چکیده انگلیسی
The mechanisms that govern human neural specification are not completely characterized. Here we used human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) to study the role of fibroblast growth factor (FGF)-signaling in early human neural specification. Differentiation was obtained by culturing clusters of hESCs in chemically-defined medium. We show that FGF-signaling, which is endogenously active during early differentiation of hESCs, induces early neural specification, while its blockage inhibits neuralization. The early neuralization effect of FGF-signaling is not mediated by promoting the proliferation of existing neural precursors (NPs) or prevention of their apoptosis. The neural instructive effect of FGF-signaling occurs after an initial FGF-independent differentiation into primitive ectoderm-like fate. We further show that FGF-signaling can induce neuralization by a mechanism which is independent of modulating bone morphogenic protein (BMP)-signaling. Still, FGF-signaling is not essential for hESC neuralization which can occur in the absence of FGF and BMP-signaling. Collectively, our data suggest that human neural induction is instructed by FGF-signaling, though neuralization of hESCs can occur in its absence.
