Cytotoxic-induced cell changes and cell fusion events are alternative explanations for these observations in culture and transplantation studies, respectively. Here, we show that BM-MSCs neural transdifferentiation involves a formation of dedifferentiated cells that can then redifferentiate into neural-like cells, redifferentiate back to mesenchymal fate, or even switch lineages repeatedly without cell division. Futhermore, we have discovered that nuclei from dedifferentiated cells move within the cell adopting different morphologies and even forming binucleated cells. In addition, we noted that dedifferentiated cells position their nucleus at the forefront of the cell during cell migration. Our result show that human BM-MSCs can rapidly adopt a neural-like morphology and binuclear human BM-MSCs can be formed without being related to cell fusion events. We provide additional evidences that BM-MSCs can transdifferentiate into neural cells.
