Project description:The composition of the matrix molecules is important in in vitro cell culture experiments of e.g. human cancer invasion and vessel formation. Currently, the mouse Engelbreth-Holm-Swarm (EHS) sarcoma -derived products, such as Matrigel®, are the most commonly used tumor microenvironment mimicking (TMEM) matrices for experimental studies. However, since Matrigel® is non-human in origin, its molecular composition does not accurately simulate human TMEM and we expect myogel to be more natural environment for human cancer cells. The environment may have crucial impact on cell behavior and gene expression. The gene expression of the cells growing on top of myogel compared to those growing on top of plastic were sought for potential differencies. 90 000 HSC-3 cells were cultured in 6-well plates (three replicates) with and without myogel coating. The RNA samples were pooled and the changes in gene expressions were analyzed.

Project description:ECM is the physicochemical support for the cells living in the tissue microenvironment. it is important to know the protein contents within the ECM that are critical for extra- and intracellular signaling, cell growth, migration, cell-cell/ECM interactions. The ECM gel derived from the Engelbreth-Holm-Swarm murine sarcoma (commonly known as Matrigel or lrECM) purchased from the Sigma Aldrich in the liquid concentration of 8-12 mg/ml (Lot # 064M4075V) was used for the LC-MS/MS analysis and to prepare the 3D scaffolds used for downstream experiments. The Matrigel mass spectrometry data will be used to compare with those of the decellularized mice mammary tissue ECM/DBT-TMS.

Project description:End-stage liver diseases are an increasing health burden and liver transplantations are currently the only curative treatment option. Due to a lack of donor livers, alternative treatments are urgently needed. Human liver organoids are very promising for regenerative medicine, however, organoids are currently cultured in Matrigel, which is extracted from the extracellular matrix of the Engelbreth-Holm-Swarm mouse sarcoma. Matrigel is poorly defined, suffers from high batch-to-batch variability and is of murine origin, which limits clinical application of organoids. Here, a novel hydrogel based on polyisocyanopeptides (PIC) and laminin-111 is described for human liver organoid culture. PIC is a synthetic hydrogel with thermodynamic properties, making it easy to handle and very attractive for clinical applications. Organoids in an optimized PIC hydrogel proliferate at rates comparable to Matrigel; proliferation rates are stiffness-dependent, with lower stiffnesses being optimal for organoid proliferation. Moreover, organoids can be efficiently differentiated towards hepatocyte-like cells with key liver functions. This proliferation and differentiation potential can be maintained over at least 16 passages. Our results indicate that PIC is a promising material for human liver organoid culture and has the potential to be used in a variety of clinical applications including cell therapy and tissue engineering.

Project description:Organoid technology has provided unique insights into human organ development, function, and diseases. Patient derived organoids are increasingly used for drug screening, modeling rare disorders, designing regenerative therapies, and understanding pathological changes associated with disease progression. However, the use of Matrigel to grow organoids represents a major challenge in the clinical translation of organoid technology. Matrigel is a poorly defined cocktail of extracellular matrix proteins and growth factors extracted from the Engelbreth Holm Swarm mouse tumor. The extracellular matrix is a major driver of multiple cellular processes and differs significantly between tissues as well as in healthy and diseases states of the same tissue. Therefore, we envisioned that extracellular matrix derived from a native healthy tissue would be sufficient to support organoid growth akin to organogenesis in vivo. Here, we have developed hydrogels from decellularized human and bovine endometrium. These hydrogels supported the growth of mouse and human endometrial organoids, which was comparable to Matrigel. Organoids grown in endometrial hydrogels were proteomically more similar to the native tissue than the organoids cultured in Matrigel. Proteomic and Raman spectroscopy analyses showed that the method of decellularization affects the biochemical composition of hydrogels and subsequently, their ability to support organoid growth. The amount of laminin in hydrogels correlated with the number and the shape of organoids. We also demonstrated the utility of endometrial hydrogels in developing solid scaffolds for supporting high throughput cell culture-based applications. In summary, endometrial hydrogels overcome a major limitation of organoid technology and greatly expand the applicability of organoids to understand endometrial biology and associated pathologies.

