The invention relates to the field of
cell biology, and particularly discloses a
neural stem cell induced differentiation culture medium and application thereof in preparation of neural stem cells. The
neural stem cell induced differentiation culture medium is composed of a basic culture medium and additives, wherein the additives are composed of an N-2 additive, a B-27 additive,
glutamine, a
human leukemia inhibiting factor, a GSK-3 inhibitor, an
ALK inhibitor, a gamma-
secretase inhibitor and a CDK8 inhibitor. The
neural stem cell induced differentiation culture medium is clear and simple in component, does not need to use
antibiotics, and does not contain animal-derived components. When the culture medium is used for carrying out
differentiation induction on the human pluripotent stem cells, the human pluripotent stem cells can be induced and differentiated into the neural stem cells within a short time (6-7 days) without depending on pluripotent
stem cell cloning and a single
cell state, the nonuniformity of pluripotent
stem cell cloning formation can be overcome, and the purity of the neural stem cells is improved.
