概要 Mesenchymal stromal cell (MSC) is well known as a multipotent progenitor for osteogenic, chondrogenic and adipogenic lineage, and is also found in skeletal muscles. Recent studies reported that although they normally act as supportive cells on skeletal muscle homeostasis with producing collagen VI, they are also the responsive cells for fibrosis and fatty degeneration in diseased muscle. Moreover, mutations of Col6 genes, which are specifically expressed in MSC but not in muscle, cause a severe muscle disorder, Ullrich congenital muscular dystrophy (UCMD). Therefore, we assumed that collagen VI positive MSC could be a cell source of cell therapy for UCMD. However MSC isolated from adult tissues are quite limited in expansion. To overcome such hurdle, we plan to use iPSC-derived MSC for future cell therapy of UCMD. In this symposium, I’ll introduce our recent results which demonstrate that human iPSC-derived MSC could ameliorate the phenotype of UCMD model mice (COL6KO/NSG).
