The invention discloses a preparation method and application of autonomic
ganglion organoid, and relates to the technical field of
biology. The method comprises the following steps: 1) providing
neural crest stem cells; 2) differentiating the
neural crest stem cells into autonomic
ganglion-like organs through the combined action of added external factors and internal factors; wherein the external factors comprise a bFGF (
basic fibroblast growth factor), an IGF-1 (
insulin-like
growth factor), a BDNF (brain-derived neurotrophic factor), a GDNF (brain-derived neurotrophic factor), an NGF (
nerve growth factor), an NT-3, an EGF (
epidermal growth factor),
Forskolin, a DAPT (diaminopropyltriethoxysilane), an
insulin, a
Transferrin, an
Activin A and a BMP4 (
bone morphogenetic protein 4); the addition of the intrinsic factors is that the following four transcription factors, namely Ascl1, Hand2, Phox2a and Phox2b, are overexpressed in the
neural crest stem cells at the same time. The
organoid prepared by the scheme contains various neurons similar to the autonomic
ganglion in vivo, Schwann glial cells and
satellite glial cells. The prepared autonomic ganglion
organoid can be applied to research on development regulation of autonomic ganglions and occurrence and development mechanisms of various human diseases, development of therapeutic drugs and the like.
