Derivation and characterization of putative craniofacial mesenchymal progenitor cells from human induced pluripotent stem cells.

ABSTRACT: The introduction and widespread adoption of induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) technology has opened new avenues for craniofacial regenerative medicine. Neural crest cells (NCCs) are the precursor population to many craniofacial structures, including dental and periodontal structures, and iPSC-derived NCCs may, in the near future, offer an unlimited supply of patient-specific cells for craniofacial repair interventions. Here, we used an established protocol involving simultaneous Wnt signaling activation and TGF-β signaling inhibition to differentiate three human iPSC lines to cranial NCCs. We then derived a mesenchymal progenitor cell (NCC-MPCs) population with chondrogenic and osteogenic potential from cranial NCCs and investigated their similarity to widely studied human postnatal dental or periodontal stem/progenitor cells. NCC-MPCs were quite distinct from both their precursor cells (NCCs) and bone-marrow mesenchymal stromal cells, a stromal population of mesodermal origin. Despite their similarity with dental stem/progenitor cells, NCC-MPCs were clearly differentiated by a core set of 43 genes, including ACKR3 (CXCR7), whose expression (both at transcript and protein level) appear to be specific to NCC-MPCs. Altogether, our data demonstrate the feasibility of craniofacial mesenchymal progenitor derivation from human iPSCs through a neural crest-intermediate and set the foundation for future studies regarding their full differentiation repertoire and their in vivo existence.

Derivation and characterization of putative craniofacial mesenchymal stromal cells from human induced pluripotent stem cells

Project description:The introduction and widespread adoption of induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) technology has opened new avenues for craniofacial regenerative medicine. Neural crest cells (NCCs) are the precursor population to many craniofacial structures, including dental and periodontal structures, and iPSC-derived NCCs may, in the near future, offer an unlimited supply of patient-specific cells for craniofacial repair interventions. Here, we used an established protocol involving simultaneous Wnt signaling activation and TGF-β signaling inhibition to differentiate three human iPSC lines to cranial NCCs. We then derived a putative craniofacial mesenchymal progenitor (PCMP) population with chondrogenic and osteogenic potential from cranial NCCs and investigated their similarity to widely studied human postnatal dental or periodontal stem/progenitor cells. PCMPs were quite distinct from both their precursor cells (NCCs) and bone-marrow mesenchymal stromal cells, a stromal population of mesodermal origin. Despite their similarity with dental stem/progenitor cells, PCMPS were clearly differentiated by a core set of 66 genes, including ACKR3 (CXCR7), whose expression (both at transcript and protein level) appear to be peculiar to PCMPs. Altogether, our data demonstrate the feasibility of craniofacial mesenchymal progenitor derivation from human iPSCs through a neural crest-intermediate and set the foundation for future studies regarding their full differentiation repertoire and their in vivo existence.

Derivation of mesenchymal stem cells from human induced pluripotent stem cells cultured on synthetic substrates.

Project description:Human-induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) may represent an ideal cell source for research and applications in regenerative medicine. However, standard culture conditions that depend on the use of undefined substrates and xenogeneic medium components represent a significant obstacle to clinical translation. Recently, we reported a defined culture system for human embryonic stem cells using a synthetic polymer coating, poly[2-(methacryloyloxy)ethyl dimethyl-(3-sulfopropyl)ammonium hydroxide] (PMEDSAH), in conjunction with xenogeneic-free culture medium. Here, we tested the hypothesis that iPSCs could be maintained in an undifferentiated state in this xeno-free culture system and subsequently be differentiated into mesenchymal stem cells (iPS-MSCs). hiPSCs were cultured on PMEDSAH and differentiated into functional MSCs, as confirmed by expression of characteristic MSC markers (CD166+, CD105+, CD90+,CD73+, CD31-, CD34-, and CD45-) and their ability to differentiate in vitro into adipogenic, chondrogenic, and osteoblastic lineages. To demonstrate the potential of iPS-MSCs to regenerate bone in vivo, the newly derived cells were induced to osteoblast differentiation for 4 days and transplanted into calvaria defects in immunocompromised mice for 8 weeks. MicroCT and histologic analyses demonstrated de novo bone formation in the calvaria defects for animals treated with iPS-MSCs but not for the control group. Moreover, positive staining for human nuclear antigen and human mitochondria monoclonal antibodies confirmed the participation of the transplanted hiPS-MSCs in the regenerated bone. These results demonstrate that hiPSCs cultured in a xeno-free system have the capability to differentiate into functional MSCs with the ability to form bone in vivo.

Derivation and Characterization of Endothelial Cells from Porcine Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells.

