Chemical conversion of human fibroblasts into functional Schwann cells

ABSTRACT: We used microarrays to detail the transcriptome-wide gene expression changes underlying chemical conversion of human fibroblasts into induced Schwann Cells over a time period of 39 days. We compared then the expression profiles of these induced Schwann Cells to primary Schwann cells. The gene expression results analyzed in this study are further described in Thoma et al. (2014) Chemical conversion of human fibroblasts into functional Schwann cells. Under submission

Schwann cell condition medium MS

Project description:The effects of Schwann cells on the neuro-stroma niche in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) remain to be explored. Here, single-cell RNA-sequencing and spatial transcriptome analysis of PDAC tissues reveals that Schwann cells induce malignant subtypes of tumour cells and cancer-associated fibroblasts. Mass Spectrometry (MS) were performed to detected the potential functional factors secreted by Schwann cells.

Direct Conversion of Mouse Fibroblasts into Neural Stem Cells by Chemical Cocktail Requires Stepwise Activation of Growth Factors and Nup210

Project description:Neural stem cells (NSCs) are valuable for both basic research and clinical application. We previously reported a chemical cocktail that could reprogram somatic cells into neural progenitor cells. However, the process of chemical induction is complex and the underlying mechanism remains largely elusive. Here, we identified a new culture condition that greatly promotes the efficiency of NSC generation directly from mouse fibroblasts based on our reported chemical cocktail. Transcriptome and epigenome analyses during the reprogramming process demonstrated that growth factors including IL6, FGF5 and LIF were dynamically activated and contributed to the chemical cocktail induced cell fate changes. Interestingly, fibroblast-to-NSC conversion requires the synergistic action of these growth factors. Moreover, the reprogramming capacity of both chemical cocktail and growth factors require nucleoporin Nup210 to activate endogenous neural transcription factors SoxB1 family to initiate NSC fate. Our study not only provides a novel protocol to generate NSC directly from mouse fibroblasts, but also reveals an important role of growth factors in chemical-induced cellular reprogramming.

Mouse sciatic nerve LC-MSMS - Delaying histone deacetylase response to injury accelerates conversion into repair Schwann cells and nerve regeneration

Project description:The peripheral nervous system (PNS) regenerates after injury. However regeneration is often compromised in case of large lesions, the speed of axon reconnection to their target being critical for successful functional recovery. After injury, mature Schwann cells (SCs) convert into repair cells that foster axonal regrowth, and redifferentiate to rebuild myelin. These processes require the regulation of several transcription factors, but the driving mechanisms remain partially understood. Here, we identify an early response to injury controlled by histone deacetylase (HDAC)2, which coordinates the action of other chromatin-remodeling enzymes to induce the upregulation of Oct6, a key transcription factor for Schwann cell development. Inactivating this mechanism using mouse genetics allows earlier conversion into repair cells and leads to faster axonal regrowth, but impairs remyelination. Consistently, short-term HDAC1/2 inhibitor treatment early after lesion accelerates functional recovery and enhances regeneration, thereby identifying a new therapeutic strategy to improve PNS regeneration after lesion.

A single cell-based computational platform to identify chemical compounds targeting desired sets of transcription factors for cellular conversion [Bulk RNA-seq]

Project description:Cellular conversion can be induced by perturbing a handful of key transcription factors (TFs). Replacement of direct manipulation of key TFs with chemical compounds offers a less laborious and safer strategy to drive cellular conversion for regenerative medicine. Nevertheless, identifying optimal chemical compounds currently requires large-scale screening of chemical libraries, which is resource-intensive. Existing computational methods aim at predicting cell conversion TFs, however there are no methods for identifying chemical compounds targeting these TFs. Here, we develop a single cell-based platform (SiPer) to systematically prioritize chemical compounds targeting desired TFs to guide cellular conversions. SiPer integrates a large compendium of chemical perturbations on non-cancer cells with a network model, and predicted known and novel chemical compounds in diverse cell conversion examples. Importantly, we applied SiPer to develop a highly efficient protocol for human hepatic maturation. Overall, SiPer provides a valuable resource to efficiently identify chemical compounds for cell conversion.

