Development of a three dimensional in vitro teratoma assay for pluripotent human embryonic stem cells

ABSTRACT: The best assay for confirmation of pluripotency for mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs) is blastocyst chimerism and for human ESCs the production of teratomas in immunodeficient mice that contain lineages from all three primordial germ layers. However, the latter assay has been interpreted by some as one type of human-animal chimera and studies involving human-animal chimerism present a wide range of ethical issues with restrictive legislation in some countries. The need for teratoma assays is compelling because unproven differentiation may suggest a dangerously flawed cell resource for use in future therapies. We find that a three dimensional anchorage independent growth protocol for hESCs using methylcellulose and matrigel encourages prolonged growth of embryoid bodies (EBs) leading onto formation of teratomas in vitro. Our late EBs are a miniature form of teratomas containing lineages from all three germ layers, do not show embryonal carcinoma cells and allows integration of microinjected cancer cells (HepG2-GFP).

Expression data from control (F/F) and Snai1 knockout (KO) embryoid body (EB) and teratoma ™

Project description:Snai1 is a master factor of epithelial to mesenchymal transitioin (EMT), however, its role in embryonic stem cell (ESC) differentiation and lineage commitment remains undefined. We used microarrays to compare the global programme of gene expression between control and Snai1 knockout ESCs-derived EB and teratoma. For EBs, control and Snai1 knockout ESCs were cultured as embryoid bodies in spotaneous differentiation media, RNA of 5 days EBs were collected for Affymetrix microarrays. For teratomas, control and Snai1 knockout ESCs were injected into nude mice to form teratomas. RNA of 6 weeks were collected for Affymetrix microarrays.

Transcriptome profiles of differentiated mouse embryonic stem cells cultured in normal condition and static magnetic field condition by RNA-seq analysisanalysis

Project description:Embryonic stem cells (ESCs) have the ability to differentiate into cells of the three germ layers, and leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) maintains the pluripotency and promotes the proliferation of ESCs. In the absence of LIF, ESCs spontaneously differentiate and form three-dimensional aggregates known as embryoid bodies (EBs). The differentiation of EBs mimics the process of embryonic development, that is, the differentiation of cells into the three embryonic germ layers (endoderm, mesoderm, and ectoderm), some of which differentiate into beating cardiomyocytes. Static magnetic fields have diverse effects on organisms, studies on the regulation of the differentiation of ESCs to cardiomyocytes by static magnetic fields are not sufficient. To better understand transcriptional landscape and signal transductions, we performed RNA-seq analysis of EBs cultured in two different conditions: conventional incubator, static magnetic field incubator.

Efficient differentiation of steroidogenic and germ-like cells from epigenetically-related iPSCs derived from ovarian granulosa cells

Project description:To explore restoration of ovarian function using epigenetically-related, induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), we functionally evaluated the epigenetic memory of novel iPSC lines, derived from mouse and human ovarian granulosa cells (GCs) using c-Myc, Klf4, Sox2 and Oct4 retroviral vectors. The stem cell identity of the mouse and human GC-derived iPSCs (mGriPSCs, hGriPSCs) was verified by demonstrating embryonic stem cell (ESC) antigen expression using immunocytochemistry and RT-PCR analysis, as well as formation of embryoid bodies (EBs) and teratomas that are capable of differentiating into cells from all three germ layers. GriPSCs' gene expression profiles associate more closely with those of ESCs than of the originating GCs as demonstrated by genome-wide analysis of mRNA and microRNA. A comparative analysis of EBs generated from three different mouse cell lines (mGriPSCs; fibroblast-derived iPSC, mFiPSCs; G4 embryonic stem cells, G4 mESCs) revealed that differentiated mGriPSC-EBs synthesize 10-fold more estradiol (E2) than either differentiated FiPSC- or mESC-EBs under identical culture conditions. By contrast, mESC-EBs primarily synthesize progesterone (P4) and FiPSC-EBs produce neither E2 nor P4. Differentiated mGriPSC-EBs also express ovarian markers (AMHR, FSHR, Cyp19a1, ER and Inha) as well as markers of early gametogenesis (Mvh, Dazl, Gdf9, Boule and Zp1) more frequently than EBs of the other cell lines. These results provide evidence of preferential homotypic differentiation of mGriPSCs into ovarian cell types. Collectively, our data support the hypothesis that generating iPSCs from the desired tissue type may prove advantageous due to the iPSCs' epigenetic memory.

