    摘要: The present disclosure provides an in vitro method for preparation of human pluripotent stem cells (HPSCs) from human adipocyte-derived stem cells (ADSCs) without any genetic engineering techniques and without involving any exogenous gene elements, plasmid or transcription factors and the so obtained HPSCs are referred to as directly-generated human pluripotent stem cells (dgHPSCs). The present invention further provides an in vitro method for insulin production from the dgHPSCs by means of single- or co-transduction with human estrogen-related receptor gamma (ERRγ) gene by the lentivirus vector pWPI/ERRγ encoding the human ERRγ gene and/or with human insulin (INS) gene by a lentivirus vector, pWPI/INS encoding the human INS gene, where the insulin secreted by such co-transduced cells is higher than singly transduced cells. The present invention also provides an in vitro method for insulin production in a glucose-concentration responsive manner involving single transduction of the dgHPSCs with the human ERRγ gene.
