Cartilage Tissue
Cartilage Tissue
The invention relates to a method for producing cartilage from pluripotent stem cells (PSCs), the method comprising providing chondrocytes by: 1) providing pluripotent stem cells (PSCs); 2) inducing differentiation of the PSCs into a primitive streak/mesendoderm by culturing the PSCs in hypoxic conditions, in a (mesendodermic) culture media comprising: i) a Wingless/Integrated (WNT) family member, ii) an Activin family member, and iii) a Fibroblast Growth Factor (FGF) family member; 3) inducing differentiation of the primitive streak/mesendoderm into a mesoderm by culturing the primitive streak/mesendoderm in hypoxic conditions, in a (mesodermic) culture media comprising: i) a FGF family member, ii) a bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) family member, iii) Follistatin, and iv) a Neurotrophin (NT); and 4) inducing differentiation of the mesoderm into chondrocytes by culturing the mesoderm in hypoxic conditions, in a (chondroinductive) culture media comprising: i) a FGF family member, ii) a BMP family member, iii) a Neurotrophin, and iv) a Growth/Differentiation Factor (GDF) family member; and forming a pellet of the chondrocytes and culturing the pellet of the chondrocytes in a culture media under hypoxic conditions to produce the cartilage. The invention further relates to methods of chondrocyte production, synthetically produced cartilage, and use in therapy.

Abstract
The invention relates to a method for producing cartilage from pluripotent stem cells (PSCs), the method comprising providing chondrocytes by: 1) providing pluripotent stem cells (PSCs); 2) inducing differentiation of the PSCs into a primitive streak/mesendoderm by culturing the PSCs in hypoxic conditions, in a (mesendodermic) culture media comprising: i) a Wingless/Integrated (WNT) family member, ii) an Activin family member, and iii) a Fibroblast Growth Factor (FGF) family member; 3) inducing differentiation of the primitive streak/mesendoderm into a mesoderm by culturing the primitive streak/mesendoderm in hypoxic conditions, in a (mesodermic) culture media comprising: i) a FGF family member, ii) a bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) family member, iii) Follistatin, and iv) a Neurotrophin (NT); and 4) inducing differentiation of the mesoderm into chondrocytes by culturing the mesoderm in hypoxic conditions, in a (chondroinductive) culture media comprising: i) a FGF family member, ii) a BMP family member, iii) a Neurotrophin, and iv) a Growth/Differentiation Factor (GDF) family member; and forming a pellet of the chondrocytes and culturing the pellet of the chondrocytes in a culture media under hypoxic conditions to produce the cartilage. The invention further relates to methods of chondrocyte production, synthetically produced cartilage, and use in therapy.