The Effect of liver regeneration on hESCs transplanted into SCID mice

Project description:A source of functioning hepatocytes for liver cell transplantation and liver support is in need. hESCs , when transplanted, generally form teratomas. We studied capacity of hESCs to differentiate to hepatocyte like cells under the effect of in vivo liver regeneration. In SCID-Beige mice hepatocyte replication peaked 48 hours after CCl4 injection; 24 hours earlier 106 hESCs or EBs at different stages of differentiation were transplanted into the spleen. Comparisons were made to teratomas formed in the hind limb of untreated animals. RT-PCR and gene microarray were used for liver and human specific markers. Immunohistochemistry to AFP,AAT, ALB, HEP-PAR I AND CK-18,19 were performed. EBs formed a single large teratoma in the spleen and small teratomas in the liver. Expression of PCR- identified liver specific markers was greater in the spleen than in the liver. Adult hepatocyte specific markers were expressed in the hind limb teratoma excised after 7 weeks. When late EBs were transplanted before CCl4 exposure, no teratomas formed. Rather, an abundance of probably undifferentiated ectodermal origin cells presented. In this descriptive study, transplanted early human EBs formed teratomas that differed in size and molecular markers. Within teratomas, the degree of maturation into hepatocytes correlated better with the time duration in vivo than with growth stimulation. Late EBs formed non differentiated ectodermal cells only in a regenerative microenvironment.

Loss of Tet enzymes compromises proper differentiation of embryonic stem cells

Project description:Tet enzymes (Tet1/2/3) convert 5-methylcytosine (5mC) to 5-hydroxy-methylcytosine (5hmC) and are dynamically expressed in various embryonic and adult cell types. While loss of individual Tet enzymes or combined deficiency of Tet1/2 allows for embryogenesis, the effect of complete loss of Tet activity and 5hmC marks in development is not established. We have generated Tet1/2/3 triple knockout (TKO) mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and examined their developmental potential. Combined deficiency of all three Tets depleted 5hmC and impaired ESC differentiation as seen in poorly differentiated TKO embryoid bodies (EBs) and teratomas. Consistent with impaired differentiation, TKO-ESCs contributed poorly to chimeric embryos and could not support embryonic development. Global gene expression and methylome analyses of TKO-EBs revealed promoter hypermethylation and deregulation of genes implicated in embryonic development and differentiation. These findings suggest a requirement for Tet- and 5hmC-mediated DNA demethylation in proper regulation of gene expression during differentiation of ESCs and development. To quantify global gene expression in differentiating embryoid bodies (EBs) derived from wild type (WT) and Tet triple knockout (TKO), TKO and WT mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs) were differentiated in vitro to EBs and cultured for 10 days. RNA was extracted using Qiagen RNeasy kit and subjected to microarray analysis. Global gene expression profile of two technical replicas of WT embryoid bodies (2 samples in total) was compared to two technical replicas of two independent TKO embryoid bodies (4 TKO samples in total).

Genome-wide profiling of genes during differentiation of wild (WT) murine embryonic stem cells (ESCs), scrambled control (SCR) ESCs, and Strip2 silenced (KD) ESCs

Project description:The role of Striatin Interacting Protein 2 (Strip2) in differentiation of embryonic stem cells (ESCs) is still under debate. Strip2 silenced (KD) ESCs were differentiated for 4, 8, 12, and 16 days. We show that Strip2 is distributed in the perinucleus or nuclei of wild type (WT) undifferentiated ESCs, but is localized in high-density nuclear bodies in differentiated cells. CellNet analysis of microarray gene expression data for KD and scrambled control (SCR) embryoid bodies (EBs), as well as immunostainings of key pluripotent factors, demonstrated that KD ESCs remain undifferentiated. This occurs even in 16-day old EBs, which possessed a high tumorigenic potential. Correlated with very high expression levels of epigenetic regulator genes, Hat1 and Dnmt3, enzymatic activities of the histone acetyltransferase type B (HAT1) and DNA (cytosine-5)-methyltransferase 3 beta (DNMT3b) were higher in differentiated 16-day old KD EBs than in SCR or WT EBs. The expression levels of let-7, 290 and 302 microRNA families were opposed in KD ESCs, while KD EBs had levels comparable to WT and SCR ESCs during differentiation. This demonstrates that Strip2 is critical to the onset of differentiation, regulating expression of epigenetic regulators, HAT1 and DNMT3b, as well as microRNAs involved in pluripotency.
