Isolation of human iPSC and ESC-derived mesDA progenitor cells by immunomagnetic cells sorting (MACS)
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Human embryonic and induced pluripotent stem cells are a promising cell source for the future treatment of Parkinson´s disease. It has been shown that mesencephalic dopaminergic (mesDA) neurons arise from the midbrain floor plate in which FOXA2 acts as a key transcription factor. We identified IAP which is specifically co-expressed with FOXA2 positive cells and is suitable to isolate mesDA progenitors utilizing MACS Technolog.The sorted iPSCs were viable, enriched for midbrain specific markers, lacked expression of pluripotency markers, and differentiated into mature dopaminergic neurons in vitro. IAP might be used as a tool to purify mesDA progenitor cells for regenerative therapy in PD patients
