ABSTRACT: We investigated the transcriptome of human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) differentiated into hepatocyte-like cells (HLCs) in a biochip culture environment with or without carboxypeptidase M positive (CPM+) cells selection using nanoCAGE, a method for promoters, transcription factors, and transcriptome analysis.
Project description:We investigated the transcriptome of human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) differentiated into hepatocyte-like cells (HLCs) in a biochip culture environment vs. standard Petri dishes cultures using nanoCAGE, a method for promoters, transcription factors, and transcriptome analysis.
Project description:We investigated the human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) during a sequential in vitro step-by-step differentiation into hepatocyte-like cells (HLCs) using nanoCAGE, a method for promoters, transcription factors, and transcriptome analysis.
Project description:Specific surface marker for NKX2-1+ VAFECs may be helpful for isolating a homogeneous population of alveolar epithelial progenitor cells and distinguishing the differentiation from a thyroid lineage to a lung lineage. In order to identify specific markers of VAFECs, a microarray analysis was performed to compare the global gene expression patterns between AFECs and VAFECs in 201B7 hiPSCs. We hypothesized that NKX2-1+ cells could be purified by sorting CPM+ VAFECs. After dissociating VAFECs cells on day 14 with Accutase, FACS was performed using anti-EPCAM and anti-CPM antibodies. EPCAM+CPM+ and EPCAM+CPM- cells were then sorted, and the global gene expression patterns of these two populations were examined using a microarray analysis. In addition, MACS was performed to obtain CPM+ cells for comparison. We extracted total RNA from hiPSCs-derived AFECs, VAFECs, EPCAM+CPM+ and EPCAM+CPM- VAFECs and CPM+ VAFECs and hybridized them to Affymetrix microarrays.

Project description:The purpose of this experiment was to compared the transcriptome of hepatocyte-like cells (HLCs) generated in vitro and adult primary human hepatocytes (PHHs). HLCs were differentiated from either hESCs or hIPSCs using previously established protocols (Hannah et al 2013; Segeritz et al 2018). Undifferentiated hIPSCs were used as control to confirm differentiation status. PHHs were commercially sourced as well as freshly isolated from donors.
Project description:We stepwisely induced SFTPC+ cells from hiPSCs via CPM-high progenitor cells with or without coculturing human fetal lung fibroblasts. Single-cell RNA-seq of CPM-high progenitor and hiPSC-derived SFTPC+ cells demonstrated their differentiation process and cellular heterogeneity.
Project description:ChIP-sequencing was performed to explore the difference between the epigenetic profiles of hepatocyte-like cells (HLCs) generated in vitro and primary human hepatocytes (PHHs). HLCs were differentiated from hIPSCs and hESCs for 30 days, as previously reported (Hannan et al, 2013). PHHs were purchased from Biopredic. Chromatin was immunoprecipitated with antibodies against H3K27ac, H3K4me1, H3K27me3 and H3K4me3. Library preparation and sequencing were performed by the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute DNA Sequencing Facility (Hinxton, UK). Sequencing was performed on an Illumina HiSeq v4 instrument to obtain paired-end reads with 75bp length.
Project description:Two independent protocols for deriving HLCs from hESCs and iPSCs were adopted and further characterization included immunocytochemistry, real-time RT-PCR, and in vitro functional assays. Comparative microarray-based gene expression profiling was conducted on these cells and compared to the transcriptomes of human fetal liver and adult liver progenitors. HLCs derived from hESCs and hiPSCs showed significant functional similarities, similar expression of genes important for liver physiology and common pathways. However, specific differences between the two cell types could be observed. Total RNA obtained from undifferentiated hESCs, iPSCs, HLCs (hepatocyte-like cells)-derived from hESCs and iPSCs, fetal forskin fibroblasts and fetal liver.
