<P>Neural stem cells (NSCs) are a prominent cell source for understanding neural pathogenesis and for developing therapeutic applications to treat neurodegenerative disease because of their regenerative capacity and multipotency. Recently, a variety of cellular reprogramming technologies have been developed to facilitate <I>in vitro</I> generation of NSCs, called induced NSCs (iNSCs). However, the genetic safety aspects of established virus-based reprogramming methods have been considered, and non-integrating reprogramming methods have been developed. Reprogramming with <I>in vitro</I> transcribed (IVT) mRNA is one of the genetically safe reprogramming methods because exogenous mRNA temporally exists in the cell and is not integrated into the chromosome. Here, we successfully generated expandable iNSCs from human umbilical cord blood-derived mesenchymal stem cells (UCB-MSCs) via transfection with IVT mRNA encoding SOX2 (SOX2 mRNA) with properly optimized conditions. We confirmed that generated human UCB-MSC-derived iNSCs (UM-iNSCs) possess characteristics of NSCs, including multipotency and self-renewal capacity. Additionally, we transfected human dermal fibroblasts (HDFs) with SOX2 mRNA. Compared with human embryonic stem cell-derived NSCs, HDFs transfected with SOX2 mRNA exhibited neural reprogramming with similar morphologies and NSC-enriched mRNA levels, but they showed limited proliferation ability. Our results demonstrated that human UCB-MSCs can be used for direct reprogramming into NSCs through transfection with IVT mRNA encoding a single factor, which provides an integration-free reprogramming tool for future therapeutic application.</P>
