- Abstract
Direct reprogramming is an emerging research field where you can generate neurons from a somatic cell, such as a skin or glial cell by overexpressing neurogenic transcription factors. This technique allows fast generation of subtype-specific and functional neurons from both human and mouse cells. Despite the fact that neurons have been successfully generated both in vitro and in vivo, a more extensive analysis of the induced neurons including phenotypic functional identity or gradual maturity is still lacking. This is an important step for a further development of induced neurons towards cell therapy or disease modeling of neurological diseases. In this protocol, we describe a method for functional assessment of direct reprogrammed... (More)
Direct reprogramming is an emerging research field where you can generate neurons from a somatic cell, such as a skin or glial cell by overexpressing neurogenic transcription factors. This technique allows fast generation of subtype-specific and functional neurons from both human and mouse cells. Despite the fact that neurons have been successfully generated both in vitro and in vivo, a more extensive analysis of the induced neurons including phenotypic functional identity or gradual maturity is still lacking. This is an important step for a further development of induced neurons towards cell therapy or disease modeling of neurological diseases. In this protocol, we describe a method for functional assessment of direct reprogrammed neuronal cells both in vitro and in vivo. Using a synapsin-driven reporter, our protocol allows for a direct identification of the reprogrammed neurons that permits functional assessment using patch-clamp electrophysiology. For in vitro reprogramming we further provide an optimized coating condition that allows a long-term maturation of human induced neurons in vitro.
