Abstract
To address the limitations of conventional strategies for differentiation human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) into homogeneous hepatocytes, a doxycycline-inducible GATA6-expressing hiPSC line was developed using the PiggyBac transposon system. This hiPSC line permitted temporal control of GATA6 expression, enabling synchronous differentiation into multilineage parenchymal and non-parenchymal liver cells within 18 days. The derived cells demonstrated mature hepatocyte-specific gene expression and sustained albumin secretion. This cell line provides a robust platform for generating functional 3D multilineage liver organoids, and offers new opportunities for mechanistic studies of liver disorders, disease modeling, and regenerative medicine.
