While progress has been made in defining the immune system's role in MS pathophysiology, the contribution of intrinsic CNS cell dysfunction remains unclear. Here, we generated a collection of induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) lines from people with MS spanning diverse clinical subtypes and differentiated them into glia-enriched cultures. Using single-cell transcriptomic profiling and orthogonal analyses, we observed several distinguishing characteristics of MS cultures pointing to glia-intrinsic disease mechanisms. We found that primary progressive MS-derived cultures contained fewer oligodendrocytes. Moreover, MS-derived oligodendrocyte lineage cells and astrocytes showed increased expression of immune and inflammatory genes, matching those of glia from MS postmortem brains. Thus, iPSC-derived MS models provide a unique platform for dissecting glial contributions to disease phenotypes independent of the peripheral immune system and identify potential glia-specific targets for therapeutic intervention.</p>","PeriodicalId":93928,"journal":{"name":"Cell stem cell","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11560525/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142082836","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
