Abstract

Several studies highlighted the importance of the polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2) already at the beginning of development. Although the crucial function of PRC2 in regulating lineage commitment and cell-fate specification has been well-established, the in vitro study of the exact mechanisms for which H3K27me3 is indispensable for proper differentiation is still challenging. In this chapter, we report a well-established and reproducible differentiation protocol to generate striatal medium spiny neurons as a tool to explore PRC2 role in brain development.
