Generation of Human Neutrophils from Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells in Chemically Defined Conditions Using ETV2 Modified mRNA

STAR Protoc. 2020 Sep 18;1(2):100075. doi: 10.1016/j.xpro.2020.100075. Epub 2020 Jul 27.

Abstract

This protocol describes a rapid and efficient feeder-, serum-, and xeno-free method for neutrophil generation from hiPSCs using ETV2 modified mRNA (mmRNA), which directs hematoendothelial programming of hiPSCs. Hematoendothelial progenitors were cultured with GM-CSF, FGF-2, and UM171 to expand myelomonocytic progenitors, followed by treatment with G-CSF and retinoic acid agonist Am580 to induce neutrophil maturation. This protocol is suitable for generating functional neutrophils from iPSCs to interrogate the role of genes in a neutrophil development and function. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Brok-Volchanskaya et al. (2019).
