Abstract:

BACKGROUND: The emergence of human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs)-derived dopaminergic neurons solves the problem that the embryonic stem cell (ESC) shows an ethical issue on its source, providing a promising cell source for treatment of Parkinson’s disease.
OBJECTIVE: To summarize the differentiation methods of iPSCs-derived dopaminergic neurons in vitro, the choice of Parkinson’s disease models and the transplantation of iPSCs-derived dopaminergic neurons in the Parkinson’s disease treatment.
METHODS: In order to search relevant articles about the application of iPSCs-derived dopaminergic neurons in the Parkinson’s disease models from PubMed databases (from 1980 to 2015), a computer-based search was performed by the first author, using the key words of “iPSC and Parkinson’s disease, induced pluripotent stem cells and Parkinson’s disease, ES cells and Parkinson, PD model, Parkinson and Lewy bodies” in English. Finally 40 articles were chosen for further analysis.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Here, this paper is detailed to show the research status of human iPSCs-derived dopaminergic neurons for treating Parkinson’s disease by reviewing the sources and in vitro differentiation schedules of iPSCs as well as the choice of Parkinson’s disease models and outcomes of transplantation of iPSCs-derived dopaminergic neurons for Parkinson’s disease treatment. According to the Parkinson’s disease mechanism of the Lewy body, we analyze the generation mechanism of the Lewy body, providing references to avert the presence of Lewy bodies and optimize the outcomes of transplantation. The improvement of differentiation conditions of iPSCs can markedly improve the behavior outcomes, and moreover, we can systematically evaluate the outcomes of transplantation by iconography and immunohistochemical results.
