Zusammenfassung:Described herein is the production neural progenitor cell lines (NPCs) derived from human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). These iPSC-derived NPCs engraft efficiently into the spinal cord of ALS animal models and provide neuroprotection to diseased motor neurons, similar to the fetal-derived cells used in clinical study. Clonal lines were generated with a single copy GDNF construct inserted in the AAVS1 safe landing site, including inducible expression of GDNF expression. These new iPSC-derived NPC lines are scalable to clinically relevant production volumes, uniformly produce GDNF, are safe, and represent a promising new combination therapy for neurodegenerative diseases such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).