Project description:Although the study on the regulatory mechanism of endothelial differentiation from the perspective of development provides references for endothelial cell (EC) derivation from pluripotent stem cells, incomplete reprogramming and donor-specific epigenetic memory are still thought to be the obstacles of iPSCs for clinical application. Thus, it is necessary to establish a stable iPSC-EC induction system and investigate the regulatory mechanism of endothelial differentiation. Based on a single-layer culture system, we successfully obtained ECs from porcine iPSCs (piPSCs). In vitro, the derived piPSC-ECs formed microvessel-like structures along 3D gelatin scaffolds. Under pathological conditions, the piPSC-ECs functioned on hindlimb ischemia repair by promoting blood vessel formation. To elucidate the molecular events essential for endothelial differentiation in our model, genome-wide transcriptional profile analysis was conducted, and we found that during piPSC-EC derivation, the synthesis and secretion level of TGF-β as well as the phosphorylation level of Smad2/3 changed dynamically. TGF-β-Smad2/3 signaling activation promoted mesoderm formation and prevented endothelial differentiation. Understanding the regulatory mechanism of iPSC-EC derivation not only paves the way for further optimization, but also provides reference for establishing a cardiovascular drug screening platform and revealing the molecular mechanism of endothelial dysfunction.

Derivation and characterization of induced pluripotent stem cells from equine fibroblasts.

Project description:Pluripotent stem cells offer unprecedented potential not only for human medicine but also for veterinary medicine, particularly in relation to the horse. Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) are particularly promising, as they are functionally similar to embryonic stem cells and can be generated in vitro in a patient-specific manner. In this study, we report the generation of equine iPSCs from skin fibroblasts obtained from a foal and reprogrammed using viral vectors coding for murine Oct4, Sox2, c-Myc, and Klf4 sequences. The reprogrammed cell lines were morphologically similar to iPSCs reported from other species and could be stably maintained over more than 30 passages. Immunostaining and polymerase chain reaction analyses revealed that these cell lines expressed an array of endogenous markers associated with pluripotency, including OCT4, SOX2, NANOG, REX1, LIN28, SSEA1, SSEA4, and TRA1-60. Furthermore, under the appropriate conditions, the equine iPSCs readily formed embryoid bodies and differentiated in vitro into cells expressing markers of ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm, and when injected into immunodeficient mice, gave raise to tumors containing differentiated derivatives of the 3 germ layers. Finally, we also reprogrammed fibroblasts from a 2-year-old horse. The reprogrammed cells were similar to iPSCs derived from neonatal fibroblasts in terms of morphology, expression of pluripotency markers, and differentiation ability. The generation of these novel cell lines constitutes an important step toward the understanding of pluripotency in the horse, and paves the way for iPSC technology to potentially become a powerful research and clinical tool in veterinary biomedicine.

Generation of craniofacial myogenic progenitor cells from human induced pluripotent stem cells for skeletal muscle tissue regeneration.

Project description:Craniofacial skeletal muscle is composed of approximately 60 muscles, which have critical functions including food uptake, eye movements and facial expressions. Although craniofacial muscles have significantly different embryonic origin, most current skeletal muscle differentiation protocols using human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) are based on somite-derived limb and trunk muscle developmental pathways. Since the lack of a protocol for craniofacial muscles is a significant gap in the iPSC-derived muscle field, we have developed an optimized protocol to generate craniofacial myogenic precursor cells (cMPCs) from human iPSCs by mimicking key signaling pathways during craniofacial embryonic myogenesis. At each different stage, human iPSC-derived cMPCs mirror the transcription factor expression profiles seen in their counterparts during embryo development. After the bi-potential cranial pharyngeal mesoderm is established, cells are committed to cranial skeletal muscle lineages with inhibition of cardiac lineages and are purified by flow cytometry. Furthermore, identities of iPSC-derived cMPCs are verified with human primary myoblasts from craniofacial muscles using RNA sequencing. These data suggest that our new method could provide not only in vitro research tools to study muscle specificity of muscular dystrophy but also abundant and reliable cellular resources for tissue engineering to support craniofacial reconstruction surgery.

Derivation, characterization, and stable transfection of induced pluripotent stem cells from Fischer344 rats.

