Human Embryonic Stem Cell-Derived Immature Midbrain Dopaminergic Neurons Transplanted in Parkinsonian Monkeys

Abstract: Human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) differentiate into specialized cells, including midbrain dopaminergic neurons (DANs), and Non-human primates (NHPs) injected with 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine develop some alterations observed in Parkinson’s disease (PD) patients. Here, we obtained well-characterized DANs from hESCs and transplanted them into two parkinsonian monkeys to assess their behavioral and imaging changes. DANs from hESCs expressed dopaminergic markers, generated action potentials, and… Show more

“…Among the various models that have been developed to study the damage to dopaminergic neurons in PD, cultures of dopaminergic neurons differentiated from human embryonic stem cells (hESC) offer the advantages of avoiding the interference of oncogenes characteristic of cell lines, and that the resulting mesencephalic dopaminergic neurons are capable of releasing dopamine and exhibit action potentials similar to functional dopaminergic neurons in the human brain. 9 , 10 hESC have been widely used to develop treatments and therapeutic strategies for PD. 11 …”
