restricted. With respect to their potency to generate neurons, astrocytes, or oligodendrocytes, they are referred to as “neuronal “, “astrocyte “, and “oligodendrocyte “ precursors, respectively. Importantly, in vitro isolation and propagation of NPCs from the developing and adult rodent CNS ha...
protocol16 (TCW astrocytes). Genome-wide astrocyte fidelity scores were obtained from Kelley et al. TPM: transcripts per million. b, Relative expression (z-scored) of the top 50 genes with the highest astrocyte fidelity scores from Kelley et al.115 (organized by hierarchical clustering, see ...
To evaluate the inflammatory phenotype, we challenged the hiAstrocytes with the pro-inflammatory cytokine IL-1尾 (interleukin 1 beta) and quantitatively assessed the secretion profile of astrocyte-associated cytokines and the expression of intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1). Finally, we ...
Human iPSC differentiation to brain cell types. Somatic cells from patients or healthy individuals can be reprogrammed to iPSCs and subsequently differentiated into all major brain cell types for in vitro studies. Such studies can examine cellular functions as well as how they are impacted by AD h...
For astrocyte signature genes, eight genes were up- or downregulated based on APOE4 genotype in both human brain and iPSC-derived astrocytes (Figure 1F). Although this number of overlapping genes was not statistically significant (p = 0.23), it is interesting to note that three of those genes...

To identify the mature neurons obtained, we used neuron-specific cytoskeletal marker TUJ1, dendritic marker Map2, and astrocyte marker GFAP. The iNSCs successfully differentiated into cortical neuron and astrocyte, as confirmed by the presence of staining for the cortical neuron and astrocyte markers ...
In- creased levels of IL-6 in the ASD astrocytes were suggested to underlie astrocyte actions, in line with earlier studies showing involvement of immune sys- tem dysregulation in ASD [73]. Recent single-cell expression studies on iPSC-derived neural stem cell cultures also revealed that NRXN1...
The most highly expressed off-target marker was GLAST, indicating that some astrocyte precursors were present in the culture. Consistent with the presence of STN neurons, which bear semblance to mDA neurons in terms of expression of some molecular markers32,33, we observed expression of DBX1, ...
To investigate a toxic effect of astrocytes on motor neurons, we cultured motor neurons derived from one patient (iPS31c8) and one control (iPSC1c1) with astrocyte conditioned medium (ACM) from three patient and three control iPSC-derived GFAP+ astrocyte populations. After 5 days of culture MN...
