Ice recrystallization inhibitors enable efficient cryopreservation of induced pluripotent stem cells: A functional and transcriptomic analysis
The successful use of human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) for research or clinical applications requires the development of robust, efficient, and reproducible cryopreservation protocols. After cryopreservation, the survival rate of iPSCs is suboptimal and cell line-dependent. We assessed t...

| description | The successful use of human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) for research or clinical applications requires the development of robust, efficient, and reproducible cryopreservation protocols. After cryopreservation, the survival rate of iPSCs is suboptimal and cell line-dependent. We assessed the use of ice recrystallization inhibitors (IRIs) for cryopreservation of human iPSCs. A toxicity screening study was performed to assess specific small-molecule carbohydrate-based IRIs and concentrations for further evaluation. Then, a cryopreservation study compared the cryoprotective efficiency of 15 mM IRIs in 5 % or 10 % DMSO-containing solutions and with CryoStor® CS10. Three iPSC lines were cryopreserved as single-cell suspensions in the cryopreservation solutions and post-thaw characteristics, including pluripotency and differential gene expression were assessed. We demonstrate the fitness-for-purpose of 15 mM IRI in 5 % DMSO as an efficient cryoprotective solution for iPSCs in terms of post-thaw recovery, viability, pluripotency, and transcriptomic changes. This mRNA sequencing dataset has the potential to be used for molecular mechanism analysis relating to cryopreservation. Use of IRIs can reduce DMSO concentrations and its associated toxicities, thereby improving the utility, effectiveness, and efficiency of cryopreservation. |
