Automated generation of hiPSC-derived hepatic progeny by cost-efficient compounds

ABSTRACT: Human pluripotent stem cell (hPSC)-derived hepatocyte-like cells (HLCs) hold great promise for liver disease modeling, drug discovery, drug toxicity screens, or even regenerative therapies. Yet, several hurdles still need to be overcome, including among others decrease in the cost of goods to generate HLCs and automation of the differentiation process. We here describe that use of an automated liquid handling system results in highly reproducible HLC differentiation from hPSCs. This enabled us to screen 92 chemicals to replace expensive growth factors at each step of the differentiation protocol to reduce the cost of goods of the differentiation protocol by approximately 79%. In addition, we also evaluated several recombinant extracellular matrices (ECM) to replace Matrigel. We demonstrated that differentiation of hPSCs on Laminin-521 using an optimized small molecule combination resulted in HLCs that were transcriptionally identical to HLCs generated using current growth factor combinations. In addition, the HLCs created using the optimized small molecule combination also secreted similar concentrations of albumin and urea, and relatively low concentrations of alfa-fetoprotein (AFP), displayed similar CYP3A4 functionality and a similar drug toxicity susceptibility as HLCs generated with growth factor cocktails. The broad applicability of the new differentiation protocol was demonstrated for four different hPSC lines. This allowed the creation of a scalable, xeno-free, and cost-efficient hPSC-derived HLC culture, suitable for high throughput disease modeling and drug screenings, or even for the creation of HLCs for regenerative therapies.

Transcriptomics during the differentiation of human pluripotent stem cells to hepatocyte-like cells

Project description:Human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) can differentiate into all cell types in the body that may replace current cell sources applied in regenerative medicine, cell therapy, drug discovery and development and general research. Human PSC-derived hepatocyte-like cells (HLCs) have the potential to replace primary hepatocytes and other cell models applied in liver disease treatment and drug discovery and development. These cells share many features with their in vivo counterparts however, the generation of fully functional hPSC-derive HLCs is still lacking, which prevent their application in the previously mentioned fields. This study followed the transcriptome dynamics during the differentiation of hPSC-derived HLCs at definitive endoderm, hepatoblast, early HLC and late HLC developmental stages and the controls hPSCs and human liver tissues which consists of at least 70% hepatocytes. The aim is to reveal expression deviations between hPSC-derived hepatocytes and their in vivo counterparts that may contribute to the modification of differentiation protocols to generate fully functional hepatocytes.

In vitro culture at 39° C during hepatic maturation of human ES cells facilitates hepatocyte-like cell functions

Project description:Hepatocyte-like cells derived from human pluripotent stem cells (hPSC-HLCs) offer an alternative to primary hepatocytes commonly used for drug screenings and toxicological tests. However, these cells do not have hepatic functions comparable to those of hepatocytes in vivo due to insufficient hepatic differentiation. Here we showed that the hepatic functions of hPSC-HLCs were facilitated by applying physiological liver temperatures during hepatic differentiation. We identified the optimal temperature by treating HLCs derived from H9 human embryonic stem cells (hESC-HLCs) at 39 °C; the 42 °C treatment caused significantly greater cell death than the 39 °C treatment. We confirmed the improvement of hepatic functions, such as albumin secretion, cytochrome P450 3A activity, and collagen production, without severe cell damage. In combination with existing hepatic differentiation protocols, the method proposed here may further improve hepatic functions for hPSCs and lead to the realization of drug discovery efforts and drug toxicological tests.

Heparin promotes cardiac differentiation of human pluripotent stem cells in chemically defined albumin-free medium enabling consistent manufacture of cardiomyocytes

Project description:Cardiomyocytes can be differentiated from human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) in defined conditions, but efficient and consistent cardiomyocyte differentiation often requires expensive reagents such as B27 supplement or recombinant albumin. Using a chemically defined albumin-free (E8 basal) medium, we identified heparin as a novel factor that significantly promotes cardiomyocyte differentiation efficiency, and developed an efficient method to differentiate hPSCs into cardiomyocytes. The treatment of heparin helped cardiomyocyte differentiation consistently reach at least 80% purity (up to 95%) from more than 10 different hPSC lines in chemically defined DMEM/F-12 based medium on either Matrigel or defined matrices like Vitronectin and Synthemax. One of heparinâs main functions was to act as a WNT modulator that helped promote robust and consistent cardiomyocyte production. Our study provides an efficient, reliable, and cost-effective method for cardiomyocyte derivation from hPSCs that can be used for potential large-scale drug screening, disease modeling, and future cellular therapies. 12 human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) at three different cardiac differentiation times (0 Days, 3 Days, 6 Days, 10 Days) under different culture conditions (+/- Heparin, +/- IWP2).

Hepatocyte-like cells

Project description:Hepatocyte-like cells (HLCs) are derived from human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) in vitro, but differentiation protocols commonly give rise to a heterogeneous mixture of cells. This variability confounds the evaluation of in vitro functional assays performed using HLCs. We demonstrate the purification of a sub-population of functional HLCs differentiated from multiple hPSC lines using the hepatocyte surface marker Asialoglycoprotein Receptor 1 (ASGR1). We analyzed the expression profile of ASGR1-positive cells by microarray, and tested their ability to perform mature hepatocyte functions (albumin and urea secretion, cytochrome activity). By these measures, ASGR1-positive HLCs are enriched for the gene expression profile and functional characteristics of primary hepatocytes compared to unsorted HLCs.

