Human embryonic stem cells as a tool to study hepatocyte differentiation

ABSTRACT: The availability of pluripotent stem cells offers the possibility of using such cells to model hepatic disease and development. With this in mind, we previously established a protocol that facilitates the differentiation of both human embryonic stem cells and induced pluritpotent cells into cells with hepatocyte characteristics. The use of highly defined culture conditions and the avoidance of feeder cells or embryoid bodies allowed synchronous and reproducible differentiation to occur. The differentiation toward a hepatocyte–like fate appeared to recapitulate many of the stages normally associated with the formation of hepatocytes in vivo. In the current study we addressed the feasibility of using human pluripotent stem cells to probe the molecular mechanisms underlying human hepatocyte differentiation. We demonstrate i) that human ES cells express a number of mRNAs that characterize each stage in the differentiation process, ii) that gene expression can be efficiently depleted throughout the differentiation time course using shRNAs expressed from lentiviruses, and iii) that the nuclear hormone receptor HNF4a is essential for specification of human hepatic progenitor cells by establishing expression of the network of transcription factors that control hepatocyte cell fate.

RNA was collected at each stage of the hepatocyte differentiation protocol and used to probe Affymetrix U133 plus 2.0 arrays during three independent differentiations.

Factors from human embryonic stem cell-derived fibroblast-like cells promote topology-dependent hepatic differentiation in primate embryonic stem cells and human induced pluripotent stem cells

Project description:The future clinical use of embryonic stem cell (ESC)-based hepatocyte replacement therapy depends on the development of an efficient procedure for differentiation of hepatocyes from ESCs. Here we report that a high density of human embryonic stem cell (ESC)-derived fibroblast-like cells (hESdFs) supported the efficient generation of hepatocyte-like cells (HLCs) with functional and mature hepatic phenotypes from primate ESCs and human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). Molecular and immunocytochemistry analyses revealed that hESdFs caused a rapid loss of pluripotency and induced a sequential endoderm-to-hepatocyte differentiation in the central area of ESC colonies. Knockdown experiments demonstrated that pluripotent stem cells were directed toward endodermal and hepatic lineages by FGF2 and Activin A secreted from hESdFs. Furthermore, we found that the central region of ESC colonies was essential for the hepatic endoderm-specific differentiation, as its removal caused a complete disruption of endodermal differentiation. In conclusion, we describe a novel in vitro differentiation model, and show that hESdF-secreted factors act in concert with regional features of ESC colonies to induce robust hepatic endoderm differentiation in primate pluripotent stem cells. Total RNA were isolated from ORMES6 ESC, differentiated cells at IVDS2 and 3, and cells in the central foci (IVDS2-C) and peripheral (IVDS2-P) area of ESC colonies at IVDS2. Each condition was repeated twice and used ORMES6 ESC as control.

Metabolomic Profiling of Human Pluripotent Stem Cell Differentiation into Lung Progenitors

Project description:Metabolism is vital to cellular function and tissue homeostasis during human lung development. In utero, embryonic pluripotent stem cells undergo endodermal differentiation towards a lung progenitor cell fate that can be mimicked in vitro using induced human pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) to study genetic mutations. To identify differences between wild type and surfactant protein B (SFTPB)-deficient cell lines during endoderm specification towards lung, we used an untargeted metabolomics approach to evaluate the developmental changes in metabolites. We found that the metabolites most enriched during the differentiation from pluripotent stem cell to lung progenitor cell, regardless of cell line, were sphingomyelins and phosphatidylcholines, two important lipid classes in fetal lung development. The SFTPB mutation had no metabolic impact on early endodermal lung development. The identified metabolite signatures during lung progenitor cell differentiation may be utilized as biomarkers for normal embryonic lung development.

Transcription profiling by array of human hepatic cells derived from foreskin fibroblast cell line and from embryonic stem cells.

