| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Snai1 was introduced into IMS32(immortalized mouse Schwann cell line) or adult mouse primary Schwann cells using lentivirus. In both Snai1-introduced Schwann cells, their morphologies changed to fibroblast-like appearance suggesting that epithelial mesenchymal transition (EMT) occurred. Also IMS32 acquired sphere-forming capacity, and differentiation potential to oil red O-positive preadipocyte-like cells, while differentiation potential to chondrocytes was not seen. On the other hand, Snai1 introduction did not induce these stem cell-like properties in adult mouse primary Schwann cells. These results will be molecular basis for regenerative therapy using these reprogrammed Schwann cell-derived stem cell-like cells.
