    摘要: To produce and/or maintain naïve pluripotent stem cells capable of highly expressing genes important for maintaining an undifferentiated state, which could not be achieved by known methods for producing pluripotent stem cells. The present invention can produce naïve pluripotent stem cells capable of maintaining an undifferentiated state by introducing and allowing transient expression of six genes (Oct3/4, Klf4, c-Myc, Sox2, Nanog, and Klf2) among the so-called initializing factors, and further performing culturing in a medium containing LIF, an MEK inhibitor, a GSK3 inhibitor, a cAMP production promoter, a TGF-β inhibitor and a PKC inhibitor. Thus, the problem of the present invention can be solved.

    摘要: A production method for parvalbumin-positive nerve cells includes: an expression induction step of inducing expression of Ascl1 gene, Dlx2 gene, and MEF2C gene in a cell, and a differentiation step of culturing the cell after the expression induction to differentiate the cells into parvalbumin-positive nerve cell; a cell into which Ascl1 gene, Dlx2 gene, and MEF2C gene are introduced in an expressible manner; and a differentiation inducer for inducing differentiation of a cell into a parvalbumin-positive nerve cell, including Ascl1 gene, Dlx2 gene, and MEF2C gene, or gene products thereof, as an active ingredient.

    摘要: The method for producing a cell aggregate including glial progenitor cells according to the present invention comprises: (1) a step of subjecting pluripotent stem cells to suspension culture in an embryoid-body-forming culture medium containing one or more SMAD signaling inhibitors and one or more Wnt signaling activators in the absence of feeder cells for 5 days to 10 days, to form a cell aggregate; (2) a step of subjecting the cell aggregate obtained in (1) to suspension culture in an embryoid-body-forming culture medium containing retinoic acid; (3) a step of subjecting the cell aggregate obtained in (2) to suspension culture in an embryoid-body-forming culture medium or neuron-and-glia-proliferating culture medium containing retinoic acid and one or more SHH signaling activators; and (4) a step of subjecting the cell aggregate obtained in (3) to suspension culture in a neuron-and-glia-proliferating culture medium containing no retinoic acid and one or more SHH signaling activators.

    摘要: To generate an animal model exhibiting symptoms similar to those of human amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and/or human frontotemporal lobar degeneration. An animal model exhibiting symptoms similar to those of human amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and/or human frontotemporal lobar degeneration can be produced by means of generating a mutation in a vertebrate so that expression of a mutant protein with a substitution of tyrosine for alanine at a position corresponding to position 382 of SEQ ID NO. 1 or a mutant protein with a substitution of cysteine for glycine at a position corresponding to position 348 of SEQ ID NO. 1 is regulated by an endogenous TDP-43 gene promoter in at least one allele of an endogenous TDP-43 gene of the vertebrate.
