Project description:Human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) constitute an important breakthrough in regenerative medicine, particularly in orthopedics, where more effective treatments are urgently needed. Despite the promise of hiPSCs only limited data on in vitro chondrogenic differentiation of hiPSCs are available. Therefore,the global gene expression profile of chondrocyte-like cells derived from hiPSCs (ChiPS) were compared to the hiPSCs (GPCCi001-A cell line) and to two cell lines of mature chondrocytes: HC-402-05a (Merck Millipore, Germany) (HC) and primary articular cartilage chondrocytes (ACC).

Project description:Differentiated chondrocytes from populations of human bone marrow stromal cells including skeletal stem cells (hBMSCs/SSCs) and induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) have the potential to restore damaged cartilage, yet chondrocyte hypertrophy is a barrier for translational therapy. However, hBMSCs/SSCs attached to a hyaluronic acid-coated fibrin microbead scaffold (HyA-FMBs) produce cartilage that resists hypertrophy. We show that HyA-FMBs initially suppress Bone Morphogenic Protein (BMP) signaling early in chondrogenic differentiation of hBMSCs/SSCs, then restore BMP signaling in a stable chondrogenic population enriched for Insulin-like Growth Factor Binding Protein 5 and Matrix Gla Protein. We subsequently developed a serumfree hiPSC differentiation strategy that inhibited, then activated BMP signaling in a purified subpopulation derived from ?chondrospheroids? that exhibited stable expression of Type II Collagen, Aggrecan (ACAN), and Lubricin (PRG4) and minimal e xpression of Type X Collagen. Overall, timed, and selective BMP signaling restrains chondrocyte hypertrophy, supporting the potential of chondrospheroid-derived cells for clinical utility in osteoarthritis.

Project description:Human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) possess the ability to differentiate into chondrocytes and produce cartilaginous matrix without the need to biopsy healthy cartilage. However, this strategy is not without risk given that those transplanted cells can be subjected to IR during Head and Neck (H&N) (re-)treatment. The main aim of this study was to investigate the microRNA expression profile after ionizing radiation (IR) treatment of chondrocyte-like cells differentiated from hiPSCs. The differentiated hiPSC into chondrocyte were irradiated in accordance with conventional therapy, hypofractionation and hyperfractionation protocols (1, 2, 3 Gy) intended for larynx region. Then, to fulfill specific objective we performed following high-throughput analysis: gene expression profile based on microarrays. Our findings allowed for the selection of crucial biological processes activated in hiPSC-derived chondrocytes after IR. Moreover, we observed decrease of expression of genes involved in e.g. cell cycle and cell division. Next, we have selected crucial microRNAs which are responsible for controlling genes of aforementioned biological processes. Microarray data were confirmed by RT-qPCR technique. We have proved that IR have a great impact on DDR mechanisms of hiPSCs differentiated towards chondrogenic lineage.

Moreover, we observed decrease of expression of genes involved in e.g. cell cycle and cell division. Microarray data were confirmed by RT-qPCR technique. We have proved that IR have a great impact on DDR mechanisms of hiPSCs differentiated towards chondrogenic lineage.

Project description:It has been notoriously challenging for researchers in the fields of stem cell biology and regenerative medicine to robustly generate uniform populations of differentiated cells from human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs). In particular, the process of iPSC chondrogenesis has been difficult to reproduce among different laboratories. While several differentiation protocols are being developed, few, if any, yield homogenous hiPSC-derived chondrocytes without any off-target contaminating cells. To improve homogeneity of hiPSC chondrogenesis, we have developed the first application of single-cell RNA sequencing to systemically deconstruct each differentiation step and delineate molecular mechanisms underlying lineage commitment of hiPSCs toward chondrocytes. We identified that MITF as well as several specific canonical and non-canonical WNTs are hub genes of gene regulatory networks governing the off-target differentiation into neural cells and melanocytes during hiPSC chondrogenesis. By inhibiting these off-target molecules, we significantly enhanced chondrogenic lineage commitment of hiPSCs without cell sorting. Using sequencing data of day 28 (pellet time point) as an example, the percentage of chondrocytes within the pellet was improved from 59.63% (standard protocol) to 87.92% (optimized protocol; note: the other 12.07% belong to mesenchymal cells). Importantly, none of the off-target neural cells and melanocytes were detected, suggesting 100% removal of off-target differentiation by the optimized method. Our optimized protocol was validated by 3 unique hiPSC lines and 3 unique hMSC lines, indicating the protocol can be broadly applied to multiple cell lines. Moreover, therapeutic efficacy of hiPSC-derived chondrocytes was further validated in vivo by subcutaneous implantation and osteochondral defect repair in immunodeficient mice. In addition to the 11 consecutive time points from mesodermal to chondrogenic differentiation stages that were sequenced by bulk RNA-seq, we also sequenced 14 chondrogenic time points at single cell resolution. We believe that our bioinformatic analyses including gene regulatory networks, multicellular signaling models, as well as the large amount of data reported here will provide invaluable resources to investigate cell fate decision during human cartilage development.

