Project description:Self-organisation and coordinated morphogenesis of multiple cardiac lineages is essential for the development and function of the heart1-3. However, the absence of a human in vitro model that mimics the basic lineage architecture of the heart hinders research into developmental mechanisms and congenital defects4. Here, we describe the establishment of a reliable, lineage-controlled and high-throughput cardiac organoid platform. We show that cardiac mesoderm derived from human pluripotent stem cells robustly self-organises and differentiates into cardiomyocytes forming a cavity. Co-differentiation of cardiomyocytes and endothelial cells from cardiac mesoderm within these structures is required to form a separate endothelial layer. As in vivo, the epicardium engulfs these cardiac organoids, migrates into the cardiomyocyte layer and differentiates. We use this model to demonstrate that cardiac cavity formation is controlled by a mesodermal WNT-BMP signalling axis. Disruption of one of the key BMP targets in cardiac mesoderm, the transcription factor HAND1, interferes with cavity formation, which is consistent with its role in early heart tube and left chamber development5. Thus, the cardiac organoid platform represents a powerful resource for the quantitative and mechanistic analysis of early human cardiogenesis and defects that are otherwise inaccessible. Beyond understanding congenital heart disease, cardiac organoids provide a foundation for future translational research into human cardiac disorders.

Project description:SARS-CoV2 infection leads to cardiac injury and dysfunction in 20-30% of hospitalized patients and higher rates of mortality in patients with pre-existing cardiovascular disease. Inflammatory factors released as part of the 'cytokine storm' are thought to play a critical role in cardiac dysfunction in severe COVID-19 patients. Here we use human cardiac organoid technology combined with high sensitivity phosphoproteomics and single nuclei RNA sequencing to identify inflammatory targets inducing cardiac dysfunction. This new pipeline allowed rapid progress and identification of putative therapeutics. We identify a novel interferon-gamma driven BRD4 (bromodomain protein 4)-fibrosis/iNOS axis as a key intracellular mediator of inflammation-induced cardiac dysfunction. This axis is therapeutically targetable using BRD4 inhibitors, which promoted full recovery of function in human cardiac organoids and prevented severe inflammation and death in a cytokine-storm mouse model. The BRD inhibitor INCB054329 was the most efficacious, and is a prime candidate for drug repurposing to attenuate cardiac dysfunction and improve COVID-19 mortality in humans.

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:This study used scRNA-seq to characterise the transcriptome in 26 day-old iPSC-derived kidney organoids, treated with TGFB1, the EzH2 inhibitor GSK343, a combination of both or a vehicle control for 48 hours (days 24-26) before harvesting. 2 organoids per condition were pooled and dissociated using a cold-active protease. Nuclei were extracted and profiled using the 10X Genomics Single-cell 3' V3 kits. Libraries were sequenced using paired-end reads on an Illumina NextSeq 500. Initial processing was performed using CellRanger v3.1.0 (10X Genomics).

Project description:Knowledge on tooth epithelial stem cells and corresponding biology in humans is sparse. Here, we developed an organoid model, typically replicating epithelial tissue stem cell biology, starting from human tooth. Dental follicle (DF), isolated from extracted wisdom teeth, efficiently generated long-term expandable epithelial organoids. The organoids displayed a tooth stemness phenotype as present in DF’s Epithelial Cell Rests of Malassez, a compartment deemed to contain tooth epithelial stem cells. To further decode the organoids in more granular detail, we applied scRNA-seq analysis on DF-derived organoids (passage 1 (P1) and P4) together with their primary tissue. Additionally, to decipher the amelogenesis-resembling process that takes place in the tooth organoids upon differentiation, we performed scRNA-seq analysis of P4 organoids switched to mineralization-inducing medium for 8 days.

Project description:The mammalian heart undergoes maturation during postnatal life to meet the increased functional requirements of the adult. However, the key drivers of this process remain poorly defined. We developed as 96-well screening platform, using human pluripotent stem cell derived cardiac organoids, to determine the molecular requirements for in vitro cardiomyocyte maturation. Here, we describe gene expression changes resulting from culturing human cardiac organoids in standard cell culture conditions and under optimized maturation conditions. We assessed our maturation conditions by comparing transcriptional changes of human cardiac organoids to RNA isolated from human heart. Interesting, analysis of these data revealed that a switch to fatty acid oxidative metabolism is a key governor of cardiomyocyte maturation and mature cardiac organoids were refractory to mitogenic stimuli.
