Glial-restricted precursor (GRP) cells, the earliest glial progenitors for both astrocytes and oligodendrocytes, have been derived from embryos and embryonic stem cells (ESC) in rodents. However, knowledge regarding the equivalent cell type in primates is limited due to restrictions imposed by ethics and resources. Here we report successful derivation and characterization of primate GRP cells from rhesus monkey ESC. The purified monkey GRP cells were AB-positive and FGF2-dependent for survival and proliferation. The differentiation assays indicated that they were tri-potential and bi-potential . These newly purified GRP cells will help to facilitate understanding of the molecular mechanism of glial development in primates as well as provide a source of therapeutic donor cells for use in neuroregenerative medicine.
胶质细胞限制前体细胞(GRP)是星形胶质细胞和少突胶质细胞最早的胶质祖细胞,已从啮齿动物的胚胎和胚胎干细胞(ESC)中获得。然而,由于伦理和资源限制,关于灵长类动物中同等细胞类型的知识有限。在此,我们报告了从恒河猴胚胎干细胞成功获得并鉴定出灵长类GRP细胞。纯化后的猴GRP细胞AB呈阳性,其存活和增殖依赖于碱性成纤维细胞生长因子2(FGF2)。分化试验表明,它们具有三潜能和双潜能。这些新纯化的GRP细胞将有助于促进对灵长类动物胶质细胞发育分子机制的理解,并为神经再生医学提供治疗性供体细胞来源。
