No presente estudo, estabelecemos um método simples e eficaz para diferenciação neuronal dos mESCs, com baixo custo e materiais de fácil obtenção. Neste método, 2 dias de formação corporal embrionária seguida de 6 dias de indução de RA podem efetivamente promover a diferenciação de mESCs em NPCs (Fase I-protocolo 3). Para a diferenciação da fase II, o N2B27 médio II (Fase II-protocolo 3) induz mais efetivamente a diferenciação dos NPCs em neurônios. Para garantir o sucesso, mais atenção deve ser dad...

As células-tronco embrionárias (ESCs) são pluripotentes e podem se diferenciar em células precursoras neurais (NPCs) e, posteriormente, em neurônios sob certas condições1. A neurogênese baseada em ESC fornece a melhor plataforma para imitar neurogênese, servindo assim como uma ferramenta útil para estudos de biologia do desenvolvimento e potencialmente auxiliar na medicina regenerativa2,3. Nas últimas décadas, muitas estratégias foram relatadas para induzir neurogênese embrionária, como o método transgênico4, utilizando pequenas moléculas5, utilizando um microambiente de matriz3D 6, e a técnica de cocultura7. No entanto, a maioria desses protocolos são limitados ou difíceis de operar, portanto, não são adequados para uso na maioria dos laboratórios.
Para encontrar um método fácil de operar e de baixo custo para obter uma diferenciação neural eficiente dos mESCs, uma estratégia de triagem combinatória foi usada aqui. Conforme descrito na Figura 1,todo o processo de neurogênese embrionária foi dividido em 2 fases. A fase I refere-se ao processo de diferenciação dos mESCs em NPCs, e a fase II refere-se à diferenciação subsequente dos NPCs em neurônios. Com base nos princípios de fácil operação, baixo custo, materiais facilmente disponíveis e alta eficiência de diferenciação, foram escolhidos sete protocolos na Fase I e três na Fase II com base no sistema tradicional de cultura monocamadas aderente ou no sistema de formação corporal embrionário8,9. A diferenciação de eficiência dos protocolos em ambas as fases foi avaliada por meio da observação da morfologia celular e do ensaio de imunofluorescência. Através da combinação do protocolo mais eficiente de cada fase, estabelecemos o método otimizado para diferenciação neural dos mESCs.

neuronal differentiation from mouse embryonic stem cells in vitro

A diferenciação neural das células-tronco embrionárias do camundongo (mESCs) é uma ferramenta potencial para elucidar os principais mecanismos envolvidos na neurogênese e potencialmente ajudar na medicina regenerativa. Aqui, estabelecemos um método eficiente e de baixo custo para diferenciação neuronal dos mESCs invitro, utilizando a estratégia de triagem combinatória. Sob as condições aqui definidas, a formação do corpo embrionário de 2 dias + protocolo de indução de ácido retinóico de 6 dias permite diferenciação rápida e eficiente dos mESCs em células precursoras neurais (NPCs), como visto pela formação de A2lox bem empilhados e neuritas semelhantes a 129 derivativos que são nestin positivos. O estado saudável dos corpos embrionários e o ponto de tempo em que o ácido retinóico (RA) é aplicado, assim como as concentrações de RA, são críticos no processo. Na diferenciação subsequente dos NPCs em neurônios, o N2B27 médio II (suplementado pelo meio neurobásal) poderia suportar melhor a manutenção e maturação a longo prazo das células neuronais. O método apresentado é altamente eficiente, de baixo custo e de fácil operação, podendo ser uma poderosa ferramenta para pesquisa em neurobiologia e biologia do desenvolvimento.

Formação corporal embrionária de 2 dias + a indução de RA de 6 dias funciona melhor na direção da diferenciação de mESCs em NPCs (Fase I). Para determinar o protocolo ideal que melhor promove a diferenciação de mESCs em NPCs (Fase I), 7 protocolos foram testados tanto em A2lox quanto em 129 mESCs(Tabela 1) e o status de diferenciação de cada grupo foi monitorado por microscópio leve. Como mostrado na Figura 3A, a maioria dos derivados A2lox e 129 em formação ...
