Cultures of hiPS cells and their differentiation into neuronal cells

ABSTRACT: In order to identify endogenous factors that modulate Aβ production, we performed a transcriptome analysis on neuronal cells derived from human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPS) because these cells changed the Aβ production during neuronal differentiation. When the expression of APP and the ratio Aβ42/40 of the secreted proteins were measured at days 38, 45, and 52 during differentiation, both APP expression and the secretion of Aβ40 and Aβ42 at days 45 and 52 were significantly increased compared to those at day 38. Furthermore, the ratio of Aβ42/40 was dramatically reduced at days 45 and 52 compared to that at day 38. We hypothesized that transcriptional changes during the differentiation into neuronal cells may affect APP production and/or processing. To test this hypothesis, we per
