Differentiation of Inflammation-responsive Astrocytes from Glial Progenitors Generated from Human Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells

Project description:The goals of this study are to generate inflammation-sensitive astrocytes from human induced pluripotent stem cells. We examine the transcriptomic inflammatory signature of generated astrocytes following Il1Beta exposure. Primary human cerebellar astrocytes, human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSC)-derived neural precursor cells (NPCs) and hiPSC-derived astrocytes were treated with Il1beta and compared to vehicle treated controls. Results: hiPSC-derived can be differentiated to astrocytes that are inflammation sensitive.

Functional astrocytes differentiated from hiPSCs

Project description:Growing evidence implicates the importance of glia, particularly astrocytes, in neurological and psychiatric diseases. Here, we describe a rapid and robust method for the differentiation of highly pure populations of astrocytes from human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs), via a neural progenitor cell (NPC) intermediate. Using this method, we generated hiPSC-derived astrocyte populations (hiPSC-astrocytes) from 42 NPC lines (derived from 30 individuals) with an average of ~90% S100β-positive cells. Transcriptomic analysis demonstrated that the hiPSC-astrocytes are highly similar to primary human fetal astrocytes and characteristic of a non-reactive state. hiPSC-astrocytes respond to inflammatory stimulants, display phagocytic capacity and enhance microglial phagocytosis. hiPSC-astrocytes also possess spontaneous calcium transient activity. Our novel protocol is a reproducible, straightforward (single media) and rapid (<30 days) method to generate homogenous populations of hiPSC-astrocytes that can be used for neuron-astrocyte and microglia-astrocyte co-cultures for the study of neuropsychiatric disorders.

Proteomic signatures of schizophrenia-sourced iPSC-derived astrocytes

Project description:Schizophrenia is a complex and severe neuropsychiatric disorder, with a wide range of debilitating symptoms. Several aspects of its multifactorial complexity are still unknown, and some are accepted to be an early developmental deficiency with a more specifically neurodevelopmental origin. ??Molecular and functional abnormalities in astrocytes play a role in the etiology and pathogenesis of schizophrenia. In this study, human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSC)-derived astrocytes from schizophrenia patients were investigated regarding their proteome, inflammatory responses, and their secretome effect on vascularization. Proteomic analysis revealed alterations in proteins related to immune function and vascularization. Taken together, our results suggest that schizophrenia astrocytes are immunologically dysfunctional which might affect vascularization through secreted factors.

Aberrant neurodevelopment in human iPS cell-derived astrocyte-neuron co-culture model of Alexander disease

Project description:Co-cultures of neurons and astrocytes derived from human iPS cells carrying a GFAP (R239C) mutation - an identified cause of Alexander disease (AxD) - were analyzed with single-cell RNA sequencing to assess cell population composition, differential gene expression, and cell-cell interaction differences in AxD co-cultures compared to controls. Oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD) challenge was applied to identify differences in stress response. Our results suggested differentiation impairment especially in AxD astrocytes, represented by an enriched population of less differentiated cells and downregulation of mature astrocyte genes in AxD astrocytes-containing co-cultures. Furthermore, AxD co-cultures showed increased stress response represented by upregulation of metallothioneins and increased susceptibility to the OGD challenge.

Gene expression analysis of astrocytes differentiated from iPS cells generated from monozygotic twins discordant for schizophrenia

Project description:Previous studies have implicated several brain cell types in schizophrenia, but the genetic impact of astrocytes is unknown. Considering their high complexity in humans, astrocytes are likely key determinants of neurodevelopmental diseases. Human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC) -derived astrocytes differentiated from five monozygotic twin pairs discordant for schizophrenia and five healthy subjects were studied for alterations related to high genetic risk and clinical manifestation of SCZ in astrocyte transcriptomics.

Transcriptional signatures of schizophrenia in hiPSC-derived NPCs and neurons are concordant with signatures from post mortem adult brains

Project description:Whereas highly penetrant variants have proven well-suited to human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC)-based models, the power of hiPSC-based studies to resolve the much smaller effects of common variants within the size of cohorts that can be realistically assembled remains uncertain. In developing a large case/control schizophrenia (SZ) hiPSC-derived cohort of neural progenitor cells and neurons, we identified and accounted for a variety of technical and biological sources of variation. Reducing the stochastic effects of the differentiation process by correcting for cell type composition boosted the SZ signal in hiPSC-based models and increased the concordance with post mortem datasets. Because this concordance was strongest in hiPSC-neurons, it suggests that this cell type may better model genetic risk for SZ. We predict a growing convergence between hiPSC and post mortem studies as both approaches expand to larger cohort sizes. For studies of complex genetic disorders, to maximize the power of hiPSC cohorts currently feasible, in most cases and whenever possible, we recommend expanding the number of individuals even at the expense of the number of replicate hiPSC clones.

FUS-ALS hiPSC-derived astrocytes impair human motor units through both gain-of-toxicity and loss-of-support mechanisms

Project description:Non-neuronal cells, including astrocytes, play a crucial role in the selective motor neuron pathology in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). How astrocytes exactly contribute to the disease is not fully elucidated. Therefore, we characterised human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC)-derived astrocytes from FUS-ALS patients, and incorporated these astrocytes into a human motor unit model to investigate the astrocytic effect on hiPSC-derived motor neuron network and neuromuscular junctions (NMJs). We observed a dysregulation of astrocyte homeostasis, which resulted in a FUS-ALS-mediated increase in reactivity and secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines. Upon coculture with motor neurons and myotubes, we detected a cytotoxic effect on motor neuron-neurite morphology and outgrowth, as well as on NMJ formation and functionality, which was improved or fully rescued by isogenic control astrocytes. We conclude that mutant astrocytes have both a gain-of-toxicity and loss-of-support function in ALS, ultimately contributing to the disruption of motor neuron homeostasis, intercellular networks and NMJs.
