Abstract

AbstractInjury to adult mammalian central nervous system (CNS) axons results in limited regeneration. Rodent studies have revealed a developmental switch in CNS axon regenerative ability, yet whether this is conserved in humans is unknown. Using human fibroblasts from 8 gestational-weeks to 72 years-old, we performed direct reprogramming to transdifferentiate fibroblasts into induced neurons (Fib-iNs), avoiding pluripotency which restores cells to an embryonic state. We found that early gestational Fib-iNs grew longer neurites than all other ages, mirroring the developmental switch in regenerative ability in rodents. RNA-sequencing and screening revealed ARID1A as a developmentally-regulated modifier of neurite growth in human neurons. These data suggest that age-specific epigenetic changes may drive the intrinsic loss of neurite growth ability in human CNS neurons during development.One-Sentence Summary:Directly-reprogrammed human neurons demonstrate a developmental decrease in neurite growth ability.
