Chromatin accessibility of genomic regions in human mesenchymal stem cells cultured in sliding hydrogels (SGs) and chemical hydrogels (CGs) undergoing chondrogenesis.

ABSTRACT: Cells can deform their local microenvironment by exerting forces through pushing and pulling. Such interactions result in behaviors such as cell spreading, cell migration, or cell volume expansion, which occur on timescales of hours to days. However, whether cells can deform local niches at shorter timescales and how such interactions impact long-term cell fates remain largely unknown. Here we report “cell dancing”- a previously unknown cell behavior characterized by seconds-to-minutes scale deformation of the pericellular niche and enhanced cytoskeletal and nuclear dynamics. Using hydrogels that allow cells to deform their local 3D niche and mesenchymal stem cell chondrogenesis as a model system, we identify early-stage cell dancing essential for enhancing stem cell differentiation in 3D. This is mediated through nuclear mechanotransduction pathways that repress global chromatin accessibility, which is necessary for cell dancing-enhanced differentiation. We further demonstrate that cell dancing induces nuclear deformations and phospholipase A2 (PLA2) signaling, and small molecules targeting this pathway can further boost stem cell chondrogenesis. Finally, we validate that cell dancing can enhance stem cell differentiation towards multiple lineages and occurs in other commonly used hydrogel systems. These results establish cell dancing as a novel cell behavior in 3D that may be broadly applied to promote desirable cell fates and tissue outcomes.

Reconstructing ocular surfaces with limbal stem cells supported by porous composite hydrogels

Project description:Simple limbal epithelial transplantation (SLET) is a novel in vivo limbal stem cells (LSCs) amplification technique used to reconstruct the ocular surface in¬¬¬ limbal stem cell deficiency (LSCD). However, SLET is limited to two-dimensional (2D) culture systems, and the tissue pieces are easily lost. The developments in hydrogel technology have provided the possibility of three-dimensional (3D) amplification of stem cells. In this study, an injectable photocrosslinkable hydrogel was developed based on porous gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA)/silk fibroin glycidyl methacrylate (SilMA), allowing the 3D culture of LSCs with enhanced expansion efficiency and simplified serial cell culture operations to construct an ocular surface with a uniform cell distribution. The porous GelMA/SilMA hydrogels demonstrated excellent transparency and good adhesion. More importantly, this hydrogel maintained the viability and supported the adhesion of the encapsulated rabbit LSCs and promoted their migration in vitro in 3D culture environments. Furthermore, the immunofluorescence staining results showed positive expression of CK3, CK12, P63 and CK14 in differentiated cells. The above results demonstrated that this porous GelMA/SilMA hydrogel 3D culture of LSCs is beneficial for maintaining the phenotype of stem cells and promoting their differentiation into corneal epithelial cells. These findings provide valuable insights into stem cell therapies and regenerative medicine for ocular surface reconstruction.

Inflammatory Activation Drives Re-Sculpting and Shear-Thinning of the Dendritic Cell Nucleus

Project description:To mount an adaptive immune response, dendritic cells must migrate to lymph nodes to present antigens to T cells. Critical to 3D migration is the nucleus, which is the size-limiting barrier for migration through the extracellular matrix. Here, we show that inflammatory activation of dendritic cells leads to the nucleus becoming spherically deformed and enables dendritic cells to overcome the typical 2- to 3-μm diameter limit for 3D migration through gaps in the extracellular matrix. We show that the nuclear shape change is partially attained through reduced cell adhesion, whereas improved 3D migration is achieved through reprogramming of the actin cytoskeleton. Specifically, our data point to a model whereby the phosphorylation of cofilin-1 at serine 41 drives the assembly of a cofilin-actomyosin ring proximal to the nucleus and enhances migration through 3D collagen gels. In summary, these data describe signaling events through which dendritic cells deform their nucleus and enhance their migratory capacity.

Lineage-specific reorganization of nuclear peripheral heterochromatin and H3K9me2 domains

Project description:Dynamic and regulated organization of chromatin within the 3-dimensional space of the nucleus has been postulated to contribute to gene accessibility, gene expression, and cell fate. Here we define the genome-wide lineage-specific reorganization of nuclear peripheral heterochromatin as a multipotent P19 embryocarcinoma cell adopts either a neural or a cardiac fate. We demonstrate that H3K9me2 marked nuclear peripheral heterochromatin undergoes lineage-specific local reorganization during cell fate determination. Lineage-specific loss of H3K9me2 is associated with spatial repositioning of genomic loci away from the nuclear periphery as shown by high-resolution 3D immuno-fluorescence in situ hybridization (3D immuno-FISH). The lineage-specific repositioning of loci away from the nuclear periphery is not always associated with activation of gene expression, but a subset of these genes is transcriptionally activated. Master regulator Mef2c is specifically repositioned from nuclear periphery during early neurogenic differentiation, but not early cardiogenic differentiation, with associated transcript upregulation. Master regulator Myocd is specifically repositioned during early cardiogenic differentiation, but not early neurogenic differentiation, and is transcriptionally upregulated at later stages of cardiac differentiation. These results provide experimental evidence for lineage-specific regulation of nuclear architecture when the same multipotent progenitor cell adopts distinct fates.

