Conversion of Human Gastric Epithelial Cells to Multipotent Endodermal Progenitors using Defined Small Molecules [DNA methylation]

ABSTRACT: Endodermal stem/progenitor cells have diverse potential applications in research and regenerative medicine, so a readily available source could have widespread uses. Here we describe derivation of human induced endodermal progenitor cells (hiEndoPCs) from gastrointestinal epithelial cells using a cocktail of defined small molecules along with support from tissue-specific mesenchymal feeders. The hiEndoPCs show clonal expansion in culture and give rise to hepatocytes, pancreatic endocrine cells, and intestinal epithelial cells when treated with defined soluble molecules directing differentiation. The hiEndoPC-derived hepatocytes are able to rescue liver failure in Fah-/-Rag2-/- mice after transplantation, and, unlike hESCs, transplanted hiEndoPCs do not give rise to teratomas. Since human gastric epithelial cells are readily available from donors of many ages, this conversion strategy can generate clonally expandable cell populations with a variety of potential applications, including personalized drug screening and therapeutic strategies for liver failure and diabetes.

Conversion of Human Somatic Cells to Multipotent Endoderm Stem Cells by Small Molecules [array]

Project description:Forced expression of transcription factors for lineage reprogramming brings hope to cell-based therapy. However, its application is hampered by risks of potential genetic aberrations and tumorigenicity. Using defined small molecules in presence of gastric stromal cells as feeders, we reprogramed human gastric epithelia into induced multipotent endodermal progenitors (hiMEPs) with efficiency of up-to-6%. The hiMEPs expressed genes relative to endodermal lineages but not associating with pluripotency, and could be expanded clonogenically remaining as undifferentiated colonies. Upon induction, hiMEPs were able to give rise to multiple functional endodermal cell types, apart from ectodermal or mesodermal lineages. TGFÎ² inhibition and particular Wnt signaling activation were crucial in reprogramming process. Collective advantages of availability from donors without age restriction, capabilities in expansion and differentiation, and no concern of tumorigenesis, let hiMEPs have the considerable application potentials on cell therapies of diseases such as liver failure and diabetes, as well as personalized drug-screenings. Human gastric epithelial cells (hGECs) and gastric subepithelial myofibroblasts (GSEMFs) are isolated from human stomach, and human duodenum epithelial cells (hDECs) are isolated from human duodenum. Human Induced multipotent endodermal stem cells (hiMESCs) were reprogrammed from hGECs/hDECs by small molecules with the support of GSEMFs. Definitive endoderm cells (DEs) are derived from human embryonic stem cells by differentiation. Totally, 13 samples including two samples of hDECs, one sample of hGECs, two clones of D-hiMESCs, one clone of G-hiMESCs, four samples of DEs and three samples of GSCs were analyzed using microarray.

The hiMEP-Heps were differentiated from hiMEPs under hepatic differentiation protocol. Fetal-Heps were isolated from aborted fetal liver. We used RNA sequencing and DNA methylation analysis to detail the global gene expression profile of GECs, hiMEPs, hiMEP-Heps and Fetal-Heps to delineate the difference of these cells.

Gene expression data from fetal human liver cells

Project description:Understanding the biological potential of fetal stem/progenitor cells will help define mechanisms in liver development and homeostasis. We isolated epithelial fetal human liver cells and established phenotype-specific changes in gene expression during continuous culture conditions. Fetal human liver epithelial cells displayed stem cell properties with multilineage gene expression, extensive proliferation and generation of mesenchymal lineage cells, although the initial epithelial phenotype was rapidly supplanted by meso-endodermal phenotype in culture. This meso-endodermal phenotype was genetically regulated through cytokine signaling, including transforming growth factor-b, bone morphogenetic protein, fibroblast growth factors, and other signaling pathways. Reactivation of HNF-3a (FOXA1) transcription factor, a driver of hepatic specification in the primitive endoderm, indicated that the meso-endodermal phenotype represented an earlier developmental stage of cells. We found that fetal liver epithelial cells formed mature hepatocytes in vivo, including after genetic manipulation using lentiviral vectors, offering convenient assays for analysis of further cell differentiation and fate. Taken together, these studies demonstrated plasticity in fetal liver epithelial stem/progenitor cells, offered paradigms for defining mechanisms regulating lineage switching in stem/progenitor cells, and provided potential avenues for regulating cell phenotypes for applications of stem/progenitor cells, such as for cell therapy. Gene expression was analyzed

Human hepatocyte metaplasia in injured humanized mouse livers

Project description:The goal of this experiment was to test whether human hepatocytes could give rise to biliary-like progenitor cells in an in vivo context. Here Fah-/- Il2ry-/- Rag2-/-NOD mouse livers were humanized with human hepatocytes. Only hepatocytes engraft in the Fah-/- mouse at detectable levels in this model. Then animals were given chronic liver injury with 0.1% ddc. After injury we measured human-specific transcripts to determine whether the phenotype of the human cells had changed. Specifically, we evaluated the relative levels of human biliary duct markers such as Spp1, Sox9, Krt7, etc. and hepatocyte markers such as Alb, Ttr, Fah, etc. 3 DDC treated chimeras and 6 untreated chimeras are included. Additional controls include a normal human liver biopsy, FACS sorted primary intrahepatic human bile duct cells, mouse hepatocytes, and mouse intrahepatic biliary cells in ddc treated animal.

Bone marrow-derived monocytes give rise to self-renewing and fully differentiated Kupffer cells

Project description:Self-renewing tissue-resident macrophages are thought to be exclusively derived from embryonic progenitors. However, whether circulating monocytes can also give rise to such macrophages has not been formally investigated. Here we use a new model of diphtheria toxin-mediated depletion of liver-resident Kupffer cells to generate niche availability and show that circulating monocytes engrafted in the liver, gradually adopt the transcriptional profile of their depleted counterparts and become long-lived self-renewing cells. Underlining the physiological relevance of our findings, circulating monocytes also contribute to the expanding pool of macrophages in the liver shortly after birth, when macrophage niches become available during normal organ growth. Thus, like embryonic precursors, monocytes can and do give rise to self-renewing tissue-resident macrophages if the niche is available to them.
