Stem cell-derived trophoblast organoids model human placental development and susceptibility to emerging pathogens

ABSTRACT: Trophoblast organoids derived from placental villi provide a 3D model system of human placental development, but access to first-trimester tissues is limited. Here we report that trophoblast stem cells isolated from naïve human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) can efficiently self-organize into 3D stem cell-derived trophoblast organoids (SC-TOs) with a villous architecture similar to primary trophoblast organoids. Single cell transcriptome analysis reveals the presence of distinct cytotrophoblast and syncytiotrophoblast clusters and a small cluster of extravillous trophoblasts, which closely correspond to trophoblast identities in the post-implantation embryo. These organoid cultures display clonal X chromosome inactivation patterns previously described in the human placenta. We further demonstrate that SC-TOs exhibit selective vulnerability to emerging pathogens (SARS-CoV-2 and Zika virus), which correlates with expression levels of their respective entry factors. The generation of trophoblast organoids from naïve hPSCs provides an accessible 3D model system of the developing placenta and its susceptibility to emerging pathogens.

Single-cell atlas of patient-derived trophoblast organoids (TO) in on-going pregnancies.

Project description:Trophoblast organoids (TOs) hold great promise for elucidating human placental development and function. By deriving TOs in on-going pregnancies using chorionic villus sampling (CVS), we established a platform to study trophoblast differentiation and function in early pregnancy, including pregnancies with different fetal genetic abnormalities. We addressed cellular heterogeneity of CVS-derived TOs by providing a single-cell transcriptomic atlas and show that CVS-TOs recapitulate key aspects of the human placenta, including syncytial fusion and hormone synthesis. This study demonstrates the utility of trophoblast organoids for investigating genetic defects in the placenta and describes an experimental platform for future personalized placental medicine approaches, including genotype-phenotype mapping.

Placental infection single-cell and single-nuclei maps

Project description:This resource comprises a single-cell multi-lineage map of first trimester infected placental cells. We have included data from both uninfected cells and cells infected with three pathogens known to cause maternal and fetal disorders: Plasmodium falciparum, Listeria monocytogenes, and Toxoplasma gondii. We also generated single-nuclei map of infected trophoblasts and their corresponding controls. Furthermore, we created a single-nuclei reference dataset containing information from uninfected primary placental organoids as well as organoids infected with P. falciparum. Additionally, we conducted sequencing at a single-cell level for P. falciparum parasites that were bound to the placenta (pf_b), parasites unbound to the placenta (pf_nb), and parasites that were cultured in vitro (pf_iv).

Transcriptomic profile of human placenta derived trophoblast organoid cultures with its tissue of origin, human placental villi.

Project description:The aim of this microarray experiment was to compare the overall transcriptomic profile of human placenta derived trophoblast organoid cultures with its tissue of origin, human placental villi. As the placental villi contains both trophoblast and stromal populations, we have included placenta derived stromal cultures in this comparison.

Zika virus targets human trophoblast stem cells and prevents syncytialization in placental trophoblast organoids

Project description:Zika virus (ZIKV) infection during pregnancy results in an increased risk of spontaneous abortion and vertical transmission across placenta results in severe congenital defects in newborns. While the infectivity and pathological effects of ZIKV on the placental trophoblast progenitor cells in early human embryos remains largely unknown. Here, using the human trophoblast stem cells (hTSCs) isolated from human blastocyst, we showed that hTSCs were permissive to ZIKV infection, while resistance to ZIKV increased with differentiation. Combined CRISPR/Cas9-mediated gene knockout and RNA-seq assays, we demonstrated that the intrinsic expression of AXL and TIM-1, as well as the absence of potent interferon (IFN)-stimulated genes (ISGs), contributed to the high sensitivity of hTSCs to ZIKV. Furthermore, using our newly developed hTSC-derived 3 dimensional (3D) placental trophoblast organoid model, we demonstrated that ZIKV infection completely disrupted the structure of mature hTSC-organoids and inhibited syncytialization. Overall, our results clearly demonstrated that hTSCs represented the major target cells of ZIKV, and a possible reduced syncytialization may result from ZIKV infection of early developing placenta. These findings deepened our understanding of the characteristics and consequences of ZIKV infection of trophoblast stem cells in early human embryo.

Treating the placenta with nanoparticles to prevent altered placental secretion and fetal development in response to hypoxia [Conditioned Medium]

Project description:Hypoxia-related pregnancy complications increase the risk of disease in the child in later life. No prevention is available. Previously we noted that a trophoblast barrier, an in vitro model of the placenta, reacted to oxidative stress by secreting factors that damage neighbouring cells. Application of mitochondrion-targeted antioxidant MitoQ prevented this. Here we tested the effects of MitoQ-bound nanoparticles on trophoblast barriers and in a rat model of gestational hypoxia.A single dose of MitoQ-nanoparticles, administered maternally before a hypoxic episode, reduced oxidative stress in the placental barrier without reaching the fetus and prevented changes to birthweight. MitoQ-nanoparticles further suppressed damaging signalling from the placental barriers. Altered signalling molecules in the fetal plasma and in conditioned media from rat placenta included changes to proteins with relevance to cardiovascular disease. We suggest as a future possibility, treatment of the placenta to prevent disease in the offspring in later life.

Characterization of primary models of human trophoblast

Project description:To understand the human placenta development, we investigated the features of two trophoblast models, trophoblast organoids and trophoblast stem cells, with the aim of identifying which type of trophoblast in vivo they most closely resemble. To this end, we profiled the transcriptomes from the two models by using the Truseq stranded mRNA library kit (Illumina).

Single cell trajectory modeling identifies a primitive trophoblast state defined by BCAM enrichment

Project description:The establishment and function of the human placenta is dependent on specialized cells called trophoblasts. Unfortunately, little is known about the cellular and molecular processes controlling human trophoblast stem cell maintenance and differentiation into mature trophoblast sub-populations/cell states. To address this, we here report transcriptomic data from n=7 first trimester human placental tissues, n=3 regenerative human trophoblast stem cell (hTSC) derived trophoblast organoids, and n=3 EVT-differentiated hTSC derived organoid cultures at single-cell resolution. This study sought to identify the molecular programs and cell states important in trophoblast progenitor establishment, renewal, and differentiation. Placental tissues were collected following elective termination at the British Columbia Women’s Hospital CARE clinic. hTSC cultures were established as described and sequenced on either day 0 of culture (for regenerative organoid colonies), or day 7 of culture (for EVT-differentiated organoid colonies).