Photo-click hydrogels for in situ differentiation of pancreatic progenitors from iPSCs

Project description:Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) can be differentiated to cells in all three germ layers, as well as cells in the extraembryonic tissues. Efforts in iPSC differentiation into pancreatic progenitors in vitro have largely been focused on optimizing soluble growth cues in conventional two-dimensional (2D) culture, whereas the impact of three-dimensional (3D) matrix properties on the morphogenesis of iPSC remains elusive. In this work, we employ gelatin-based thiol-norbornene photo-click hydrogels for in situ 3D differentiation of human iPSCs into pancreatic progenitors (PP). Molecular analysis and single cell RNA-sequencing were utilized to elucidate on the distinct identities of subpopulations within the 2D and 3D differentiated cells. We found that, while established soluble cues led to predominately PP cells in 2D culture, differentiation of iPSCs using the same soluble factors led to prominent branching morphogenesis, ductal network formation, and generation of diverse endoderm populations. Through single-cell RNA-sequencing, we found that 3D differentiation resulted in enrichments of pan-endodermal cells and ductal cells. We further noted the emergence of a group of extraembryonic cells in 3D, which was absent in 2D differentiation. The unexpected emergence of extraembryonic cells in 3D was found to be associated with enrichment of Wnt and BMP signaling pathways, which may have contributed to the emergence of diverse cell populations. The expressions of PP signature genes PDX1 and NKX6.1 were restored through inhibition of Wnt signaling at the beginning of the posterior foregut stage. To our knowledge, this work established the first 3D hydrogel system for in situ differentiation of human iPSCs into PPs. Ongoing work focuses on enhancing pancreatic differentiation efficiency through modulating physicochemical properties of the iPSC-laden matrices.

Spatiotemporal lineage derepression by cell crowding-induced ETV4 inactivation

Project description:All extant amniotes employ a single-layered epithelium of epiblasts as a starting material for gastrulation, suggesting the necessity of the epithelial structure for three germ layer derivation. Using a human embryonic stem cell (hESC) epithelium as a model system, we found that local epithelial crowding derepresses the neuroectoderm fate by spatiotemporal inactivation of ETV4. ETV4 serves as a genetic toggle switch that links cell density to lineage fates. Mechanistically, cell crowding blocks FGF receptor endocytosis by reduced cell-extracellular matrix (ECM) interaction. Disrupted endocytosis decreases ETV4 protein stability by ERK inactivation. Mathematical modeling of epithelial crowding demonstrates that the cooperativity of integrin-ECM interaction transforms the gradient of crowdedness into bistable ETV4 transition, which ensures the switch-like function of ETV4 in lineage determination. Our results propose local cell crowding in a stem cell epithelium as a key cellular mechanism for spatiotemporal regulation of lineage fates.

Gene expression of LNCaP cells grown in 2D cultures and polyethlene glycol-based hydrogels with the presence of synthetic androgen, R1881

Project description:Analysis of LNCaP cell molecular differences and their response to R1881 in 2D and 3D cultures. Androgen regulated genes were differentially expressed between 2D and 3D cultures. These results provide insights into factors that influence the expression of androgen regulated genes In this study, LNCaP cells cultured in tissue culture plastic (2D) and in the hydrogel (3D) were maintained up to 3 days and 24 days respectively in serum containing media before they were androgen-starved for 48 hours. Cells were either treated with 1nM R1881 or continued to be androgen-deprived (without R1881 with 0.008% ethanol) for another 48 hours prior to cell harvest for gene expression analysis. Biological triplicates were prepared for each condition.

Human alveolar hydrogels promote morphological and transcriptional differentiation in iPSC-derived alveolar type 2 epithelial cells

Project description:Alveolar type 2 epithelial cells (AT2s) derived from human induced pluripotent stem cells (iAT2s) have rapidly contributed to our understanding of AT2 function and disease. However, as iAT2s are primarily cultured in three-dimensional (3D) Matrigel, a matrix derived from cancerous mouse tissue, it is unclear the impact a physiologically relevant matrix will have on iAT2s. Herein, we derive hydrogels from decellularized human lung alveolar-enriched extracellular matrix (aECM) to provide a relevant ex vivo model for the 3D culture of iAT2s. We demonstrate aECM hydrogels retain critical in situ ECM components, including structural and basement membrane proteins. While aECM hydrogels facilitate iAT2 proliferation and alveolosphere formation, a subset of iAT2s rapidly change morphology to thin and elongated ring-like cells. This morphological change correlates with upregulation of recently described iAT2-derived transitional cell state genetic markers. As such, we demonstrate a potentially underappreciated role of physiologically relevant aECM in iAT2 differentiation.
