Project description:Skeletal muscle stem cells are essential to muscle homeostasis and regeneration after injury. An attractive approach to obtain these cells is via differentiation of pluripotent stem cells (PSCs). We have recently reported that teratomas derived from mouse PSCs are a rich source of skeletal muscle stem cells. Here, we showed that the teratoma formation method is also capable of producing skeletal myogenic progenitors from human PSCs. Using single-cell transcriptomics, we discovered multiple lineages in human PSC-derived teratomas. Interestingly, we observed several distinct skeletal myogenic subpopulations. Trajectory analysis revealed that these subpopulations represented progressive stages of skeletal myogenic development. We further discovered that ERBB3 and CD82 are effective surface markers for prospective isolation of the skeletal myogenic lineage in human PSC-derived teratomas. Therefore, teratoma formation provides an accessible model for obtaining human skeletal myogenic progenitors from PSCs.

Project description:Pluripotent stem cell-derived mesenchymal progenitor cells (PSC-MPCs) are primarily derived through two main methods: 3-dimensional (3D) embryonic body-platform (EB formation) and 2D direct differentiation method. We recently established somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT)-PSC lines and showed their stemness. In the present study, we produced SCNT-PSC-MPCs using a novel direct differentiation method, and the characteristics, gene expression, and genetic stability of these MPCs were compared with those derived through the EB formation method. The recovery and purification of SCNT-PSC-Direct-MPCs were significantly accelerated compared to those of the SCNT-PSC-EB-MPCs, but both types of MPCs expressed typical surface markers and exhibited similar proliferation and differentiation potentials. Additionally, the analysis of gene expression patterns using microarrays showed very similar patterns. Moreover, array CGH analysis showed that both SCNT-PSC-Direct-MPCs and SCNT-PSC-EB-MPCs exhibited no significant differences in copy number variation (CNV) or single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) frequency. These results indicate that SCNT-PSC-Direct-MPCs exhibited high genetic stability even after rapid differentiation into MPCs, and the rate at which directly derived MPCs reached a sufficient number was higher than that of MPCs derived through the EB method. Therefore, we suggest that the direct method of differentiating MPCs from SCNT-PSCs can improve the efficacy of SCNT-PSCs applied to allogeneic transplantation.

Project description:The poor clinical outcome in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA) has been attributed to intrinsic resistance to chemotherapy and a growth-permissive tumor microenvironment. Quiescent pancreatic stellate cells (PSCs) are neuroendocrine, nestin-positive, lipid-accumulating cells whose homologues in the liver are the principal repository of Vitamin A esters. Upon activation, lipid droplets are lost and via transdifferentiation they become the key cell type responsible for driving the severe desmoplasia that characterizes PDA. Despite their critical role in PDA progression and chemoresistance, therapeutic strategies targeting PSCs are lacking. Here we identified the vitamin D receptor (VDR) as a master genomic regulator of PSC activation and function. In vitro we demonstrate that VDR activation reduces expression in PSCs of genes implicated in activation, inflammation, and extracellular matrix production, as well as restoring lipid droplet integrity. In vivo, the VDR ligand calcipotriol enhances the anti-tumor effects of gemcitabine by increasing intratumoral concentration 5-fold, reducing tumor volume to near baseline and lowering metastases by more than 65%. These findings implicate VDR as a master regulator of PSC activation and identify a novel therapeutic approach for the treatment of pancreatic cancer. RNA-Seq analyses was used to characterize cancer-associated changes between pre-activated (3-day culture) and activated (7-day culture) primary mouse PSCs, as well as control and PDA human PSCs. RNA-Seq was also used to assess the impact of VDR activation (DMSO vs calcipotriol) in a human PSC line (MiaPaCa-2), the mouse primary PSCs

Project description:Generation of T cells from pluripotent stem cells (PSC) has the potential to transform adoptive immunotherapy for cancer into universal donor, off-the-shelf cellular therapies. However, differentiation of human PSCs into fully mature T cells has been challenging with existing methods. We report that a 3D organoid method permitted efficient differentiation of human embryonic stem cell and induced pluripotent stem cell-derived mesoderm progenitors to mature, functional conventional T cells with a diverse T cell receptor (TCR) repertoire. This continuous culture system supported both hematopoietic induction and terminal differentiation to naïve, conventional CD3+CD8αβ+ and CD3+CD4+ T cells. Introduction of a Class I-restricted TCR in PSCs produced antigen-specific CD8αβ+ T cells lacking endogenous TCR expression. Functional assays and RNA sequencing aligned PSC-derived T cells with primary naïve conventional CD8+ T cells. The organoid system presented here provides an effective and scalable platform to generate functional mature T cells from human PSCs.

