الوصف: Due to the limited regenerative capacity of mature cardiomyocytes, cardiac cell therapies constitute an exciting strategy for myocardial repair. However, there is limited understanding of the spatio-temporal distribution and survival of transplanted cells. Hence, there is demand for technologies enabling long-term non-invasive tracking of transplanted cellular therapeutics. Sodium-iodide symporter (NIS)-based in vivo imaging has many potential advantages, including predicted safety and immunotolerance due to reliance on an endogenous species-specific gene and on widely available imaging technologies. We believe that non-human primates represent ideal models for investigating the biology of allogenic or autologous cellular grafts, because of close physiologic similarity to humans. We report the development of NIS-based in vivo imaging to detect and track rhesus induced pluripotent stem cell (RhiPSC)-derived teratomas as a proof-of-concept model tested in mice, and characterization of NIS-positive RhiPSC (NIS-RhiPSC)-derived cardiomyocytes (CM). NIS-RhiPSCs were generated by CRISPR/Cas9-mediated integration of the rhesus NIS cDNA within the AAVS1 safe harbor locus. NIS was stably expressed and radiotracer uptake by NIS-RhiPSCs was demonstrated in vitro . To evaluate viability of NIS-mediated imaging in RhiPSCs, undifferentiated NIS-RhiPSCs were introduced intramuscularly into immunodeficient mice, and NIS imaging was performed via PET/CT at 2, 4, and 6-weeks post-injection. NIS-positive teratomas were readily detectable as early as 2 weeks post-injection, prior to development of any palpable mass. Using our previously established differentiation protocol, NIS-RhiPS-CMs were derived with high purity, exhibited spontaneous beating in culture, and were similar in all aspects to parental RhiPS-CMs. NIS-RhiPS-CMs maintained stable NIS expression that was comparable to undifferentiated NIS-RhiPSCs, suggesting that in vivo imaging of transplanted NIS-RhiPS-CMs should be feasible. Further functional characterization of ...
