Summary (written by the submitters)

Neuronal conversion from human fibroblasts can be induced by lineage-specific transcription factors, holding great promise for human neurological disease modeling and regenerative medicine. However, the introduction of ectopic genes limits their therapeutic applications. Here, we report that neuronal cells could be directly induced from human fibroblasts by a chemical cocktail of seven small molecules bypassing neural progenitor stage.

These chemical-induced neuronal cells (hciN cells) resembled hES-derived neurons regarding morphology, gene expression profiles, and electrophysiological properties. Our further experiments show that hciN cells were able to develop into mature neurons in vivo in embryonic mouse brain. Moreover, this approach was further applied to induce hciN cells from fibroblasts of familial Alzheimer’s disease patients and the hciN cells showed abnormal Aβ production. Together, we established a transgene-free chemical approach to directly induce neuronal cells from human fibroblasts, thus providing alternative strategies for modeling of related neurological diseases and regenerative medicine. We used microarray to comparethe global gene expression patterns of hES-derived neurons (control neurons), HAFs, pre-hciN cells (VCRFSGY-treated HAFs at day 3 and 7) and hciN cells (induced with VCRFSGY for 14 days)

3 · The original raw files

Whole study · RAW.tar

Everything the authors deposited as one archive (GSE69480_RAW.tar), including the raw array or instrument files. Can be large; the picker in step 2 takes just the samples you need.

Whole study · RAW.tar ↓

What the files usually look like: For arrays the series matrix is normally the normalised expression table you want; the raw array files (CEL and similar) are in the RAW.tar.

Also filed as BioProject PRJNA285692. Searching any of these in the dataset finder brings you back here.
