Project description:In this study, we developed a feeder-, serum-, and animal product-free culture condition, and successfully induced high percentage of SLCs from human PSCs. Genome-wide expression analyses demonstrated a significant upregulation of germ cell specific genes in SLCs derived from PSCs compared to in vivo isolated human CD90+ SSCs. And furthermore, under this optimized feeder-free condition SLCs have went through meiosis and formed putative round spermatids. Our data demonstrated a robust feeder-, serum- and xeno-free protocol to induce differentiation of PSCs to SLCs from which putative haploid spermatids may develop.

Project description:Intestinal epithelial spheroids were isolated from mouse jejunum as described in our previous publication (Miyoshi and Stappenbeck. In vitro expansion and genetic modification of gastrointestinal stem cells in spheroid culture. Nature Protocols. 2013. PMID: 24232249) and then grown in 50% L-WRN conditioned medium (for stem cells) or differentiation medium containing dmPGE2 (for wound-associated epithelial cells) or differentiation medium containing EP4 inhibitor (for enterocytes). Transcription profiling was performed to gain insight into the characteristics distinguishing these cell types.

Project description:In this study, we sought to examine whether an extracellular matrix (ECM)-based xeno-free culture system that we recently established could be used together with a microRNA-enhanced mRNA reprogramming method for the generation of clinically safe iPS cells. The notable features of this method are (1) the use of a xeno-free/feeder-free culture system for the generation and expansion of iPS cells rather than the conventional labor-intensive culture systems using human feeder cells or human feeder-conditioned medium and (2) the enhancement of mRNA-mediated reprogramming via the delivery of microRNAs. Strikingly, we observed the early appearance of iPS cell colonies (~11 days), substantial reprogramming efficiency (~0.2-0.3%), and a high percentage of ESC-like colonies among the total colonies (~87.5%), indicating enhanced kinetics and reprogramming efficiency. Therefore, the combined method established in this study provides a valuable platform for the generation and expansion of clinically safe (i.e., integration- and xeno-free) iPS cells, facilitating immune-matched cell therapy in the near future.

Project description:Spheroids are 3D multi-cell aggregates formed in non-addherent culture conditions. In ovarian cancer (OC), they serve as a vehicle for cancer cell dissemination in the peritoneal cavity. We investigated genes and networks upregulated in three dimensional (3D) versus two-dimensional (2D) culture conditions by Affymetrix gene expression profiling and identified ALDH1A1, a cancer stem cell marker as being upregulated in OC spheroids. Network analysis confirmed ALDH1A1 upregulation in spheroids in direct connection with elements of the beta-catenin pathway. A parallel increase in the expression levels of beta-catenin and ALDH1A1 was demonstrated in spheroids vs. monolayers an in successive spheroid generations by using OC cell liness and primary OC cells. The percentage of Aldefluor positive cells was significantly higher in spheroids vs. monolayers in IGROV1, A2780, SKOV3, and primary OC cells. B-catenin knock-down decreased ALDH1A1 expression and chromatin immunoprecipitation demonstrated that beta-catenin directly binds to the ALDH1A1 promoter. Both siRNA mediated beta-catenin knock-down and a novel ALDH1A1 small molecule enzymatic inhibitor described here for the first time, decreased the number of OC spheroids (p<0.001) and cell viability. These data strongly support the role of beta-catenin regulated ALDH1A1 in the maintenance of OC spheroids and of a stem cell phenotype and propose new ALDH1A1 inhibitors targeting this cell population. Different gene profiles were observed in ovarian cancer spheroids versus ovarian cancer monolayers. Nine samples were analyzed in triplicate. Each group is a reference.

Project description:To identify mutant p53-dependent pathway alterations that are enhancing spheroid survival properties in mouse oviductal epithelial (OVE) cell lines, we generated OVE4 and OVE16 cell lines with either Trp53 deletion or stable expression of p53R175H. RNA-seq was performed on RNA from OVE spheroids to determine differential gene expression. Gene set enrichment analysis was performed to indentify enriched pathways in parental OVE spheroids compared to spheroids with Trp53 deletion or expression of p53R175H

Project description:Spheroids, near spherical multicellular aggregates, are one of the most common types of threedimensional (3D) cell cultures. Despite decades of implementation of spheroid technology in various fields of life science and medical research, no minimal information (MI) guidelines are available to cope with heterogeneity and to stimulate transparency. To cope with this unmet need, we assembled an international consortium to develop the MISpheroID knowledgebase (https://www.mispheroid.org) and interrogation revealed heterogeneity and lack of transparency in published spheroid-related experiments. This steered us to empirically evaluate the impact of cell line, culture medium type, spheroid formation method and spheroid size on complementary spheroid metrics (RNA fingerprints, presence of cell death, ATP content, glucose to lactate conversion, secreted protein signatures, circularity, size and cancer therapy response). We measured media-induced transcriptional variation in lung cancer (A549), colorectal cancer (HCT116), ovarium cancer (SKOV3) and glioblastoma (U87MG) spheroids using RNA sequencing (RNA-seq). These spheroids were formed in ultra-low attachment plates and cultured in 6 different media types (DMEM high glucose, DMEM/F12, RPMI1640, DMEM low glucose, EMEM and MEM) for 5 (HCT116) or 7 (A549, SKOV3 and U87MG) days. RNA extraction was performed on 2 spheroids per condition using the miRNeasy micro kit (217084, Qiagen, Hilden, Germany). RNA-sequencing libraries were prepared from purified RNA using the QuantSeq 3' mRNA-Seq Library Prep Kit FWD for Illumina (Lexogen, Vienna, Austria) according to the manufacturer's instructions, using 27.5ng of RNA that was DNase treated using HL-dsDNA (Arcticzymes, TromsØ, Norway). The individual libraries were quantified by qPCR using the KAPA Library Quantification Kit (Roche, Pleasanton, CA, US) and equimolarly pooled. The pool concentration was measured with Qubit and 1.4pM with 1% PhiX was sequenced on a NextSeq 500 (Illumina, San Diego, CA, US) using a high-output 1x75 run. Reads were mapped to the human genome using Tophat and gene expression counts were generated using HTSeq. This data was used to perform Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA).

Project description:For definitive endoderm differentiation, iPS cells (day0) were treated with 100 ng ml-1 activin A and 3μM CHIR99021 for 1 day and 100 ng ml-1 activin A for the following two days. Definitive endoderm was subsequently treated with 3uM CHIR99021 and 500ng ml-1 FGF4 for mid/hindgut differentiation. Mid/hindgut floating spheroids (fl; t-Spheroids) were collected from culture medium from day6 to day 8. On day6, mid/hindgut cells were dissociated into single cells and seeded onto EZSPHERE plate to generate suspension spheroids(EZ; s-Spheroids). RNA of fl spheroids and EZ spheroids were extracted using QIAGEN RNeasy kit.

Project description:Hepatocytes were isolated from C57BL6/J mice and cryopreserved. Spheroids were generated from cryopreserved hepatocytes by spontaneous self-aggregation in ultra-low attachment 96-well plates. Microarray profiling of the entire transcriptome was performed on spheroids cultured for 1, 7, and 14 days post spheroid formation from N=2 spheriod preparations from each sex. Only 287 of 13,081 total mRNAs detected (2.2%) were differentially expressed in spheroids over time.
