Spatial Patterning and Transcriptomic Landscapes of Human Neural Organoids Derived by Local Delivery of Morphogens

ABSTRACT: Positional patterning during human brain development is orchestrated through highly coordinated interplays of locally produced inductive signals. While animal models have elucidated general signaling pathways during early neurodevelopment, individual morphogens' effects underlying the proper human brain regionalization remain unclear. Current technologies are limited in generating stable, well-confined gradients in neural organoids for robust regionalization. Here, we report a Matrigel-free passive diffusion-based morphogen gradient generator (PdMG) that reliably established a steep exogenous spatial morphogen gradient in human neural organoids. We further established dorsal-ventral forebrain, rostral-caudal fore-midbrain, and rostral-caudal fore-mid/hindbrain/spinal cord patterning by applying Sonic hedgehog/ WNT-inhibitor, WNT, and retinoic acid gradients, respectively. Spatial transcriptomics analysis revealed robust regionalization in early-stage patterned organoids, as well as active neurogenesis and GABAergic interneuron migrations in late-stage patterned organoids. Together, this study provides a framework for modeling the spatial-temporal morphogen dynamics that regulate key cell fate specifications and axis formations using patterned neural organoid models.

A microfluidic platform for anterior-posterior human endoderm patterning via countervailing morphogen gradients in vitro

Project description:Understanding how morphogen gradients spatially pattern tissues is a fundamental question in developmental biology but can be difficult to directly address using conventional approaches. Here we expose hPSC-derived endoderm cells to countervailing gradients of anteriorizing and posteriorizing signals using a widely available microfluidic device. This approach yielded spatially patterned cultures comprising anterior foregut (precursor to the thyroid, esophagus, and lungs) and mid/hindgut (precursor to the intestines) cells, whose identities were confirmed using single-cell RNA-sequencing. By exposing stem cells to externally applied signaling gradients, this widely accessible microfluidic platform should accelerate the production of spatially patterned tissues, complementing internally self-organizing organoids. Applying artificial morphogen gradients in vitro may also illuminate signaling gradient interpretation mechanisms that are otherwise challenging to study in mammalian embryos in vivo.

Genome wide map of SOX1 occupancy in human embryonic stem cell derived neural progenitors

Project description:To understand how SOX1's binding profile in neural progenitor with different regional identities, we differentiated hESC into neural progenitors with rostral and caudal identies throught modulating Wnt signaling pathway. We collected cells at neural differentiation day 4 and 8, and performed SOX1 ChIP-seq to investigate SOX1's genome wide binding profiles. These results provide important information for the mechanism underlying SOX1's functions in early regionalization.

Transcription profiling of mouse E12.5 ePet-EYFP rostral and caudal serotonin (5HT) neurons purified by flow cytometry

Project description:The 5HT system is organized into rostral and caudal populations with discrete anatomical locations and opposite axonal trajectories in the developing hindbrain. 5HT neuron cell bodies in the rostral subdivision migrate to the midbrain and pons and extend ascending projections throughout the forebrain. 5HT cell bodies in the caudal subdivision migrate to the ventral medulla and caudal half of the pons and provide descending projections to the brainstem and spinal cord. Experiment Overall Design: We used microarrays to determine genes expressed by both rostral and caudal 5HT neurons as well as genes that are differentially expressed between rostral and caudal 5HT neurons at E12.5 when axon pathfinding and cell migration are underway. E12.5 neural tubes were isolated from ePet-EYFP embryos and dissected into a rostral domain (mesecephalic flexure to pontine flexure) and a caudal domain (pontine flexure to spinal cord). After cell dissociation (details under growth protocol), cells were subjected to fluorescent activated cell sorting (FACS) to obtain 4 cell populations. R+ = rostral ePetEYFP positive 5HT neurons; R- = YFP negative non-serotonergic cells in the rostral neural tube; C+ = caudal ePetEYFP positive 5HT neurons; C- = YFP negative non-serotonergic cells in the caudal neural tube. 200,000 cells for each of the 4 cell types (R+, R-, C+, C-) were collected for RNA extraction and hybridization to Affymetrix Mouse 430 2.0 arrays.

