Single cell RNA-seq post valproic acid exposure in human forebrain organoids

ABSTRACT: Human forebrain organoids (day 50) derived from U1M and U2F iPS cell lines were exposed with or without 1 mM valproic acid (VPA) for 72h. Organoids were then used for single cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq). Through data processing, ten major cell types including astrocyte, choroid plexus, endothelia, intermediate progenitor cells, medial ganglionic eminence, radial glia, immature neuron, excitatory and inhibitory neuron, and microglia-like cells were identified. We found that VPA affected gene expression in choroid plexus, excitatory neuron, immature neuron, and medial ganglionic eminence cells. The cell type-specific DEGs were enriched with mitotic nuclear division, multiple neuronal functions, and response to type I interferon and virus.
