Project description:Human iPSC-derived cardiomyocytes (hiPSC-CMs) have proven invaluable for cardiac disease modeling and cardiac regeneration. Challenges with quality, inter-batch consistency, cryopreservation and scale remain, reducing experimental reproducibility and clinical translation. Here, we report a robust stirred suspension cardiac differentiation protocol with careful functional characterization of the resulting hiPSC-CMs. In a bioreactor, the protocol produced 1.2E6/mL hiPSC-CMs with ～94% purity from 14 iPSC lines. Bioreactor-differentiated CMs (bCMs) showed high viability after cryo-recovery (>90%) and predominantly ventricular identity. Compared to standard monolayer-differentiated CMs (mCMs), bCMs had greater reproducibility and more mature functional properties, including pacing capture to 4 Hz and greater force production in 3D engineered heart tissues. In more readily available magnetically stirred spinner flasks, the protocol yielded 1.8E6/mL spinner-differentiated CMs (sCMs) with 94% purity. Differentiation scaled readily in spinner flasks, as a 3.8-fold increase in cultured volume yielded 3.4E6/ml sCMs. sCMs had intermediate functional properties between mCMs and bCMs. Minor protocol modifications generated the first bioreactor-derived cardiac organoids (bCOs) fully generated in suspension. These reproducible, scalable, and resource efficient approaches to generate cardiac cells and organoids with well-characterized properties will expand the applications of hiPSC-CMs.

Project description:Primary tissue-derived epithelial organoids are a physiologically relevant in vitro intestinal model that have been implemented for both basic research and drug development applications. The existing method of culturing intestinal organoids in surface-attached native extracellular matrix (ECM) hydrogel domes is not readily amenable to large-scale culture and contributes to culture heterogeneity. We have developed a method of culturing intestinal organoids within suspended basement membrane extract (BME) hydrogels of various geometries, which streamlines the protocol, increases the scalability, enables kinetic sampling, and improves culture uniformity without specialized equipment or additional expertise. We demonstrate the compatibility of this method with multiple culture formats, and provide examples of suspended BME hydrogel organoids in downstream applications: implementation in a medium-throughput drug screen and generation of Transwell monolayers for barrier evaluation. The suspended BME hydrogel culture method will allow intestinal organoids, and potentially other organoid types, to be used more widely and at higher throughputs than previously possible.

Project description:Organoids are engineered 3D miniature tissues that are defined by their organ-like structures, which drive novel fundamental understanding of human development and can revolutionize our healthcare system. However, current organoid generation methods associate with low production throughputs and poor control over size and function due to merging, which limits their clinical and industrial translation. Here, we present an innovative microfluidic platform for mass production of functional organoids. Specifically, triple-jet In Air microfluidics (IAMF) enables ultra-high throughput generation of hollow, thin-shelled, hydrogel microcapsules that can act as organoid forming bioreactors in a cytocompatible, oil-free, and size-controlled manner. IAMF microencapsulation of human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) allowed for long-term stable 3D suspension culturing and self-organizing hPSC spheroids with maintained pluripotency. Uniquely, IAMF microcapsules provided a lumenogenic microenvironment with near 100% efficient cavitation of hPSC spheroids resembling embryoid body’s rosette-stage; autonomous self-organization with polarized cytoarchitecture was achieved without added growth factors. Upon chemical stimulation, hPSC-derived spheroids underwent cardiomyogenic differentiation effectively resulting in mass production of a homogeneous and functional (i.e., contracting) cardiospheres that were responsive to external electrical stimulation. In short, we report on an innovative method that enables efficient production of high-quality organized spheroids, embryoid bodies, and organoids in a cytocompatible, ultra-high-throughput, and clean manner, thereby driving clinical and industrial adaption of stem cell technology in application areas such as tissue engineering, drug testing, and cultured meat.

Project description:3D cell culture systems (organoids), cultured from extrahepatic bile duct biopsies, resemble biliary epthelium (cholangiocytes) upon culture according to the protocol previously established for culturing intrahepatic cholangiocyte organoids from liver biopsies (Huch et al. Cell 2015). These extrahepatic cholangiocyte organoids (ECOs) in Canonical-Wnt culture conditions maintain their genetic stability, and transcription profile and can be maintained and propagated during long periods of culturing while still maintaining their functional properties. The data presented in this ArrayExpress submission contained micro array results of 3 different ECO lines that were analyzed for their functional cholangiocyte ion-channels, involved in secreting a protective bicarbonate layer. It was shown that these data closely resemble the expression profile of intrahepatic cholangiocyte organoids (ICOs) as described by our group. Results of the ICOs are deposited in the EMBL-EBI ArrayExpress repository under number E-MTAB-9044.

Project description:In this work, we reported a strategy to produce 3D in vitro microtissues of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) for studying the desmoplastic reaction activated by the stroma-cancer crosstalk. The purpose of this dataset was to examine the transcriptional expression changes of normal fibroblasts (NF), cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAF) and pancreatic adenocarcinoma cell line (PT45) in 3D versus 2D culture and in mono-culture versus co-culture. Illumina Human BeadChips were used to profile the transcriptome after 12 days of culture. We reported that human PDAC microtissues, obtained by co-culturing PT45 with NF or CAF within biodegradable microcarriers in spinner flask bioreactor, closely recapitulate key PDAC microenvironment characteristics.

Project description:Tissue resident macrophages are key players in inflammatory processes and their activation and functionality is crucial in health and disease. Diseases associated with alterations in homeostasis or dysregulation of the innate immune system are numerous and include allergic reactions, autoimmune diseases as well as cancer. Hence, these cells are of high interest in drug development. Currently, the main sources of macrophages used in drug development are still primary cells isolated from blood or tissue, or immortalized cell lines (e.g. THP-1). Here, we describe an improved method for large-scale production of tissue resident macrophages from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) in unprecedented yields. For this, iPSC-derived macrophages are thoroughly characterized to confirm their cell identity and thus their suitability for screening purposes. We demonstrate that this method to generate macrophages from iPSC overcomes the limitations of using primary cells, i.e. donor variability and limited availability of large cell numbers. Notably, the cells recapitulate key functional characteristics, including cytokine release, phagocytosis and migration. Genetic modifications can be introduced at the macrophage progenitor stage, so this methodology will facilitate the generation of reporters and gain- and loss-of-function mutants in an isogenetic background, essential assets for target validation.

Project description:Human neural organoid models have become an important tool for studying neurobiology. In this work, we compared Matrigel to an N-cadherin peptide-functionalized gelatin methacryloyl hydrogel (termed GelMA-Cad) for culturing cortical neural organoids. Specifically, we compare five materials: (1) Matrigel, (2) GelMA-Cad with high crosslinker (HC), (3) GelMA-Cad with low crosslinker (LC), (4) GelMA HC and (5) GelMA LC. We profiled these organoids at the earliest stages to understand potential differences in radial glia formation.

These intrahepatic cholangiocyte organoids (ICOs) maintain their gentic stability, transcription profile and can be maintained propagated during long periods of culturing while still maintaining their functional properties. The data presented in this ArrayExpress submission contained micro array results of 6 from 15 different ICO lines that were analyzed for their functional cholangiocyte ion-channels, involved in secreting a protective bicarbonate layer. It was shown that these data closely resemble the expression profiles of extrahepatic cholangiocyte organoids (ECOs), previously described by Sampaziotis et al. and deposited in the EMBL-EBI ArrayExpress repository (E-MTAB-4591)
