Human Embryonic Stem Cell-derived Expandable Hepatic Organoids Enable Pathophysiological Model of Alcoholic Liver Injury

ABSTRACT: We report the generation of human pluripotent-stem-cell-derived (hPSC), expandable hepatic organoids (hEHOs) using a newly established method that consists of subjecting hPSCs to a sequence of distinct wholly defined (serum-free, feeder free) media lineage restricting the cells to become determined hepatic stem cells followed by a process of shifting the cells from monolayer (2D) to organoid (3D ) cultures. The hEHOs stably keep phenotypic features of a bi-potent hepatic lineage that can differentiate into functional hepatocytes or cholangiocytes. The hEHOs can expand for over 20 passages enabling industrial scaling to amounts requisite for industry or clinical programs. The cells from culture are able to engraft rapidly into injured liver parenchyma of FRG mice following transplantation and to differentiate in vivo into mature hepatocytes. If implanted into the epididymis fat pads of immune-deficiency mice, they do not generate non-hepatic lineages nor teratomas. We further developed a derivative model by incorporating human fetal liver mesenchymal cells (hFLMCs) into the hEHOs, referred as hFLMC/hEHO, and used the organoids to model alcohol liver disease-associated pathophysiologic changes, such as oxidative stress generation, steatosis, inflammatory mediators release and fibrosis, following treatment with alcohol. Our work demonstrates that the hFLMC/hEHO provide a novel ex vivo pathophysiological model for studying alcohol liver disease as well as many other non-genetic liver diseases.

RNA-sequencing analysis of human hepatic organoids derived from human induced pluripotent stem cells

Project description:Liver is a central organ for drug and xenobiotics metabolism in human body. Due to the differences in interspecies metabolism, human model system for liver metabolism is necessary. However, the hepatic model systems derived from human pluripotent stem cells for metabolic screening and assays did not recapitulate the most of metabolic capabilities of human liver or primary human hepatocytes to date. In this study, we developed human hepatic endoderm organoids which are expandable and subsequently differentiated human hepatic organoids having metabolic capabilities. To investigate the transcriptome of human hepatic organoids, we performed RNA-sequencing.

Sex specific role of KDM5B demethylase in Alcohol-associated Liver Disease development and resolution

Project description:Alcohol-associated liver disease (ALD) is a major cause of alcohol related mortality. Recently we identified hepatic demethylases KDM5B and KDM5C as important sex-specific epigenetic regulators of alcohol response in the liver. In this study we aimed to study the molecular mechanisms of KDM5-dependent ALD development and resolution. We found that alcohol induces pathological changes in cell-cell communication in the liver that are in part mediated by epigenetic changes in hepatocytes mediated by histone demethylase KDM5B. Using cell type specific knockout mice, we found that KDM5B histone demethylase was a key regulator of alcohol-induced epigenetic changes in hepatocytes. Moreover, it regulated hepatocytes-non-parenchymal cell crosstalk that promoted inflammation and fibrosis development in ALD. This mechanism was specific to females. In males KDM5B deficiency was not sufficient to prevent fibrosis development. In contrast KDM5B demethylase loss promoted fibrosis resolution in both males and females. This mechanism involved changes in hepatocyte-macrophage crosstalk and LXRα activation, which we identified to be critical for the fibrosis resolution process. CONCLUSION: In summary, KDM5B demethylase is a regulator of cell-cell crosstalk involved in disease progression in females and in disease resolution in both sexes.

