In vitro monitoring of HTR2A-positive neurons derived from human-induced pluripotent stem cells

Abstract The serotonin 5-HT2A receptor (5-HT2AR) has been receiving increasing attention because its genetic variants have been associated with a variety of neurological diseases. To elucidate the pathogenesis of the neurological diseases associated with 5-HT2AR gene (HTR2A) variants, we have previo...

To elucidate the pathogenesis of the neurological diseases associated with 5-HT2AR gene (HTR2A) variants, we have previously established a protocol to induce HTR2A-expressing neurons from human-induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs). Here, we investigated the maturation stages and electrophysiological properties of HTR2A-positive neurons induced from hiPSCs and constructed an HTR2A promoter-specific reporter lentivirus to label the neurons. We found that neuronal maturity increased over time and that HTR2A expression was induced at the late stage of neuronal maturation. Furthermore, we demonstrated successful labelling of the HTR2A-positive neurons, which had fluorescence and generated repetitive action potentials in response to depolarizing currents and an inward current during the application of TCB-2, a selective agonist of 5-HT2ARs, respectively. These results indicated that our in vitro model mimicked the in vivo dynamics of 5-HT2AR.
