Abstract
Provided is a megakaryocyte and/or platelet production method, enabling to produce a megakaryocyte and/or platelet from mesenchymal cells such as preadipocytes in a relatively short period of time, simply, in a large amount and at lower cost or more efficiently in vitro and a method for producing TPO simply and in a larger amount. A first invention is a method for producing a megakaryocyte and/or platelet, comprising culturing a mesenchymal cell in a mesenchymal cell culturing basic medium containing an iron ion and an iron transporter and collecting megakaryocytes and/or platelets from a culture. A second invention is a method for producing thrombopoietin, comprising culturing a mesenchymal cell or mesenchymal cell-derived megakaryocyte in a mesenchymal cell culturing basic medium containing an iron ion and an iron transporter and collecting thrombopoietin from a culture. A third invention is a method for producing thrombopoietin, comprising culturing a preadipocyte in a preadipocyte culturing basic medium containing dexamethasone, 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine and insulin and collecting thrombopoietin from a culture.