Identification of myeloid-derived growth factor as a mechanically-induced, growth-promoting angiocrine signal for human hepatocytes

Project description:Recently, we have shown that after partial hepatectomy (PHx), an increased hepatic blood flow initiates liver growth in mice by vasodilation and mechanically-triggered release of angiocrine signals. Here, we use mass spectrometry to identify a mechanically-induced angiocrine signal in human hepatic endothelial cells, that is, myeloid-derived growth factor (MYDGF). We show that it induces proliferation and promotes survival of primary human hepatocytes derived from different donors in two-dimensional cell culture, via activation of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3). MYDGF also enhances proliferation of human hepatocytes in three-dimensional organoids. In vivo, genetic deletion of MYDGF decreases hepatocyte proliferation in the regenerating mouse liver after PHx; conversely, adeno-associated viral delivery of MYDGF increases hepatocyte proliferation and MAPK signaling after PHx. We conclude that MYDGF represents a mechanically-induced angiocrine signal and that it triggers growth of, and provides protection to, primary mouse and human hepatocytes

Proteomic profiling of murine biliary-derived hepatic organoids and their capacity for drug disposition, bio-activation and detoxification

Project description:Hepatic organoids are a recent innovation in in vitro modelling. Initial studies suggest organoids better recapitulate the liver phenotype in vitro compared to pre-existing proliferative cell models. However, their propensity for drug metabolism and detoxification remains poorly characterised. A global proteomic profiling of undifferentiated and differentiated hepatic murine organoids and donor-matched livers was therefore performed to assess both their similarity to liver tissue and DMET expression. iTRAQ analysis revealed 4,405 proteins commonly detected across all sample types. Differentiation of organoids significantly increased the expression of multiple CYP450s, phase II enzymes, liver biomarkers and hepatic transporters. While the final phenotype of differentiated organoids is distinct from liver tissue, they contain multiple DMET proteins necessary for liver function and drug metabolism, such as CYP450 3A, GSTA and MDR1A. Hepatic organoids may therefore represent an attractive novel model for hepatotoxicity testing, although further experimentation, optimisation and characterisation is needed relative to pre-existing models to fully contextualise their use as a putative in vitro model of DILI.

Single cell transcriptomics of hepatostellate organoids derived from DKC1 A353V mutant and DKC1 A353V corrected iPSCs

Project description:We model liver phenotypes associated with telomere dysfunction using DC patient-derived iPS cells and isogenic controls with CRISPR/Cas9-mediated homology-directed repair correction of the disease-causing DKC1 mutation. Differentiation of these cells into hepatocyte-like cells or hepatic stellate cells indicates that the parenchymal hepatocytes are primarily affected by telomere dysfunction. We develop an admixed hepatostellate organoid culture model which further reveals that mutant hepatocytes exert dominant effects on hepatic stellate cells regardless of stellate cell genotype. Hepatostellate organoids containing DKC1-mutant hepatocytes exhibit hyperplasia in both the hepatocyte compartment and, remarkably, in stellate cells. Moreover, mutant hepatocytes can induce hallmarks of stellate cell activation independently of stellate cell genotype. Interestingly, mutant hepatostellate organoids also contain off-target PLVAP+ endothelial cells reminiscent of scar-associated endothelium observed in non-DC cirrhosis patients.

Expression data of the livers in mouse with iso-α-acids intake

Project description:Scope: Alcoholic liver disease (ALD) is a major cause of chronic liver disease and is induced by alcohol consumption. Acetaldehyde produced by alcohol metabolism enhances the fibrosis of the liver through hepatic stellate cells. Additionally, alcohol administration causes the accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which induce hepatocyte-injury-mediated lipid peroxidation. The purpose of this study was to investigate the protective effects of iso-α-acids against alcoholic liver injury in hepatocytes in mice. Methods and results: C57BL/6N mice were fed diets containing isomerized hop extract, which mainly consists of iso-α-acids. After 7 days of feeding, acetaldehyde was administered by a single intraperitoneal injection. The acetaldehyde-induced increases in serum AST and ALT levels were suppressed by iso-α-acids intake. Hepatic gene expression analyses showed the upregulation of the glutathione-S-transferase, alcohol dehydrogenase and aldehyde dehydrogenase genes. In vitro, iso-α-acids induced the nuclear translocation of nuclear factor erythroid 2-like 2 (Nfe2l2; Nrf2), a master regulator of antioxidant and detoxifying systems, and upregulated the enzymatic activities of glutathione-S-transferase and aldehyde dehydrogenase. Conclusions: These results suggest that iso-α-acids intake prevents alcoholic liver disease injury by reducing oxidative stress via the Nrf2-mediated pathway.

