Improving Human Cardiac Organoid Design Using Transcriptomics

ABSTRACT: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death worldwide. To this end, human cardiac organoids (hCOs) have been developed for improved organotypic CVD modeling over conventional in vivo animal models. Utilizing human cells, hCOs hold great promise to bridge key gaps in CVD research pertaining to human-specific conditions. hCOs are multicellular 3D models which resemble heart structure and function. Varying hCOs fabrication techniques leads to functional and phenotypic differences. To investigate heterogeneity across hCO platforms, we performed a transcriptomic analysis utilizing bulk RNA-sequencing from four previously published unique hCO studies. We further compared selected hCOs to 2D and 3D hiPSC-derived cardiomyocytes (hiPSC-CMs), as well as fetal and adult human myocardium bulk RNA-sequencing samples. Upon investigation utilizing Principal Component Analysis (PCA), K-means clustering analysis of key genes, and further downstream analyses such as Gene Set Enrichment (GSEA), Gene Set Variation (GSVA), and GO term enrichment, we found that hCO fabrication method influences maturity and cellular heterogeneity across models. Thus, we propose that adjustment of fabrication method will result in an hCO with a defined maturity and transcriptomic profile to facilitate its specified applications, in turn maximizing its modeling potential.

Multicellular human cardiac organoids transcriptomically model distinct tissue-level features of adult myocardium

Project description:Human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (hiPSC-CMs) have been widely used for disease modeling and drug cardiotoxicity screening. To this end, we recently developed human cardiac organoids (hCOs) for modeling human myocardium. Here, we perform a transcriptomic analysis of various in vitro hiPSC-CM platforms (2D iPSC-CM, 3D iPSC-CM and hCOs) to deduce strengths and limitations of these in vitro models. We further compared iPSC-CM models to human myocardium samples. Our data shows that the 3D in vitro environment of 3D hiPSC-CMs and hCOs stimulates expression of genes associated with tissue formation. hCOs demonstrated diverse physiologically relevant cellular functions compared to hiPSC-CM only models. Including other cardiac cell types within hCOs led to more transcriptomic similarly to adult myocardium. hCOs lack matured cardiomyocytes and immune cells which limits a complete replication of human adult myocardium. In conclusion, 3D hCOs are transcriptomically similar to myocardium, and future developments of engineered 3D cardiac models would benefit from diversifying cell populations, especially immune cells.

Development of functional resident macrophages in human pluripotent stem cell-derived colonic organoids and human fetal colon [scrna-seq]

Project description:Most organs have tissue resident immune cells that function during tissue development, homeostasis and disease. Human organoids, derived either from adult tissues or from pluripotent stem cells (PSCs), have been lacking these immune cells, which limits their utility to model many normal and disease processes. Here we describe that human PSC-derived colonic organoids (HCOs) co-develop a diverse population of immune cells. Comparisons to the developing human hematopoietic cells, demonstrate that HCO cultures developed hemogenic endothelium and erythromyeloid progenitors that undergo stereotypical steps in differentiation, resulting in the generation of macrophages. HCO macrophages acquired a transcriptional signature most similar to human fetal small and large intestine tissue-resident macrophages. Functional analyses demonstrate that HCO-macrophages modulate cytokine secretion in response to pro- and anti-inflammatory signals. In addition, macrophages were able to phagocytose and mount a robust response to pathogenic bacteria. In HCOs that were transplanted into mice, macrophages expanded within the colonic organoid tissue, established a close association with the colonic epithelium and were not displaced by the host bone marrow-derived macrophages. These studies support the conclusion that hemogenic endothelium in HCOs gives rise to multipotent hematopoietic progenitors and functional tissue-resident macrophages.

