Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0006700A1] Differentiated neuronal cells suitable for transplantation in individuals with a dopamine deficiency are derived from progenitor cells. The progenitor cells are treated with at least one inducing agent such as retinoic acid for a time period sufficient to optimize expression of tyrosine hydroxylase. The cells intended for transplantation are optionally treated with a lithium salt to enhance bcl-2 production and survival. Optionally, the progenitor cells may be co-cultured with Sertoli cells, astrocytes, glial cells, accessory cells or a combination thereof. The transplantation-ready cells are isolated and harvested. The resulting neuronal cells are highly purified and have a phenotype optimized for a dopaminergic deficiency, such as Parkinson's Disease.
