Description

Method and culture medium for chemically inducing cortical neurons
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of neuron induction, and particularly relates to a method and a culture medium for chemically inducing cortical neurons.
Background
Ectoderm is the outermost layer formed during embryonic development, and ectoderm cells gradually differentiate into important systems such as brain, spinal cord, sensory organs, and the like, as organogenesis begins. The nervous system is an important system responsible for functions such as thinking, emotion, perception, and movement. Ectodermal cells are associated with the occurrence of various degenerative diseases, for example, neurodegenerative diseases caused by neuronal aging death are common aging diseases at present, the treatment and care cost of the diseases is extremely expensive, and no specific medicine can be effectively treated in the market. Neurodegenerative diseases include Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), Parkinson Disease (PD), Alzheimer Disease (AD), etc. The difficulty in the study of neurodegenerative diseases and spinal cord injury is that nerve cells of the central nervous system are not regenerative, and the scarcity of in vitro disease models is a limiting factor in basic research, and such diseases are caused by irreversible damage to the central nerve. The nerve cells include different nerve cell types such as nerve stem cells, mature neurons, astrocytes and oligodendrocytes. Studies of different cell types can reveal the mechanisms of development and progression of the disease. The study of cellular differentiation during development is the basis of pathological studies. Understanding the differentiation and development process of normal cells and the genes regulating the differentiation of stem cells will help to understand the causes of disease formation and develop corresponding disease treatment strategies. Taking cortical nerve cells as an example, the gray matter of the cerebral cortex, which covers both hemispheres of the brain, is the material basis for higher neural activity, and is composed of neurons, nerve fibers, and glia. The pathological changes and injuries of cortical neurons related to cerebral apoplexy and epilepsy are important target targets of various central nervous system diseases.
At present, the traditional cell line is mostly used in the research and development of drugs in related fields, and the rodentia nerve cell line is used for drug screening, so that the normal reaction of human beings to drugs cannot be reflected, most cortical cells in the field of drug screening are derived from rodent primary cells at present, and obvious species differences exist between mice and human beings, which is also one of the reasons for deviation of drug screening; in addition, the source of the human cortical neuron cells is insufficient, the uniformity difference of the human neural stem cells from the donation of the remains or the source of the embryos is obvious, the limitation of ethical use exists, and the industrial grade requirement of high-throughput screening cannot be met; the above factors greatly restrict the accuracy and efficiency of the development of nervous system drugs.
In 2006, the Ministry of elongation in the mountain invented a "cocktail" method consisting of four transcription factors, OCT4, SOX2, KLF4 and c-Myc, which successfully reprograms terminally differentiated dermal fibroblasts into stem cells with differentiation pluripotency, called induced pluripotent stem cells (Cell, 2006, 124(4) pp.663-676; Cell, 2007, 131(5) pp.861-872). These stem cells have a differentiation potential similar to that of embryonic stem cells (embryonic stem cells), and are capable of forming the three germ layers most essential for human development: ectoderm, mesoderm and endoderm, and eventually form a variety of adult cells. This invention breaks through the ethical limitation of using human embryonic stem cells in medicine. Taking a nervous system as an example, in the field of regenerative medicine, at present, the induction of neural stem cells and neurons mostly adopts a Dual SMAD inhibition method (Chambers SM, et al., Nat Biotechnol, 2009, 27(3):275-80), and the neural stem cells obtained by the method can be differentiated into other types of neuronal cells, and the principle is to simulate a signal pathway in the early embryonic development by inhibiting BMP and TGFBeta pathways, so as to induce the generation of the neural stem cells. LDN-193189 and SB431542 are two widely used chemical small molecule inhibitors, which act on ALK2 and ALK3 in BMP4 pathway and ALK5 in TGFBeta pathway to achieve the formation of transplanted endoderm and mesoderm, thereby inducing ectoderm development and neurogenesis. In this way, induced neuronal cells can be obtained in the presence of a serous component (Knockout Serum Replacement) (Chambers SM, et al., Nat Biotechnol., 2013, 30(7): 715-. The research of the induced nerve cells provides a novel idea for the treatment and drug screening of neurodegenerative diseases.

Example 4 identification of human cortical neuronal cells
4.1 identification of Crenigacestat-induced cortical neuron expression genes
Q-PCR was used to detect transcriptional changes in different marker genes during differentiation from neural stem cells to neurons. Total RNA extraction was performed using induced cortical neurons obtained from NouvNeu and N2B27 systems using RNeasy Mini or Micro Kit (QIAGEN), and 1mg of RNA was synthesized as cDNA using SuperScript III First-Strand Synthesis System (Invitrogen). The labeling and reaction of the Quan-reactive PCR were performed using SYBR Premix Ex Taq (TaKaRa) and Thermal Cycler Dice Real Time System (TaKaRa), and beta-Actin was used as an internal reference. All data were analyzed using delta-Ct method. Each set of experiments was performed using three replicates and variance statistics were performed. The primer sequences used to identify the genes encoding the different cellular markers are shown in table 3.
The analysis results are shown in FIG. 2, using Actin expression gene as internal reference and DAPT induced human cortical neurons as control. The results show that the transcriptional levels of the genes of Crenigacet-induced human cortical neurons GAD1, GRID1 and GRIN1 are not significantly different from those of DAPT-induced human cortical neurons, while the transcriptional levels of the genes of 1-10 mu M Crenigacet-induced human cortical neurons GRIA1, VGLUT1 and VGLUT2 are higher than those of DAPT-induced human cortical neurons of a control group, which indicates that the human cortical neurons obtained by induction of the invention are more mature than those of the control group.
