In the present study, we investigated whether genetically marked human mesenchymal cells of gut mesentery may give rise to iPS cells. Methods: We used lentiviruses to express Oct4, Sox2, Nanog in mesenchymal cells of gut mesentery, then generated iPS cells were identified in many aspects including morphology, pluripotent markers, global gene expression profile, DNA methylation status at pluripotent cell-specific genes, embryoid bodies and terotomas formation. Results: The resulting iPS cells from mesenchymal cells of gut mesentery were similar to human embryonic stem (ES) cells in morphology, proliferation, surface antigens, gene expression, and epigenetic status of pluripotent cell-specific genes. Furthermore, these cells could differentiate into cell types of the three germ layers in vitro and in teratomas. DNA fingerprinting showed that the human iPS cells were derived from the donor cells and are not a result of contamination. one sample/variableE-GEOD-18180humanhttp://www.ebi.ac.uk/arrayexpress/experiments/E-GEOD-18180/samples/
