The present invention provides a pluripotent stem cell comprising a co-expression vector in which Runx1 and Hoxa9 are of in tandem, and a T cell differentiated therefrom and application thereof. In the present invention, Pluripotent stem cells inducibly co-expressing exogenous Runx1 and Hoxa9 are successfully established by introducing an exogenous vector co-expressing Runx1 and Hoxa9 into pluripotent stem cells. The pluripotent stem cells are directionally differentiated into T-lineage progenitor cells and will be developed into T cells. The pluripotent stem cell-derived T cells obtained by the method of the present invention are not only functionally normal but also have no tumorigenic risk.

Pluripotent stem cell and T cell differentiated therefrom and application thereof

The present invention relates to a method for inducing the transdifferentiation of B lymphoid cells into T lymphoid cells using transcription factor Hoxb5, and related products and applications thereof. The method of the present invention specifically comprises: introducing Hoxb5, a nucleic acid molecule encoding Hoxb5 or a construct comprising the nucleic acid molecule into the B lymphoid cells to obtain the B lymphoid cells with overexpressed Hoxb5; then implanting the obtained B lymphoid cells into the body of a subject to obtain regenerated T cell progenitor cells by way of transdifferentiation, and then the T cell progenitor cells differentiate into mature T cells with functions. The regenerated T cells obtained using the method of the present invention are not only functionally normal, but also show no risk of tumorigenesis or extremely low risk of tumorigenesis.
