Differentiation of the pluripotent neuroepithelium into neurons and glia is accomplished by the interaction of growth factors and cell-type restricted transcription factors. One approach to obtaining a particular neuronal phenotype is by recapitulating the expression of these factors in embryonic stem (ES) cells. Toward the eventual goal of auditory nerve replacement, the aim of the current investigation was to generate auditory nerve-like glutamatergic neurons from ES cells. Transient expression of Neurog1 promoted widespread neuronal differentiation in vitro; when supplemented with brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF), 75% of ES cell-derived neurons attained a glutamatergic phenotype after 5 d in vitro. Mouse ES cells were also placed into deafened guinea pig cochleae and Neurog1 expression was induced for 48 h followed by 26 d of BDNF/GDNF infusion. In vivo differentiation resulted in 50-75% of ES cells bearing markers of early neurons, and a majority of these cells had a glutamatergic phenotype. This is the first study to report a high percentage of ES cell differentiation into a glutamatergic phenotype and sets the stage for cell replacement of auditory nerve.
