Cell fate decisions of human iPSC-derived bipotential hepatoblasts depend on cell density

ABSTRACT: During embryonic development bipotential hepatoblasts differentiate into hepatocytes and cholangiocytes- the two main cell types within the liver. Cell fate decision depends on elaborate interactions between distinct signalling pathways, namely Notch, WNT, TGFβ, and Hedgehog. Several in vitro protocols have been established to differentiate human pluripotent stem cells into either hepatocyte or cholangiocyte like cells (HLC/CLC) to enable disease modelling or drug screening. During HLC differentiation we observed the occurrence of epithelial cells with a phenotype divergent from the typical hepatic polygonal shape- we refer to these as endoderm derived epithelial cells (EDECs). These cells do not express the mature hepatocyte marker ALB or the progenitor marker AFP. However they express the cholangiocyte markers SOX9, OPN, CFTR as well as HNF4α, CK18 and CK19. Interestingly, they express both E Cadherin and Vimentin, two markers that are mutually exclusive, except for cancer cells. EDECs grow spontaneously under low density cell culture conditions and their occurrence was unaffected by interfering with the above mentioned signalling pathways.

A single-cell transcriptomic analysis reveals precise pathways and regulatory mechanisms underlying hepatoblast differentiation

Project description:How the bi-potential hepatoblasts differentiate into hepatocytes and cholangiocytes remains unclear. Here, using single-cell transcriptomic analysis of hepatoblasts, hepatocytes, and cholangiocytes sorted from E10.5 to E17.5 mouse embryos, we found that hepatoblast-to-hepatocyte differentiation occurred gradually followed a linear default pathway. As more cells became fully differentiated hepatocytes, the number of proliferating cells decreased. Surprisingly, the proliferating and quiescent hepatoblasts exhibited homogeneous differentiation states at a given developmental stage. This unique feature enabled us to combine the single-cell and bulk-cell analyses to define the precise timing of the hepatoblast-to-hepatocyte transition, which occurs between E13.5 and E15.5. In contrast to hepatocyte development at almost all levels, hepatoblast-to-cholangiocyte differentiation underwent a sharp detour from the default pathway. New cholangiocyte generation occurred continuously between E11.5 and E14.5, but their maturation states at a given developmental stage were heterogeneous. Even more surprising, the number of proliferating cells increased as more progenitor cells differentiated into mature cholangiocytes. Based on an observation from the single-cell analysis, we also discovered that the protein kinase C (PKC)/mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathway promoted cholangiocyte maturation. CONCLUSIONS: Our studies have defined distinct pathways for hepatocyte and cholangiocyte development in vivo, which are critically important for understanding basic liver biology and developing effective strategies to induce stem cells to differentiate towards specific hepatic cell fates in vitro.

Gene expression profile of human embryonic stem cell-derived hepatocyte-like cells

Project description:The differentiation of pluripotent stem cells to hepatocyte-like cells offers the perspective of unlimited supply of human hepatocytes. However, the degree of differentiation of hepatic-like cells (HLC) remains controversial. To obtain an unbiased characterization, we performed a transcriptomics study using the Affymetrix Gene ChipÂ® HG-U133 plus 2.0, with HLC derived from embryonic and induced stem cells (ESC, hiPSC) from two different laboratories. Genome-wide gene expression profiles of ESC and HLC were compared to freshly isolated and up to 14 days cultivated primary human hepatocytes (see submission E-MTAB-3994) obtained under patient informed consent from three male donors. Three biological replicas were used for each ESC and HLC models.

Transcriptomics during the differentiation of human pluripotent stem cells to hepatocyte-like cells

Project description:Human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) can differentiate into all cell types in the body that may replace current cell sources applied in regenerative medicine, cell therapy, drug discovery and development and general research. Human PSC-derived hepatocyte-like cells (HLCs) have the potential to replace primary hepatocytes and other cell models applied in liver disease treatment and drug discovery and development. These cells share many features with their in vivo counterparts however, the generation of fully functional hPSC-derive HLCs is still lacking, which prevent their application in the previously mentioned fields. This study followed the transcriptome dynamics during the differentiation of hPSC-derived HLCs at definitive endoderm, hepatoblast, early HLC and late HLC developmental stages and the controls hPSCs and human liver tissues which consists of at least 70% hepatocytes. The aim is to reveal expression deviations between hPSC-derived hepatocytes and their in vivo counterparts that may contribute to the modification of differentiation protocols to generate fully functional hepatocytes.

