The invention provides for methods of differentiating pancreatic endocrine cells into pancreatic beta cells expressing PDX1, NKX6.1, MAFA, UCN3 and SLC2A. These pancreatic beta cells may be obtained by step-wise differentiation of pluripotent stem cells. The pancreatic beta cells exhibit glucose-dependent mitochondrial respiration and glucose-stimulated insulin secretion similar to islet cells.
本发明提供了将胰腺内分泌细胞分化成表达PDX1、NKX6.1、MAFA、UCN3和SLC2A的胰腺β细胞的方法。这些胰腺β细胞可通过多能干细胞的逐步分化获得。胰岛β细胞表现出与胰岛细胞相似的
葡萄糖依赖性线粒体呼吸和
葡萄糖刺激的
胰岛素分泌。
