The present invention aims to provide a method for efficiently producing a cell mass containing pituitary tissue from pluripotent stem cells. A method for producing a cell mass containing pituitary tissue, including the following steps (1) and (2):
(1) a first step of suspension-culturing pluripotent stem cells to form a cell aggregate in the presence of a Wnt signal transduction pathway inhibiting substance,
(2) a second step of suspension-culturing the aggregate obtained in the first step in the presence of a BMP signal transduction pathway activating substance and a Sonic hedgehog signal transduction pathway activating substance, thereby obtaining a cell mass comprising pituitary tissue.
本发明旨在提供一种利用多能干细胞高效生产含有垂体组织的细胞团的方法。一种生产含有垂体组织的细胞团的方法,包括以下步骤(1)和(2):
(1) 第一步,在 Wnt 信号转导通路抑制物质的存在下,悬浮培养多能干细胞以形成细胞团、
(2) 第二步,在 BMP 信号转导通路激活物质和 Sonic hedgehog 信号转导通路激活物质存在的情况下,悬浮培养第一步中获得的聚集体,从而获得包含垂体组织的细胞团。
