Generation of human neuromusculoskeletal tri-tissue organoids [snRNA-seq]

ABSTRACT: The human body function requires the crosstalk between the central nervous system and its innervated peripheral targets. One such essential crosstalk involves the connections between neural, muscular, and skeletal tissues, which have not yet been modeled with human cells. Here, we describe the generation of three-dimensional, neuromusculoskeletal tri-tissue organoids (hNMSOs) from human pluripotent stem cells. Staining, single-nucleus RNA-sequencing, and spatial transcriptome profiling revealed the co-emergence and spatially confined organization of neural, muscular, and skeletal lineages relevant to human tissues within individual organoids. The neural, muscular, and skeletal regions of hNMSOs exhibited maturation and established functional connections during development, and skeletal support benefited skeletal muscles’ structural and functional development. Modeling with hNMSOs also unveiled the neuromuscular alterations following pathological skeletal degeneration. Together, our study provides an experimental model for future studies of human neuromusculoskeletal crosstalk and disease.

Human tri-tissue organoids model neuromusculoskeletal development and disease [bulk RNA-Seq]

Project description:The development and function of the human body involves the crosstalk between the central nervous system (CNS) and its innervated peripheral targets. One such essential crosstalk involves the connections between neural, muscular, and skeletal tissues, which have not yet been modeled with human cells. Here, we generate three-dimensional, tri-tissue organoids from human pluripotent stem cells that contain spinal cord, muscular, and skeletal components. The three distinct lineages co-develop in each single organoid and differentiate in a spatially-organized manner. The neural, muscular, and skeletal regions undergo maturation and can establish functional connections during organoid development. Using this system, we find that skeletal support is essential for human skeletal muscles’ structural and functional development. We also show that proinflammatory stimulation in skeletal regions, which resembles the pathological trigger in arthritis-associated conditions, leads to skeletal tissue degeneration, notably, causes neuromuscular structure and function deterioration. We anticipate that our tri-tissue organoids will provide a valuable model for future studies of human neuromusculoskeletal crosstalk and disease.

Advanced Complexity and Short-Term Plasticity of Neural Activity in Reciprocally Connected Human Cerebral Organoids

Project description:An inter-regional cortical tract is one of the most fundamental architectural motifs that integrates neural circuits to orchestrate and generate complex functions of the human brain. To understand the mechanistic significance of inter-regional projections on development of neural circuits, we investigated an in vitro neural tissue model for inter-regional connections, in which two cerebral organoids are connected with a bundle of reciprocally extended axons. The connected organoids produced more complex and intense oscillatory activity than conventional or directly fused cerebral organoids, suggesting the inter-organoid axonal connections enhance and support the complex network activity. In addition, optogenetic stimulation of the inter-organoid axon bundles could entrain the activity of the organoids and induce robust plasticity of the macroscopic circuit. These results demonstrated that the projection axons could serve as a structural hub that boosts functionality of the organoid-circuits. This model could contribute to further investigation on development and functions of macroscopic neuronal circuits in vitro.

Muscle from patients with mitochondrial myopathies and congenital muscular dystrophies versus normal human muscle

Project description:Global gene expression analysis was performed comparing human skeletal muscle samples from patients with various forms of muscular dystrophy and mitochondrial myopathies in order to identify specific gene expression changes associated with collagen VI deficiency (leading to UllrichM-BM-4s Congenital Muscular Dystrophy) and depletion of mitochondrial DNA relative to other mitochondrial myopathies We analysed the gene expression profile of skeletal muscle from children suffering from mitochondrial myopathies and various forms of muscular dystrophy relative to skeletal muscle from healthy children using commercially available arrays that represents the complete human genome (Agilent Human SurePrintGE, 8x60K )

A scalable, clinically severe pig model for Duchenne muscular dystrophy

Project description:Large animal models for Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) are indispensible for preclinical evaluation of novel diagnostic procedures and treatment strategies. To evaluate functional consequences of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) in skeletal muscle and myocardium, we used a new genetically engineered dystrophin KO pig model displaying hallmarks of human DMD. Heart and skeletal muscle tissue samples of DMD pigs and wild-type (WT) controls at three different ages were analyzed by label-free proteomics.

Functional neuronal circuitry and oscillatory dynamics in human brain organoids

Project description:Human brain organoids replicate much of the cellular diversity and developmental anatomy of the human brain. However, the physiology of neuronal circuits within organoids remains under-explored. With high-density CMOS microelectrode arrays and shank electrodes, we captured spontaneous extracellular activity from brain organoids derived from human induced pluripotent stem cells. We inferred functional connectivity from spike timing, revealing a large number of weak connections within a skeleton of significantly fewer strong connections. A benzodiazepine increased the uniformity of firing patterns and decreased the relative fraction of weakly connected edges. Our analysis of the local field potential demonstrate that brain organoids contain neuronal assemblies of sufficient size and functional connectivity to co-activate and generate field potentials from their collective transmembrane currents that phase-lock to spiking activity. These results point to the potential of brain organoids for the study of neuropsychiatric diseases, drug action, and the effects of external stimuli upon neuronal networks.

Self-organizing human trunk 3D neuromuscular organoids

Project description:Neuromuscular networks assemble during early human embryonic development and are essential for the control of body movement. Previous neuromuscular junction modeling efforts using human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) generated either spinal cord neurons or skeletal muscles in monolayer culture. Here, we use hPSC-derived axial stem cells, the building blocks of the posterior body, to simultaneously generate spinal cord neurons and skeletal muscle cells that self-organize to generate human neuromuscular organoids (NMOs) that can be maintained in 3D for several months. Single-cell RNA-sequencing of individual organoids revealed reproducibility across experiments and enabled the tracking of the neural and mesodermal differentiation trajectories as organoids developed and matured. NMOs contain functional neuromuscular junctions supported by terminal Schwann cells. They contract and develop central pattern generator-like neuronal circuits. Finally, we successfully use NMOs to recapitulate key aspects of myasthenia gravis pathology, thus highlighting the significant potential of NMOs for modeling neuromuscular diseases in the future.
