Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An object of this invention is to provide a method, etc., for efficiently proliferating a pluripotent epithelial somatic stem cell. A method for producing an epithelial somatic stem cell comprising Steps (A) and (B) below: (A) expressing a gene of a protein having an activity for causing a cell in G0 phase or G1 phase to enter S phase, in a cell population including an epithelial somatic stem cell; and (B) culturing the cell obtained in Step (A) in the presence of an extracellular growth factor.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method for producing an epithelial somatic stem cell, comprising: (A) expressing a gene of a protein having an activity for causing a cell in G0 phase or G1 phase to enter S phase, in a cell population comprising an epithelial somatic stem cell; and (B) culturing the cell obtained in the Step (A) in the presence of an extracellular growth factor, wherein the protein is a cyclin-dependent kinase, and wherein the cell population is a hepatic cell population. 2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the expression is transient expression. 3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein Step (A) and Step (B) are repeated at least twice. 4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the protein is at least one protein selected from the group consisting of cyclin-dependent kinase 4 and cyclin-dependent kinase 6. 5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the cell population is a primary-cultured somatic cell population. 6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the extracellular growth factor is a hepatocyte growth factor (HGF). 7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the protein is at least one protein selected from the group consisting of cyclin-dependent kinase 1, cyclin-dependent kinase 2, cyclin-dependent kinase 3, cyclin-dependent kinase 4, cyclin-dependent kinase 6, and cyclin-dependent kinase 7.
