Fibrin Hydrogels Induce Mixed Dorsal/Ventral Spinal Neuron Identities During Differentiation of Human Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells

ABSTRACT: We hypothesized that generating spinal motor neurons (sMNs) from human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC)-derived neural aggregates (NAs) using a chemically-defined differentiation protocol would be more effective inside of 3D fibrin hydrogels compared to 2D poly-L-ornithine(PLO)/laminin-coated tissue culture plastic surfaces. We performed targeted RNA-Seq using next generation sequencing to determine the substrate-specific differences in gene expression that regulate cell phenotype. Cells cultured on both substrates expressed sMN genes CHAT and MNX1, though persistent WNT signaling contributed to a higher expression of genes associated with interneurons in NAs cultured in 3D fibrin scaffolds. Cells in fibrin also expressed lower levels of astrocyte progenitor genes and higher levels of the neuronal-specific gene TUBB3, suggesting a purer population of neurons compared to 2D cultures. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Fibrin scaffolds can support the neuronal differentiation of pluripotent stem cells. This study provides insight into how fibrin hydrogels affect neuronal induction by analyzing of the signaling pathways activated during the differentiation process. These insights can then be used to tailor the properties of these hydrogels to optimize the generation of sMNs for regenerative medicine applications.

Chicken fibroblast transcriptome in collagen and fibrin matrix

Project description:Collagen- and fibrin-based gels are extensively used to study cell behaviour. However, 2D-3D, collagen-fibrin, and in vivo-in vitro comparisons of gene expression, cell shape and mechanotransduction have not been reported. Here we compared chick tendon fibroblasts (CTFs) at three stages of embryonic development with CTFs cultured in collagen- or fibrin-based tissue engineered constructs (TECs).

Transcription profiling of human umblical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) undergoing tubulogenesis in a 3D fribrin matrix or cultured as monolayers

Project description:In order to determine genes that are differentially expressed during angiogenesis, Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells (HUVEC) were cultured as 3D cultures undergoing tubulogenesis in a 3D fibrin matrix, or cultured as monolayers on top of a 3D fibrin matrix. RNA was then collected, reverse transcribed to cDNA and hybridized to glass slide oligo arrays containing 19k human genes. Differentially expressed genes in HUVECs undergoing tubulogenesis were then determined by comparing 2D to 3D culture samples.

Differentiation of Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells towards Mesenchymal Stromal Cells is Hampered by Culture in 3D Hydrogels [RNA-Seq]

Project description:Directed differentiation of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) towards specific lineages remains a major challenge in regenerative medicine, while there is a growing perception that this process can be influenced by the three-dimensional environment. In this study, we investigated whether iPSCs can differentiate towards mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) when embedded into fibrin hydrogels to enable a one-step differentiation procedure within a scaffold. Differentiation of iPSCs on tissue culture plastic or on top of fibrin hydrogels resulted in a typical MSC-like phenotype. In contrast, iPSCs embedded into fibrin gel gave rise to much smaller cells with heterogeneous growth patterns, absence of fibronectin, faint expression of CD73 and CD105, and reduced differentiation potential towards osteogenic and adipogenic lineage. Transcriptomic analysis demonstrated that characteristic genes for MSCs and extracellular matrix were upregulated on flat substrates, whereas genes of neural development were upregulated in 3D culture. Furthermore, the 3D culture had major effects on DNA methylation profiles, particularly within genes for neuronal and cardiovascular development, while there was no evidence for epigenetic maturation towards MSCs. Taken together, iPSCs could be differentiated towards MSCs on tissue culture plastic or on a flat fibrin hydrogel. In contrast, the differentiation process was heterogeneous and not directed towards MSCs when iPSCs were embedded into the hydrogel.

