摘要:
The present invention identified Lmx1a genes, which are expressed in dopaminergic neurons at all differentiation stages, from proliferating dopaminergic neuron progenitor cells before cell cycle exit to cells after cell cycle exit. Lmx1a expression in cells can be used as an indicator when selecting cells suitable for transplantation therapy for neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's disease, and is useful as a marker for screening agents involved in the induction of dopaminergic neuron differentiation.

65B13 was discovered to be a useful marker for isolating GABA neuron progenitor cells including Purkinje cells. Furthermore, E-cadherin was revealed to be a useful marker for isolating Purkinje progenitor cells from a 65B13-positive cell population. Specifically, when used in combination with 65B13, E-cadherin was found to be a useful marker for isolating Purkinje progenitor cells.

The present invention provides markers that can selectively distinguish pancreatic progenitor cells. The present invention also provides methods for distinguishing pancreatic progenitor cells by using the markers as an indicator, and reagents to be used in the methods.The present inventors successfully identified the surface marker Nephrin-like 3 (Neph3) which is specifically expressed in pancreatic progenitor cells, and isolated pancreatic progenitor cells using the marker as an indicator or such. Viable pancreatic progenitor cells can be selected by using Neph3 as an indicator without using translated products and transcripts of any foreign genes. The marker is useful in preparing and identifying pancreatic progenitor cells which are applied to regenerative medicine or such for treatment of pancreatic diseases.

The present inventors identified a selective marker 65B13 for GABA neuron progenitor cells of the spinal dorsal horn and cerebellum, and successfully isolated GABA neuron progenitor cells using antibodies that bind to a protein encoded by the gene. 65B13 was demonstrated to be useful as a marker to isolate GABA-producing neuron progenitor cells in the spinal dorsal horn and cerebellum. GABA neuron progenitor cells can be efficiently identified or isolated by using the identified marker as an indicator.

As a result of screening for genes that are selectively expressed in fetal mouse brain region by subtraction method, the present inventors obtained a cDNA fragment encoding Corl1. The expression of Corl1 was examined by RT-PCR, in situ hybridization, and immunostaining using polyclonal antibodies. The results demonstrated that Corl1 was especially expressed at a high level of selectively in the central nervous system during embryonic stages. The expression patterns of Corl1 determined using various markers in embryonic spinal cord were compared to identify types of neurons expressing Corl1. The results revealed that Corl1 was specifically expressed in spinal cord interneurons dI4, dI5, dILA, and dILB. Accordingly, the present invention provides for discrimination between dI4 and dI6, neurons which previously could only be discriminated based on developmental location, using the expression of Corl1 as an indicator.
