Abstract:  
Introduction: The extract of pluripotent stem cells induces dedifferentiation of somatic cells with restricted plasticity. 
Methods: In this study, we used the extract of human embryonic stem cells (hESC) to dedifferentiate adipose tissue-derived stem cells (ADSCs) and examined the impact of this reprogramming event on the dopaminergic differentiation of the cells. For this purpose, cytoplasmic extract of ESCs was prepared by repeated freezing and thawing cycles. The plasma membrane of hADSCs was reversibly permeabilized by streptolysin O (SLO), exposed to hESC extract, and resealed by a CaCl2-containing medium. 
Results: As revealed by qPCR analysis, expression of OCT4, SOX2, NANOG, LIN28A, and KLF4 mRNAs were downregulated in the ADSCs one week after extract incubation, while all mRNAs except for KLF4 were upregulated at the end of the second week. For dopaminergic differentiation, control and reprogrammed ADSCs were induced by a serum-free neurobasal medium containing B27 and a cocktail of sonic hedgehog (SHH), basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), fibroblastic growth factor 8 (FGF8), and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) for 12 days. After differentiation, the expression levels of some neuronal and dopaminergic-related genes, including PAX6, NESTIN, NEFL, GLI1, LMXB1, EN1, NURR1, and TH, significantly increased in the reprogrammed ADSCs compared to the control group. On the whole, two weeks after reprogramming by ESC extract, ADSCs showed an improved dopaminergic differentiation potential. 
Conclusion: These findings suggest that the cytoplasmic extract of hESCs contains some regulatory factors which induce the expression of pluripotency-associated markers in somatic cells and that the exposure to ESC extract may serve as a simple and rapid strategy to enhance the plasticity of somatic stem cells for cell replacement therapy purposes.
