Human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) exist in at least two distinct states of pluripotency: naïve and primed. While naïve hPSCs possess the unique ability to generate blastocyst-like structures, they are often genetically and epigenetically unstable, which compromises the quality and developmental potential of naïve hPSC-derived blastoids. This protocol presents an optimized human blastoid protocol through a transient resetting method that converts primed hPSCs into a naïve-like state, addressing the stability issues associated with long-term naïve hPSC maintenance. The approach is compatible with both feeder-free and feeder-based culture systems and demonstrates high efficiency in generating human blastoids directly from primed hPSCs. This advancement provides a more robust and reliable strategy for blastoid formation, circumventing the limitations of suboptimal naïve hPSC cultures.

摘要

Human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) exist in at least two distinct states of pluripotency: naïve and primed. While naïve hPSCs possess the unique ability to generate blastocyst-like structures, they are often genetically and epigenetically unstable, which compromises the quality and developmental potential of naïve hPSC-derived blastoids. This protocol presents an optimized human blastoid protocol through a transient resetting method that converts primed hPSCs into a naïve-like state, addressing the stability issues associated with long-term naïve hPSC maintenance. The approach is compatible with both feeder-free and feeder-based culture systems and demonstrates high efficiency in generating human blastoids directly from primed hPSCs. This advancement provides a more robust and reliable strategy for blastoid formation, circumventing the limitations of suboptimal naïve hPSC cultures.
