Abstract
Cell replacement therapy is an area of increasing interest for treating Parkinson's disease (PD). However, to become a clinically practical option for PD patients, it must first overcome significant barriers, including establishment of safe and standardized surgical procedures, determination of appropriate perioperative medication regimens, demonstration of long-term graft survival and incorporation, and standardized, clinically meaningful follow-up measures. In this review, we will describe the current status of cell therapy for PD with special attention to these critical requirements, to define guideposts on the road to bring the benefit of this therapy to the Parkinson's clinic.

Abstract
Over the past few decades, high-throughput screening (HTS) has made great contributions to new drug discovery. HTS technology is equipped with higher throughput, minimized platforms, more automated and computerized operating systems, more efficient and sensitive detection devices, and rapid data processing systems. At the same time, in vitro neurogenesis is gradually becoming important in establishing models to investigate the mechanisms of neural disease or developmental processes. However, challenges remain in generating more mature and functional neurons with specific subtypes and in establishing robust and standardized three-dimensional (3D) in vitro models with neural cells cultured in 3D matrices or organoids representing specific brain regions. Here, we review the applications of HTS technologies on in vitro neurogenesis, especially aiming at identifying the essential genes, chemical small molecules and adaptive microenvironments that hold great prospects for generating functional neurons or more reproductive and homogeneous 3D organoids. We also discuss the developmental tendency of HTS technology, e.g., so-called next-generation screening, which utilizes 3D organoid-based screening combined with microfluidic devices to narrow the gap between in vitro models and in vivo situations both physiologically and pathologically.

J Cell Mol Med 2021; 25:9884-9889. [PMID: 34535974 PMCID: PMC8505847 DOI: 10.1111/jcmm.16900] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/15/2021] [Revised: 08/18/2021] [Accepted: 08/24/2021] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
A major limiting factor for cell therapy in Parkinson's disease is the poor survival and reinnervation capacity of grafted dopaminergic neurons, independently of the cell source. Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) have high capability to regulate the local environment through the release of trophic, antiapoptotic and immunomodulatory factors. In this work, we investigated whether co-grafting of MSCs could improve the survival and reinnervation ability of dopaminergic precursors transplanted in animal models of Parkinson's disease. Rats with total unilateral dopaminergic denervation were grafted with a cell suspension of rat dopaminergic precursors (500,000 cells) with or without a high (200,000 cells) or low (25,000 cells) number of MSCs. Eight weeks after grafting, rats were tested for motor behaviour and sacrificed for histological analysis. Our results showed that the survival of dopaminergic neurons and graft-derived striatal dopaminergic innervation was higher in rats that received co-grafts containing a low number of MSCs than in non-co-grafted controls. However, the survival of dopaminergic neurons and graft-derived dopaminergic reinnervation was lower in rats receiving co-grafts with high number of MSCs than in non-co-grafted controls. In conclusion, co-grafting with MSCs or MSCs-derived products may constitute a useful strategy to improve dopaminergic graft survival and function. However, a tight control of MSCs density or levels of MSCs-derived products is necessary.
