| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In order to establish research materials useful for revealing neuronal abnormalities in autistic patient, we have introduced re-programing agents into dental pulp stem cells obtained from 10 autistic patients. During the period, we could established two induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cell clones derived from autistic patients. These iPS cell clones can differentiate into the neuronal lineage expressing several markers for neuronal precursor cells. At this differentiated stage, however, we could not find clear abnormalities in morphology and proliferative potential compared with neuronal precursor cells differentiated from control iPS cells. In spite of the results, we emphasize that these iPS clones derived from autistic patients are useful materials to reveal detailed neuronal abnormalities of autism in future in vitro studies.