Hepatocytes obtained from mouse GPSCs are functional and show similar expression profiles to fetal primary hepatocytes

Project description:Germline cell-derived pluripotent stem cells (GPSCs) are similar to embryonic stem (ES) cells in that they can proliferate intensively and differentiate into a variety of cell types, including cardiomyocytes and neurons. In this report, mouse GPSCs were induced to differentiate into hepatocytes with very high efficiency, and demonstrated, for the first time, to be functional. These hepatocytes were characterised at cellular and molecular levels. The GPSC-derived hepatocytes not only expressed hepatic markers, but were also metabolically active as shown by albumin and haptoglobin secretion, urea synthesis, glycogen storage and indocyanine green uptake. Previous studies have revealed some inherent differences in gene expression between undifferentiated mouse ES cells and GPSCs. We wanted to investigate whether this difference may impact on the hepatocyte differentiation capacity of the GPSCs. Large-scale gene expression profiling revealed a strong similarity between GPSC and ES cells at different stages of induced hepatic differentiation. Moreover, Pearson correlation analysis of the microarray datasets revealed that, at late hepatic differentiation stages, the in vitro-derived cells were closer to fetal mouse primary hepatocytes. Thus, adult GPSCs offer great potential for cell ment therapy for a wide variety of liver diseases. Mouse ES cells and GPSCs at various times of hepatocyte differentiation, compared to embryonal (E16) and postnatal (PN1) mouse primary hepatocytes. The supplementary file 'GSE19044_non-normalized.txt' contains non-normalized data for Samples GSM471318-GSM471359.

Transcriptome analysis of hiHepPCs in various culture conditions, human liver-derived hepatocytes, human liver-derived cholangiocytes, HUVECs, and HPBECs

Project description:Transcriptome analysis of human induced hepatic progenitor cells (hiHepPCs) in various culture conditions, human liver-derived hepatocytes, human liver-derived cholangiocytes, human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs), and human peripheral blood-derived endothelial cells (HPBECs) We found that a specific combination of three transcription factors, FOXA3, HNF1A, and HNF6, could convert HUVECs and HPBECs into cells that closely resembled hepatic progenitor cells in vitro. These hiHepPCs were expandable in long-term culture and able to differentiate into hepatocytes and cholangiocytes in accordance with their culture conditions. We conducted RNA-seq analyses to investigate the characteristincs of hiHepPCs and their progenies, in addition to those of parental HUVECs, HPBECs, and human liver-derived cells.

In vitro expansion of single adult Lgr5+ liver cells induced by Wnt-driven regeneration

Project description:The Wnt target gene Lgr5 marks actively dividing stem cells in Wnt-driven, self-renewing tissues such as small intestine and colon, stomach and hair follicles. A 3D culture system allows long-term clonal expansion of single Lgr5+ stem cells into transplantable organoids that retain many characteristics of the original epithelial architecture. A crucial component of the culture medium is the Wnt agonist Rspo, the recently discovered ligand of Lgr5. Here we show that Lgr5-LacZ is not expressed in healthy adult liver, yet that small Lgr5-LacZ+ cells appear near bile ducts upon damage, coinciding with robust activation of Wnt signaling. As shown by lineage tracing using a novel Lgr5-ires-CreERT2 knock-in allele, damage-induced Lgr5+ cells generate hepatocytes and bile ducts in vivo. Single Lgr5+ cells from damaged liver can be clonally expanded as organoids in Rspo1-based culture medium over multiple months. Such clonal organoids can be induced to differentiate in vitro and to generate functional hepatocytes upon transplantation into FAH-/- mice. These findings imply that previous findings on Lgr5+ stem cells in actively self-renewing tissues extend to damage-induced stem cells in a tissue with a low rate of spontaneous self-renewal. We first generated arrays from multiple wildtype tissues including muscle, white adipose tissues, brown adipose tissues, liver and pancreas. Then we generated arrays from liver derived cultures maintained in different conditions, and compared the expression profile with the corresponding parental tissues and other non-related tissues.
