EPS and iPS Cells in Disease Research

3.4K
Embryonic and induced pluripotent stem cells are excellent models for disease research because of their ability to self-renew and differentiate into most cell types. Somatic cells from a patient are isolated and reprogrammed into induced pluripotent stem cells or iPSCs. These iPSCs are later differentiated into the desired cell type, which mirrors the diseased cell of the patient. In this way, disease models have been created for investigating diseases such as Down syndrome, type I diabetes,...

Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells

Stem cells are undifferentiated cells that divide and produce different cell types. Ordinarily, cells that have differentiated into a specific cell type are terminally differentiated; however, scientists have found a way to reprogram these mature cells so that they dedifferentiate and return to an unspecialized, proliferative state. These cells are pluripotent like embryonic stem cells—able to produce all cell types—and are called induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs).

Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells

Stem cells are undifferentiated cells that divide and produce different types of cells. Ordinarily, cells that have differentiated into a specific cell type are post-mitotic—that is, they no longer divide. However, scientists have found a way to reprogram these mature cells so that they “de-differentiate” and return to an unspecialized, proliferative state. These cells are also pluripotent like embryonic stem cells—able to produce all cell types—and are therefore...

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Cell Biology
  • Genetics

Background:

  • Schizophrenia (SZ) involves complex network pathology affecting neurons and glial cells.
  • Studying SZ is challenging due to polygenic factors and limitations of animal models.
  • Patient-derived pluripotent stem cells offer a promising avenue for disease modeling.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the application of patient-specific induced cultures in modeling schizophrenia.
  • To highlight the role of co-culture techniques in studying SZ network dysfunction.
  • To discuss the potential of stem cell-derived models for personalized medicine in SZ.

Main Methods:

  • Generation of patient-derived pluripotent stem cells.
  • Differentiation into various neural and glial cell types (dopaminergic, GABAergic, microglia, oligodendrocytes).
  • Application of 2D and 3D co-culture systems to mimic neural networks.

Main Results:

  • Induced cultures successfully generate diverse cell types relevant to SZ pathology.
  • Co-culture models effectively recapitulate network dysfunction observed in schizophrenia.
  • Patient-specific models allow for the investigation of molecular mechanisms underlying SZ.

Conclusions:

  • Patient-derived induced cultures are valuable tools for studying schizophrenia.
  • Co-culture techniques, in 2D and 3D, are crucial for modeling SZ network pathology.
  • These models pave the way for understanding and potentially treating schizophrenia on an individual basis.