Project description:The rat represents an important animal model that, in many respects, is superior to the mouse for dissecting behavioral, cardiovascular and other physiological pathologies relevant to humans. Derivation of induced pluripotent stem cells from rats (riPS) opens the opportunity for gene targeting in specific rat strains, as well as for the development of new protocols for the treatment of different degenerative diseases. Here, we report an improved lentivirus-based hit-and-run riPS derivation protocol that makes use of small inhibitors of MEK and GSK3. We demonstrate that the excision of proviruses does not affect either the karyotype or the differentiation ability of these cells. We show that the established riPS cells are readily amenable to genetic manipulations such as stable electroporation. Finally, we propose a genetic tool for an improvement of riPS cell quality in culture. These data may prompt iPS cell-based gene targeting in rat as well as the development of iPS cell-based therapies using disease models established in this species.

Feeder-free derivation of neural crest progenitor cells from human pluripotent stem cells.

Project description:Human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) have great potential for studying human embryonic development, for modeling human diseases in the dish and as a source of transplantable cells for regenerative applications after disease or accidents. Neural crest (NC) cells are the precursors for a large variety of adult somatic cells, such as cells from the peripheral nervous system and glia, melanocytes and mesenchymal cells. They are a valuable source of cells to study aspects of human embryonic development, including cell fate specification and migration. Further differentiation of NC progenitor cells into terminally differentiated cell types offers the possibility to model human diseases in vitro, investigate disease mechanisms and generate cells for regenerative medicine. This article presents the adaptation of a currently available in vitro differentiation protocol for the derivation of NC cells from hPSCs. This new protocol requires 18 days of differentiation, is feeder-free, easily scalable and highly reproducible among human embryonic stem cell (hESC) lines as well as human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC) lines. Both old and new protocols yield NC cells of equal identity.

Methods to produce induced pluripotent stem cell-derived mesenchymal stem cells: Mesenchymal stem cells from induced pluripotent stem cells.

Project description:Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have received significant attention in recent years due to their large potential for cell therapy. Indeed, they secrete a wide variety of immunomodulatory factors of interest for the treatment of immune-related disorders and inflammatory diseases. MSCs can be extracted from multiple tissues of the human body. However, several factors may restrict their use for clinical applications: the requirement of invasive procedures for their isolation, their limited numbers, and their heterogeneity according to the tissue of origin or donor. In addition, MSCs often present early signs of replicative senescence limiting their expansion in vitro, and their therapeutic capacity in vivo. Due to the clinical potential of MSCs, a considerable number of methods to differentiate induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) into MSCs have emerged. iPSCs represent a new reliable, unlimited source to generate MSCs (MSCs derived from iPSC, iMSCs) from homogeneous and well-characterized cell lines, which would relieve many of the above mentioned technical and biological limitations. Additionally, the use of iPSCs prevents some of the ethical concerns surrounding the use of human embryonic stem cells. In this review, we analyze the main current protocols used to differentiate human iPSCs into MSCs, which we classify into five different categories: MSC Switch, Embryoid Body Formation, Specific Differentiation, Pathway Inhibitor, and Platelet Lysate. We also evaluate common and method-specific culture components and provide a list of positive and negative markers for MSC characterization. Further guidance on material requirements to produce iMSCs with these methods and on the phenotypic features of the iMSCs obtained is added. The information may help researchers identify protocol options to design and/or refine standardized procedures for large-scale production of iMSCs fitting clinical demands.

Derivation of induced pluripotent stem cells from pig somatic cells.

Project description:For reasons that are unclear the production of embryonic stem cells from ungulates has proved elusive. Here, we describe induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) derived from porcine fetal fibroblasts by lentiviral transduction of 4 human (h) genes, hOCT4, hSOX2, hKLF4, and hc-MYC, the combination commonly used to create iPSC in mouse and human. Cells were cultured on irradiated mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEF) and in medium supplemented with knockout serum replacement and FGF2. Compact colonies of alkaline phosphatase-positive cells emerged after approximately 22 days, providing an overall reprogramming efficiency of approximately 0.1%. The cells expressed porcine OCT4, NANOG, and SOX2 and had high telomerase activity, but also continued to express the 4 human transgenes. Unlike human ESC, the porcine iPSC (piPSC) were positive for SSEA-1, but negative for SSEA-3 and -4. Transcriptional profiling on Affymetrix (porcine) microarrays and real time RT-PCR supported the conclusion that reprogramming to pluripotency was complete. One cell line, ID6, had a normal karyotype, a cell doubling time of approximately 17 h, and has been maintained through >220 doublings. The ID6 line formed embryoid bodies, expressing genes representing all 3 germ layers when cultured under differentiating conditions, and teratomas containing tissues of ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm origin in nude mice. We conclude that porcine somatic cells can be reprogrammed to form piPSC. Such cell lines derived from individual animals could provide a means for testing the safety and efficacy of stem cell-derived tissue grafts when returned to the same pigs at a later age.
