| Abstract | Human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) are considered to be able to stably maintain their characteristics in vitro for prolonged periods, but we had previously encountered changes in proliferative ability and differentiation potential during extended culture of hESCs. Therefore, we investigated the proliferative ability and differentiation potential of hESCs during long-term culture. The hESCs, SNUhES3, were used to analyze population-doubling time, proliferation rate and differentiation potential. We classified hESCs into three groups according to culture period. Ten colonies of hESCs for each group were daily measured colony area and population-doubling time was assessed by the changes of colony area. Proliferation rate of hESCs was measured by 5-bromo-2'-deoxyuridine (BrdU) assay and telomerase activity. To evaluate differentiation potentials for hESCs, expression levels of undifferentiated and/or differentiated hESCs markers were examined by FACS, RT-PCR and immunostaining. Population-doubling time of early passage hESCs was longer than those of middle or late passage. Proliferative ability of hESCs was accelerated depending on culture periods. Cellular morphologies and the expression level of each three germ layer markers were obviously different from each passage of reattached embryoid bodies (EBs) after spontaneous differentiation. Differentiated cells of late passage expressed higher levels of undifferentiated markers such as Oct4 and SSEA4 than those of early and middle passage. But differentiated cells of early and middle passage expressed higher level of differentiated state markers, Nestin (ectoderm), Brachyury (mesoderm), HNF3β (endoderm). From these results, it can be inferred that hESCs show higher proliferative abilities and reduced differentiation potentials as the passage number increased. Therefore, we conclude that early passage hESCs could be more suitable than middle and late passage hESCs in differentiation studies. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
