Abstract in Portuguese
Em 2006, Takahashi e colaboradores demonstraram ser possível a obtenção de células-tronco pluripotentes por indução gênica (induced pluripotent stem cells ou iPSCs). Desde o surgimento desta tecnologia diversos modelos animais foram gerados, ampliando as possibilidades de seu uso na pesquisa, como por exemplo, na criação de modelos para doenças genéticas humanas como esclerose lateral amiotrófica, autismo, esquizofrenia, doença de Parkinson e Alzheimer, além do aprimoramento de características relevantes para produção animal. O modelo suíno é considerado vantajoso sobre os outros modelos animais principalmente pela criação já bem estabelecida e similaridades fisiológicas com os humanos. O intuito deste projeto foi reprogramar fibroblastos embrionários suínos através do sistema integrativo à iPSCs, para então diferenciá-las em células progenitoras neurais (neural progenitor cells, NPCs). Para isso, os fibroblastos foram transduzidos com vetores contendo sequencias humanas ou murinas dos genes OCT4, SOX2, c-Myc e KLF4 (hOSKM ou mOSKM) para formação das iPSCs. Estas foram caracterizadas quanto a morfologia, presença de fosfatase alcalina, a expressão dos genes exógenos e endógenos (OSKM, HS OCT4, OCT4, NANOG) através de imunofluorescência e RT-qPCR e formação de corpos embrióides. Então foram submetidas durante 14 dias ao meio de indução neural sob matriz extracelular comercial, gerando células potencialmente similares às NPCs. Estas foram caracterizadas morfologicamente, por imunofluorescência das proteínas NESTINA, BETA TUBULINA III e VIMENTINA, além da expressão de NESTINA e GFAP por RT-qPCR. Foram produzidas com sucesso 3 linhagens de iPSC em diferentes estágios de reprogramação e células positivas para todos os marcadores neurais testados. Os resultados apresentados deverão contribuir para a utilização do modelo suíno em futuros estudos voltados à medicina regenerativa e translacional.

Abstract in English
In 2006, Takahashi and collaborators reported the induction into pluripotency of somatic cells (induced pluripotent stem cells, iPSCs). Since then, this technique has much been developed; many animal models have been created opening a new series of opportunities in research. They enable the creation of models for human genetic diseases, for example, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, autism, schizophrenia, Parkinson´s disease, Alzheimer´s disease and the enhancement of relevant characteristics in agriculture. The swine model is considered to present many advantages over others, including the well-known production and maintenance and physiological similarities to humans. The aim of this project was to reprogram porcine embryonic fibroblasts (pEF) into iPSCs using the lentiviral integrative system, followed by its differentiation into neural progenitor cells (NPCs). The cells were reprogrammed using vector containing either the human sequences (hOSKM) or the mouse sequences (mOSKM) for the OCT4, SOX2, c-Myc and KLF4 genes to form the iPSCs. They were characterized regarding the presence of the Alkaline Phosphatase enzyme, expression of exogenous and endogenous genes (OSKM, HS OCT4, OCT4, NANOG) through immunofluorescence and RT-qPCR, and embryoid body formation. Then, the cells were cultured with neural induction media for 14 days in commercial extracellular matrix, generating cells potentially like NPCs. Those were characterized regarding their morphology, immunofluorescence for NESTINA, BETA TUBULIN III and VIMENTINA and gene expression of NESTINA and GFAP. iPSCs were successfully reprogramed, generating 3 cell lines at different stages of reprograming and cells positive for all the neural markers tested were produced. The results shown will contribute to the use of the porcine model in future regenerative and translational medicine research.
