제목 Thermo-responsive nanoparticle-mediated delivery of retinoic acid into human induced pluripotent stem cells for enhanced neuronal differentiation
초록 Neuronal differentiation of human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) has been studied for application to diverse neurodegenerative diseases. Retinoic acid (RA) is a transcriptional factor known to enhance neuronal differentiation of neural stem cells or progenitor cells. In this study, we report thermo-responsive poly(N-isopropylacrylamide-co-acrylamide) (PNIPAM-co-Am) nanoparticles to efficiently deliver RA into hiPSCs for neuronal differentiation. The synthesized PNIPAM-co-Am nanoparticles exhibited the change of nanoparticle size depending on incubation temperature. The PNIPAM-co-AM nanoparticles incorporated with RA were efficiently transferred into hiPSCs and significantly promoted neuronal differentiation of hiPSCs. In conclusion, thermos-responsive nanoparticles developed in this study could be useful for improving therapeutic efficacy of hiPSCs.
