Human embryonic stem (hES) cells are expected to be useful in the fields of regenerative medicine and tissue engineering due to their pluripotency. Therefore, it is necessary to establish highly efficient and reliable methods for the cryopreservation of hES cells. We have cryopreserved cynomolgus and human ES cells by the vitrification method, using a chemically-defined dimethyl sulfoxide (Me(2)SO)-free and serum-free medium composed of Euro-Collins solution as a base medium and 40% (v/v) ethylene glycol (EG) and 10% (w/v) polyethylene glycol (PEG) as cryoprotectants. When the vitrification and the cryoprotectants were combined, the recovery ratio of hES cells was 22.9+/-7.7%, compared to 0.4+/-0.2% when the conventional slow-freezing method was used. After the cryopreservation and thawing cycle, hES cells were easily cultured and expressed undifferentiated cell markers such as Nanog, Oct-4, SSEA-4, and alkaline phosphatase activity after several subculturing steps. We also found that the pluripotency of hES cells was maintained, as demonstrated by teratoma formation of ES cells transplanted into severe combined immunodeficient (SCID) mice. Thus, we conclude that we have successfully cryopreserved primate ES cells with high efficiency using a Me(2)SO-free, chemically-defined medium. |
