Cocktails of chemical inducers of neuron-like properties (CINP) is provided, which includes cAMP agonists, neurogenic small molecules, glycogen synthase kinase inhibitors, TGFβ receptor inhibitors, and BET family bromodomain inhibitors and optionally, a selective inhibitor of ROCK or p38 MAPK. These cocktails are used in a method of inducing neuron-like properties in partially or completely differentiated non-neuronal cells. The method includes contacting cells of a first type (non-neuronal) with the CINPs for a sufficient period of time to result in reprogramming the cell into cells of a second type having neuron-like characteristics (CiNs). Isolated chemically induced neurons (CiNs) can be used in a number of applications, including but not limited to cell therapy.
本研究提供了神经元样特性化学诱导剂(CINP)鸡尾酒,其中包括 cAMP 激动剂、神经原小分子、糖原合酶激酶抑制剂、TGFβ 受体抑制剂、BET 家族溴域抑制剂以及 ROCK 或 p38 MAPK 的选择性抑制剂。这些鸡尾酒可用于在部分或完全分化的非神经元细胞中诱导神经元样特性的方法。该方法包括将第一种类型(非神经元)的细胞与 CINPs 接触足够长的时间,使细胞重编程为具有神经元样特性(CiNs)的第二种类型的细胞。分离的化学诱导神经元(CiNs)可用于多种应用,包括但不限于细胞疗法。
