Summary The balance between energy intake and expenditure is controlled by the hypothalamus, a small brain region characterised high neuronal diversity. Specifically, arcuate nucleus (ARC) ventromedial hypothalamus (VMH) are key hypothalamic nuclei controlling appetite through behavioural response to circulating humoral signals. Yet, despite their physiological importance, cellular functional characteristics of this highly specialised neural has been studied mainly in animals due lack human models. Here, we fine-tuned differentiation pluripotent stem cells toward ARC VMH identified subtype-specific progenitor markers these subregions. We demonstrate that timing for initiation termination bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signalling essential subregional specification tuberal progenitors along anterior-posterior axis, balancing versus fates. A particular population SHH - /NKX2.1 + /FGF10 /RAX /TBX3 posterior was as source generation ARC-associated agouti-related peptide (AGRP) neurons tanycytes whilst anterior low generated phenotypes including NR5A1 neurons. Upon maturation vitro xenografts, ARC-patterned gave rise appetite-regulating cell types those producing AGRP, prepronociceptin (PNOC), growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH), thyrotropin-releasing (TRH) pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC), well tanycyte glial cells. Differentiated cultures showed transcriptomic similarity displayed evidence functionality AGRP secretion responsiveness leptin fibroblast factor 1 (FGF1). In summary, our work provides insights into developmental lineages underlying enables access cultures, which will provide novel opportunities investigating molecular pathways triggered obesity-associated genetic variants weight-regulating stimuli.
