Embryonic stem cell-derived L1 overexpressing neural aggregates enhance recovery in Parkinsonian mice.
Parkinson's disease is the second most common neurodegenerative disease, after Alzheimer's disease, and the most common movement disorder. Drug treatment and deep brain stimulation can ameliorate symptoms, but the progressive degeneration of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra eventually leads to severe motor dysfunction. The transplantation of stem cells has emerged as a promising app...
متن کاملThe generation of dopaminergic neurons by human neural stem cells is enhanced by Bcl-XL, both in vitro and in vivo.
Progress in stem cell biology research is enhancing our ability to generate specific neuron types for basic and applied studies and to design new treatments for neurodegenerative diseases. In the case of Parkinson's disease (PD), alternative human dopaminergic (DAergic) neurons other than primary fetal tissue do not yet exist. One possible source could be human neural stem cells (hNSCs), althou...
متن کاملAxonal growth regulation of fetal and embryonic stem cell-derived dopaminergic neurons by Netrin-1 and Slits.
The physical restoration of dopamine circuits damaged or lost in Parkinson disease by implanting embryonic stem (ES)-derived cells may become a treatment. It is critical to understand responses of ES-derived dopamine (DA) neurons to guidance signals that determine axonal path and targeting. Using a collagen gel culture system, we examined effects of secreted molecules Netrin-1 and Slits on neur...
متن کاملDkk1 Regulates Ventral Midbrain Dopaminergic Differentiation and Morphogenesis
Dickkopf1 (Dkk1) is a Wnt/β-catenin inhibitor that participates in many processes during embryonic development. One of its roles during embryogenesis is to induce head formation, since Dkk1-null mice lack head structures anterior to midbrain. The Wnt/β-catenin pathway is also known to regulate different aspects of ventral midbrain (VM) dopaminergic (DA) neuron development and, in vitro, Dkk1-me...
متن کاملLiver X receptors and oxysterols promote ventral midbrain neurogenesis in vivo and in human embryonic stem cells.
Control over progenitor proliferation and neurogenesis remains a key challenge for stem cell neurobiology and a prerequisite for successful stem cell replacement therapies for neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson's disease (PD). Here, we examined the function of two nuclear receptors, liver X receptors (Lxralpha and beta) and their ligands, oxysterols, as regulators of cell division, ventr...
