Rapid and efficient conversion of common marmoset fibroblasts into mature and functional neurons by overexpression of ASCL1 and microRNA-9/9*-124

ABSTRACT: The common marmoset (marmoset; Callithrix jacchus) has been attracting much attention especially in the research fields of biomedical science and neuroscience, because of its potential to recapitulate the complex and multidimensional phenotypes of human diseases. Taking these advantages, several transgenic models have been reported so far. However, there remain several issues such as (i) it takes years to generate the late-onset disease models, and (ii) the onset age and severity of phenotypes can vary among individual animals due to their differences in the genetic background. In the present study, we established an efficient and rapid direct neuronal induction method (induced Neuron; iN) from embryonic and adult marmoset fibroblasts. This iN method is a minimally invasive approach to investigate cellular-level phenotypes in the marmoset brain. We overexpressed microRNA-9/9*-124 and a transcription factor ASCL1 in fibroblasts with a small molecule cocktail that ameliorates neuronal induction. The resultant iN cells from both embryonic and adult marmoset fibroblasts showed standard neuronal characteristic within 2 weeks, including neuronal specific gene expression and neuronal membrane spontaneous firing activity. Thus, this novel neuronal induction method may offer a new tool for investigating neurological phenotypes in vitro without collecting living brain tissue in non-human primate neurological disease models.

Establishment of induced pluripotent stem cells from common marmoset fibroblasts by RNA-based reprogramming

Project description:The common marmoset (marmoset; Callithrix jacchus) shows anatomical and physiological features that are in common with humans. Establishing induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) from marmosets holds promise for enhancing the utility of the animal model for biomedical and preclinical studies. However, in spite of the presence of some previous reports on marmoset iPSCs, the reprogramming technology in marmosets is still under development. In particular, the efficacy of RNA-based reprogramming has not been thoroughly investigated. In this study, we attempted RNA-based reprogramming for deriving iPSCs from marmoset fibroblasts. Although we failed to derive iPSC colonies from marmoset fibroblasts by using a conventional RNA-based reprogramming method previously validated in human fibroblasts, we succeeded in deriving colony-forming cells with a modified induction medium supplemented with a novel set of small molecules. Importantly, following one-week culture of the colony-forming cells in conventional embryonic stem cell (ESC) medium, we obtained iPSCs which express endogenous pluripotent markers and show a differentiation potential into all three germ layers. Taken together, our results indicate that RNA-based reprogramming, which is valuable for deriving transgene-free iPSCs, is applicable to marmosets.

Non-viral Induction of Transgene-free iPSCs from Somatic Fibroblasts of Multiple Mammalian Species [pig]

Project description:Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) are capable of providing an unlimited source of cells from all three germ layers as well as germ cells. The derivation and usage of iPSCs from various animal models may facilitate stem-cell-based therapy, generation of gene-modified animals, and evolutionary studies assessing interspecies differences. However, there is a lack of species-wide methods for deriving iPSCs, in particular by means of non-viral and non-transgene-integrating (NTI) approaches. Here, we demonstrated the derivation of iPSCs from somatic fibroblasts of multiple mammalian species from three different taxonomic orders, including the common marmoset (Callithrix jacchus) in Primates, the dog (Canis lupus familiaris) in Carnivora, and the pig (Sus scrofa) in Cetartiodactyla, by combinatorial usage of chemical compounds and NTI episomal vectors. Interestingly, the somatic fibroblasts temporarily acquired a neural stem cell (NSC)-like state during the reprogramming procedure. Collectively, our method, robustly applicable to various species, holds a great potential for facilitating stem-cell-based research using various animals in Mammalia.

Evolutionary and Developmental Specialization of Foveal Cell Types in the Marmoset

Project description:In primates, high-acuity vision is mediated by the fovea, a small specialized central region of the retina. The fovea, unique to the anthropoid lineage among mammals, undergoes notable neuronal morphological changes during postnatal maturation. However, the degree of cellular similarity across anthropoid foveas and the molecular underpinnings of foveal maturation remain unclear. Here, we used high throughput single cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) to profile retinal cells of the common marmoset (Callithrix jacchus), an early divergent in anthropoid evolution from humans, apes, and macaques. We generated atlases of the marmoset fovea and peripheral retina for both neonates and adults.

Attempts for deriving extended pluripotent stem cells from common marmoset embryonic stem cells

Project description:Extended pluripotent stem cells (EPSCs) derived from mice and humans showed an enhanced potential for chimeric formation. By exploiting transcriptomic techniques, we assessed the differences in gene expression profile between extended EPSCs derived from mice and humans, and those newly derived from the common marmoset (marmoset; Callithrix jacchus). Although the marmoset EPSC-like cells displayed a unique colony morphology distinct from murine and human EPSCs, they displayed a pluripotent state akin to embryonic stem cells (ESCs), as confirmed by gene expression and immunocytochemical analyses of pluripotency markers and three-germ-layer differentiation assay. Importantly, the marmoset EPSC-like cells showed interspecies chimeric contribution to mouse embryos, such as E6.5 blastocysts in vitro and E8.5 epiblasts in vivo in mouse development. Also, we discovered that the perturbation of gene expression of the marmoset EPSC-like cells from the original ESCs resembled that of human EPSCs. Thus, we established the efficacy of the method for the derivation of marmoset EPSCs

Establishing a common marmoset induced pluripotent stem cell line NM-iPS by an all-in-one episomal vector approach

Project description:Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-based episomal vector system enables persistent transgene expression, which is advantageous for efficient derivation of transgene-free induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) without viral transduction. Here, we report establishment of an iPSC line from somatic fibroblasts of a neonatal common marmoset monkey (marmoset; Callithrix jacchus) using an all-in-one episomal vector that we newly developed. The established iPSC line, named NM-iPS, showed standard characteristics of pluripotency such as pluripotency-related marker expression, three germ layer differentiation, and normal karyotype (2n = 46). The novel iPSC line would be a useful resource for stem cell research using non-human primates.

Induction of primordial germ cell-like cells from common marmoset embryonic stem cells by inhibition of WNT and retinoic acid signaling

Project description:Reconstitution of germ cell lineage using pluripotent stem cells provides a unique platform to deepen our understanding of the mechanisms underlying germ cell development and to produce functional gametes for reproduction. Here, we report a robust induction of primordial germ cell-like cells (PGCLCs) from common marmoset (Callithrix jacchus) embryonic stem cells. The robust induction was achieved by not only activation of the conserved PGC-inducing signals, WNT and BMP4, but also temporal inhibitions of WNT and retinoic acid signals, which prevent mesodermal and neural differentiation, respectively, during PGCLC differentiation. Many of the gene expression and differentiation properties of common marmoset PGCLCs were similar to those of human PGCLCs, making this culture system a reliable and useful primate model. Finally, we identified PDPN and KIT as surface marker proteins by which PGCLCs can be isolated from embryonic stem cells without genetic manipulation. This study will expand the opportunities for research on germ cell development and production of functional gametes to the common marmoset.
