Project description:In this work, we characterized the epigenomic integrity of 17 hiPSC lines derived from six different cell types with varied reprogramming efficiencies. We demonstrate that epigenetic aberrations are a general feature of the hiPSC state and are independent of the somatic cell source. Additionally, we determine that both shared and line-specific epigenetic aberrations in hiPSCs can directly translate into changes in gene expression in both the pluripotent and differentiated states. Examination of differential methylation between iPSC and ESCs through differentiated states. Examination of differential methylation between iPSC and somatic cell source and iPSC and ESCs.

Project description:Due to their somatic cell origin, human induced pluripotent stem cells (HiPSCs) are assumed to carry a normal diploid genome, and adaptive chromosomal aberrations have not been fully evaluated. Here, we analyzed the chromosomal integrity of 66 HiPSC and 38 human embryonic stem cell (HESC) samples from 18 different studies by global gene expression meta-analysis. We report identification of a substantial number of cell lines carrying full and partial chromosomal aberrations, half of which were validated at the DNA level. Several aberrations resulted from culture adaptation, and others are suspected to originate from the parent somatic cell. Our classification revealed a third type of aneuploidy already evident in early passage HiPSCs, suggesting considerable selective pressure during the reprogramming process. The analysis indicated high incidence of chromosome 12 duplications, resulting in significant enrichment for cell cycle related genes. Such aneuploidy may limit the differentiation capacity and increase the tumorigenicity of HiPSCs.

Project description:Human induced pluripotent stem cells (hIPSCs) represent a unique opportunity for regenerative medicine since they offer the prospect of generating unlimited quantities of cells for autologous transplantation as a novel treatment for a broad range of disorders. It is now known that primary iPS cells often carry genomic aberrations and these abnormality may compromise their possibility of clinical application. We analysed primary hIPSC lines derived from monoclonal human endothelial progenitor cell lines by array-based comparative genomic hybridisation.

Project description:Human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived neural stem/progenitor cells (hiPSC-NSCs) are a promising source of cell therapy approaches to treat neurodegenerative and demyelinating disorders. Despite ongoing efforts to characterize hiPSC-derived cells in vitro and in vivo, we lack comprehensive genome- and transcriptome-wide studies addressing hiPSC-NSC identity and safety, which are critical for establishing accepted criteria for prospective clinical applications. Here, we evaluated the transcriptional and epigenetic signatures of hiPSCs and differentiated hiPSC-NSC progeny, finding that the hiPSC-to-NSC transition results in a complete loss of pluripotency and the acquisition of a radial glia-associated transcriptional and gene regulatory signatures. Importantly, hiPSC-NSCs share with somatic human fetal NSCs (hfNSCs) the main transcriptional and epigenetic patterns associated with NSC-specific biology. In vivo, long-term observation (up to 10 months) of mice intracerebrally transplanted as neonates with hiPSC-NSCs showed robust engraftment and widespread distribution of hiPSC-NSCs in the host brain parenchyma. Engrafted hiPSC-NSCs displayed multilineage potential and preferentially generated glial cells. No hyperproliferation, tumor formation, or expression of pluripotency markers was observed. Finally, we identified a novel candidate transcription factor involved in the astroglial commitment of hiPSC-NSCs. Overall, these comprehensive in vitro and in vivo analyses clarify the cell identity and safety profile of hiPSC-NSCs, supporting their continuing development as an alternative to somatic hfNSCs in treating neurodegenerative and demyelinating disorders.

Project description:It remains controversial whether human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) are distinct from human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) in their molecular signatures and differentiation properties. We examined the gene expression and DNA methylation of 49 hiPSC and 10 hESC lines and identified no molecular signatures that distinguished hiPSCs from hESCs. Comparisons of the in vitro directed neural differentiation of 40 hiPSC and four hESC lines showed that most hiPSC clones were comparable to hESCs. However, in seven hiPSC clones, significant amount of undifferentiated cells persisted even after neural differentiation and resulted in teratoma formation when transplantated into mouse brains. These differentiation-defective hiPSC clones were marked by higher expression of several genes, including those expressed from long terminal repeats of human endogenous retroviruses. These data demonstrated that many hiPSC clones are indistinguishable from hESCs, while some defective hiPSC clones need to be eliminated prior to their application for regenerative medicine. Bisulphite converted DNA from 10 hESCs, 49 hiPSCs, 2 hECCs, 6 somatic cells and 3 cancer cell lines were hybridized to the Illumina Infinium 27k Human Methylation Beadchip.
