Neurogenin 2 (NGN2), a neuronal transcription factor, can expedite differentiation of stem cells into mature glutamatergic neurons. We have utilized an allelic series of previously published and characterized isogenic Huntington's disease (IsoHD) human embryonic stem cell lines (Ooi et al., 2019), carrying different CAG repeat lengths in the first exon of the huntingtin gene. These IsoHDs were modified using CRISPR/Cas9 to insert NGN2 under the TET-ON doxycycline inducible promoter. The resulting IsoHD-NGN2 cell lines retained pluripotency in the absence of doxycycline (DOX), and via addition of DOX to the culturing media differentiation to neurons was achieved within 14 days.
