Gene expression analysis of midbrain dopamine progenitors in embryonic mouse

ABSTRACT: To improve the standardization of cell therapies for Parkinson’s disease, methods for the selection and isolation of midbrain dopaminergic progenitors for transplantation are required. To facilitate this we established an expression profile for genes selectively expressed on transplantable midbrain dopaminergic progenitors using microarray analysis. Expression of GFP in the ventral mesencephalon of embryonic E12.5 Ngn2-GFP mice identifies a distinct sub-population of cells containing virtually all of the midbrain dopaminergic progenitors. Gene expression profiles from 3 biological replicates of FACS isolated GFP-positive cells from mouse Ngn2-GFP ventral mesencephalon were generated using microarrays. To reduce the likelihood of identifying transcripts from non-dopaminergic progenitors, 3 biological replicates of FACS isolated GFP-negative cells from mouse Lmx1a-GFP ventral mesencephalon (definitively non-dopaminergic) were used as a reference population.

Enrichment, proteome analysis and transplantation of human embryonic stem cell derived dopaminergic progenitors expressing LMX1a

Project description:Despite the progress in safety and efficacy of cell therapy with pluripotent stem cells (PSCs), the presence of residual undifferentiated stem cells or proliferating neural progenitor cells (NPCs) with rostral identity has remained a major challenge. Here we reported the generation of an LMX1A knock-in GFP reporter human embryonic stem cell (hESC) line that marks the early dopaminergic progenitors during neural differentiation. Purified GFP positive cells in vitro exhibited expression of mRNA and proteins that characterized and matched the midbrain dopaminergic identity. Further proteomic analysis of enriched LMX1A+ cells identified several membrane associated proteins including CNTN2, enabling prospective isolation of LMX1A+ progenitor cells. Transplantation of hPSC-derived purified CNTN2+ progenitors enhanced dopamine release from transplanted cells in the host brain and alleviated Parkinson’s disease symptoms in animal models. Our study establishes an efficient approach for purification of large numbers of hPSC-derived dopaminergic progenitors for therapeutic applications.

Dickkopf 3 Promotes the Differentiation of Substantia Nigra Dopaminergic Neurons In Vivo and from Pluripotent Stem Cells In Vitro

Project description:WNT1/beta-catenin signaling plays a crucial role in the generation of mesodiencephalic dopaminergic (mdDA) neurons including the Substantia nigra pars compacta (SNc) subpopulation, whose degeneration is a hallmark of Parkinson’s Disease (PD). However, the precise functions of WNT/beta-catenin signaling in this context remain unknown. Using mutant mice, primary ventral midbrain (VM) cells and pluripotent stem cells (mouse embryonic stem cells and induced pluripotent stem cells), we show that Dickkopf 3 (DKK3), a secreted glycoprotein that modulates WNT/beta-catenin signaling, is specifically required for the correct differentiation of a rostrolateral mdDA precursor subset into SNc DA neurons. Dkk3 transcription in the murine VM coincides with the onset of mdDA neurogenesis and is required for the maintenance of LMX1A and consequently PITX3 expression in rostrolateral mdDA precursors, without affecting the proliferation or specification of their progenitors. Treatment of primary VM cells or differentiating pluripotent stem cells with recombinant WNT1 and/or DKK3 proteins consistently increases the proportion of mdDA cells with SNc DA neuron identity and promotes their survival in vitro. The SNc DA pro-differentiation and pro-survival properties of DKK3, together with its known anti-tumorigenic effect, therefore make it an ideal candidate for the improvement of regenerative and neuroprotective strategies in the treatment of PD. We performed gene expression microarray analysis on iPSC-derived and FACS-sorted GFP-positive Pitx3GFP/+ mdDA neurons, differentiated in the presence or absence of recombinant human WNT1 and recombinant human DKK3. In addition, we analysed primary and FACS-sorted GFP-positive Pitx3+/GFP mdDA neurons isolated from the E13.5 and E14.5 ventral midbrain of Pitx3+/GFP embryos

Isolation of human iPSC-derived dopaminergic progenitors by cell sorting

Project description:Human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) can provide a promising source of midbrain dopaminergic (DA) neurons for cell replacement therapy for Parkinson’s disease. However, iPSC-derived donor cells may inevitably contain tumorigenic or inappropriate cells. Purification of neural progenitor cells or DA neurons as suitable donor cells has been attempted, but the isolation of DA progenitor cells derived from human pluripotent stem cells has so far been unsuccessful. Here we show human iPSC-derived DA progenitor cells can be efficiently isolated by cell sorting using a floor plate marker, Corin. we were able to develop a method for 1) scalable DA neuron induction on human laminin fragment and 2) sorting DA progenitor cells using an anti-Corin antibody. Furthermore, we determined the optimal timing for the cell sorting and transplantation. The grafted cells survived well and functioned as midbrain DA neurons in the 6-OHDA-lesioned rats, and showed minimal risk of tumor formation. The sorting of Corin-positive cells is favorable in terms of both safety and efficiency, and our protocol will contribute to the clinical application of human iPSCs for Parkinson’s disease. Differentiated human iPSC-derived neural progenitors just after sorting (day12 unsorted, day12 Corin+) and dopaminergic progenitors after an aggregation culture (day28 and day42, unsorted and day12-sorted, respectively), and human fetal ventral mesencephalon and dorsal mesencephalon (gestational age of 7.5 weeks) were subjected to RNA extraction and hybrdization on Affymetrix microarrays. Each sample except for human mesencephalon, undifferentiated iPSC, and day12-unsorted, day42-sample has 3 or 4 repeats.

