Abstract: | Induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells have attracted worldwide interest. However, there have been only a few studies investigating effective culture substrates for feeder-free culturing for the maintenance of iPS cells. In this study, we cultured mouse iPS cells under feeder-free conditions on carbon nanotube (CNT)-coated dishes and then evaluated the colony morphology and differentiation state of the cells on the dishes. After 5 d of cultivation in a medium containing 15% fetal bovine serum (FBS) and leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF), the colonies on thick films of multi-walled CNTs (MWCNTs) were observed to be hemiround; further, the cells expressed early undifferentiation markers. On the other hand, the colonies on a cell culture polystyrene dish and a collagen-coated polystyrene dish showed indistinct outline and spread well, and most spreading cells only weakly expressed early undifferentiation markers. These results indicate that the thick films of MWCNTs could maintain hemiround colonies and undifferentiated state of mouse iPS cells cultured under feeder-free conditions. |