Patient-derived iPSC-cerebral organoid modeling of the 17q11.2 microdeletion syndrome establishes CRLF3 as a critical regulator of neurogenesis

Project description:Neurodevelopmental disorders are often caused by chromosomal microdeletions encompassing numerous contiguous genes. One such microdeletion on chromosome 17q11.2, involving the NF1 gene and flanking regions ( NF1 total gene deletion; NF1 -TGD), occurs in a subset of Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) patients with severe developmental delays and intellectual disability. Using patient-derived human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC)-cerebral organoids (hCOs), we identified both neural stem cell (NSC) proliferation and neuronal maturation abnormalities in NF1 -TGD hCOs. While increased NSC proliferation resulted from decreased NF1 /RAS regulation, the neuronal defects (delayed neuronal differentiation, increased immature neuron apoptosis, and impaired dendrite maturation) were caused by reduced cytokine receptor-like factor 3 ( CRLF3 ) expression. Furthermore, we demonstrated a higher autistic trait burden in NF1 patients harboring a deleterious germline mutation in the CRLF3 gene (c.1166T>C, p.Leu389Pro). Collectively, these findings identify a new causative gene within the NF1 -TGD locus responsible for hCO neuronal abnormalities and autism in children with NF1.

LC-MSMS study of hiPSC-derived β-like cells in different 3D Eevironments

Project description:In this project hiPSC-derived β-like cells were studied in two different 3D enviromnets; size-adjusted cell aggregates (using Aggrewell™ plates) and inside alginate capsules. The hiPSC derived from a patient with maturity-onset diabetes of the young 1 (MODY1), which is a monogenic diabetes form, caused by a mutation in the HNF4A gene. We also generated and included a CRISPR/cas9 corrected isogenic control line. Human islets were also included as positive control. In the data analysis we compared to proteome of the cells in 3D environments compared to the frat 2D enviromnet. We found HNF4A mutation specific effects with both distinct 3D environments, where the cells are challenged differentially in term of oxygen, nutrient supply and cell-to-cell contact. We identified HNF4A mutation-specific phenotypes, including a unique proteome signature suggesting metabolic changes in the alginate bead environment, and mutation-specific cellular phenotypes and a unique proteome signature in the aggregation environment.

Functionally Integrated Top-down Proteomics for Standardized Assessment of Human Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell-derived Engineered Cardiac Tissues

Project description:3-dimensional (3D) human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived engineered cardiac tissues (hiPSC-ECTs) have emerged as a promising alternative to 2-dimensional hiPSC-cardiomyocyte monolayer systems because hiPSC-ECTs are a closer representation of endogenous cardiac tissues and more faithfully reflect the relevant cardiac pathophysiology. The ability to perform functional and molecular assessments using the same hiPSC-ECT construct would allow for more reliable correlation between observed functional performance and underlying molecular events, and thus is critically needed. Herein, for the first time, we have established an integrated method that permits sequential assessment of functional properties and top-down proteomics from the same single hiPSC-ECT construct. We quantitatively determined the differences in isometric twitch force and the sarcomeric proteoforms between two groups of hiPSC-ECTs that differed in the duration of time of 3D-ECT culture. Importantly, by using this integrated method we discovered a new and strong correlation between the measured contractile parameters and the phosphorylation levels of alpha-tropomyosin between the two groups of hiPSC-ECTs. The integration of functional assessments together with molecular characterization by top-down proteomics in the same hiPSC-ECT construct enables a holistic analysis of hiPSC-ECTs to accelerate their applications in disease modeling, cardiotoxicity, and drug discovery.

Effects of early geometric confinement on the transcriptomic profile of human cerebral organoids

