Advances in the field of cellular reprogramming have challenged the tenet that asserted that the cells from the nervous system are not able to change their identity once they are differentiated.
In fact, rent studies have proved that postnatal and adult mice’s cortex’s astroglia, can be reprogrammed in vitro e in vivo, resulting in neurons. This was achieved by the over expression of neurogenic transcription factors, opening new possibilities to the use of endogenous astroglia, helping to treat cerebral damages. Therefore, our hypothesis presents that the glial cells can be used for neural restoration after damage or a sensorial loss. In this essay, we prove that the thalamic astrocytes -a key structure for the right organization of the brain and its connections- can be reprogrammed in vitro, resulting on thalamocortical neurons. For that, the first thing we did was detecting which one was the best transcription factor for the right reprogramming of thalamic astrocytes to thalamocortical neurons, comparing it with its effect in cortical astrocytes, that were used as control culture as they are a region studied already.Once the project was finished, we concluded that the identities of the reprogrammed neurons seem to correspond to the region where the astrocytes come from, despite using the same transcription factor -Neurogenin 2- for reprogramming in both instances.
