Endothelial cells (ECs) and endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) play crucial roles in maintaining vascular health and homeostasis. Both cell types have been used in regenerative therapy as well as in various in vitro models; however, the properties of primary human ECs and EPCs are dissimilar owing to differences in genetic backgrounds and sampling techniques. Human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) are an alternative cell source of ECs and EPCs. However, owing to the low purity of differentiated cells from hiPSCs, purification via an antigen-antibody reaction, which damages the cells, is indispensable. Besides, owing to limited expandability, it is difficult to produce these cells in large numbers. Here we report the development of relatively simple differentiation and purification methods for hiPSC-derived EPCs (iEPCs). Furthermore, we discovered that a combination of three small molecules, that is, Y-27632 (a selective inhibitor of Rho-associated, coiled-coil containing protein kinase [ROCK]), A 83-01 (a receptor-like kinase inhibitor of transforming growth factor beta [TGF-β]), and CHIR-99021 (a selective inhibitor of glycogen synthase kinase-3β [GSK3β] that also activates Wnt), dramatically stimulated protein synthesis-related pathways and enhanced the proliferative capacity of iEPCs. These findings will help to establish a supply system of EPCs at an industrial scale.
