[0034] Example 1

[0035] This embodiment provides a method for reprogramming peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMNCs) to form neural stem cells (HiNPCs), comprising the following steps:

[0036] S1, obtain peripheral blood mononuclear cells and culture them:

[0037] Obtain 15 mL of venous peripheral blood and collect it into an appropriate blood collection tube containing sodium heparin. Dilute to 35 mL with sterile PBS buffer, add 15 mL of cell density gradient separation medium (Ficoll-Paque Premium), and centrifuge at 750 g for 30 minutes at 25°C. Aspirate and discard the yellow upper layer containing plasma, and transfer the turbid white middle layer containing mononuclear cells (MNCs) to a new 50 mL conical tube.

[0038] Add 30 mL of sterile PBS buffer to the 50 mL conical tube containing the turbid white middle layer of mononuclear cells (PBMNC) and resuspend. Centrifuge at 350 g for 10 min at 4°C and discard the supernatant to obtain the first cell pellet.

[0039] The first cell pellet was mixed with 5 mL of red blood cell lysis buffer and resuspended in a 50 mL tube. The mixture was incubated at 25°C for 10 min. The red blood cell lysis buffer was then diluted with sterile PBS buffer. The mixture was centrifuged at 300 g for 10 min at 4°C. The supernatant was discarded to obtain the second cell pellet.

[0040] The second cell pellet was resuspended in 25 mL of sterile PBS buffer and centrifuged at 300 g for 10 min at 4°C. The supernatant was discarded and the cell pellet was resuspended in 25 mL of sterile PBS buffer and centrifuged to pellet the cells. The pellet was resuspended in 5 mL of sterile PBS buffer to obtain a PBMNC suspension.

[0041] Dilute the PBMNC suspension and count the number of viable cells (based on trypan blue exclusion). Aliquot the PBMNC suspension according to experimental needs, with approximately 5 million cells per ml of cryopreservative.

[0042] 5 to 10 million mononuclear cells (MNCs) were seeded in a six-well plate and 2 mL of PBMNC medium (containing IMDM medium and Ham's F-12 medium in a volume ratio of 1:1, 1% v / v insulin-transferrin-selenium supplement (ITS-X), 1% v / v chemically defined lipid concentrate, 1% m / v L-glutamine, 30-80 μg / mL L-ascorbic acid, 5 mg / mL bovine serum albumin (BSA), 200 μM 1-Thioglycerol, 100 ng / mL recombinant human stem cell factor, 100 μg / mL holo-transferrin, 40 ng / mL recombinant human insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1), 10 ng / mL recombinant interleukin-3 (IL-3), 2 U / mL recombinant human erythropoietin (EPO), 1 μM dexamethasone], cultured in a 37°C, 5% CO2 incubator for two days, the cells and culture medium were removed with a sterile pipette and transferred to a sterile 15 mL centrifuge tube, centrifuged at 25°C, 200 g for 5 min, the supernatant discarded, and the precipitated cells resuspended in 1 mL of PBMNC culture medium.

[0043] Plate 0.5 to 1 million PBMNCs per ml of PBMNC culture medium in a six-well plate and incubate for 2 days. Repeat the cell counting and fresh medium replacement steps, but incubate the cells for an additional 2 days. Count the cells after 4 days of expansion. Observe that the initial cell population has approximately the same number of cells or more. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMNCs) are plated at a density of 5 × 10 5 Add cells and PBMNC culture medium into the middle part of a 24-well plate.

[0044] S2, reprogramming:

[0045] The day of transfection is designated as day 0. Refer to the instructions for the Sendai virus reprogramming kit (Cyto Tune™-Ips 2.0 Sendai Reprogramming Kit) and add Sendai virus containing OCT3 / 4, SOX2, KLF4, and c-MYC to the PBMNCs in a total volume of 1–1.5 mL. Securely place the cap on the tube. Centrifuge the cells and virus at 1000 g for 30 minutes at room temperature. After centrifugation, add 1 mL of PBMNC culture medium to the tube, resuspend the cells, and transfer them to one well of a 12-well plate (the volume should be between 2 and 2.5 mL). Incubate overnight at 37°C in a 5% CO2 incubator.

[0046] On day 1 after transfection, replace the old medium with fresh PBMNC medium to remove the Sendai reprogramming vector. On day 2, change the PBMNC medium. On day 3, passage the cells onto matrigel-coated 12-well plates. On day 4, switch to chemically defined NPC differentiation medium [1:1 volume ratio of DMEM / F12 medium and Neurobasal medium, supplemented with 1% N2 supplement (volume ratio), 2% B27, 1% NEAA (volume ratio), 1% GlutaMAX supplement (volume ratio), 10 ng / mL recombinant human leukemia inhibitory factor (rhLIF), 2-6 μM CHIR99021, and 2-4 μM SB431542]. Change the NPC differentiation medium every 2 days. Approximately 11 days after transfection, HiNPC colonies should emerge in NPC differentiation medium.

[0047] After observing the morphological changes of a small number of cultured cells for another 10 days, HiNPC clones were selected on poly-L-ornithine hydrobromide and laminin (PDL / laminin) (see Figure 1, Panel A) and immunostained for neural stem cell (NSC) and pluripotency markers.

