The invention relates to the field of stem cell biology, and discloses a preparation method of natural killer cells differentiated from human pluripotent stem cells. The preparation method comprises the steps of S1, forming an embryoid body; S2, performing directional permanent hematopoiesis differentiation on the embryoid body to obtain hematopoietic precursor cells; and S3, differentiating the hematopoietic precursor cells to obtain natural killer cells. The invention also discloses application of the natural killer cell prepared by the method as a pharmaceutical composition for preventing and/or treating tumors by cells. According to the method, efficient and stable differentiation of the NK cells is achieved, EB adherent differentiation is achieved in the induced differentiation period, TGFB inhibitor treatment is prolonged, 10% or above of CD34+CD45+permanent hematopoietic HPCs can be obtained through rapid induction. The method has the advantages of being efficient, stable, low in cost and suitable for large-scale cell preparation production; and the method is easy and convenient to operate, the NK cells obtained through differentiation have typical NK cell surface marking molecules, the anti-tumor function of the NK cells is superior to that of the NK cells derived from umbilical cord blood, and great scientific research and clinical application potentials are achieved.

Immortalized human stromal cell lines sustain and expand human hematopoietic precursor cells. The precursor cells are obtained from a blood product and inoculated into a culture medium conditioned by exposure to a human stromal cell line. Preferred human stromal cell lines secrete SCF, LIF, MIP1α, and IL-6, as exemplified by a human stromal cell line designated HS-1. The conditioned culture medium may be supplemented with additional growth factors, such as interleukin-3. After expansion the human hematopoietic precursor cells are harvested and returned to a patient or frozen and stored. The immortalized human stromal cell lines can also be used as feeder layers in ex vivo bone marrow cultures or in colony forming assays.

The current disclosure describes methods of expanding precursor cells for hematopoietic transplantation in subjects. The methods culture precursor cells in media containing an immobilized high molecular weight LILRB2 agonist or an LILRB2 agonist in combination with a Notch agonist. The expanded cells can be used to treat a variety of hematopoietic disorders.

The invention discloses a method for preparing CD19-targeted chimeric antigen receptor NK cells from human pluripotent stem cells and application of the CD19-targeted chimeric antigen receptor NK cells. Specifically, the invention discloses the method for preparing CD19-CAR-NK cells, which comprises the following steps: directionally knocking a CD19-CAR gene and an EF1 alpha promoter into a human pluripotent stem cell genome AAVS1 region by utilizing a CRISPR/CAS9 system of a targeted AAVS1 site to obtain recombinant human pluripotent stem cells (CD19-CAR-hPSC), then inducing and culturing the CD19-CAR-hPSC to differentiate into embryoid bodies, sorting CD34+ hematopoietic precursor cells from hematopoietic precursor cells differentiated from the embryoid bodies, then directionally differentiating to the NK cells, and finally differentiating into the CD19-CAR-NK cells. The CD19-CAR-NK cells disclosed by the invention has higher multiplication capacity, higher purity and stronger anti-tumor capacity, and can be safely and effectively used for tumor immunotherapy.

The invention provides application of CD61 as a hematopoietic endothelial cell marker as well as a kit and a method for detecting hematopoietic endothelial cells. The kit comprises a reagent for specifically recognizing the CD61. In a hematopoietic differentiation process, the endothelial cells of CD61<+> have potency of generating hematopoietic precursor cells, namely the endothelial cells of the CD61<+> are hematopoietic endothelial cells. The kit and the method, for detecting the hematopoietic endothelial cells, provided by the invention have the effect of detecting the hematopoietic endothelial cells in the endothelial cells in the hematopoietic differentiation process quickly, sensitively and accurately.

Methods of differentiation of pluripotent stem cells into hematopoietic precursor cells, wherein the method is carried out under suspension agitation, and wherein a GSK-3-inhibitor or a Wnt pathway activator is added during a stage of mesoderm induction, and cell culture media for use in the methods, as well as kits for performing the same.

A method for detection of a precursor T cell or precursor B cell, a method for evaluation of the property of a hematopoietic precursor cell in a source for transplantation, and a kit for use in the evaluation are disclosed. A precursor T cell or precursor B cell can be detected by co-cultivating a stromal cell line with a monocyte. By using the detection method, a precursor T cell or precursor B cell can be quantified and can also evaluate the property of a hematopoietic precursor cell in a source for transplantation.