Project description:Reprogrammed somatic cells offer a valuable source of pluripotent cells that have the potential to differentiate into many cells types and provide a new tool for regenerative medicine. In the present study we differentiated induced pluripotent stem cells (iPS cells) into hepatic cells. We first showed that mouse iPS cells could from a complete liver in mouse embryo (E14.5) including hepatocytes, endothelial cells, sinusoidal cells and resident macrophages. We then designed a highly efficient hepatocyte differentiation protocol using defined factors on human embryonic stem cells (ES cells). This protocol was found to generate more than 80% albumin expressing cells that show hepatic functions and express most of liver genes as shown by microarray analyses. Similar results were obtained when human iPS cells were induced to differentiate following the same procedure. Experiment Overall Design: Total RNA was harvested from the following sources and used for Affymetrix array analysis following manufacturer defined protocols: Experiment Overall Design: 1) human foreskin fibroblasts, ATCC cell line CRL2097, 3 independent cultures Experiment Overall Design: 2) induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells derived from CRL2097, 3 independent undifferentiated cultures Experiment Overall Design: 3) induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells derived from CRL2097, 3 independent cultures harvested at day 20 (d20) of a hepatic differentiation protocol Experiment Overall Design: 4) WAO9 human embryonic stem cells, 3 independent undifferentiated cultures Experiment Overall Design: 5) WAO9 human embryonic stem cells, 3 independent cultures harvested at day 20 (d20) of a hepatic differentiation protocol. <br><br>This experiment was reloaded in November 2010 after additional curation

Gene expression profile of human embryonic stem cell-derived hepatocyte-like cells

Project description:The differentiation of pluripotent stem cells to hepatocyte-like cells offers the perspective of unlimited supply of human hepatocytes. However, the degree of differentiation of hepatic-like cells (HLC) remains controversial. To obtain an unbiased characterization, we performed a transcriptomics study using the Affymetrix Gene ChipÂ® HG-U133 plus 2.0, with HLC derived from embryonic and induced stem cells (ESC, hiPSC) from two different laboratories. Genome-wide gene expression profiles of ESC and HLC were compared to freshly isolated and up to 14 days cultivated primary human hepatocytes (see submission E-MTAB-3994) obtained under patient informed consent from three male donors. Three biological replicas were used for each ESC and HLC models. (associated data set: E-MTAB-3994 - Gene expression profile of human embryonic stem cell-derived hepatocyte-like cells in matrigel and recombinant laminins)

High temporal resolution proteome and phosphoproteome profiling of stem cell-derived hepatocyte development

Project description:Primary human hepatocytes are widely used to evaluate liver toxicity of drugs, but they are scarce and demanding to culture. Stem cell-derived hepatocytes are increasingly discussed as alternatives. To obtain a better appreciation of the molecular processes during the differentiation of induced pluripotent stem cells into hepatocytes, we employ a quantitative proteomic approach to follow the expression of 9,000 proteins, 12,000 phosphorylation sites, and 800 acetylation sites over time. The analysis reveals stage-specific markers, a major molecular switch between hepatic endoderm versus immature hepatocyte-like cells impacting e.g. metabolism, the cell cycle, kinase activity, and the expression of drug transporters. Comparing the proteomes of 2D and 3D-derived hepatocytes to fetal and adult liver, indicate a fetal-like status of the in vitro models and lower expression of important ADME/Tox proteins. The collective data enable constructing a molecular roadmap of hepatocyte development that serve as a valuable resource for future research.

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.

Integrated Multi-Omics Reveal Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 Restricts Human Trophoblast Induction

Project description:Human naive pluripotent stem cells have unrestricted lineage potential. Underpinning this property, naive cells are thought to lack chromatin-based lineage barriers. However, this assumption has not been tested. Here, we define the chromatin-associated proteome, histone post-translational modifications and transcriptome of human naive and primed pluripotent stem cells. Our integrated analysis reveals differences in the relative abundance and activities of distinct chromatin modules. We identify a strong enrichment of Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 (PRC2)-associated H3K27me3 in naive pluripotent stem cell chromatin, and H3K27me3 enrichment at promoters of lineage-determining genes, including trophoblast regulators. PRC2 activity acts as a chromatin barrier restricting the differentiation of naive cells towards the trophoblast lineage, while inhibition of PRC2 promotes trophoblast fate induction and cavity formation in human blastoids. Together, our results establish that human naive pluripotent stem cells are not epigenetically unrestricted, but instead possess chromatin mechanisms that oppose the induction of alternative cell fates.
