Trend of telomerase activity change during human iPSC self-renewal and differentiation revealed by a quartz crystal microbalance based assay

Abstract: Telomerase plays an important role in governing the life span of cells for its capacity to extend telomeres. As high activity of telomerase has been found in stem cells and cancer cells specifically, various methods have been developed for the evaluation of telomerase activity. To overcome the time-consuming procedures and complicated manipulations of existing methods, we developed a novel method named Telomeric Repeat Elongation Assay based on Quartz crystal microbalance (TREAQ) to monitor telomerase activity… Show more

“…Germ cells has high telomerase activity, while it disappears when they change into differentiated cells during differentiation [12]. Consistently, we have con rmed that the telomerase activities of hPSCs, human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (hBMSCs) and MG63 osteoblasts decreased successively [12]. Therefore, cell telomerase activity can be applied as one of the important quantitative markers to monitor the in vitro osteogenic differentiation process of hPSCs.…”

“…As we know, cell telomerase activity plays a key role in the self-renewal of cells, and it is gradually downregulated during embryonic development [9]. Germ cells has high telomerase activity, while it disappears when they change into differentiated cells during differentiation [12]. Consistently, we have con rmed that the telomerase activities of hPSCs, human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (hBMSCs) and MG63 osteoblasts decreased successively [12].…”

“…The telomerase activity of the cell samples throughout the osteogenic differentiation was quantitatively measured using a previously reported method based on a quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) [12]. Brie y, each of 1 million single cells was lysed in 150 ”L CHAPS lysis buffer for 30 min on ice.…”

“…Telomerase activity may thus be useful in assessing iPSC reprogramming efficiency and as a hallmark of non-transformed somatic cells, which should contain low telomerase expression and activity. 61 Moreover, upregulation of pluripotency genes is strongly connected with expression of TERT, the overexpression of which enhances reprogramming efficiency. 62,63 For example, porcine iPSCs can only maintain telomeres with continued expression of exogenous reprogramming factors to maintain TERT levels, 31 and partially reprogrammed mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs), and porcine embryonic fibroblasts (PEFs) show little TERT promoter activation and poor telomere elongation.…”