Project description:Regeneration of human cartilage is inherently inefficient; an abundant autologous source like human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSC) is therefore attractive for engineering cartilage. Here, we report a defined growth factor based protocol for differentiating hiPSC into articular-like chondrocytes within two weeks with a high efficiency. The hiPSC-derived chondrocytes (hiChondrocytes) are stable and comparable to adult articular chondrocytes in global gene expression, extracellular matrix production and in their ability to generate cartilage tissue in vitro and in immune-deficient mice. Molecular characterization identified an early Sox9lowCD44lowCD140low pre-chondrogenic mesodermal population during hiPSC differentiation that eventually generates a homogenous population of Sox9highCD44highCD140high hiChondrocytes. Additionally, global gene expression analyses revealed two distinct Sox9-regulated gene networks in the Sox9low and Sox9high populations providing novel molecular insights into chondrogenic fate commitment and differentiation. Our findings present a favorable method for generation of hiPSC-derived articular chondrocytes in terms of safety and efficiency. 10 samples were analysed (duplicate sets of 5 time points) to assess changing gene expression over the course of differentiation from iPSC to hiChondrocyte. All samples were compared relative to the undifferentiated iPSC. Adult chondrocytes (2 samples) were also included for comparison. We analyzed the changes in gene expression with differentiation; genes with a fold-change â?¥ or â?¤1.5, with a difference in intensity of >100 and within the lower 90% confidence bound were selected.

Project description:Joint injury and osteoarthritis affect millions of people worldwide, but attempts to generate articular cartilage using adult stem/progenitor cells have been unsuccessful. We hypothesized that recapitulation of the human developmental chondrogenic program using pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) may represent a superior approach for cartilage restoration. Using laser capture microdissection followed by microarray analysis, we first defined a surface phenotype (CD146low/negCD166low/negCD73+CD44lowBMPR1B+) distinguishing the earliest cartilage committed cells (pre-chondrocytes) at 5-6 weeks of development; pellet assays confirmed these cells as functional, chondrocyte-restricted progenitors. Flow cytometry, qPCR and immunohistochemistry at 17 weeks revealed that the superficial layer of peri-articular chondrocytes was enriched in cells with this surface phenotype. Isolation of cells with a similar immunophenotype from differentiating human PSCs revealed a population of CD166negBMPR1B+ putative pre-chondrocytes. Functional characterization confirmed these cells as cartilage-committed, chondrocyte progenitors. The identification of a specific molecular signature for primary cartilagecommitted progenitors may provide essential knowledge for the generation of purified, clinically relevant cartilage cells from PSCs. A total of 15 samples were analyzed. In the first comparison, there were 6 biological replicates for both the chondrogenic condensations and total limb cells. In the second comparison, three biological replicates of chondrocytes from the articular region were compared to the 6 replicates of the condensations.

Project description:Differentiated chondrocytes from human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) have the potential to permanently restore damaged cartilage in arthritic joints, yet chondrocyte hypertrophy is a major barrier for translational therapy. We developed a serum-free hiPSC differentiation strategy that inhibited, then activated BMP signaling in a purified SOX9+ subpopulation that naturally detaches from monolayer cultures (termed “chondrospheroids”). Transcriptional profiles of chondrospheroids at days 14, 28, and 42 were measured using bulk RNA sequencing, with hiPSC and sclerotome cells included as controls.