Project description:Three-dimensional (3D) organoid models have been instrumental in understanding molecular mechanisms responsible for many cellular processes and diseases. However, established organic biomaterial scaffolds used for 3D hydrogel cultures, such as Matrigel, are biochemically complex and display significant batch variability, limiting reproducibility in experiments. Recently, there has been significant progress in the development of synthetic hydrogels for in vitro cell culture that are reproducible, mechanically tuneable, and biocompatible. Self-assembling peptide hydrogels (SAPHs) are synthetic biomaterials that can be engineered to be compatible with 3D cell culture. Here we investigate the ability of PeptiGel® SAPHs to model mammary epithelial cell (MEC) microenvironment in vitro. The positively charged PeptiGel®Alpha4 supported MEC viability, but did not promote formation of polarised acini. Modifying the stiffness of PeptiGel®Alpha4 stimulated changes in MEC viability and changes in protein expression associated with altered MEC function, but did not fully recapitulate the morphologies of MECs grown in Matrigel. To supply the appropriate biochemical signals for MEC organoids, we supplemented PeptiGels® with laminin. Laminin was found to require negatively charged PetiGel®Alpha7 for functionality, but was then able to provide appropriate signals for correct MEC polarisation and expression of characteristic proteins. Thus, optimisation of SAPH composition and mechanics allows tuning to support tissue-specific organoids.

Project description:While memory T-cells (Tmem) represent a hallmark of adaptive immunity, and despite extensive characterization of CD8+ Tmem, little is known about regulation of CD4+ Tmem cell survival. In this study, we analyzed antigen-specific CD4+T cell memory populations in mice and human to characterize their unique genetic and surface phenotypes. First, using microarray technology, we studied dynamic gene expression of antigen specific CD4+ T cells during infection, memory differentiation, and survival up to nearly a year. In murine CD4+T cells, we observed reduced expression of genes that induce cell proliferation and increased expression of anti-apoptotic and pro-survival genes. Importantly, these genetic programs revealed multiple transmembrane markers enriched in the murine CD4+ Tmem population. We verified the ability of these markers to denote CD4+ Tmem populations using influenza vaccination, and observed enrichment of these surface markers in antigen-specific cells. Finally, we tested the ability of these markers to denote human memory CD4+ T cells. We found that their expression exclusively co-localized with existing human memory marker CD45R0, and that sorting of cells positive for these markers recovered more responding antigen-specific CD4+T cells than the general CD4+T cell population. In sum, this study presents unique gene signatures of long-lived murine CD4+ Tmem cells along with new surface markers some of which were validated in human. The new information can improve our assessment of CD4 memory T cells can be incorporated for novel therapeutics and vaccine design.

Project description:Wilson’s disease (WD) is a relevant human genetic disease caused by mutations in the ATP7B gene, whose product is a liver enzyme responsible for copper export into bile and blood. Interestingly, the spectrum of ATP7B mutations is vast and can influence clinical presentation (a variable spectrum of hepatic and neural manifestations), though the reason for this is not well understood. Here we describe the successful generation of iPSCs from a Chinese patient with Wilson’s disease that bears the R778L Chinese hotspot mutation in the ATP7B gene. Global gene expression profiling with DNA microarrays showed that WD iPSCs cluster together with human ESCs (H9) compared to donor fibroblasts. WD patient fibroblasts were isolated and expanded from a dermal biopsy of a middle age Chinese Han male, WD iPSCs were generated by overexpression of human Oct4/Sox2/Klf4/c-Myc in WD fibroblasts and expanded on Matrigel with mTESR1 culture medium. For DNA microarray analysis, WD fibroblasts (passage 5), 3 cell lines of WD iPSCs growing on Matrigel (passage 8) and human ES H9 growing on Matrigel (passage 40) were treated with Trizol, followed by RNA extraction and hybridization.

Project description:Matrigel®/BME®, a solubilized basement membrane-like preparation, is especially rich in the Extra-Cellular Matrix (ECM) protein laminin-111. This hydrogel supports the formation and long-term growth of epithelial 3D organoids from adult stem cells (ASC)1,2. Laminin111 activates integrin β1 complexes, thus preventing anoikis and driving epithelial polarization. Here, we address if a bacterial integrin-activating protein can mimic Matrigel/BME. Enteropathogenic Yersinia bacteria invade human gut epithelial cells using their outer membrane protein Invasin. This protein binds and activates a diversity of integrin β1 complexes, including the laminin111-specific α6β1 receptor. A recombinant 25 kDa C-terminal integrin-binding fragment of Invasin allowed adhesion of gut epithelial cells, when coated on culture plates. Upon addition of organoid growth factor medium, the epithelial cells grew out in 2D and could be expanded and passaged long-term. Polarization, junction formation and generation of various intestinal cell types (i.e. enterocytes, goblet cells, Paneth cells, and enteroendocrine cells) was stable over time. Sustained expansion of multiple other human-, mouse-, and even snake epithelia was accomplished under comparable conditions. The 2D culturing format holds advantages over the 3D ‘in gel’ format in terms of imaging, accessibility of basal and apical domains and automation for high throughput screening approaches. Invasin represents a fully defined, affordable, versatile, and animal-free complement to Matrigel/BME.
