    摘要: The present invention relates to a method and substance for maintaining the pluripotency and self-replication ability of a stem cell, such as a hematopoietic stem cell, while keeping it undifferentiated. Specifically, the present invention provides a composition for maintaining the expansion or pluripotency of a stem cell, comprising active STAT5, and a method using the same. STAT5 may be in the form of a protein or a nucleic acid. The composition may contain a cellular physiologically active substance (e.g., SCF, TPO, Flt-3L, etc.). The present invention also relates to a cell, a tissue and an organ prepared from the stem cell.

    摘要: The present invention provides clonal pluripotent hepatic stem cells using flow cytometry and in vitro single-cell-based assays. These cells possess multilineage differentiation potential and self-renewing capability. These cells could be clonally propagated in culture, where they continuously produced hepatocytes and cholangiocytes as descendants while maintaining primitive stem cells. When cells that expanded in vitro were transplanted into recipient animals, they morphologically and functionally differentiated into hepatocytes and cholangiocytes, with reconstitution of hepatocyte and bile duct structures. Furthermore, these cells differentiated into pancreatic ductal and acinar cells or intestinal epithelial cells when transplanted into pancreas or duodenal wall. These data indicate that self-renewing multipotent stem cells persist in the developing mouse liver and that such cells can be induced to become cells of other organs of endodermal origin under appropriate microenvironment. Manipulation of hepatic stem cells may provide new insight into therapies for diseases of the digestive system.
