Induction of Tyrosine Hydroxylase by Nurr-1 in hES Cells


Abstract

As an effort to direct differentiation of human embryonic stem cells (hES, MB03) to dopamine-producing neuronal cells, we expressed Nurr-l in hES and examined the expression of tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) after bFGF induction. To introduce Nurr-l, hES cells were maintained in humidified chamber with 5% CO₂ and 95% air in DMEM/Fl2 supplemented with FBS (10%), penicillin (100U/㎖), and streptomycin (100㎍/㎖). (omitted)
