ABSTRACT
Among various strategies to treat neurodegenerative disorders, cell replacement therapies have drawn much attention recently. Such a trend led to the increase in demand for the rare and specialized cells, followed by the outburst development of various cell reprogramming strategies. However, several limitations on these conventional methods remain to be solved, including the genetic instability of the viral vectors and the high cytotoxicity or poor performance of the non-viral carriers. Therefore, non-viral methods need to be developed to ensure safe and efficient cell reprogramming. Here, we introduce a polymer-modified nano-reagent (Polymer-functionalized Nanodot, PolyN) for the safe and efficient, non-viral direct cell reprogramming. PolyN facilitated the highly efficient contemporary overexpression of the transgene compared to the conventional reagent. With our nano-reagent, we demonstrated the SOX2-mediated cell reprogramming and successfully generated the neuron-like cell from the human fibroblast.
