す。
<心筋細胞への分化誘導>
ヒトiPS細胞株は、CTL社より購入したPBMC(LP_167,Sample ID:20130318)を用いてエピソーマルベクター(搭載遺伝子;OCT3/4,KLF4,SOX2,L-MYC,LIN28,mouse p53DD)により作製された(参考文献;Okita K,et al.Stem Cells.2012 Nov29.doi:10.1002/stem.1293)細胞株(細胞表面マーカーによる非心筋細胞の染色で使用したレポーター細胞の親株)を使用した。
iPS細胞株の維持培養は従来法に準じて行った(Okita K,et al.Stem Cells.2012 Nov 29.doi:10.1002/stem.1293)。心筋細胞への分化誘導は論文(Miki et al,Cell Stem Cell.2015 Jun 4;16.doi:10.1016/j.stem.2015.04.005.)に記載の方法に準じて6 well plateで行った。VEGFについてはDay8以降は添加せずに実施した。
分化誘導8日目に、胚様体を1つの遠心チューブに集め室温で数分間静置して胚様体を沈降させ、上清をアスピレーターで取り除き、培地を添加することで、培地交換を実施した。胚様体懸濁液を6 well plateに移し、最終濃度の100倍濃度の評価化合物(以下の表1に示す実験番号2から8の化合物と濃度)を各ウェルに100分の1量添加後、プレートを攪拌し、細胞培養を行った。
上記のシングルセル懸濁液を1.5mLチューブに分注後、400gで3分間遠心し、上清を除去した。細胞ペレットをCytofix/Cytoperm Fixation/Permeabilization Solution(BD)に再懸濁して室温で15分静置し、固定した。各チューブに1xPerm/Wash Buffer 1mLを添加し、1500gで3分間遠心後、上清を除去することで細胞を洗浄した。細胞ペレットをタッピング後に、1xPerm/Wash Buffer 1mLを添加し、同様の操作を行うことで細胞を洗浄した。細胞ペレットはタッピング後、1%BSA を含む1xPerm/Wash Bufferで抗Sarcomeric α-actinin抗体を用いて、蛍光色素Alexa647で染色後、さらにDAPI(4’,6-Diamidino-2-phenylindole Dihydrochloride)でDNA染色を行った。フローサイトメーターによる測定で、死細胞(DNA量がSub-G1の細胞)を除いた細胞集団のAlexa647の蛍光シグナル量を測定することで、Sarcomeric α-actinin陽性の細胞率の解析を行った。その結果、化合物A(N-[5-({2-[(シクロプロパンカルボニル)アミノ]イミダゾ[1,2-b]ピリダジン-6-イル}オキシ)-2-メチルフェニル]-1,3-ジメチル-1H-ピラゾール-5-カルボキサミド)、AMG337、ASP5878、BGJ398処理により、化合物未処理に比べ心筋細胞率(Actinin陽性細胞率)が増加した(図4)。
未凍結のシングルセル懸濁液を用いて、細胞表面マーカーによる非心筋細胞の染色に準じて、染色、測定、解析を実施した。その結果、化合物A、AMG337、ASP5878、BGJ398処理により、化合物未処理に比べ、非心筋細胞率(CD326、CD31、CD49aいずれかが陽性の細胞率)が減少した(図5)。