Fibrin drives thromboinflammation and neuropathology in COVID-19 [NK_Fibrin_in_vitro]

Project description:Life-threatening thrombotic events and neurological symptoms are prevalent in COVID-19 and are persistent in patients with long COVID experiencing post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection1,2,3,4. Despite the clinical evidence1,5,6,7, the underlying mechanisms of coagulopathy in COVID-19 and its consequences in inflammation and neuropathology remain poorly understood and treatment options are insufficient. Fibrinogen, the central structural component of blood clots, is abundantly deposited in the lungs and brains of patients with COVID-19, correlates with disease severity and is a predictive biomarker for post-COVID-19 cognitive deficits1,5,8,9,10. Here we show that fibrin binds to the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein, forming proinflammatory blood clots that drive systemic thromboinflammation and neuropathology in COVID-19. Fibrin, acting through its inflammatory domain, is required for oxidative stress and macrophage activation in the lungs, whereas it suppresses natural killer cells, after SARS-CoV-2 infection. Fibrin promotes neuroinflammation and neuronal loss after infection, as well as innate immune activation in the brain and lungs independently of active infection. A monoclonal antibody targeting the inflammatory fibrin domain provides protection from microglial activation and neuronal injury, as well as from thromboinflammation in the lung after infection. Thus, fibrin drives inflammation and neuropathology in SARS-CoV-2 infection, and fibrin-targeting immunotherapy may represent a therapeutic intervention for patients with acute COVID-19 and long COVID.

A tissue-engineered mimic of the ovarian cancer microenvironment of increases cell proliferation and tumor growth.

Project description:Using tissue engineering technologies, we aimed to engineer the ovarian tumor microenvironment to study disease progression by combining biomimetic hydrogels with melt electrospun written scaffolds. 3D co-cultures were constructed by assembling ovarian cancer cell-laden hydrogels with mesothelial cell-layered scaffolds. 3D constructs were characterised by proliferation and transcriptomic analyses and applied to an intraperitoneal xenograft model. Increased cancer cell proliferation upon 3D co-cultures was validated using patient-derived cells and linked to greater tumor burden in vivo. Genome-wide microarray analysis identified IGFBP7, PTGS2, VEGFC and FGF2 as being upregulated in 3D co-cultures compared to 3D mono-cultures. Protein expression of these differentially regulated factors was confirmed by immunohistochemistry in xenograft and patient-derived tumor tissues and correlated with overall and progression-free survival. This pre-clinical cancer model harbors the complexity of the disease seen in patients and advances our understanding of the underlying cell biology and the contribution of the tumor microenvironment to cancer growth.

Fibrin promotes oxidative stress and neuronal loss in traumatic brain injury via innate immune activation

Project description:Traumatic brain injury (TBI) causes significant blood-brain barrier (BBB) breakdown, resulting in the extravasation of blood proteins into the brain. The impact of blood proteins, especially fibrinogen, on inflammation and neurodegeneration post-TBI is not fully understood, highlighting a critical gap in our comprehension of TBI pathology and its connection to innate immune activation. We combined vascular casting with 3D imaging of solvent-cleared organs (uDISCO) to study the spatial distribution of the blood coagulation protein fibrinogen in large, intact brain volumes and assessed the temporal regulation of the fibrin(ogen) deposition by immunohistochemistry in a murine model of TBI. Fibrin(ogen) deposition and innate immune cell markers were co-localized by immunohistochemistry in mouse and human brains after TBI. We assessed the role of fibrinogen in TBI using unbiased transcriptomics, flow cytometry and immunohistochemistry for innate immune and neuronal markers in Fggγ390–396A knock-in mice, which express a mutant fibrinogen that retains normal clotting function, but lacks the γ390–396 binding motif to CD11b/CD18 integrin receptor. We show that cerebral fibrinogen deposits were associated with activated innate immune cells in both human and murine TBI. Genetic elimination of fibrin-CD11b interaction reduced peripheral monocyte recruitment and the activation of inflammatory and reactive oxygen species (ROS) gene pathways in microglia and macrophages after TBI. Blockade of the fibrin-CD11b interaction was also protective from oxidative stress damage and cortical loss after TBI. These data suggest that fibrinogen is a regulator of innate immune activation and neurodegeneration in TBI. Abrogating post-injury neuroinflammation by selective blockade of fibrin’s inflammatory functions may have implications for long-term neurologic recovery following brain trauma.