Project description:Here, we used agarose microwells to control embryos body (EB) shapes and generated whole brain human cerebral organoids (hCO) from these EBs to investigate the effects of early spatial regulation on transcriptomic changes during brain region specification using bulk RNA sequencing. Our results showed that gross morphological and transcriptional changes related to hCO differentiation were similar between 96-well and microwell hCOs, indicating that the microwell growth environment did not significantly affect the overall neural differentiation or viability of the hCOs. However, investigating individual developmental time points and comparing across 96-well and microwell conditions more closely revealed notable differences in genes associated with pluripotency, mesoderm, MGE, retina and cortical development, and epithelial and mesenchymal fates, implying that the microwell growth environment may bias lineage commitment in neurodevelopment. Furthermore, we found that the direction and intensity of this transcriptional bias was associated with the starting EB shapes. The butterfly shape showed the most noticeable differences, followed closely by the peanut shape. Among other notable differences, round microwells exhibited a potential delay in the kinetics of neurodevelopment, and our results also demonstrated that non-spherical shapes may favor the development of MGE-associated brain regions and cell types over cortical regions.

Development of human brain organoids with functional vascular-like system

Project description:Human cortical organoids (hCOs), derived from human embryonic stem cells (hESCs), provide an excellent platform to study human brain development and diseases in complex 3D tissue. However, current hCOs lack microvasculature, resulting in limited oxygen and nutrient delivery to inner-most parts of hCOs. Previous studies demonstrated that the expression of human ETS variant 2 (hETV2) directly converts human fibroblasts to functional endothelial cells. Here, we engineered hESCs to ectopically express hETV2 to create in vitro vasculature in hCOs, namely vhCOs (vascularized hCOs). hETV2-expressing cells in hCOs contributed to forming a complex vascular network in hCOs. Importantly, the presence of vascularization resulted in enhanced functional maturation of organoids. We found that vhCOs acquired several blood-brain barrier (BBB) characteristics including increased expression of tight junctions, nutrient transporters, and trans-endothelial electrical resistance. Finally, hETV2-induced endothelium supported the formation of perfused blood vessels in vivo. These vhCOs form vasculature that resemble early prenatal brain, and present a robust model to study brain disease in vitro.

Proteomics on pancreas-on-chip model

Project description:In this study, we engineered a micro-well duct-on-chip platform to generate defined 3D aggregates from hiPSC-derived PPs and subsequently induce differentiation toward PDLOs. Time-resolved scRNA-seq combined with cleared immunofluorescence imaging provided a deep understanding of in vitro ductal cell type differentiation. By defining the emergent cell types at each stage of differentiation based on their gene expression profiles and organoid structures, we provide a precise cell-by-cell description of the in vitro differentiation trajectory. Transcriptional data of PDLOs were complemented by their proteome and secretome data, allowing the identification and validation of prognostic cancer marker. Thus, we show the applicability of hiPSC-derived PDLOs-on-chip for future ductal disease modeling.

Engineering skeletal muscle tissues with advanced maturity improves synapse formation with human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived motor neurons

Project description:To develop effective cures for neuromuscular diseases, human-relevant in vitro models of neuromuscular tissues are critically needed to probe disease mechanisms on the cellular and molecular level. However, previous attempts to co-culture motor neurons and skeletal muscle have resulted in relatively immature neuromuscular junctions (NMJs). In this study, NMJs formed by human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC)-derived motor neurons were improved by optimizing the maturity of the co-cultured muscle tissue. First, muscle tissues were engineered from the C2C12 mouse myoblast cell line, cryopreserved primary human myoblasts, and freshly isolated primary chick myoblasts on micromolded gelatin hydrogels. After three weeks, only chick muscle tissues remained stably adhered to hydrogels and exhibited progressive increases in myogenic index and stress generation, approaching values generated by native muscle tissue. After three weeks of co-culture with hiPSC-derived motor neurons, engineered chick muscle tissues formed NMJs with increasing co-localization of pre- and post-synaptic markers as well as increased frequency and magnitude of synaptic activity, surpassing structural and functional maturity of previous in vitro models. Engineered chick muscle tissues also demonstrated increased expression of genes related to sarcomere maturation and innervation over time, revealing new insights into the molecular pathways that likely contribute to enhanced NMJ formation. These approaches for engineering human-relevant neuromuscular tissues with relatively mature NMJs and interrogating their structure and function have many applications in neuromuscular disease modeling and drug development.