Project description:We derived primed pluripotent stem cell cultures (PSCs) from marmoset blastocyst using conventional human PSC culture conditions (KSR/bFGF on feeders). Naïve marmoset PSCs were established by chemical resetting. In addition, we generated forebrain-derived cells from the frontal lobe of a marmoset neonate. Individual cells were manually isolated with a mouth pipette and subjected to single-cell full-lengths transcriptome profiling using a modified version of Smart-Seq2.

Project description:Pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) present promising engineering opportunities as sources of allogeneic T cells for off-the-shelf immunotherapies. However, the complex in vitro process of differentiation required to generate mature T cells from genetically engineered PSCs introduces unique challenges, as positive selection is dependent on the same molecular machinery that must be removed to prevent alloreactivity. We report an organoid-based method in which engineering of the stromal microenvironment induced generation of antigen-restricted, mature, conventional T cells from PSCs which lacked all endogenous TCR and Class I MHC expression. Transgenic signals required to rescue positive selection were supplied by separate cellular sources; T cell precursors from edited PSC expressed a single TCR, and a murine stromal line provided cognate human MHC and other critical T cell development signals. Edited T cells exhibited superior tumour control in vivo likely due to the absence of TCR mispairing. This in vitro method overcomes key biological impediments inherent to developing T cell immunotherapies from allogeneic PSCs.

Project description:In this study, we developed a feeder-, serum-, and animal product-free culture condition, and successfully induced high percentage of SLCs from human PSCs. Genome-wide expression analyses demonstrated a significant upregulation of germ cell specific genes in SLCs derived from PSCs compared to in vivo isolated human CD90+ SSCs. And furthermore, under this optimized feeder-free condition SLCs have went through meiosis and formed putative round spermatids. Our data demonstrated a robust feeder-, serum- and xeno-free protocol to induce differentiation of PSCs to SLCs from which putative haploid spermatids may develop.

Project description:The goal of this study was to document the gene expression profile of FOXN1+ thymic endoderm cells derived from the in vitro differentiation of human pluripotent stem cells. Thymic epithelial cells (TECs) play a critical role in T-cell maturation and tolerance induction. The generation of TECs from in vitro differentiation of human pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) would provide a platform for studying the mechanisms of this interaction and have implications for immune reconstitution. To facilitate analysis of PSC-derived TECs, we generated human embryonic stem cell (hESC) reporter lines in which sequences encoding GFP were targeted to FOXN1, a gene required for TEC development. Using this FOXN1GFP/w line as a read out, we developed a reproducible protocol for generating FOXN1-GFP+ thymic endoderm cells. Transcriptional profiling and flow cytometry identified Integrin-β4 (ITGB4, CD104) and HLA-DR as markers that could be used in combination with EpCAM to selectively purify FOXN1+ TEC progenitors from differentiating cultures of unmanipulated PSCs. Human FOXN1+ TEC progenitors generated from PSCs will facilitate the study of thymus biology and are a valuable resource for future applications in regenerative medicine Human embryonic stem cells were differentiated for 30 days using the protocol described by Soh et al, 2014. The hESCs used in this protocol had been genetically modified by targeting sequences encoding GFP to the FOXN1 locus, thus enabling FOXN1 expressing cells to be identified on the basis of GFP expression. At differentiation day 30, differentiating cells were separated into three fractions using FACS. These fractions were the FOXN1+(GFP+)EpCAM+, FOXN1-(GFP-)EpCAM+, FOXN1-(GFP-)EpCAM-.

Project description:Reliable, scalable and time-efficient culture methods are required to fully realize the clinical and industrial applications of human pluripotent stem (hPS) cells. Here we present a completely defined, xeno-free medium that supports long-term propagation of hPS cells on uncoated tissue-culture plastic. The medium consists of the Essential 8 (E8) formulation supplemented with Inter-α-inhibitor (IαI), a human serum-derived protein, recently demonstrated to activate key pluripotency pathways in mouse PS cells. IαI efficiently induces attachment and long-term growth of both embryonic and induced hPS cell lines when added as a soluble protein to the medium at seeding. IαI-supplementation efficiently supports adaptation of feeder-dependent hPS cells to xeno-free conditions, clonal growth as well as single-cell survival in the absence of Rho-associated kinase inhibitor (ROCKi). This time-efficient and simplified culture method paves the way for large-scale, high-throughput hPS cell culture, and will be valuable for both basic research and commercial applications.
