Definition:
• stem cells:
(i) renew itself indefinitely
(ii) differentiate to multiple tissue types
A stem cell is not committed to
a specific function until it receives
a signal to differentiate into a
specialized cell

replaced with the nucleus
of a mature, "somatic cell"
(a skin cell, for example).

Avoiding Immune rejection:
1. Genetically engineering stem cell to:
a. Express MHC antigens of recipient
b. produces stem cells with deleted MHC genes
2. Therapeutic Cloning:
Clone somatic Cell nucleus of recipient into egg
develop into blastocyst and isolate ES cells
Such ES cells have recipient immunological profile
3. Co-transplantation with Hematopoitic Stem cells

Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells (iPSCs):
= Retro-differentiation = Re-programming
Producing stem cells from differentiated cells !!!
Pluripotent embryonic like stem cells are produced
Reversal of normal process

Main Key Genes:
- iPSCs are derived from adult somatic cells by inducing expression
of certain Stemness genes: (usually by viral vectors: risk !!!)
- eg: Master transcriptional regulators:
Oct-4
Sox2
Nonog
- other genes: c-Myc (oncogene: cancer risk !!!!)

Stem Cells and Neurological Disorders
Neural stem cells:
- Generate new neural cells throughout the lifetime
- Can migrate and replace dying neurons
- Give rise to all types of neurons, astrocytes and oligodendrocytes, …
- Capable of only Minor repairs
- Their activity is up-regulated following injury
- Found in:
- Sub-ventricular zone of lateral ventricles (Most neurogenic area)
- Dentate gyrus of Hippocampus (2nd)
fewer in:
- Cerebellum
- Spinal Cord

Stem Cells and Neurological Disorders
Therapeutic Applications:
Main target disorders:
- Parkinson’s: localized degeneration (in substantia nigra) easier cell therapy
- Huntington’s: clear etiology, single gene disorders (Gene/Cell Therapy)
- Alzheimer : damage is less defined, widespread neuro-degeneration
- Spinal Cord injuries: very promising prospects
- Other: - Multiple Sclerosis (Siatskas and Bernard, 2009)
- Ischemia / stroke
- Epilepsy (Naegele et al., 2010)
- Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) (Wolfson et al., 2009).

Stem Cells and Neurological Disorders
Parkinson’s:
- Main Strategy:
- Replacing degenerated neurons with
dopamine-producing cells
- Site:
- Substantia nigra: area were most degeneration occurs in PD
- Source of SCs:
- Pieces of fetal midbrain tissue (Mendez et al., 2005)
- Autologous adult neural stem/progenitor cells (Michel et al., 2009)
- Embryonic SCs (Friling et al. 2009)

Stem Cells and Neurological Disorders
Huntington’s:
- Good Model: well characterized single gene disorder
- Main Strategy:
Blocking neuronal cell death & replacing lost neurons in striatum
- Source of SCs:
- SCs of fetal striatal primordium into striatum of HD patients
(Bachoud-Lévi et al., 2006)
- Autologous adult neural stem/progenitor cells(Yu and Silva, 2008; Visnyei et al., 2006).

Stem Cells and Neurological Disorders
Alzheimer’s:
- Neuro-genesis in hippocampus deteriorates in AD patients
Example approaches: (Lunn et al., 2011)
1. Implanting Neural Stem Cells:
- Replace lost neurons
- Delay degeneration by producing Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF)
2. Nerve growth factor (NGF) production:
- Genetically engineered patient fibroblasts that produce NGF …!!!
- Integration of NGF fibroblasts into a major cholinergic center of the basal
forebrain provided some benefit to AD patients

Stem Cells and Neurological Disorders
Spinal cord injuries: (Salewski et al., 2010; Hu et al., 2010, Mathai et al 2008).
Stem cells can:
1. Replace neurons that died from injury
2. Generate supporting cells to re-form the myelin sheath & stimulate re-
growth of damaged nerves
3. Protect cells at injury site from further damage, by releasing protective factors
Stem cells under trials:
- Embryonic SCs
- Umbilical cord SCs
- Adult neural SCs
- Mesenchymal / bone marrow SCs
- induced pluripotent Scs

Stem Cells and Neurological Disorders
Conclusion:
- Very promising clinical trial results in the last few years
- More research needed to optimize diff. SC replacement protocols:
- Cell type
- Route
- No. of cells
- Single or multiple cell doses
- Choice between ESCs / ASCs / iPSCs: yet to be resolved
- Ethics (ESCs and Fetal tissue): Each Country has to decide
