Abstract

Introduction: Induced pluripotent stem cells allow us to confirm the results from animal experiments on human cells in a safe and convenient way. This give us the opportunity to investigate their role in the field of regenerative medicine for inner ear diseases.

Methods: The effect of BDNF, NT-3 and IGF-1 on neurite outgrowth of human induced pluripotent stem (hiPS) cell-derived neurons was examined. First, human iPS cell line 201B7-GFP was differentiated into neural progenitor cells. Neurospheres were prepared from neural progenitor cells by floating culture on U-bottom low adhesion plate. After that the neurospheres were transferred on Matrigel-coated plates and underwent neuronal differentiation for 7 days with or without additional neurotrophic or growth factors.

Results: Immunocytochemistry showed βIII-tubulin and neurofilament positive cells in the neurospheres. The neurites of each neurosphere were counted. No significant difference was observed between the different groups.

Conclusions: Previous studies demonstrate the effect of BDNF, NT-3 and IGF-1 on neurite outgrowth. In our study for the first time this assessment is done by using human iPS cells. Our results differ from the results previously reported. This could be due to the genetic instability of iPS cells.
