Differentiating human embryonic stem cells into corneal epithelial-like cells

ABSTRACT: Transplantation of ex vivo expanded limbal stem cells (LSC) is the main treatment for limbal stem cell deficiency though the clinical problem of donor tissues shortage. Recently, as the development of tissue engineering, embryonic stem cells (ESC) derived corneal epithelial-like cells (ESC-CEC) has become a new direction to this issue.Our group successfully induced ESC into corneal epithelial-like cells, and in the present study we explored various aspects of physiological properties of ESC-CEC. The experiment included three samples: hES, the human embryonic stem cell line H1, RA_SB, the corneal epithelial-like cells derived from hES by differentiation with RA and SB, epithelial_cell, the primary human limbal stem cells from cadaver eyes. hES, the human embryonic stem cell line H1, RA_SB, the corneal epithelial-like cells derived from hES by differentiation with RA and SB, epithelial_cell, the primary human limbal stem cells from cadaver eyes.

The single-cell transcriptomic atlas and RORA-mediated 3D epigenomic remodeling in driving corneal epithelial differentiation [Promoter capture Hi-C]

Project description:Proper differentiation of corneal epithelial cells (CECs) from limbal stem/progenitor cells (LSCs) is required for maintaining ocular homeostasis and clear vision. Here, using a single-cell transcriptomic atlas, we delineate the comprehensive and refined molecular regulatory dynamics during human CEC development and differentiation. We find that RORA is a CEC-specific molecular switch that initiates and drives LSCs to differentiate into mature CECs by activating PITX1. RORA dictates CEC differentiation by establishing CEC-specific enhancers and chromatin interactions between CEC gene promoters and distal regulatory elements. Conversely, RORA silences LSC-specific promoters and disrupts promoter-anchored chromatin loops to turn off LSC genes. Collectively, our work provides detailed and comprehensive insights into the transcriptional dynamics and RORA-mediated epigenetic remodeling underlying human corneal epithelial differentiation.

Rabbit limbal epithelial side population (SP) cells and non-SP cells

Project description:Corneal epithelial stem cells reside in the limbus that is the transitional zone between the cornea and conjunctiva, and are essential to maintain the homeostasis of corneal epithelium. However, their characterization is poorly understood. Therefore, we constructed gene expression profiles of limbal epithelial SP and non-SP cell using RNA-sequencing. As a result, limbal epithelial SP cells have immature cell phenotypes with endothelial/mesenchymal cell markers, while limbal epithelial non-SP cells have epithelial progenitor cell markers.

Single-cell RNA transcriptome helps define the limbal/corneal epithelial stem/early transit amplifying cells and how autophagy affects this population in cornea

Project description:Purpose: Single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) was used to interrogate the relatively rare stem (SC) and early transit amplifying (TA) cell populations in limbal/corneal epithelia from wild-type and autophagy-compromised mice. Results: Unbiased clustering detected 10 distinct populations: three clusters of mesenchymal and seven clusters of epithelial cells, based on their unique molecular signatures. A discrete group of mesenchymal cells expressed genes associated with corneal stromal SCs. We identified three limbal/corneal epithelial cell subpopulations designated as stem/early TA, mature TA, and differentiated corneal epithelial cells. Thioredoxin-interacting protein and PDZ-binding kinase (PBK) were identified as novel regulators of stem/early TA cell quiescence. PBK arrested corneal epithelial cells in G2/M phase of the cell cycle. Beclin1+/− mice displayed a decrease in proliferation-associated (Ki67, Lrig1) and stress-response (H2ax) genes. The most increased gene in beclin1+/− mice was transcription factor ATF3, which negatively regulates limbal epithelial cell proliferation. Conclusions: Establishment of a comprehensive atlas of genes expressed by stromal and epithelial cells from limbus and cornea forms the foundation for unraveling regulatory networks among these distinct tissues. Similarly, scRNA-seq profiling of the anterior segmental epithelia from wild-type and autophagy-deficient mice provides new insights into how autophagy influences proliferation in these tissues.

Multi-omics analysis identifies coordination and hierarchy of transcription factors controlling specific epithelial cell fates in corneal epithelium [Bulk RNA-seq]

Project description:The homeostasis of the transparent corneal epithelium in the eye is maintained by the proliferation and differentiation of limbal stem cells that possess the proper cell fate. A potential disease mechanism underlying corneal opacity has been proposed to be limbal stem cells acquiring the cell fate of keratinocytes in the non-transparent epidermis. In this study, we performed a multi-omics analysis of human limbal stem cells derived from the cornea and keratinocytes from the epidermal stratum basale and characterized the similar yet distinct molecular signatures of these cells. By gene regulatory network analysis, we identified cell fate defining transcription factors and their regulatory hierarchy that are shared by the two cell types and those that regulate specific epithelial programs. Our findings indicate that shared transcription factors often regulate limbal stem cell-specific transcription factors. Single-cell RNA-seq analysis of the cornea and the epidermis confirms the shared and specific transcription factor expression patterns in the stem cells of these tissues. Finally, we showed that genes associated with corneal opacity can cooperatively be targeted by the shared and limbal stem cell-specific transcription factors. By characterizing molecular signatures, our study uncovers the distinct regulatory circuitry controlling limbal stem cell fates and corneal opacity.

Directed differentiation of human embryonic stem cells to corneal endothelial cell-like cells: A transcriptomic analysis

Project description:The corneal endothelium is composed of a monolayer of corneal endothelial cells (CECs), which is essential for maintaining corneal transparency. Human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) hold the promise of providing an abundant donor source for generating CEC cells for cell replacement therapies. Here we demonstrate that CEC-like cells can be efficiently derived from human ESCs. In addition, we performed global gene expression profiling of stem-cell-derived CEC cells, incorporating with adult CEC cells, fetal CEC cells and other human tissue type data. Our data indicate that hESC-derived CEC-like cells closely resemble human fetal CEC cells.