Self-patterning of rostral-caudal neuroectoderm requires dual role of Fgf signaling for localized Wnt antagonism

Project description:The neuroectoderm is patterned along a rostral-caudal axis in response to localized factors in the embryo, but exactly how these factors act as positional information for this patterning is not yet fully understood. Here, using the self-organizing properties of mouse embryonic stem cell (ESC), we report that ESC-derived neuroectoderm self-generates a Six3+ rostral and a Irx3+ caudal bipolarized patterning. In this instance, localized Fgf signaling performs dual roles, as it regulates Six3+ rostral polarization at an earlier stage and promotes Wnt signaling at a later stage. The Wnt signaling components are differentially expressed in the polarized tissues, leading to genome-wide Irx3+ caudal-polarization signals. Surprisingly, differentially expressed Wnt agonists and antagonists have essential roles in orchestrating the formation of a balanced rostral-caudal neuroectoderm pattern. Together, our findings provide key processes for dynamic self-patterning and evidence that a temporally and locally regulated interaction between Fgf and Wnt signaling controls self-patterning in ESC-derived neuroectoderm.

SOX1 is required for the specification of rostral hindbrain neural progenitor cells from human embryonic stem cells

Project description:Region-specific neural progenitor cells (NPCs) can be generated from human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) through modulating signaling pathways. However, how intrinsic transcriptional factors contribute to the neural regionalization are not well characterized. Here, we generate region-specific NPCs from hESCs and find that SOX1 is highly expressed in NPCs with the rostral hindbrain identity. Moreover, we find that OTX2 inhibits SOX1 expression, displaying exclusive expression between the two factors. Furthermore, SOX1 knockout (KO) leads to up-regulation of midbrain genes and down-regulation of rostral hindbrain genes, indicating that SOX1 is necessary for specification of rostral hindbrain NPCs. Our SOX1 ChIP-sequencing analysis reveals that SOX1 binds to the distal region of GBX2 to activate its expression. Overexpression of GBX2 largely abrogates SOX1-KO induced aberrant gene expression. Taken together, this study uncovers previously unappreciated role of SOX1 in early neural regionalization and provides new information for the precise control of the OTX2/GBX2 interface.

Patterning ganglionic eminences in developing human brain organoids using morphogen gradient inducing device

Project description:In early neurodevelopment, the central nervous system is established through the coordination of various neural organizers directing tissue patterning and cell differentiation. Better recapitulation of morphogen gradient production and signaling will be crucial for establishing improved developmental models of the brainin vitro. Here, we developed a method by assembling polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) devices capable of generating a sustained chemical gradient to produce patterned brain organoids, which we termedMorphogen-gradientInducedBrainOrganoids (MIBOs). At 3.5 weeks, MIBOs replicated Dorsal-Ventral patterning observed in the Ganglionic Eminence (GE). Analysis of matured MIBOs through single-cell RNA sequencing revealed distinct Dorsal GE derived CALB2+ interneurons (INs), Medium Spiny Neurons (MSNs), and MGE derived cell types. Finally, we demonstrate long term culturing capabilities with MIBOs maintaining stable neural activity in cultures grown up to 5.5 months. MIBOs demonstrate a versatile approach for generating spatially patterned brain organoids for embryonic development and disease modeling.

Construction of a Mammalian Embryo from Embryonic Stem Cells Instructed by Morphogen Gradients

Project description:Generating properly organized and differentiated embryonic structures in vitro from aggregates of pluripotent cells remains a major challenge. In a living embryo, the interplay in between signaling molecules known as morphogens and their antagonists lead to gradients of activity that instruct cells about their fate, leading to patterning and morphogenesis. Here we show that experimentally engineering a morphogen signaling center within an aggregate of mouse pluripotent stem cells is sufficient to mimic the function of an embryo organizer and to trigger embryonic development. The resulting embryoids are remarkably well patterned along anterior-posterior and dorsal-ventral axes, generate three germ layers through a process of gastrulation and differentiate germ layer derivatives (including notochord, vasculature, neural tube, neural crest, endoderm) similar to an authentic embryo at E9-E9.5.