[0048] HiNPCs expressed typical neural stem cell markers sex determining factor 2 (SOX2), nestin, and human paired nuclear gene 6 (PAX6) but did not express the pluripotent stem cell marker octamer anchoring protein 4 (OCT4) (see Figure 1B and Figure 2).

[0049] HiNPCs also had a normal karyotype ( FIG3 ).

[0050] Example 2

[0051] The present embodiment provides a method for differentiating the HiNPCs obtained in Example 1 into medial ganglionic eminence progenitor cells (MGE), comprising the following steps:

[0052] Neural stem cells (HiNPCs) were plated onto six-well plates coated with poly-L-ornithine hydrobromide / laminin (PLO / laminin) and maintained in MGE differentiation medium (DMEM / F12, 1% N2 supplement by volume, 1% NEAA by volume, 1-2 μM Pur), with the medium changed every other day. When the culture dish was confluent, the cell clusters were gently transferred to a 15 mL centrifuge tube and centrifuged at 50 g for 1 minute at room temperature. Alternatively, the cell clusters were allowed to rest for 2-5 minutes without centrifugation and then plated in fresh medium.

[0053] Gently pipette the MGE spheroids two or three times with a 10 mL pipette to remove dead cells from the surface of the spheroids. Tilt the culture dish at 45° and allow the spheroids to sink to one corner. Gently aspirate two-thirds of the culture medium without disturbing the spheroids. Refill with the same fresh culture medium and culture for 15 days to obtain MGEs.

[0054] HiNPCs were tested and differentiated into MGE progenitor cells in neural differentiation medium containing NEAA, N2 supplement, and Pur as a SHH agonist ( FIG4 ).

[0055] Example 3

[0056] This example provides a method for differentiating the MGE progenitor cells obtained in Example 2 into GABA interneurons, comprising the following steps:

[0057] Collect the prepared MGE progenitor cell spheroids into a 15 mL tube. Spin the tube at 50 g for 1 minute at room temperature. Aspirate the supernatant, add 1 mL of TrypLE to resuspend the MGE progenitor cell spheroids, and then incubate the mixture at 37°C for 2-4 minutes until the MGE progenitor cell spheroids become loose. Spin the tube at 50 g for 1 minute at room temperature. Aspirate the supernatant, then wash the spheroids. Aspirate the supernatant, add GABA neuron differentiation medium (Neurobasal medium, 1% N2 supplement by volume, 1% NEAA by volume, supplemented with 1-1.5 μM cAMP, 8-15 ng / mL IGF1, 10-20 ng / mL glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF), and 8-12 ng / mL brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), and culture on poly-L-ornithine hydrobromide / laminin (PLO / laminin)-coated 6-well plates.

[0058] Over the next 20 days, MGE progenitor cells gradually grew neurites and took on the shape of neurons (Figure 4); in particular, approximately 80% of the cells co-expressed the interneuron transcription factor NKX2.1 and the forkhead box gene G1 (see Figure 5A and Figure 6); approximately 70% of the cells co-expressed the interneuron transcription factor NKX2.1 and the γ-aminobutyric acid neurotransmitter marker (see Figure 5B and Figure 7).

[0059] On day 37, mature GABAergic neurons (β-tubulin Tuj1 positive; 95±10%, n=3) were accompanied by a large number of synapses (synapsin-1 positive; 94±7%, n=3) (see Figure 5C and Figure 8).

[0060] In addition, the inventor team found in a large number of exploratory experiments:

[0061] (1) During the reprogramming of PBMNCs into HiNPCs, a 1:1 volume ratio of DMEM / F12 medium and Neurobasal medium was used, with the addition of 1% volume N2 additive, 2% volume B27, 1% volume NEAA, 1% volume GlutaMAX, 10 ng / mL rhLIF, 2-6 μM CHIR99021, and 2-4 μM SB431542. The overall yield of HiNPCs was higher than that of other concentrations.

[0062] (2) During the differentiation of HiNPC into MGE, the differentiation efficiency was higher when using DMEM / F12, 1×N2 supplement, 1×NEAA, and 1-2 μM purmorphamine than other concentrations. The specific experimental comparison results are statistically shown in the following table:

[0063] As can be seen from the above table, during the differentiation of HiNPC into MGE, the highest differentiation efficiency is achieved at a concentration of 1-2 μM purmorphamine, which is at least 10% higher than that of other different culture media.

[0064] (3) During the in vitro differentiation of MGE into GABA neurons, the highest proportion of in vitro differentiation into GABA neurons was achieved when 1-1.5 μM cAMP, 8-15 ng / mL IGF1, 10-20 ng / mL GDNF, and 8-12 ng / mL BDNF were added to the Neurobasal medium, 1% N2 additive by volume, and 1% NEAA by volume culture medium.

[0065] It is important to note that the above embodiments are intended only to further illustrate and describe the technical solutions of the present invention and are not intended to further limit the technical solutions of the present invention. The methods of the present invention are merely preferred implementations and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.
