Cholinergic Differentiation of neural precursor cells derived from mouse embryonic stem cells increased by Shh, LIF and RA
Authors
Abstract:
Introduction Cholinergic system is one of the important systems of mammalian CNS. Cholinergic neurons distributed in brain and spinal cord and contributed to principal functions like: consciousness, learning and memory, and motor control. In this study we investigated the differentiation potentiality of mouse embryonic stem cells toward cholinergic neurons. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of sonic hedgehog (Shh), Retinoic Acid (RA), LIF, IL6 and NGF on differentiation of neural progenitor cells (NPCs), produced by lineage selection method, to cholinergic neurons. Material and methods Royan B1, mouse embryonic stem cells derived from C57BL/6 strain was used to produce aggregates. Aggregates were cultured in serum free medium to produce nestin positive or NPCs, then cell expansion was achieved by treatment with EGF and FGF2. Following withdrawal of EGF and FGF2, the cells were further cultured in presence or absence of differentiation factors in serum containing medium. Relative number of neurons and cholinergic neurons were assessed by immunohistochemical procedure using antibodies against MAP2, B-tubulin3, and ChAT. Results Data obtained show that around 70% of cells were B-tubulin3 positive. We found ChAT immunoreactivity in cultured cells in both treated and control groups. Conclusion This study shows that some of the neurons produced by lineage selection method are cholinergic neurons, and the percentage of cholinergic neurons increased after treatment by Shh, LIF and RA.

Introduction: The p19 line of embryonal carcinoma cells develops into neurons, astroglia and fibroblasts after aggregation and exposure to retinoic acid (RA). Dehydroepiandroesteron (DHEA) is a neurosteroid, can increase proliferation of human neural stem cell (NSC) and positively regulated the number of neurons produced. This study was initiated to assess the effect of DHEA on neural progenito...

The extract of pluripotent stem cells induces dedifferentiation of somatic cells with restricted plasticity. In this study, we used the extract of human embryonic stem cells (hESC) to dedifferentiate adipose tissue-derived stem cells (ADSCs) and examined the impact of this reprogramming event on dopaminergic differentiation of the cells. For this purpose, cytoplasmic extract of ESCs was prepare...

Fezf2 regulates telencephalic precursor differentiation from mouse embryonic stem cells.
The mechanisms by which transcription factors control stepwise lineage restriction during the specification of cortical neurons remain largely unknown. Here, we investigated the role of forebrain embryonic zinc finger like (Fezf2) in this process by generating Fezf2 knockdown and tetracycline-inducible Fezf2 overexpression mouse embryonic stem cell (mESC) lines. The overexpression of Fezf2 at e...
