Effects of early geometric confinement on the transcriptomic profile of human cerebral organoids

ABSTRACT: Here, we used agarose microwells to control embryos body (EB) shapes and generated whole brain human cerebral organoids (hCO) from these EBs to investigate the effects of early spatial regulation on transcriptomic changes during brain region specification using bulk RNA sequencing. Our results showed that gross morphological and transcriptional changes related to hCO differentiation were similar between 96-well and microwell hCOs, indicating that the microwell growth environment did not significantly affect the overall neural differentiation or viability of the hCOs. However, investigating individual developmental time points and comparing across 96-well and microwell conditions more closely revealed notable differences in genes associated with pluripotency, mesoderm, MGE, retina and cortical development, and epithelial and mesenchymal fates, implying that the microwell growth environment may bias lineage commitment in neurodevelopment. Furthermore, we found that the direction and intensity of this transcriptional bias was associated with the starting EB shapes. The butterfly shape showed the most noticeable differences, followed closely by the peanut shape. Among other notable differences, round microwells exhibited a potential delay in the kinetics of neurodevelopment, and our results also demonstrated that non-spherical shapes may favor the development of MGE-associated brain regions and cell types over cortical regions.

Confined 3D microenvironment regulates early differentiation in Human Pluripotent Stem Cells

Project description:We aimed to investigate how different three-dimensional microenvironments regulate the early differentiation of the three germ layers in human embryonic stem cells derived embryoid bodies. In particular, a permeable, biocompatible, hydrogel microwell array was specifically designed for recreating a confined niche in which EB secreted molecules accumulate in accordance with hydrogel diffusional cut-off. Fluorescence recovery after photobleaching technique was performed to accurately evaluate hydrogel permeability, mesh size and diffusional cutoff for soluble molecules. EBs culture in microwells promotes the expression of genes involved in pattern specification processes, brain development, ectoderm and endoderm differentiation. On the contrary, suspension EBs express instead genes involved in mesoderm specification and heart development. These results suggest that local accumulation of EBs secreted molecules drives differentiation patterns, as confirmed by immunofluorescence of germ layer markers, in hydrogel confined EB culture. Three different culture conditions of EB culture were analyzed: suspension (standard condition), confinement in microwells of width/depth ratio 1:1 and 1:2. EBs cultured in microwells are viable and have comparable average size after 8 days culture. Whole genome microarrays show that significative differential gene expression was observed between suspension and confined EBs culture.

Improving Human Cardiac Organoid Design Using Transcriptomics

Project description:Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death worldwide. To this end, human cardiac organoids (hCOs) have been developed for improved organotypic CVD modeling over conventional in vivo animal models. Utilizing human cells, hCOs hold great promise to bridge key gaps in CVD research pertaining to human-specific conditions. hCOs are multicellular 3D models which resemble heart structure and function. Varying hCOs fabrication techniques leads to functional and phenotypic differences. To investigate heterogeneity across hCO platforms, we performed a transcriptomic analysis utilizing bulk RNA-sequencing from four previously published unique hCO studies. We further compared selected hCOs to 2D and 3D hiPSC-derived cardiomyocytes (hiPSC-CMs), as well as fetal and adult human myocardium bulk RNA-sequencing samples. Upon investigation utilizing Principal Component Analysis (PCA), K-means clustering analysis of key genes, and further downstream analyses such as Gene Set Enrichment (GSEA), Gene Set Variation (GSVA), and GO term enrichment, we found that hCO fabrication method influences maturity and cellular heterogeneity across models. Thus, we propose that adjustment of fabrication method will result in an hCO with a defined maturity and transcriptomic profile to facilitate its specified applications, in turn maximizing its modeling potential.

Development of functional resident macrophages in human pluripotent stem cell-derived colonic organoids and human fetal colon [scrna-seq]

Project description:Most organs have tissue resident immune cells that function during tissue development, homeostasis and disease. Human organoids, derived either from adult tissues or from pluripotent stem cells (PSCs), have been lacking these immune cells, which limits their utility to model many normal and disease processes. Here we describe that human PSC-derived colonic organoids (HCOs) co-develop a diverse population of immune cells. Comparisons to the developing human hematopoietic cells, demonstrate that HCO cultures developed hemogenic endothelium and erythromyeloid progenitors that undergo stereotypical steps in differentiation, resulting in the generation of macrophages. HCO macrophages acquired a transcriptional signature most similar to human fetal small and large intestine tissue-resident macrophages. Functional analyses demonstrate that HCO-macrophages modulate cytokine secretion in response to pro- and anti-inflammatory signals. In addition, macrophages were able to phagocytose and mount a robust response to pathogenic bacteria. In HCOs that were transplanted into mice, macrophages expanded within the colonic organoid tissue, established a close association with the colonic epithelium and were not displaced by the host bone marrow-derived macrophages. These studies support the conclusion that hemogenic endothelium in HCOs gives rise to multipotent hematopoietic progenitors and functional tissue-resident macrophages.