Improved maturity and yield of pluripotent stem cell-derived hepatocytes for 2D and 3D modeling of human liver pathophysiology

Project description:Robust and scalable differentiation of human pluripotent stem cells into high-quality hepatocyte-like cells (HLC) is achieved by acting on Wnt/b-catenin and TGFb pathways and taking advantage of latest knowledge on human liver development. Obtained HLC are comparable to primary human hepatocytes and superior to stem cell-derived hepatocytes generated with previously described protocols. As a proof of concept, such HLC were used to assess drug hepatotoxicity and study human ductal plate and bile duct morphogenesis in a complex liver organoid model.

Differential Role of NKG2D in Recognition and Killing of Hepatic Lineage Cells Derived from Embryonic Stem Cells and Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells

Project description:Recent advances towards the efficient and reproducible differentiation of stem cells into hepatocyte-like cells (HLC) have created potential opportunities in clinical transplantation. For this approach to be successfully translated, however, it is necessary to understand the immune response to stem cell-derived cellular products. Whereas both embryonic stem cells and induced pluripotent stem cells have been utilized as cellular sources for differentiation and lineage specification, their relative ability to be recognized by immune effector cells is unclear. Here we determine the expression of immune recognition molecules on HLC generated from murine embryonic stem cells and induced pluripotent stem cells, compared to adult hepatocytes, and we evaluate the impact on recognition by NK cells. We report that HLC lack MHC class I expression, and that embryonic stem cell derived-HLC have higher expression of the NK cell activating ligands Rae1, H60, and Mult1 than induced pluripotent stem cell-derived HLC and adult hepatocytes. Moreover, the lack of MHC class I render embryonic stem cell derived-HLC, and induced pluripotent stem cell derived-HLC, susceptible to killing by syngeneic and allogeneic NK cells. Both embryonic stem cell derived-HLC, and induced pluripotent stem cell derived-HLC, are killed by NK cells at higher levels than adult hepatocytes. Finally, we demonstrate that the NK cell activation receptor, NKG2D, plays a key role in NK cell killing of embryonic stem cell derived-HLC, but not induced pluripotent stem cell-derived HLC. Hepatocytes were isolated from FVB/NJ mice and C57Bl/6 mice using a modification of the Seglen’s perfusion technique.

Lgr5+ stem and progenitor cells reside at the apex of a heterogeneous embryonic hepatoblast pool

Project description:During mouse embryogenesis, progenitors within the liver known as hepatoblasts give rise to adult hepatocytes and cholangiocytes. Hepatoblasts, which are specified at E8.5-E9.0, have been regarded as a homogeneous progenitor population that initiate differentiation from E13.5. Recently, scRNA-seq analysis has identified sub- populations of transcriptionally distinct hepatoblasts at E11.5. Here, we show that hepatoblasts are not only transcriptionally but also functionally heterogeneous, and that a subpopulation of E9.5-E10.0 hepatoblasts exhibit a previously unidentified early commitment to cholangiocyte fate. Importantly, we also identify a sub-population constituting 2% of E9.5-E10.0 hepatoblasts that express the adult stem cell marker Lgr5, and generate both hepatocyte and cholangiocyte progeny that persist for the lifespan of the mouse. Combining lineage tracing and scRNA-seq, we show that Lgr5 marks E9.5-E10.0 bipotent liver progenitors residing at the apex of a hepatoblast hierarchy. Notably, isolated Lgr5+ hepatoblasts can be clonally expanded in vitro into embryonic liver organoids, which can commit to either hepatocyte or cholangiocyte fates. Our study demonstrates functional heterogeneity within E9.5 hepatoblasts and identifies Lgr5 as a marker for a sub-population of bipotent liver progenitors.

Localized T3 production modifies the transcriptome and promotes the hepatocyte-like lineage in iPSC-derived hepatic organoidslineage in iPSC-derived hepatic organoids

Project description:Thyroid hormone (TH) levels are low during development, and the deiodinases control TH signaling through tissue-specific activation or inactivation of TH. Here we studied human iPSC-derived hepatic organoids and identified a robust induction in DIO2 expression (the deiodinase that activates T4 to T3) that occurs in hepatoblasts. The surge in D2-T3 persists until the hepatoblasts differentiate into hepatocytes- or cholangiocytes-like cells, neither of which express DIO2. Preventing the induction of the D2-T3 signaling modified the expression of key transcription factors, decreased the number of hepatocyte-like cells by ~60%, and increased the number of cholangiocyte-like cells by ~55% without affecting the growth or the size of the mature liver organoid. Physiological levels of T3 could not fully restore the transition from hepatoblasts to mature cells. This indicates that the timed surge in D2-T3 signaling critically determines the fate of developing human hepatoblasts and the transcriptome of the maturing hepatocytes, with physiological and clinical implications for how the liver handles energy substrates.
