in vitro differentiation of mouse embryonic stem cells into functional neurons

Authors
abstract

introduction: embryonic stem (es) cells are pluripotent cells derived from inner cell mass of blastocyst. these cells can product any cell by spontaneous or directed differentiation. this study was started to produce neuron cells by directed differentiation of new murine es cell line in vitro. materials and methods: murine es cells (royan b1 derived from c57bl/6 strain) were used for in vitro neuron differentiation. after production of embryoid bodies from es cells, a highly enriched population of neuroepithelial precursor cells were derived from es cell proliferation in the presence of growth factors (egf and bfgf). these cells differentiate into both neurons and glia following withdrawal of growth factors and replacement of media. immunohistochemistry and electrophysiology were used for evaluation of differentiated neurons. results: antibodies raised against microtubule associated proteins (map2), glutamic acid decarboxylase (gad), and tyrosine hydroxylase (th) antigens revealed neuron cells with gabaergic and dopaminergic characteristics. also, the neurons produced action potentials and responsed to electrical stimulations. conclusion: embryonic stem cell of royan b1 can produce functional neuron cells in vitro, by directed differentiation.

Differentiation of human embryonic stem cells into neurons

Human embryonic stem (ES) cells are undifferentiated pluripotent cells derived from the inner cell mass of blastocyst stage embryos. These unique cell lines have the potential to form virtually any cell type in the body and can be propagated in vitro indefinitely in an undifferentiated state. These cells are capable of forming embryoid bodies (EB) that contain cells from all three embryonic lin...

Pancreatic Differentiation of Sox 17 Knock-in Mouse Embryonic Stem Cells in Vitro

The way to overcome current limitations in the generation of glucose-responsive insulin-producing cells is selective enrichment of the number of definitive endoderm (DE) progenitor cells. Sox17 is the marker of mesendoderm and definitive endoderm. The aim of the present research was to study the potential of Sox17 knock-in CGR8 mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells to differentiate into insulin produ...
