Project description:Pluripotent stem cells (PSC) can differentiate inot any cell type of an organism. Their remarkable capability of self-organization enables the formation of three-dimensional structures that resembles miniature organs, including cerebral organoids. These organoids can recreate early steps of the human cerebral cortex development, and show great potential for modeling human diseases, particularly for those with a developmental component. This data evidences stem cell-derived cerebral organoids as a key model to study brain development and neurodevelopmental, neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric diseases.

Project description:Differentiation and specialisation of epithelial cells in the small intestine is regulated in two ways. First, there is differentiation along the crypt-villus axis of the intestinal stem cells into absorptive enterocytes, Paneth, goblet, tuft, enteroendocrine or M-cells, which is mainly regulated by WNT. Second, there is specialization along the cephalocaudal axis with different absorptive and digestive functions in duodenum, jejunum and ileum that is controlled by several transcription factors such as GATA4. However, so far it is unknown whether location-specific functional properties are intrinsically programmed within stem cells or if continuous signalling from mesenchymal cells is necessary to maintain the location-specific identity of the small intestine. By using the pure epithelial organoid technique, we show that region-specific gene expression profiles are conserved throughout long-term cultures of both mouse and human intestinal stem cells and correlated with differential Gata4 expression. Furthermore, the human organoid culture system demonstrates that Gata4-regulated gene expression is only allowed in absence of WNT signalling. These data show that location-specific function is intrinsically programmed in the adult stem cells of the small intestine and that their differentiation fate is independent of location-specific extracellular signals. In light of the potential future clinical application of small intestine-derived organoids, our data imply that it is important to generate GATA4-positive and GATA4-negative cultures to regenerate all essential functions of the small intestine.

Project description:For years, the term apoptosis was used synonymously for programmed cell death. However, it was recently discovered that programmed necrosis M-bM-^@M-^S dependent on the kinases Receptor-Interacting-Protein-Kinase (RIP)1 and RIP3 (also called necroptosis) M-bM-^@M-^S represents a major programmed cell-death pathway in development and immunity. At present, the functions of necroptosis in hepatitis, liver cancer development and biliary disease are unclear. Here we show that in mice with chronic hepatitis due to conditional ablation of TGF-beta-activated kinase1 (TAK1) in liver parenchymal cells (LPC), both apoptotic and necroptotic signaling pathways are activated. Strikingly, only Caspase-8-dependent apoptosis promotes spontaneous liver cancer development, while in contrast LPC necroptosis inhibits hepatic tumourigenesis. The tumour-promoting effect of apoptosis results from an induction of strong compensatory proliferation of LPC, linked with the paracrine action of growth factors like Insulin-like growth factor-2 (IGF-2) not induced by necroptosis. In addition to prevention of HCC development, induction of necroptosis leads to massive cholestasis and hyperbilirubinemia, resulting from an insufficient ductular reaction and biliary regeneration from the hepatic stem cell niche as a response to chronic hepatitis. These results indicate previously undefined distinctive functions of apoptosis and programmed necrosis in controlling cancer development and cholestasis in the liver with important implications for future therapeutic strategies in chronic liver disease. 8 samples were analysed. We compared groups of 4 Tak1/Caspase8 LPC double knockout mice and 4 Tak1 LPC-KO/Rip3-/- mice to detect genes differentially regulated by apoptotic and necrotic signalling pathways.

Project description:Recent advances in three dimensional (3D) culture systems have led to the generation of brain organoids that share resemblance to different parts of the human brains; however, a 3D organoid model of the midbrain that contains functional midbrain dopaminergic (mDA) neurons has not been reported. In this study, we develop a method to differentiate human PSCs into a large multicellular organoid-like structure that contains distinct layers of neuronal cells with a transcriptomic profile that resembles human prenatal midbrain. Importantly, we detected electrically active and functionally mature mDA neurons, and dopamine production in our 3D midbrain-like organoids (MLOs). In contrast to human mDA neurons generated using non-3D methods or in the MLOs generated from mouse embryonic stem cells, our human MLOs uniquely produced neuromelanin-like granules that were structurally similar to those isolated from human substantia nigra tissues. Thus our MLOs bearing features of the human midbrain may provide a novel tractable in vitro system to study the human midbrain and its related diseases.

Project description:The development and progression of endometriotic lesions are poorly understood, but immune cell dysfunction and inflammation are closely associated with the pathophysiology of endometriosis. A lack of suitable 3D in vitro models permitting the study of interactions between cell types and the microenvironment is a contributing factor. To address this limitation, we developed endometriotic organoids (EO) to explore the role of epithelial-stromal interactions and model peritoneal cell invasion associated with lesion development (GSE202661). These organoids were compared to spontaneous endometriotic lesions from baboons (Papio anubis).

Project description:Tuberous Sclerosis Complex (TSC), an autosomal dominant condition, is engendered by heterozygous mutations in either TSC1 or TSC2 genes, manifesting in systemic growth of benign tumors. In addition to brain lesions, neurologic sequelae represent the greatest morbidity in TSC patients. Investigations utilizing TSC1/2-knockout animal or human stem cell models suggest that TSC deficiency-causing hyper-activation of mTOR signaling might precipitate anomalous neurodevelopmental processes. However, how the pathogenic variants of TSC1/2 genes identified in TSC patients affect the trajectory of human brain development and how they contribute to the neurological manifestations in TSC remain largely unexplored. Here, we employed 3-dimensional cortical organoids derived from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) from TSC patients harboring TSC2 mutations, alongside organoids from age- and sex-matched healthy individuals as controls. Through comprehensively longitudinal molecular and cellular analysis of TSC organoids, including transcriptomics and single cell transcriptomics, we found that TSC2 pathogenic variants led to dysregulated neurogenesis, synaptogenesis, and gliogenesis, particularly for reactive astrogliosis. The altered developmental trajectory of TSC organoids significantly resembles the molecular signatures of neuropsychiatric disorders, including autism spectrum disorders, epilepsy, and intellectual disability. Through cell-cell communication analysis at the single cell level, we identified that TSC2 pathogenic variants disrupted the cell-cell communications, in particular, neuron-astrocyte interactions within the NLGN-NRXN signaling network. Furthermore, cellular and electrophysiological assessments of TSC cortical organoids, along with proteomics and phosphoproteomics analyses of synaptosomes, revealed that pathogenic TSC2 variants precipitate perturbations in mitochondrial translational integrity, neurofilament formation, synaptic transmission, and neuronal network activity. Intriguingly, the increased neu
