El medio Essential 6 es un medio sin alimentación ni xenógenos que admite la reprogramación de células somáticas y la diferenciación espontánea o dirigida de células madre pluripotentes (PSC) humanas. Además, el medio Essential 6 se puede utilizar como base para medios personalizados para el cultivo de PSC. La formulación se basa en un medio desarrollado originalmente por Guokai Chen et al. (1) en el laboratorio de James Thomson y publicado como «E6». Con solo seis componentes esenciales, el medio Essential 6 ayuda a minimizar la variabilidad. Para completar su flujo de trabajo con un medio de cultivo PSC de variabilidad reducida compatible desarrollado por el mismo laboratorio, utilice el medio Essential 8.

El medio Essential 6 permite:
Diferenciación: no contiene bFGF, que inhibe la diferenciación
Reprogramación: no contiene TGFβ, que tiene un efecto negativo en la eficacia de la reprogramación
Flexibilidad: proporciona un formato flexible que permite ajustar los niveles de TGFβ y bFGF y añadir componentes adicionales para adaptarse a una aplicación determinada

Diferenciación
A diferencia de otros medios utilizados en el cultivo de PSC, el medio Essential 6 no contiene bFGF ni TGFβ. Como tal, el medio esencial 6 puede fomentar la formación de cuerpos embrioides. También se ha utilizado como base para la diferenciación dirigida de varios tipos de células en los linajes endodérmicos, mesodérmicos y ectodérmicos (2), incluidas las neuronas motoras (3).

Reprogramación
El medio Essential 6 permite la reprogramación definida y sin alimentación cuando se utiliza con bFGF. La formulación admite la reprogramación de células somáticas mediante diversos métodos, incluidos los vectores episomales (4) y CytoTune (virus Sendai), y está optimizada para ayudar a garantizar la máxima salud celular y pluripotencia con una variabilidad mínima.

Flexibilidad
El medio Essential 6 es un medio sin componentes xenobióticos que solo contiene los componentes básicos necesarios para el cultivo de células madre, sin bFGF ni TGFβ. Esto proporciona un medio basal que maximizará salud y pluripotencia de las células, al mismo tiempo que permite ajustar los niveles de TGFβ y bFGF y añadir componentes adicionales para adaptarse a una aplicación determinada.

Preguntas frecuentes

Can I store Gibco Essential 6 Medium (Cat. No. A1516401) at -20 degrees C?

We do not recommend freezing our liquid media products. Freezing can cause some components like amino acids and inorganic salts to precipitate upon thawing.

Is it possible to reprogram somatic cells using Essential 7 or Essential 8 medium and transition them into StemFlex Medium upon harvest?

Yes. If improved reprogramming efficiency is required, then you may utilize Essential 7 (Essential 6 + bFGF) or Essential 8 Medium for reprogramming somatic cells and directly transition them into StemFlex Medium system upon colony selection.

When should I use the full length Human FGF-basic (FGF-2/bFGF) Recombinant Protein or the truncated variant, Human FGF-basic (FGF-2/bFGF) (aa 10-155) Recombinant Protein?

The full length Human FGF-basic (FGF-2/bFGF) (aa 1-155) Recombinant Protein is recommended for stem cells whereas the truncated variant, Human FGF-basic (FGF-2/bFGF) (aa 10-155) Recombinant Protein which is missing the first 9 amino acids, is recommended for use with neural and cardiac cells.

What are induced pluripotent stem cells?

Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPS or iPSCs) are pluripotent stem cells directly generated by introducing combination of genes coding for “reprogramming factors” into adult cells. These reprogramming factors include Oct4, Sox2, c-Myc, KLF4, NANOG, and LIN28. Yu, et al, generated iPS from a human mesenchymal cell line using lentiviral vectors carrying Oct4, Sox2, NANOG, and LIN28 genes (Science 318:1917 (2007)). Using a similar approach, Takahashi et al, generated iPS from human primary fibroblast cells by introducing genes coding for Oct3, Sox2, KLF4, and c-Myc into these cells (Cell 131:861 (2007)). iPS generated by reprogramming are similar to human ES cells in morphology, the capacity for unlimited proliferation, surface-antigen expression, gene expression, the ability to differentiate into cell types representing the three germ layers in vitro, and the ability to form teratomas after injection into SCID mice.
