Title Three-dimensional human placenta-like bud synthesized from induced pluripotent stem cells.
Journal Sci Rep
Abstract Placental dysfunction is related to the pathogenesis of preeclampsia and fetal growth restriction, but there is no effective treatment for it. Recently, various functional three-dimensional organs have been generated from human induced-pluripotent cells (iPSCs), and the transplantation of these iPSCs-derived organs has alleviated liver failure or diabetes mellitus in mouse models. Here we successfully generated a three-dimensional placental organ bud from human iPSCs. The iPSCs differentiated into various lineages of trophoblasts such as cytotrophoblast-like, syncytiotrophoblast-like, and extravillous trophoblast-like cells, forming organized layers in the bud. Placental buds were transplanted to the murine uterus, where 22% of the buds were successfully engrafted. These iPSC-derived placental organ buds could serve as a new model for the study of placental function and pathology.