Transcriptome analysis of human immortilized astrocytes reprogrammed into dopaminergic neurons

Project description:We directly reprogram human astrocytes (hIA) in vitro into induced dopaminergic neurons (iDAs). This process requires three transcription factors, NEUROD1, ASCL1 and LMX1A as well as one microRNA, mir218. This combined protocol gives rise to human astrocyte-derived iDAs with appropriate midbrain markers as defined by analyzing markers derived from human embryonic ventral midbrain samples at 7 and 9 weeks of age.

Purification of functional human ES/iPSC-derived midbrain dopaminergic progenitors using LRTM1

Project description:Human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) can provide a promising source of midbrain dopaminergic (mDA) neurons for cell replacement therapy for Parkinson's disease (PD). However, iPSC-derived donor cells inevitably contain tumorigenic or inappropriate cells. To eliminate these unwanted cells, cell sorting using antibodies for specific markers such as CORIN or ALCAM have been developed, but neither marker is specific for ventral midbrain. Here, we employed a double-selection strategy for cells expressing both CORIN and LMX1A::GFP and report a novel cell surface marker to enrich mDA progenitors, LRTM1. When transplanted into 6-OHDA-lesioned rats, human iPSC-derived LRTM1+ cells survived and differentiated into mDA neurons in vivo, resulting in significant improvement in motor behavior without tumor formation. In addition, LRTM1+ cells exhibited efficient survival of mDA neurons in the brain of an MPTP-treated monkey. Thus, LRTM1 can provide a powerful tool for efficient and safe cell therapy for PD patients.

EH004: Lmx1a encodes a rostral set of mesodiencephalic dopaminergic neurons marked by the Wnt/b-catenin signaling activator Rspo2

Project description:Recent developments in molecular programming of mesodiencephalic dopaminergic (mdDA) neurons have led to the identification of many transcription factors playing a role in mdDA specification. LIM homeodomain transcription factor Lmx1a is essential for chick mdDA development, and for the efficient differentiation of ES-cells towards a dopaminergic phenotype. In this study, we aimed towards a more detailed understanding of the subtle phenotype in Lmx1a-dr/dr mice. Therefore, microarray analysis was performed, to elucidate the exact molecular programming underlying the neuronal deficits after loss of Lmx1a. Subsequent expression analysis confirmed that Nurr1 is regulated by Lmx1a, and additional downstream targets were identified, like Pou4f1, Pbx1, Pitx2, C130021l20Rik, Calb2 and Rspo2. In line with a specific, rostral-lateral loss of expression of most of these genes during development, Nurr1 and C130021l20Rik were affected in the SNc of the mature mdDA system. Interestingly, this deficit was marked by the complete loss of the Wnt/b-catenin signaling activator Rspo2 in this domain. Expression analysis in Rspo2-/- embryos revealed affected mdDA neurons, partially phenocopying the Lmx1a mutant. Together, in this study we reveal that Lmx1a is essential for a rostral-lateral subset of the mdDA neuronal field, where it might serve a critical function in modulating proliferation and differentiation of mdDA progenitors through the activation of the Wnt activator Rspo2. Microarray expression study comparing 4 samples of homozygous LMX1A dr/dr mice, midbrain E12.5 with a pooled sample of their wt/wt littermates. Two samples were analyzed in opposite dye orientation.

Single-cell transcriptomics and in vitro lineage tracing reveals differential susceptibility of human iPSC-derived midbrain dopaminergic neurons in a cellular model of Parkinson’s disease.

Project description:Advances in stem cell technologies open up new avenues for modelling development and diseases. The success of these pursuits however rely on the use of cells most relevant to those targeted by the disease of interest, for example, midbrain dopaminergic neurons for Parkinson’s disease. In the present study, we report the generation of a human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) line capable of purifying and tracing nascent midbrain dopaminergic progenitors and their differentiated progeny via the expression of a Blue Fluorescent Protein (BFP). This was achieved by CRISPR/Cas9 assisted knock-in of BFP and Cre into the safe harbour locus AAVS1 and an early midbrain dopaminergic lineage marker gene LMX1A, respectively. Immunocytochemical analysis and single cell RNA sequencing of iPSC-derived neural cultures confirms developmental recapitulation of the human fetal midbrain and high quality midbrain cells. By modelling Parkinson’s disease-related drug toxicity using 1-Methyl-4-phenylpyridinium (MPP+), we showed preferential reduction of BFP+ cells, a finding demonstrated independently by cell death assays and single cell transcriptomic analysis of MPP+ treated neural cultures. Together, these results highlight the importance of disease relevant cell type in stem cell modelling.
