High-throughput screening in embryonic stem cell-derived neurons identifies potentiators of alpha-amino-3-hydroxyl-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionate-type glutamate receptors

Summary: Mouse vs Human neural cells produce different results in drug discovery assay. Mouse ESC and ArunA neural cells derived from human ESC were used in a FLIPR high throughput assay for AMPA potentiation compound testing.  Both cells generated repeatable and robust cells however results did differ.  Table 1 summarizes the results between the two species.  The authors conclude ….”recent advances suggest that hES cell-derived neurons can be reproducibly scaled and quality-controlled during differentiation to consider moving directly to primary HTS in human cells …. this may eliminate translational differences between murine and human cellular generated data, as was observed in this study where 4/21 hits showed a 10 fold affinity difference between mouse and human cells.”

Quantitative assessment of neurite outgrowth in human embryonic stem cell-derived hN2 cells using automated high-content image analysis

Summary: Thaw and use neuronal cells derived from hESC generates rapid and repeatable results in a neurite outgrowth high content imaging toxicity assay. ArunA hN2 human embryonic stem cell derived neural cells were used in an automated high-content image analysis to measure neurite outgrowth in vitro. These thaw and use hN2 cells generated neurites within six hrs and by 24  and 48 hrs there was a concentration-dependent decrease in neurite outgrowth and ATP-content were observed following treatment with either bisindolylmaleimide I, U0126, lithium chloride, sodium orthovanadate and brefeldin A  (Figure 6).  All of which have previously been shown to inhibit neurite outgrowth in primary rodent neural cultures.  The authors suggest that this study “supports the hypothesis that measurements of neurite outgrowth are more sensitive than measures of cell health in the context of neurotoxicity screening… and  hN2 cells provide a model in which to investigate the processes of neurite outgrowth in the context of human biology.

Ion channels and ionotrophic receptors in human embryonic stem cell derived neural progenitors

Summary: In this study ArunA neural progenitor (hNP1™) cells and cells differentiated from the hNP1™ cells were characterized under non directed basal conditions where bFGF was removed from the culture medium.  Using these same basal (low cost) conditions ArunA hNP1™ cells under whole-cell voltage clamp exhibited delayed rectifier potassium channel currents and exhibited tetrodotoxin sensitive, voltage-dependent sodium channel current.  Although previous studies have demonstrated functional electrophysiological properties when hESC cells are differentiated to neural cells these prior studies used expensive cocktails of growth factors in extensive cultures.  ArunA hNP1™ cells can be used in higher throughput electrophysiological studies using a minimal cost format.

Ion channels and ionotrophic receptors in human embryonic stem cell derived neural progenitors

Summary: In this study ArunA neural progenitor (hNP1™) cells and cells differentiated from the hNP1™ cells were characterized under non directed basal conditions where bFGF was removed from the culture medium.  Using these same basal (low cost) conditions ArunA hNP1™ cells under whole-cell voltage clamp exhibited delayed rectifier potassium channel currents and exhibited tetrodotoxin sensitive, voltage-dependent sodium channel current.  Although previous studies have demonstrated functional electrophysiological properties when hESC cells are differentiated to neural cells these prior studies used expensive cocktails of growth factors in extensive cultures.  ArunA hNP1™ cells can be used in higher throughput electrophysiological studies using a minimal cost format.

Neurite Outgrowth

References ArunA Product

Quantitative assessment of neurite outgrowth in human embryonic stem cell-derived hN2 cells using automated high-content image analysis

Summary: Thaw and use neuronal cells derived from hESC generates rapid and repeatable results in a neurite outgrowth high content imaging toxicity assay. ArunA hN2 human embryonic stem cell derived neural cells were used in an automated high-content image analysis to measure neurite outgrowth in vitro. These thaw and use hN2 cells generated neurites within six hrs and by 24  and 48 hrs there was a concentration-dependent decrease in neurite outgrowth and ATP-content were observed following treatment with either bisindolylmaleimide I, U0126, lithium chloride, sodium orthovanadate and brefeldin A  (Figure 6).  All of which have previously been shown to inhibit neurite outgrowth in primary rodent neural cultures.  The authors suggest that this study “supports the hypothesis that measurements of neurite outgrowth are more sensitive than measures of cell health in the context of neurotoxicity screening… and  hN2 cells provide a model in which to investigate the processes of neurite outgrowth in the context of human biology.
