Abstract:
PURPOSE: A method for differentiation and dedifferentiation between adult stem cells and neural cells is provided to enhance differentiation efficiency and to be applied in various therapeutic methods for treating nervous diseases. CONSTITUTION: A method for inducing differentiation between adult stem cells and neural cells comprises a step of controlling an inhibitor of expression or activation of CDKs(cyclin-dependent kinase). The adult stem cells are differentiated into neural cells by treating the inhibitor. The neural cells are dedifferentiated from neural cells into adult stem cells by removing the inhibitor. The inhibitor includes a compound, siRNA, shRNA, antisense olibonucleotide, or antibody. The shRNA for CDK1, CDK2, and CDK4 contains a base sequence of sequence numbers 13 or 14, 15 or 16, and 17 or 18, respectively.
