Project description:Previously we found that human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) utilize glucose differently depending on the presence of the feeder cells, which are mouse embryonic fibroblasts, or MEFs. More specifically, feeder-free cultured hPSCs are more reliant on glycolysis for proliferation. Therefore, we hypothesized that secreted factors by MEFs might be responsible for reprogramming the metabolism of hPSCs. To test this hypothesis, we separated the components in the MEF-conditioned medium by using size-based fractionation columns, and tested whether each fraction alters the reliance of feeder-free hPSCs on glucose. We concluded that it was the protein fraction of the MEF-conditioned medium potentially responsible for reprogramming glycolytic metabolism in hPSCs. To further understand which specific protein(s) could alter the metabolism of hPSCs, we here conduct mass spectrometry based proteomics experiment.

Project description:Graphene has been selected as a candidate for synthetic feeder-free culture substrate guiding human/mouse multipotent stem cell lineage specification, and culturing pluripotent stem cells in a number of studies. However, conventional graphene is not an ideal biomaterial to maintain the pluripotency of human pluripotent stem cells (hPSC) including hESCs/hiPSCs due to its intrinsic hydrophobicity and relatively flat surface topography. Here, we applied morphology-controlled nanocrystalline graphene (NG) coating onto the culture substrates via diffusion-associated synthesis (DAS) process and cultivated hPSCs. It is found that enhanced hydrophilicity and controlled surface roughness of DAS-NG enabled tight focal adhesion of hPSCs onto the DAS-NG coated culture substrate and retained pluripotency for over 2 weeks. It is also found hPSCs grown on DAS-NG shared comparable global gene expression profile with hPSCs grown on mouse embryonic fibroblast (MEF). Importantly, the similarities in cell adhesion gene expression between hPSCs grown on DAS-NG and hPSCs on MEF suggest DAS-NG may provide comparable physical cues with MEF for sustaining pluripotency. Taken together, our findings show a new reliable method for culturing hPSCs in feeder-free condition using DAS-graphene. Human iPSCs and human ESC H9 were seeded onto DAS-NG coated glass, ITO or QU, CVD-grown graphene coated glass, uncoated glass and mitomycin-C treated CF1. Human pluripotent stem cells seeded on each culture substrate were cultured in human embryonic stem cell medium composed of knockout DMEM (GIBCO-10829) supplemented with 20% knockout serum replacement (GIBCO-10828), 1mM L-glutamine, 1% penicillin/streptomycin (PAA-P11-010), 1% MEM-non essential amino acid (PAA-M11-003), 0.1mM beta-mercaptoethanol, and 5ng/ml human basic fibroblast growth factor.

Project description:Naïve mouse ESCs exhibit full term developmental competence thus hold great potential in regenerative medicine. Maintaining genome stability is essential for potential application of ESCs in stem cell therapy. While ESC potency fluctuate with retrovirus activity, it is unclear whether long-term cultures affect retrotransposition and genomic stability. We compared retrotransposons in naïve ESCs using various approaches. We show that feeder-serum based culture conditions and small molecule LCDM maintain appropriate expression of retrovirus activity following long-term cultures, whereas cultures under 2iLif and a2i result in aberrant upregulation of retrotransposons. This leads to high frequent retrotransposition. Moreover, naïve ESCs on feeder-serum based culture conditions and small molecule LCDM still generate complete ESC pups by TEC assay, functional test of pluripotency, following long-term cultures, despite that all culture conditions maintain high expression levels of pluripotent genes such as Oct4, Nanog, Klf4 and Sox2. Meanwhile, long telomeres are maintained in ESCs under cultures in Feeder-serum and LCDM conditions but telomeres shortened in other conditions with increasing passages. These data provide insights into retrotransposition, genomic stability and pluripotency of naïve ESCs.

Project description:The self-renewal and differentiation capacities of human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) make them good sources of cells for cell transplantation therapy, drug development, and studies of cellular differentiation and development. However, the large numbers of cells necessary for many of these applications require extensive expansion of hPSC cultures, a process that has been associated with genetic and epigenetic alterations. We have performed a combinatorial study on both hESCs and hiPSCs to compare the effects of enzymatic vs. mechanical passaging, and feeder-free vs. mouse embryonic fibroblast feeder substrate, to on the genetic and epigenetic stability and the phenotypic characteristics of hPSCs. In extensive experiments in hEScs involving over 100 continuous passages, , we observed that both enzymatic passaging and feeder-free culture were associated with genetic instability, higher cell proliferation, and persistence of OCT4-positive cells in teratomas, with enzymatic passaging having the stronger effect. In all combinations of culture conditions except for mechanical passaging on feeder layers, we noted recurrent deletions in the genomic region containing the tumor suppressor gene TP53, which was associated with decreased mRNA expression of TP53, as well as alterations in the expression of several downstream genes consistent with a decrease in the activity of the TP53 pathway. Among the hESC cultures, we also observedculture-dependent variations in global gene expression and DNA methylation. Verification of the negative effects of enzymatic passaging and feeder-free conditions was performed in hiPSC cultures. Our results highlight the need for careful assessment of effects of culture conditions on cells intended for clinical therapies. Three independent hiPSC clones reprogrammed from human fetal dermal fibroblasts: HDF51iPS1, HDF51iPS7, and HDF51iPS11.

Project description:Various culture systems have been used to derive and maintain human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs), but they are inefficient in sustaining cloning and suspension expansion of hPSCs. Through systematically modulating Wnt and Activin/Nodal signaling, we developed a defined medium (termed AIC), which enables efficient cloning and long-term expansion of hPSCs (AIC-hPSCs) through single-cell passage on feeders, matrix or in suspension (25-fold expansion in 4 days) and maintains genomic stability of hPSCs over extensive expansion. Moreover, the AIC medium supports efficient derivation of hPSCs from blastocysts or somatic cells under feeder-free conditions. Compared to conventional-culture hPSCs, AIC-hPSCs have similar gene expression profiles but down-regulated differentiation genes and display higher metabolic activity. The AIC medium shows a good compatibility for suspension expansion of different hPSC lines. Our study provides a robust culture system for derivation, cloning and suspension expansion of high-quality hPSCs that benefits GMP production and processing of therapeutic hPSC products

Project description:Human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) are of fundamental relevance in regenerative medicine and the primary source for many novel cellular therapies. The development of naïve culture conditions has led to the expectation that these naïve hPSCs could overcome some of the limitations found in conventional (primed) hPSCs culture conditions, including recurrent epigenetic anomalies. Recent work has shown that transition to the primed state (or capacitation) is necessary for naïve hPSCs to acquire multi-lineage differentiation competence. This pluripotent state transition may recapitulate essential features of human peri-implantation development. Here we studied epigenetic changes during the transition between naïve and primed pluripotency, examining global genomic redistribution of histone modifications, chromatin accessibility, and DNA methylation, and correlating these with gene expression. We identify CpG islands, enhancers, and retrotransposons as hotspots of epigenetic dynamics between pluripotency states. Our results further reveal that hPSC resetting and subsequent capacitation rescue X chromosome-linked epigenetic erosion and reduce the ectoderm-biased gene expression of conventional primed hPSCs.
