Glial cells can be in vivo reprogrammed into functional neurons in the adult CNS; however, the process by which this reprogramming occurs is unclear. Here, we show that a distinct cellular sequence is involved in SOX2-driven in situ conversion of adult astrocytes to neurons. This includes ASCL1+ neural progenitors and DCX+ adult neuroblasts (iANBs) as intermediates. Importantly, ASCL1 is required, but not sufficient, for the robust generation of iANBs in the adult striatum. These progenitor-derived iANBs predominantly give rise to calretinin+ interneurons when supplied with neurotrophic factors or the small-molecule valproic acid. Patch-clamp recordings from the induced neurons reveal subtype heterogeneity, though all are functionally mature, fire repetitive action potentials, and receive synaptic inputs. Together, these results show that SOX2-mediated in vivo reprogramming of astrocytes to neurons passes through proliferative intermediate progenitors, which may be exploited for regenerative medicine. SOX2 induces ASCL1-positive neural progenitors in the adult mouse brain Ascl1 in resident astrocytes is required for SOX2-mediated in vivo reprogramming Induced ASCL1-positive neural progenitors generate mature calretinin neurons In this article, Zhang and colleagues reveal that SOX2-mediated in vivo reprogramming of adult astrocytes transits through ASCL1-positive neural progenitors. These progenitors further generate DCX-positive neuroblasts and functionally mature neurons in the adult mouse striatum. This stepwise and expandable in vivo reprogramming process may be exploited for neural regeneration by using resident glial cells.
