In this study, we have focused on the relationship between carbonyl stress and abnormal neural differentiation and development in schizophrenic patient, examined the influence of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) on neural differentiation efficiencies by using iPS cells derived from the schizophrenia patients. Patients iPS cells showed specific AGEs compared to control iPSC. We have found that there is a specificity in proteins that preferentially react with AGEs. We differentiated iPS cells into neurospheres. Neural differentiation efficiencies were decreased in patients iPS cells. Inhibition of carbonyl stress allowed patients neurospheres to recover from decrease in neural differentiation efficiencies.
