Induced pluripotent stem cells ( iPSC s) are useful for modeling neuron development and related diseases. Cortical interneurons are essential players in neuropsychiatric diseases such as autism. mi RNA s are a class of pivotal regulators in neural differentiation. Using a previously established model of cortical interneuron differentiation from human embryonic stem cells, we profiled mi RNA s involved in differentiation from human iPSC s. A number of mi RNA s were modulated in the differentiation process. This study captured the temporal in vitro neurogenesis from iPSC s to mature cortical interneurons. The specific mi RNA s identified at each stage of differentiation are of potential use for drug discovery and prospective clinical applications.
