Abstract:

Introduction: To evaluate the cAMP -mediated IBMX (3-IsoButyle -1-Methyl Xanthin) and db-cAMP (dibutyryl cAMP) effects on differentiation of human Embryonic Stem Cells (hESCs) into nerve cells were the objectives of this study. Methods: We have used Royan H1 hESC- derived embryoid bodies with four treatment groups: six days treatment with IBMX (5×10 -4M) and db-cAMP (10 -9M) (referred to as cAMP), retinoic acid (RA, 10 -6M), IBMX + db-cAMP + RA, and control (no treatment). Immunocytochemistry was carried out for neural specific antibodies including β-Tubulin III, Microtubule Associated Protein 2 (MAP-2), Neurofilament Protein-Heavy chain (NF-H), Glial Fibrilary Acidic Protein (GFAP) and Synaptophysin as well as morphological studies. Semiquantitative RT-PCR was also used to evaluate gene expression involved in neurogenesis. Results: In the 4+6+4 days the neuronal process were apparently observed. Immunocytochemical studies using nerve specific antibodies for proteins such as β- Tubulin III, MAP-2, NF-H, GFAP and Synaptophysin showed the presence of these neuronal and astrocyte markers in differentiated cells by cAMP. Evaluation of expression of genes involved in neurogenesis showed that Hash1, Synaptophysin, β-Adrenergic Receptor and Acetylcholine Receptor- which were silent in embryoid bodies - switched on after treatment with cAMP and/or RA. Relative expression of nerve specific genes showed a significant enhancement in expression of Synaptophysin, NFM and β-Adrenergic Receptor during differentiation, which, with the enhancement in cAMP treated groups were more than those treated with RA and control (p < 0.05). Conclusion: In conclusion, this study showed that cAMP could be a neurogenic agent for human embryonic stem cells 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...

Reprogramming by cytosolic extract of human embryonic stem cells improves dopaminergic differentiation potential of human adipose tissue-derived stem cells

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...
