This article demonstrates the sensitivity of Neuromics' hNP1TM Neural Progenitors to chemically induced apoptosis: Ingrid Druwea, Theresa M. Freudenrich, Kathleen Wallace, Timothy J. Shafer, William R. Mundy. Sensitivity of neuroprogenitor cells to chemical-induced apoptosis using a multiplexed assay suitable for high-throughput screening. doi:10.1016/j.tox.2015.03.011.
Summary: The results demonstrate that, (1) all three commercially available models generated a robust source of proliferating neuroprogenitor cells, and that the assay was sensitive and reproducible when used in a multi-well plate format; (2) there were differences in the response of the rodent and human neuroprogenitor cells to a set of chemicals previously shown to induce apoptosis in vitro; and (3) proliferating neuroprogenitor cells were more sensitive to chemical-induced apoptosis than differentiated neurons, suggesting that neuroprogenitor cells are one of the cell models that should be considered for use in a developmental neurotoxicity screening battery.
