Electrophysiological Maturation of Cerebral Organoids Correlates with Dynamic Morphological and Cellular Development

ABSTRACT: Cerebral organoids (COs) are rapidly accelerating the rate of translational neuroscience based on their potential to model complex features of the developing human brain. Several studies have examined the electrophysiological and neural network features of COs; however, no study has comprehensively investigated the developmental trajectory of electrophysiological properties in whole-brain COs and correlated these properties with developmentally-linked morphological and cellular features. Here, we profiled the neuroelectrical activities of COs over the span of five months with a multi-electrode array (MEA) platform and observed the emergence and maturation of several electrophysiologic properties, including rapid firing rates and network bursting events. To complement these analyses, we characterized the complex molecular and cellular development that give rise to these mature neuroelectrical properties with immunohistochemical and single-cell transcriptomic analyses. This integrated approach underscores the value of COs as an emerging model system of human brain development and neurological disease.

Integrated electrophysiological and genomic profiles of single cells reveal spiking tumor cells in human glioma [Patch-Seq]

Project description:Prior studies have described the complex interplay that exists between glioma cells and neurons, however, the electrophysiological properties endogenous to tumor cells remain obscure. To address this, we employed Patch-sequencing on human glioma specimens and found that one third of patched cells in IDH mutant (IDHmut) tumors demonstrate properties of both neurons and glia by firing single, short action potentials. To define these hybrid cells (HCs) and discern if they are tumor in origin, we developed a computational tool, Single Cell Rule Association Mining (SCRAM), to annotate each cell individually. SCRAM revealed that HCs represent tumor and non-tumor cells that have select features of GABAergic neurons and oligodendrocyte precursor cells. These studies are the first to characterize the combined electrophysiological and molecular properties of human glioma cells and describe a new cell type in human glioma with unique electrophysiological and transcriptomic properties that may also exist in the non-tumor brain.

Morphological, electrophysiological and transcriptomic profiling of single neurons using Patch-seq

Project description:The mammalian neocortex is a layered sheet of neural tissue that mediates complex cognitive processes including perception and cognition. Despite its importance, we still lack detailed knowledge of the cellular components of the neocortex. Integrating morphological, electrophysiological and molecular classification schemes into a common framework for defining cell types is challenging due to the limited scope of most single-cell analyses. Here, we developed a protocol for high-throughput electrophysiological and transcriptomic analysis of single neurons that combines whole-cell recordings and single-cell RNA-sequencing, which we call Patch-seq. Using this approach, we fully characterized the electrophysiological and molecular profiles of ~50 neocortical neurons, and show that gene expression patterns can be used to infer the morphological and physiological properties of individual neurons and their corresponding cell type. Our results shed light on the molecular underpinnings of neuronal diversity and demonstrate a path forward for comprehensive cell type characterization in the nervous system.

Coupled electrophysiological recording and single-cell transcriptome analyses revealed molecular mechanisms underlying neuronal maturation

Project description:The mammalian brain is heterogeneous, containing billions of neurons and trillions of synapses forming various neural circuitries, through which sense, movement, thought, and emotion are generated. The cellular heterogeneity of the brain has made it difficult to study the molecular logic of neural circuitry wiring, pruning, activation, and plasticity, until recently, transcriptome analyses with single-cell resolution makes decoding of gene regulatory networks underlying aforementioned circuitry properties possible. Here, we report success in performing both electrophysiological and whole-genome transcriptome analyses on single human neurons in culture. Using Weighted Gene Coexpression Network Analyses (WGCNA), we identified gene clusters highly correlated with neuronal maturation judged by electrophysiological characteristics. A tight link between neuronal maturation and genes involved in ubiquitination and mitochondrial function was revealed. Moreover, we identified a list of candidate genes, which could potentially serve as biomarkers for neuronal maturation. Coupled electrophysiological recording and single-cell transcriptome analysis will serve as powerful tools in the future to unveil molecular logics for neural circuitry functions.

