Abstract

Ensuring genetic stability in pluripotent stem cell (PSC) cultures is essential for the development of successful cell therapies. Many laboratories have found the emergence of genetic abnormalities in PSCs when cultured in vitro for prolonged amounts of time. These cells are mostly cultured in non-physiological stiff substrates like tissue culture polystyrene which produces the suspicion that the cause of these abnormalities may be influenced by substrate mechanics. In order to verify this, it is important to be able to determine and image, using fluorescence microscopy, potential targets within the cells that are indicative of genetic abnormalities. These genetic abnormalities are most likely to occur during cell division. Microtubules, comprised of the cytoskeletal protein tubulin, organize and separate chromosomes during cell division, thus it has been our main imaging target. We have been able to detect chromosomal abnormalities in human embryonic stem cells by fluorescence microscopy.
