Abstract
Provided herein is a differentiation agent that consists essentially of SOX9 for the production of oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OPCs) from pluripotent stem cells (PSC). Also provided herein are methods of producing the PSCs and methods of using the PSCs to produce OPCs and oligodendrocytes.
Claims (20)
1 . A pluripotent stem cell (PSC) comprising an engineered nucleic acid encoding a transcription factor consisting of SOX9 at a level sufficient to differentiate the PSC into an oligodendrocyte progenitor cell (OPC), wherein the OPC expresses one or more OPC markers at a level sufficient for the PSC to perform one or more OPC functions.
2 . The PSC of claim 1 , wherein the one or more OPC markers comprises O4, NG2, or both.
3 . The PSC of claim 1 , wherein the one or more OPC markers are expressed in less than 10 days from expression of the engineered nucleic acid encoding SOX9 in the PSC.
4 . The PSC of claim 1 , wherein the OPC displays an increase in the number of myelinated axons by at least two-fold.
5 . A population of pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) comprising at least one engineered nucleic acid encoding a transcription factor consisting of SOX9 at a level sufficient upon induction to reprogram the population of PSCs directly into oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OPCs).
6 . The population of claim 5 , wherein the OPCs express one or more OPC markers.
7 . The population of claim 6 , wherein the one or more OPC markers comprises O4, NG2, or both.
8 . The population of claim 6 , wherein the one or more OPC markers are expressed in less than 10 days from expression of the at least one engineered nucleic acid encoding SOX9.
9 . The population of claim 6 , wherein at least 40% of the OPCs express at least one marker of the one or more OPC markers.
10 . The population of claim 5 , wherein the OPCs display an increase in the number of myelinated axons by at least two-fold.
11 . The population of claim 5 , wherein at least 30%, at least 40%, at least 50%, or at least 60% of the OPCs express O4, NG2, or both.
12 . The PSC of claim 1 , wherein the OPC expresses a mature myelin marker.
13 . The PSC of claim 1 , wherein the one or more OPC functions comprises forming myelin.
14 . The PSC of claim 1 , wherein the one or more OPC functions comprises secreting a cytokine.
15 . The PSC of claim 1 , wherein the engineered nucleic acid encoding SOX9 is a PiggyBac vector.
16 . The PSC of claim 1 , wherein the engineered nucleic acid encoding SOX9 is operably linked to an inducible promoter.
17 . The PSC of claim 1 , wherein the OPC expresses at least one oligodendrocyte gene, wherein the at least one oligodendrocyte gene comprises one or more of: Myelin Basic Protein (MBP), NK2 Homeobox 1 (NKX2-1), Myelin Oligodendrocyte Glycoprotein (MOG), Myelin Associated Oligodendrocyte Basic Protein (MOBP), OLIG2 (Oligodendrocyte Transcription Factor 2), Chondroitin Sulfate Proteoglycan 4 (CSPG4), Oligodendrocyte Transcription Factor 1 (OLIG1), SRY-Box Transcription Factor 8 (SOX8), SRY-Box Transcription Factor 10 (SOX10), Myelin Regulatory Factor (MYRF), Platelet Derived Growth Factor Receptor Alpha (PDGFRA), Matrix Metallopeptidase 15 (MMP15), Proteolipid Protein 1 (PLP1), Transmembrane Protein 88B (TMEM88B), Ectonucleotide Pyrophosphatase/Phosphodiesterase 6 (ENPP6), and Neurofascin (NFASC).
18 . The PSC of claim 1 , wherein at least one pluripotency gene is down-regulated in the OPC and comprises one or more of: Myelin Regulatory Factor (MYRF), POU Class 5 Homeobox 1 (POU5F1), Nanog Homeobox (NANOG), and SRY-Box Transcription Factor 2 (SOX2).
19 . The population of claim 5 , wherein the PSCs comprise a population average of less than 20 copies of the at least one engineered nucleic acid encoding SOX9.
