Abstract

This report describes the use of late-outgrowth endothelial progenitor cells (L-EPCs), as a cellular substrate for the generation of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). A protocol was developed that allows the reliable isolation of L-EPCs from peripheral blood mononuclear cell preparations, including frozen samples. L-EPCs grew clonally, were proliferative, were bankable, and had karyotypes representative of their donor. L-EPCs reprogrammed to iPSCs with good efficiencies and the iPSCs had karyotypes representative of the L-EPCs used to generate them. This work identifies L-EPCs as a practical and efficient cellular substrate for iPSC generation, with the potential to address many of the factors currently limiting the translation of this technology.
