Restoring sensation after injury or disease requires a reproducible method for generating large quantities of bona fide somatosensory interneurons. Toward this goal, we assess the mechanisms by which dorsal spinal interneurons (dIs; dI1–dI6) can be derived from mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs). Using two developmentally relevant growth factors, retinoic acid (RA) and bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) 4, we recapitulate the complete in vivo program of dI differentiation through a neuromesodermal intermediate. Transcriptional profiling reveals that mESC-derived dIs strikingly resemble endogenous dIs, with the correct molecular and functional signatures. We further demonstrate that RA specifies dI4–dI6 fates through a default multipotential state, while the addition of BMP4 induces dI1–dI3 fates and activates Wnt signaling to enhance progenitor proliferation. Constitutively activating Wnt signaling permits the dramatic expansion of neural progenitor cultures. These cultures retain the capacity to differentiate into diverse populations of dIs, thereby providing a method of increasing neuronal yield. Gupta et al. develop protocols to derive a full complement of bona fide spinal sensory interneurons from mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs). They further identify key cellular states that contribute to the interneuron diversity and identify Wnt signaling as a target to expand spinal progenitors in vitro for producing sensory interneurons in large quantities for therapeutic applications.
