- the megakaryocyte cells include pre-multinucleated megakaryocytes, multinucleated megakaryocytes, and mature megakaryocytes.
- the "platelet production capacity" can be comparatively examined, for example, by culturing approximately the same number of megakaryocyte cells using megakaryocyte cells at approximately the same stage of differentiation, maturation or culture.
- the "platelet production capacity" is, for example, the ratio of the number of platelets (P) after the platelet production step to the number of multinucleated megakaryocytes (M) at the start of platelet production (P / M ratio).
- P the ratio of the number of platelets
- M multinucleated megakaryocytes
- the improvement of the platelet-producing ability of the multinucleated megakaryocytes does not suppress the activity of AhR, ROCK, DYRK, and myosin 2, and in the absence of harmin, the megakaryocyte cells before multinucleation It means that the P/M ratio of multinucleated multinucleated megakaryocytes is significantly high.
- the number of multinucleated megakaryocytes at the start of platelet production is the number of immortalized megakaryocytes when forced expression of the gene is released.
- the above description of the P/M ratio can be used in place of the number of spheres (M).
- platelet is one of the cell components in blood and means a cell component positive for CD41a and CD42b.
- the platelets for example, do not have cell nuclei and are small in size compared to the megakaryocytes. Therefore, the platelets and the megakaryocytes can be distinguished, for example, by the presence or absence and/or size of cell nuclei.
- the platelets are known to play an important role in thrombus formation and hemostasis, as well as being involved in post-injury tissue regeneration and the pathophysiology of inflammation.
- integrin ⁇ IIB ⁇ 3 glycoprotein IIb/IIIa; complex of CD41a and CD61
- the platelets aggregate with each other, and fibrin is coagulated by various blood coagulation factors released from the platelets, thereby forming a thrombus and promoting hemostasis.
- the origin of the platelets is the same as the origin of the megakaryocytes.
- the physiological activity of platelets can be evaluated by a known method.
- the physiological activity of platelets can be evaluated, for example, by using an antibody against PAC-1 that specifically binds to integrin ⁇ IIB ⁇ 3 on activated platelet membranes, and the amount of activated platelets.
- the platelet physiological activity may be evaluated by, for example, detecting CD62p (P-selectin), which is a platelet activation marker, with an antibody and evaluating the amount of activated platelets.
- CD62p P-selectin
- the platelet physiological activity is measured by, for example, flow cytometry, gating with an antibody against the activation-independent platelet marker CD61 or CD41, and then detecting the binding of an anti-PAC-1 antibody or an anti-CD62p antibody. It may be implemented by These platelet physiological activity assessments may be performed in the presence of adenosine diphosphate (ADP).
- ADP adenosine diphosphate
- the physiological activity of platelets may be evaluated, for example, by looking at whether or not they bind to fibrinogen in the presence of ADP. Binding of the platelets to fibrinogen results in the activation of integrins required early in thrombus formation. Furthermore, the physiological activity of platelets may be performed by a method of visualizing and observing in vivo thrombus forming ability, for example, as shown in FIG. 6 of WO2011/034073.
- high functionality means, for example, that the physiological activity of platelets measured by any of the above methods is significantly higher than that of platelets obtained by conventional methods. , tend to be higher, or have a physiological activity equivalent to that of platelets isolated from living organisms.
- high functionality means, for example, that the physiological activity of platelets measured by any of the methods described above is 50% or more, 60% or more compared to the physiological activity of platelets isolated from a living body. , 70% or more, 80% or more, or 90% or more.
- the platelets for example, when the platelet CD42b expression rate is low, or when the annexin V positive rate is low, it can be evaluated as degraded or abnormal (hereinafter also referred to as "deterioration"). That is, the physiological activity of the platelets can be evaluated as low. Therefore, the lower the ratio of degraded platelets in the produced platelets, the higher the physiological activity of the produced platelets. In addition, degraded platelets, for example, do not have sufficient thrombus forming function (blood coagulation function) and hemostatic function, and are of low clinical utility.
- the "platelet deterioration” refers to, for example, a decrease in CD42b (GPIb ⁇ ) on the platelet surface. That is, degraded platelets include, for example, platelets with decreased expression of CD42b and platelets in which the extracellular region of CD42b has been cleaved by the shedding reaction. Without CD42b on the platelet surface, the platelets are unable to associate with, for example, von Willebrand factor (VWF), resulting in loss of the platelets' blood clotting function. Deterioration of the platelets can be evaluated, for example, using the CD42b negative rate (or CD42b negative particle count) relative to the CD42b positive rate (or CD42b positive particle count) in the platelet fraction as an index.
- VWF von Willebrand factor
- the platelets can be evaluated as degraded.
- the CD42b positive rate means the rate of platelets to which an anti-CD42b antibody can bind among the platelets contained in the platelet fraction.
- the CD42b negative rate means the ratio of platelets to which anti-CD42b antibody does not bind among the platelets contained in the platelet fraction.
- Abnormal platelets in the present invention refer to platelets in which, for example, phosphatidylserine, which is a negatively charged phospholipid, is exposed from the inside to the outside of the lipid bilayer. It is known that in vivo, phosphatidylserine is exposed on the surface of platelets upon platelet activation, and many blood coagulation factors bind to the surface, thereby amplifying the blood coagulation cascade reaction. On the other hand, in the abnormal platelets, for example, a large amount of phosphatidylserine is always exposed on the surface. Serious conditions such as coagulation syndrome may be induced.
- the phosphatidylserine on the platelet surface can be detected using a flow cytometer, for example, using the amount of fluorescence-labeled annexin V bound as an index. Therefore, the amount of abnormal platelets can be evaluated, for example, by the annexin V positive rate in the platelet fraction, ie, the percentage or number of platelets to which annexin V binds. As a specific example, the higher the annexin V positive rate or the higher the number of annexin V particles, the more abnormal platelets can be evaluated.
- the pre-multinucleated megakaryocytes can be induced, for example, from cells that are less differentiated than megakaryocytes (also referred to as "progenitor cells of pre-multinucleated megakaryocytes"). Therefore, the method for producing multinucleated megakaryocytes of the present invention may include, for example, a megakaryocyte induction step of inducing pre-multinucleated megakaryocytes from cells undifferentiated from megakaryocytes prior to the multinucleation step. For the medium, culture conditions, etc. used in the megakaryocyte induction step, for example, the description of the polynucleation step described later can be used.
- the "cells that are undifferentiated from megakaryocytes” mean cells that have the ability to differentiate into megakaryocytes.
- the cells undifferentiated from the megakaryocytes for example, hematopoietic stem cells, hematopoietic progenitor cells, CD34-positive cells, megakaryocyte-erythroid progenitor (MEP), megakaryocyte progenitor cells, etc. can give.

- iPS cells induced pluripotent stem cells
- ntES cells nuclear transplanted ES cells
- germinal stem cells somatic stem cells
- embryonic tumor cells embryonic tumor cells
- other pluripotent cells or pluripotent stem cells pluripotent stem cells.

- the megakaryocyte induction step for example, infinitely proliferating immortalized megakaryocytes corresponding to megakaryocytes before multinucleation can be obtained.
- the immortalized megakaryocytes can be induced to become multinucleated megakaryocytes and platelets can be produced. Therefore, the immortalized megakaryocytes correspond to megakaryocytes before multinucleation.

- the platelet production step described later for example, by canceling the forced expression of the immortalized megakaryocytes, the immortalized megakaryocytes mature and the platelets are produced.
- the oncogene, the polycomb gene, and the apoptosis suppressor gene may be forcedly expressed.
