Direct reprogramming of human fibroblasts to expandable induced dopaminergic neuronal progenitors for Parkinson’s disease therapy [Array]


ABSTRACT: Personalized cell therapy is being explored as promising treatments for incurable diseases such as Parkinson’s disease (PD). Here, we directly reprogrammed human fibroblasts into induced dopaminergic neuronal progenitors (hiDPs) and assess their applicability for regenerative PD therapy. We found that hiDPs maintain progenitor characteristics over 20 passages and showed unaltered differentiation potential to midbrain dopaminergic neurons. By next-generation sequencing, we confirm that even long-term cultured hiDPs retain genomic stability, resulting in absence of tumorigenicity when transplanted, indicating preclinical safety. The hiDPs differentiate into highly pure dopaminergic neurons expressing markers associated with positive graft outcomes without unwanted serotonergic neurons known to cause graft-induced dyskinesia. The therapeutic effect and safety were confirmed by transplantation in rodent PD models. Because our optimized reprogramming conditions generate highly expandable hiDPs enabling scaled production of clonal cells and overcoming quality control issues, we propose that our hiDPs can become a preferred autologous therapy for aged and feeble PD patients vulnerable to immunosuppression regimens.
