Mesothelial cells, which cover the surface of visceral organs and serous cavities in mammals, play a crucial role in preventing adhesion. We previously reported that primary mesothelial progenitor cells (MPCs) can not only prevent postoperative adhesion but also promote liver regeneration after hepatectomy. Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) have the potential to be used for regenerative medicine. Here, we have established a differentiation protocol for mouse iPSC-derived MPCs (miMPCs) via the exposure to defined factors, as well as purification using MPC-specific cell surface antigens. Furthermore, the miMPCs had the ability to suppress postoperative adhesion and facilitate liver regeneration. This is the first report highlighting the generation of functional miMPCs, which may offer potential for de novo cell therapy.