A single cell-based computational platform to identify chemical compounds targeting desired sets of transcription factors for cellular conversion [Single-cell RNA-seq]

Project description:Conversion of cellular identity can be achieved safely, without genetic manipulation, by inducing signalling perturbations with chemical compounds to target cell fate-governing transcription factors (TFs). However, chemical-induced cellular conversion currently requires large-scale screening of small compounds, which is time- and labour-intensive. There are no existing computational approaches that facilitate chemical conversion of cell fate. Here, we develop a computational framework (SiPer) to systematically predict chemical compounds specifically targeting desired sets of TFs to direct cellular conversion. This framework integrates a large compendium of chemical perturbation datasets with a network model. We show that SiPer is generally applicable to diverse cellular conversion examples, recapitulating the known chemical compounds and their corresponding protein targets. Furthermore, using chemical compounds predicted by SiPer, we develop a highly efficient protocol for the generation of functional human induced hepatocytes (hiHeps). These results demonstrate that SiPer provides a valuable resource to efficiently identify chemical compounds for cellular conversion.

Direct conversion of normal and patient human fibroblasts into neuronal cells

Project description:Neuronal conversion from human fibroblasts can be induced by lineage-specific transcription factors, holding great promise for human neurological disease modeling and regenerative medicine. However, the introduction of ectopic genes limits their therapeutic applications. Here, we report that neuronal cells could be directly induced from human fibroblasts by a chemical cocktail of seven small molecules bypassing neural progenitor stage. These chemical-induced neuronal cells (hciN cells) resembled hES-derived neurons regarding morphology, gene expression profiles, and electrophysiological properties. Our further experiments show that hciN cells were able to develop into mature neurons in vivo in embryonic mouse brain. Moreover, this approach was further applied to induce hciN cells from fibroblasts of familial Alzheimer’s disease patients and the hciN cells showed abnormal A? production. Together, we established a transgene-free chemical approach to directly induce neuronal cells from human fibroblasts, thus providing alternative strategies for modeling of related neurological diseases and regenerative medicine. We used microarray to comparethe global gene expression patterns of hES-derived neurons (control neurons), HAFs, pre-hciN cells (VCRFSGY-treated HAFs at day 3 and 7) and hciN cells (induced with VCRFSGY for 14 days) hciNs RNA samples were selected at different time points, i.e. pre-hciN cells (VCRFSGY-treated HAFs at day 3 and 7) and hciN cells (induced with VCRFSGY for 14 days), to study molecular mechanism and marker gene expression happened at the early stage of chemical induction by compared with hES-neurons (positve control) and HAFs (negtive control).

Direct reprogramming of mouse fibroblasts into cardiomyocytes with chemical cocktails

Project description:The direct conversion, or trans-differentiation, of non-cardiac cells into cardiomyocytes by forced expression of transcription factors and microRNAs provide promising ways of cardiac regeneration. However, genetic manipulations are still not desirable in real clinical applications. we report the generation of automatically beating cardiomyocyte-like cells from mouse fibroblasts with only chemical cocktails. These chemical-induced cardiomyocyte-like cells (CiCMs) express cardiomyocyte-specific markers, exhibit sarcomeric organization, and possess typical cardiac calcium flux and electrophysiological features. Microarray-bassed gene expression patterns of Mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs), CiCMs, and cardiomyocytes(CMs) indicated a clear transition from dividing MEFs to differentiated cardiomyocyte-like state in CiCM samples. Mouse embryonic fibroblasts were treated with a small-molecule combination CRFVPT (10 μM CHIR99021 (C); 10 μM RepSox (R); 50 μM Forskolin (F); 0.5 mM VPA (V); 5 μM Parnate, (P); 1 μM TTNPB (T)) to induce transdifferentiation to chemical-induced cardiomyocyte-like cells. CiCMs beating clusters were picked at day 24 for analysis. MEFs were isolated from mouse embryos, and CMs were isolated from mouse hearts. Total RNA of MEFs, CiCMs and CMs were extracted and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays.
