Machine Learning Based Real-Time Image-Guided Cell Sorting and Classification.

ABSTRACT: Cell classification based on phenotypical, spatial, and genetic information greatly advances our understanding of the physiology and pathology of biological systems. Technologies derived from next generation sequencing and fluorescent activated cell sorting are cornerstones for cell- and genomic-based assays supporting cell classification and mapping. However, there exists a deficiency in technology space to rapidly isolate cells based on high content image information. Fluorescence-activated cell sorting can only resolve cell-to-cell variation in fluorescence and optical scattering. Utilizing microfluidics, photonics, computation microscopy, real-time image processing and machine learning, we demonstrate an image-guided cell sorting and classification system possessing the high throughput of flow cytometer and high information content of microscopy. We demonstrate the utility of this technology in cell sorting based on (1) nuclear localization of glucocorticoid receptors, (2) particle binding to the cell membrane, and (3) DNA damage induced ?-H2AX foci. © 2019 International Society for Advancement of Cytometry.

Project description:The differentiation of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) into diverse functional cell types provides a promising solution to support drug discovery, disease modeling, and regenerative medicine. However, functional cell differentiation is currently limited by the substantial line-to-line and batch-to-batch variability, which severely impede the progress of scientific research and the manufacturing of cell products. For instance, iPSC-to-cardiomyocyte (CM) differentiation is vulnerable with great sensitivity to inappropriate doses of CHIR99021 (CHIR) that are applied in the initial stage of mesoderm differentiation. Here, by harnessing live-cell bright-field imaging and machine learning (ML), we realize real-time cell recognition in the entire differentiation process, e.g., CMs, cardiac progenitor cells (CPCs), iPSC clones, and even misdifferentiated cells. This enables non-invasive prediction of differentiation efficiency, purification of ML-recognized CMs and CPCs for reducing cell contamination, early assessment of the CHIR dose for correcting the misdifferentiation trajectory, and evaluation of initial iPSC colonies for controlling the start point of differentiation, all of which provide a more invulnerable differentiation method with resistance to variability. Moreover, with the established ML models as a readout for the chemical screen, we identify a CDK8 inhibitor to further improve the cell resistance to the overdose of CHIR. Together, this study indicates that artificial intelligence is able to guide and iteratively optimize iPSC differentiation to achieve consistently high efficiency across cell lines and batches, providing a better understanding and rational modulation of the differentiation process for functional cell manufacturing in biomedical applications. With the assistance of RNA sequencing, we transcriptomically characterize the image-recognized CPCs (IR-CPCs), the cells treated with different CHIR doses at stage I, iPSC-CM treated with or without BI-1347, and cells treated with or without BI-1347 at stage I.
