Intraocular liver spheroids for non-invasive high-resolution in vivo monitoring of liver cell function

ABSTRACT: Longitudinal monitoring of liver function in vivo is hindered by the lack of high-resolution non-invasive imaging techniques. Using the anterior chamber of the mouse eye as a transplantation site, we have established a platform for longitudinal in vivo imaging of liver spheroids at cellular resolution. Transplanted liver spheroids engraft on the iris, become vascularized and innervated, retain hepatocyte-specific and liver-like features and can be studied by in vivo confocal microscopy. Employing fluorescent probes administered intravenously or spheroids formed from reporter mice, we showcase potential use of this platform exemplified by monitoring hepatocyte cell cycle activity, bile secretion and lipoprotein uptake. Moreover, we show that hepatic lipid accumulation during diet-induced hepatosteatosis is mirrored in intraocular grafts in vivo. The here described technology will provide a crucial tool to study liver physiology and disease progression in both pre-clinical and basic research as well as a drug screening platform in the pharma industry.

Hepatocyte thorns, a novel drug-induced stress response in human and mouse liver spheroids

Project description:The in vivo-relevant phenotype of 3D liver spheroids allows for long-term studies of e.g. novel mechanisms of chronic drug-induced liver toxicity. Using this system, we present a novel drug-induced stress response in human and murine hepatocyte spheroids wherein long slender filaments form after chronic treatment with four different drugs, of which, three are PPARα an-tagonists. The morphology of the thorns varies between donors and compounds used. They are mainly composed of diverse protein fibres, which are glycosylated. Their formation is inhibited by treatment with fatty acids or antioxidants. Treatment of mice with GW6471, revealed changes in gene and protein expression like those in the spheroids. In addition, similar changes in kera-tin expression were seen following treatment of hepatotoxic drugs including aflatoxin B1, para-cetamol, chlorpromazine, cyclosporine and ketoconazole. We suggest that thorn formation may be indicative of hepatocyte metaplasia in response to toxicity and that more focus should be placed on alterations of ECM derived protein expression as biomarkers of liver disease and chronic drug-induced hepatotoxicity, changes that can be studied in stable in vivo-like hepatic cell systems like the spheroids.

RNA-sequencing of multicellular human liver organoids derived from 3 different iPS cells

Project description:By taking advantage of the foregut generation method, we initially differentiated iPSCs to foregut spheroids through definitive endoderm specification as described. The foregut spheroids were embedded in Matrigel and cultured with retinoic acid (RA). Following 4-day RA treatment, we switched into hepatocyte maturation media for the induction of the hepatocyte differentiation process to establish human liver organoids, hereafter defined as HLO, as early as day 20. To characterize the lipid metabolism related genes in HLO, we conducted RNA sequencing to unbiasedly identify and visualize coordinately expressed gene signatures among groups of three different iPSC derived HLO, and various stage-derived primary-liver cells and tissues as previously described. Correlation spanning tree based on self-organizing maps analysis using 18,338 genes organized into 400 metagenes confirmed overall similarities between HLO and primary hepatocytes, yet distinct from human fetal liver samples. Highly comparable signatures to primary hepatocytes contained major hepatocyte associated genes including lipid metabolism, suggesting that the HLO continue to progress towards a hepatocyte-like fate.

Expansion, in vivo-ex vivo cycling and genetic manipulation of primary human hepatocytes

Project description:Primary human hepatocytes (PHH) are an essential tool for modeling drug metabolism and liver disease. However, variable plating efficiencies, short lifespan in culture and resistance to genetic manipulation have limited their use. Here we show that retrorsine improves human hepatocyte repopulation of chimeric mice to levels where poor donor PHH can be isolated for ex vivo cultures. Mouse-passaged (mp)PHH cultures overcome the marked donor-to-donor variability of cryopreserved PHH and remain functional for months, as demonstrated by metabolic assays and infection with hepatitis B virus and Plasmodium falciparum. mpPHH can be efficiently genetically modified in culture, mobilized and then re-cultured as spheroids or re-transplanted to create highly humanized mice carrying a genetically altered hepatocyte graft. Together, these advances provide flexible tools for studying human liver disease and evaluating hepatocyte-targeted gene therapy approaches

Single cell RNA-sequencing of iPS cells derived multicellular human liver organoids

Project description:By taking advantage of the foregut generation method, we initially differentiated iPSCs to foregut spheroids through definitive endoderm specification as described. The foregut spheroids were embedded in Matrigel and cultured with retinoic acid (RA). Following 4-day RA treatment, we switched into hepatocyte maturation media for the induction of the hepatocyte differentiation process to establish human liver organoids, hereafter defined as HLO, as early as day 20. To gain quantitative insights regarding the cellular composition in HLO, single-cell RNA sequencing was used to analyze their mRNA expression from 4,059 cells. t-distributed stochastic neighbor embedding analysis confirmed the five distinct major clusters among the cells in HLO, containing hepatocyte-, biliary cell-, hepatic stellate cell-, Kupffer cell-, biliary tree (or peribiliary gland) stem cell-like populations.

PDGF receptors and signaling are required for 3D-structure formation and differentiation of human iPSCs-derived hepatic spheroids

Project description:Human iPSC-derived liver organoids (LO) or hepatic spheroids (HS) have attracted widespread interest and the numerous studies on them have recently provided various production protocols. However, the mechanism by which the 3D structures of LO and HS are formed from the 2D-cultured cells and the mechanism of the LO and HS maturation remain largely unknown. In this study, we demonstrate that PDGFRA is specifically induced in the cells that are suitable for HS formation and that PDGF receptors and signaling are required for HS formation and maturation. Additionally, in vivo, we show that the localization of PDGFRα is in complete agreement with mouse E9.5 hepatoblasts which begin to form the 3D-structural liver bud from the single layer. Our results present that PDGFRA play important roles for 3D structure formation and maturation of hepatocyte in vitro and in vivo, and provide a clue to elucidate the hepatocyte differentiation mechanism.

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.

Cold Storage of Rat Hepatocyte Spheroids

Project description:The purpose of this study was to optimize conditions for cold storage of rat hepatocyte spheroids without freezing. Rat hepatocytes were isolated by a two-step perfusion method; hepatocyte spheroids were formed during 48 h of rocked culture in serum-free medium (SFM). Spheroids were then maintained in rocked culture at 37°C (control condition) or cold stored at 4°C for 24 or 48 h in six different cold storage solutions: SFM alone; SFM + 1 mM deferoxamine (Def); SFM + 1 ?M cyclosporin A (CsA); SFM + 1 mM Def + 1 ?M CsA, University of Wisconsin (UW) solution alone, UW + 1 mM Def.

To further characterize them, we compare the global expression profiles among immortalized human liver progenitor-like cells (iHepLPCs), hepatocyte-like cells differentiated from iHepLPCs (iHepLPCs-Hep) and 3D cell spheroids of the iHepLPCs-Hep (iHepLPCs-Hep-3D).