Transferrin improved the generation of cardiomyocyte from human pluripotent stem cells for myocardial infarction repair

Project description:Human pluripotent stem cell (hPSC)-derived cardiomyocytes (CMs) hold great promise for the repair of the injured heart, but optimal cell production in a fully chemically defined and cost-effective system is essential for the efficacy and safety of cell transplantation therapies. In this study, we provided a simple and efficient strategy for cardiac differentiation from hPSCs and performed functional evaluation in a rat model of myocardial infarction. Using a chemically defined medium including four components, recombinant human albumin, ascorbic acid, human transferrin, and RPMI 1640, we developed a manageable and cost-effective protocol for robust generation of CMs from hPSCs. Interestingly, the addition of transferrin helped hPSCs to transit from TeSR-E8 medium to the simple cardiac differentiation medium and successfully initiated mesoderm differentiation without significant cell death. The CM generation efficiency was up to 85% based on cTnT expression. We performed transcriptome profiling from differentiation day 0 to 35, and characterized interesting dynamic change of cardiac genes. CMs derived from transferrin supplemented simple medium have similar transcriptome and the maturation level compared to cardiomyocytes generated in B27 minus insulin medium as well as their in vivo counterparts. Importantly, after transplantation, hPSC derived CMs survived in the infarcted rat heart, significantly improved the physiological function and reduced fibrosis. Our study offers an easy-to-use and cost-effective method for cardiac differentiation and facilitates the translational application of hPSC-derived CMs for heart repair.

Gene expression profiles in PHH-iPSCs, PHH-HLCs, PHHs, and HepG2

Project description:Interindividual differences in hepatic metabolism, which are mainly due to genetic polymorphism in its gene, have a large influence on individual drug efficacy and adverse reaction. Hepatocyte-like cells (HLCs) differentiated from human induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells have the potential to predict interindividual differences in drug metabolism capacity and drug response. However, it remains uncertain whether human iPSC-derived HLCs can reproduce the interindividual difference in hepatic metabolism and drug response. We found that cytochrome P450 (CYP) metabolism capacity and drug responsiveness of the primary human hepatocytes (PHH)-iPSHLCs were highly correlated with those of PHHs, suggesting that the PHH-iPS-HLCs retained donor-specific CYP metabolism capacity and drug responsiveness. We also demonstrated that the interindividual differences, which are due to the diversity of individual SNPs in the CYP gene, could also be reproduced in PHH-iPS-HLCs. We succeeded in establishing, to our knowledge, the first PHH-iPS-HLC panel that reflects the interindividual differences of hepatic drugmetabolizing capacity and drug responsiveness.

Recurrent Variations in DNA Methylation in Human Pluripotent Stem Cells and their Differentiated Derivatives [Illumina Infinium 450K DNA Methylation]

Project description:Human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) are potential sources of cells for modeling disease and development, drug discovery, and regenerative medicine. However, it is important to identify factors that may impact the utility of hPSCs for these applications. In an unbiased analysis of 205 hPSC and 130 somatic samples, we identified hPSC-specific epigenetic and transcriptional aberrations in genes subject to X chromosome inactivation (XCI) and genomic imprinting, which were not corrected during directed differentiation. We also found that specific tissue types were distinguished by unique patterns of DNA hypomethylation, which were recapitulated by DNA demethylation during in vitro directed differentiation. Our results suggest that verification of baseline epigenetic status is critical for hPSC-based disease models in which the observed phenotype depends on proper XCI or imprinting, and that tissue-specific DNA methylation patterns can be accurately modeled during directed differentiation of hPSCs, even in the presence of variations in XCI or imprinting. To obtain a comprehensive view of hPSC-specific epigenomic patterns, we collected 136 hESC and 69 hiPSC samples representing more than 100 cell lines for analysis. In order to establish expected variation in human tissues, we collected 80 high-quality and well-replicated samples representing 17 distinct tissue types from multiple individuals. Finally, we selected 50 additional samples from primary cell lines of diverse origin to control for any aberrations that may arise as a general, non-hPSC-specific, consequence of in vitro manipulation. With these samples, we performed genome-wide DNA methylation and mRNA expression profiling using the Illumina Infinium 27K and 450K DNA Methylation BeadChips as well as the Illumina HT12v3 Gene Expression BeadArray.

Transcriptional profiling of stem cell-derived polarized hepatocytes

Project description:Human stem cell-derived hepatocyte-like cells (HLCs) offer an attractive platform to study liver disease and to test drugs. However, despite their advantages over other hepatocyte culture systems, HLCs lack several in vivo characteristics including cell polarity, which is critical for proper hepatocyte biology. We report a stem cell-based differentiation protocol that uses transwell filters to generate columnar polarized HLCs with clearly defined basolateral and apical membranes separated by tight junctions. Unlike conventional HLCs, polarized HLCs secrete cargo directionally, similar to hepatocytes in vivo. This novel system provides a powerful tool to study hepatocyte biology, disease mechanisms, genetic variation, and drug metabolism in a more physiologically relevant setting.
