Example 3
We generated and analyzed a collection of 14 early-passage (passage ≤9) human pES cell lines for the persistence of haploid cells. All cell lines originated from activated oocytes displaying second polar body extrusion and a single pronucleus. We initially utilized chromosome counting by metaphase spreading and G-banding as a method for unambiguous and quantitative discovery of rare haploid nuclei. Among ten individual pES cell lines, a low proportion of haploid metaphases was found exclusively in a single cell line, pES10 (1.3%, Table 1B). We also used viable FACS with Hoechst 33342 staining, aiming to isolate cells with a DNA content corresponding to less than two chromosomal copies (2c) from four additional lines, leading to the successful enrichment of haploid cells from a second cell line, pES12 (Table 2).
Two individual haploid-enriched ES cell lines were established from both pES10 and pES12 (hereafter referred to as h-pES10 and h-pES12) within five to six rounds of 1c-cell FACS enrichment and expansion (
Both h-pES10 and h-pES12 exhibited classical human pluripotent stem cell features, including typical colony morphology and alkaline phosphatase activity (
Haploid cells are valuable for loss-of-function genetic screening because phenotypically-selectable mutants can be identified upon disruption of a single allele. To demonstrate the applicability of this principle in haploid human ES cells, we generated a genome-wide mutant library using a piggyBac transposon gene trap system that targets transcriptionally active loci (
