Objective To develop an efficient freezing method suitable for large-scale cryopreservation of human embryonic stem cells (hESCs). Design Experimental study. Setting Research institute. Patient(s) None. Intervention(s) Two genetically modified hESC lines, H9-EF1-GFP and CHA-hES3-EF1-GFP, were cryopreserved in cryovials using a combination of two equilibration methods (one-step and stepwise) and two cooling vehicles (cryo-container and program-controlled freezer). After thawing, the survival and differentiation rate were compared among groups. Main Outcome Measure(s) The hESC survival was assessed by alkaline phosphatase staining and differentiation status was determined by flow cytometry using an SSEA-4 antibody. Result(s) In both H9-EF1-GFP and CHA-hES3-EF1-GFP cells, the survival rate was highest in the group using stepwise equilibration and program-controlled freezer, and lowest in the group using one-step equilibration and cryo-container. In the groups using cryo-container, the survival and the frequency of undifferentiated cells in both cell lines was highly improved in a stepwise equilibration compared with one-step. Thawed hESCs were positively stained with pluripotent markers SSEA-4, TRA-1-60, TRA-1-81, and alkaline phosphatase. The karyotypes and expression of three germ layer markers in both cell lines were not changed after freezing/thawing. Conclusion(s) The stepwise equilibration of Knockout Serum Replacement and cryoprotectant during freezing and thawing resulted in higher survival rates by reducing osmotic damage irrespective of cooling vehicles.