Circulating Tumor Cell(CTC) Isolation and Genonic varation Detection from Liquid Samples of Lung Cancer

Project description:We developed an enrichment-free, metabolic-based assay for rapid detection of tumor cells in the pleural effusion and peripheral blood samples. All nucleated cells are plated on microwell chips that contain 200,000 addressable microwells and then screened the chips. After candidate tumor cells were identified, retrieved single tumor cells with micromanipultor. To detection and analysis molecular characterization of these circulating tumor cells, we performed single cell whole genome amplification with multiple displacement amplification (MDA) technology and whole exome sequencing.

Comparison of gene expression signature between nascent Lhx6-GFP+ cells from mouse embryonic brain and differentiated Lhx6-GFP+ cells from ES cells (as well as comparing those of Lhx6-GFP+ and Lhx6-GFP- cells from ES cells)

Project description:There was a remarkable similarity in the molecular properties of the MGE-GFP+ and ES-GFP+ cells. In particular, genes that are important for medial ganglionic eminence (MGE) and cortical interneurons development are both high in expression in both MGE-Lhx6-GFP+ and ES-Lhx6-GFP+ cells (compared to ES-Lhx6-GFP- cells). To investigate how closely ES cells-derived Lhx6-GFP+ cells resembled authentic Lhx6+ MGE cells, and to define the molecular properties of the Lhx6-GFP+ and Lhx6-GFP- cells from differentiated ES cells, we compared their gene expression profiles. We used FACS to purify GFP+ cells from the E12.5 MGE of Lhx6-GFP transgenic mice. ES-Lhx6-GFP+ cells and ES-Lhx6-GFP- cells (both from D12 EB aggregates) were also isolated by fluorescent activated cell sorting (FACS) and all of the RNA samples were subjected to RNA expression microarray analyses.

Patient-derived iPSC-cerebral organoid modeling of the 17q11.2 microdeletion syndrome establishes CRLF3 as a critical regulator of neurogenesis

Project description:Neurodevelopmental disorders are often caused by chromosomal microdeletions encompassing numerous contiguous genes. One such microdeletion on chromosome 17q11.2, involving the NF1 gene and flanking regions ( NF1 total gene deletion; NF1 -TGD), occurs in a subset of Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) patients with severe developmental delays and intellectual disability. Using patient-derived human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC)-cerebral organoids (hCOs), we identified both neural stem cell (NSC) proliferation and neuronal maturation abnormalities in NF1 -TGD hCOs. While increased NSC proliferation resulted from decreased NF1 /RAS regulation, the neuronal defects (delayed neuronal differentiation, increased immature neuron apoptosis, and impaired dendrite maturation) were caused by reduced cytokine receptor-like factor 3 ( CRLF3 ) expression. Furthermore, we demonstrated a higher autistic trait burden in NF1 patients harboring a deleterious germline mutation in the CRLF3 gene (c.1166T>C, p.Leu389Pro). Collectively, these findings identify a new causative gene within the NF1 -TGD locus responsible for hCO neuronal abnormalities and autism in children with NF1.

Development of human brain organoids with functional vascular-like system

Project description:Human cortical organoids (hCOs), derived from human embryonic stem cells (hESCs), provide an excellent platform to study human brain development and diseases in complex 3D tissue. However, current hCOs lack microvasculature, resulting in limited oxygen and nutrient delivery to inner-most parts of hCOs. Previous studies demonstrated that the expression of human ETS variant 2 (hETV2) directly converts human fibroblasts to functional endothelial cells. Here, we engineered hESCs to ectopically express hETV2 to create in vitro vasculature in hCOs, namely vhCOs (vascularized hCOs). hETV2-expressing cells in hCOs contributed to forming a complex vascular network in hCOs. Importantly, the presence of vascularization resulted in enhanced functional maturation of organoids. We found that vhCOs acquired several blood-brain barrier (BBB) characteristics including increased expression of tight junctions, nutrient transporters, and trans-endothelial electrical resistance. Finally, hETV2-induced endothelium supported the formation of perfused blood vessels in vivo. These vhCOs form vasculature that resemble early prenatal brain, and present a robust model to study brain disease in vitro.

Multicellular human cardiac organoids transcriptomically model distinct tissue-level features of adult myocardium

Project description:Human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (hiPSC-CMs) have been widely used for disease modeling and drug cardiotoxicity screening. To this end, we recently developed human cardiac organoids (hCOs) for modeling human myocardium. Here, we perform a transcriptomic analysis of various in vitro hiPSC-CM platforms (2D iPSC-CM, 3D iPSC-CM and hCOs) to deduce strengths and limitations of these in vitro models. We further compared iPSC-CM models to human myocardium samples. Our data shows that the 3D in vitro environment of 3D hiPSC-CMs and hCOs stimulates expression of genes associated with tissue formation. hCOs demonstrated diverse physiologically relevant cellular functions compared to hiPSC-CM only models. Including other cardiac cell types within hCOs led to more transcriptomic similarly to adult myocardium. hCOs lack matured cardiomyocytes and immune cells which limits a complete replication of human adult myocardium. In conclusion, 3D hCOs are transcriptomically similar to myocardium, and future developments of engineered 3D cardiac models would benefit from diversifying cell populations, especially immune cells.
