Descrizione

Descrizione generale

Various methods utilizing viruses, DNA, RNA, miRNA and protein have been developed to generate integration-free induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). Disadvantages to existing methods include: (1) low reprogramming efficiency (i.e. DNA and protein), (2) a lengthy requirement for negative selection and subcloing steps to remove persistent traces of the virus (i.e. Sendai virus)1 and (3) daily transfections of cells using four synthetic mRNAs over a 14 day period (i.e. mRNA based).

EMD Millipore′s Simplicon^® OKSG-cMyc RNA uses a safe and efficient method to generate integration- and virus-free human iPSCs using a single transfection step. The technology utilizes a single self-replicating Venezuelian equine encephalitis (VEE) RNA species that expresses reprogramming factors (RF) ORFs3. The Simplicon RNA replicon is a synthetic polycistronic VEE-RF RNA expressing five reprogramming factors (OKSG-cMyc; Oct4, Klf4, Sox2, Glis1 and cMyc), capable of self-replicating in a limited number of cell divisions. The 5-factor OKSG-cMyc Simplicon is especially useful for iPSCs generation from somatic cells that are more difficult to reprogram (i.e. slower proliferating cells or aged somatic cells).

Applicazioni

Advantages of the Simplicon^® OKSG-cMyc RNA:

• Integration-free, footprint-free iPSCs generation. No risk of genomic integration.
• Safe, virus-free, synthetic polycistronic RNA replicon (all five reprogramming factors in a single RNA strand)
• Only one single transfection required. The RNA replicon is able to self-replicate, eliminating the need for additional daily transfections of multiple individual mRNAs over a 14-day period.
• Efficient and rapid reprogramming.
• No screening required to ensure the absence of viral remnants.
• Controlled elimination of synthetic VEE RNA replicon by the removal of B18R protein.
• Validated for reprogramming in feeder-free and feeder-based culture conditions.

Componenti

1. VEE-OKSG-cMyc RNA: (Part No. CS221303) One (1) vial containing 10 L of RNA (1 ug/uL). Store at -80°C.

2. B18R-E3L RNA: (Part No. CS224503) One (1) vial containing 10 L of RNA (1 ug/uL). Store at -80°C.

Qualità

Tested to confirm the generation of iPS cells from p6 human foreskin fibroblasts. Other cell types have not been tested and thus similar results can not be guaranteed.

Stoccaggio e stabilità

VEE-OKSG-cMyc and B18R RNAs: Stable for 4 months from date of receipt when stored appropriately at -80°C. For best recovery, quick-spin the vial after thawing on ice and prior to opening. Aliquot into sterile, nuclease-free eppendorf tubes on ice and store at -80°C. Limit repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Use in a sterile RNase-free environment.