Development of a platform to investigate long term potentiation in human iPSC-derived neuronal networks

Project description:Although impairment of long-term potentiation (LTP) is a common feature of many neurological disorders, studies in humans are limited by inaccessibility of the brain. Human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSC) provide a unique opportunity to study LTP, especially in disease specific genetic backgrounds. We describe a multi-electrode array (MEA)-based assay to investigate chemically induced LTP (cLTP) in networks of hiPSC-derived midbrain dopaminergic (DA) and cortical neuronal populations. We demonstrate potentiation of activity that lasts for days, allowing for studies of the late phases of LTP. We show that cLTP on midbrain DA neuronal networks is largely independent of the N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR), and demonstrate partial dependence on brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), as well as other factors released into the medium. Finally, we describe activity-regulated gene expression induced by cLTP. In summary, this cLTP-MEA assay platform will enable phenotype discovery and higher throughput analyses of synaptic plasticity on hiPSC-derived neurons.

The effect of utrophin on the electrophysiological properties of DMD hiPSC-derived cardiomyocytes

Project description:DMD is a genetic disease, which leads to muscle weakness and cardiomyopathy. The latter remains incurable, being the main cause of death in DMD, therefore new therapeutic strategies are being sought to provide effective treatment. One of them considers upregulation of utrophin, a protein structurally and functionally homologous to dystrophin. In this study proteomic analysis of dystrophin-deficient and both dystrophin- and utrophin-deficient hiPSC-CM indicated on considerable differences in terms of contraction-related mechanisms. We thus investigated the role of utrophin in the maintenance of electrophysiological properties of DMD hiPSC-CM using the cells with additional utrophin deficiency and with utrophin upregulation. Obtained results indicated on disturbance of calcium handling in DMD hiPSC-CM, even more pronounced in DMD/UTRN KO hiPSC-CM and increased values of AHP in DMD hiPSC-CM. Utrophin upregulation improved both calcium oscillations and AHP values. Our findings highlight utrophin as important in the maintenance of the electrophysiological properties of DMD hiPSC-CM.

Genome-wide CRISPR library screening to identify genes involved in the regulation of the kinetic properties of transcriptional bursting

Project description:Cell-to-cell heterogeneity in gene expression can even be observed in the same type of cells, present in a similar environment. Transcriptional bursting is thought to be one of contributing factors to the heterogeneity, but it remains elusive how the kinetic properties of transcriptional bursting (e.g. burst size, burst frequency, and noise induced by transcriptional bursting) are regulated in mammalian cells. To unbiasedly identify genes regulating the kinetic properties of transcriptional bursting, we performed large-scale CRISPR/-Cas9 based screening and functional analysis, and found that Akt/MAPK signaling pathways are involved in the regulation of the kinetic properties of transcriptional bursting.

Regulation of stochastic gene bursting by chromatin-independent acetylation

Project description:Stochastic transcriptional bursting is now recognized as a universal property of gene expression. While different genes exhibit distinct bursting patterns, the molecular basis for differences in bursting are largely unknown. We have developed and applied a high-throughput-imaging based screening strategy to identify cellular factors and mechanisms that determine the bursting behavior of human genes. Focusing on epigenetic regulators, we find that global acetylation is the strongest acute modulator of burst frequency, size and heterogeneity of bursting. Acetylation similarly affected the Off-time but On-time changes were gene-specific. These effects were not strongly linked to promoter acetylation, which did not correlate with bursting properties and forced promoter acetylation altered bursting for only some genes. Instead, we identified acetylation of the Integrator complex as a key determinant of gene bursting with elevated Integrator acetylation leading to faster bursting. Taken together our results suggest a dominant role of non-histone proteins in determining gene bursting properties and they identify non-epigenetic acetylation of a transcription cofactor as an allosteric modulator of bursting via a pause-release related bursting checkpoint

smalRNA seq of IPSC-cardiomyocytes treated with exosomes before hypoxic stiumli

Project description:This experiment aimed to investigate whether exosomess released by IPSC-cardiomyocytes during hypoxia can positively influence cardiac electrophysiology and miRNA expression during hypoxic stress. A multielectrode array (MEA) system was used as an in vitro method of recording real-time cardiac electrophysiological activity, highlighting the biological effects facilitated by exosomes. Additionally, miRNA-sequencing was performed to compare miRNA expressions in exosome-preconditioned and non-preconditioned IPSC-cardiomyocytes, elucidating important modulators of cardiac electrophysiology.
