An Engineered Multicellular Stem Cell Niche for the 3D Derivation of Human Myogenic Progenitors from iPSCs

ABSTRACT: Fate decisions in the embryo are controlled by a plethora of microenvironmental interactions in a three-dimensional niche. To investigate whether aspects of this microenvironmental complexity can be engineered to direct myogenic human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC) differentiation, we screened cell types present in the developmental or adult stem cell niche in heterotypic suspension embryoids. We identified embryonic endothelial cells and fibroblasts as highly permissive for myogenic specification of hiPSCs. After two weeks of sequential Wnt and FGF pathway induction, these three-component embryoids (iTCEs) are enriched in Pax7 positive embryonic-like myogenic progenitors (eMPs) that can be isolated by flow cytometry. Myogenic differentiation of hiPSCs in iTCEs relies on a specialized structural microenvironment and depends on MAPK, PI3K/AKT, and Notch signaling. After transplantation in a mouse model of Duchenne muscular dystrophy, eMPs repopulate the stem cell niche, reactivate after repeated injury and, compared to adult human myoblasts, display enhanced fusion and lead to stronger muscles. Altogether, we provide a two-week protocol for efficient and scalable suspension-based 3D derivation of Pax7 positive myogenic progenitors from hiPSCs.

An Engineered Multicellular Stem Cell Niche for the 3D Derivation of Human Myogenic Progenitors from iPSCs

Project description:Fate decisions in the embryo are controlled by a plethora of microenvironmental interactions in a three-dimensional niche. To investigate whether aspects of this microenvironmental complexity can be engineered to direct myogenic human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC) differentiation, we screened cell types present in the developmental or adult stem cell niche in heterotypic suspension embryoids. We identified embryonic endothelial cells and fibroblasts as highly permissive for myogenic specification of hiPSCs. After two weeks of consecutive Wnt and FGF pathway induction, three-component embryoids (iTCEs) containing these cell types yielded between 40-50% human Pax7 positive embryonic-like myogenic progenitors (eMPs). In a secondary screen we identified cell surface markers allowing for flow cytometric isolation of >99% of the Pax7 positive eMP population from iTCEs. Myogenic differentiation of hiPSCs in iTCEs relies on a specialized structural microenvironment and activates the MAPK, PI3K/AKT, and Notch pathways. After transplantation in a mouse model Duchenne muscular dystrophy, eMPs repopulate the stem cell niche, reactivate after repeated injury and, compared to adult human myoblasts, display enhanced fusion and lead to stronger muscles. Altogether, we provide a highly efficient and scalable suspension-based protocol for 3D derivation of Pax7 positive myogenic progenitors from hiPSCs within a two-week time window.

A human iPSC-derived multilineage liver organoid model containing Kupffer cells to study human sepsis-associated liver dysfunction [hiPSC-EMP-KC-pKC]

Project description:To incorporate Kupffer cells into hiPSC-LOs, we differentiated erythro-myeloid progenitors (EMPs) from hiPSCs. We compares the gene expression profiles of hiPSC-EMPs with cord-blood hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (CB-HSPCs); and EMP-generated Kupffer cells (EMP-KC) with human primary Kupffer cells.

Myogenic Progenitor Cell Lineage Specification by CRISPR/Cas9-based Transcriptional Activators

Project description:Engineered CRISPR/Cas9-based transcriptional activators can potently and specifically activate endogenous fate-determining genes to direct differentiation of pluripotent stem cells. Here, we demonstrate that endogenous activation of the PAX7 transcription factor results in stable epigenetic remodeling and directly reprograms human pluripotent stem cells into skeletal myoblast progenitor cells. Compared to the exogenous overexpression of PAX7 cDNA, we find that endogenous activation results in the generation of more proliferative myogenic progenitors that can maintain PAX7 expression over multiple passages in serum-free conditions while preserving the capacity for terminal myogenic differentiation. Transplantation of human myogenic progenitors derived from endogenous activation of PAX7 into immunodeficient mice resulted in a greater number of human dystrophin+ myofibers compared to exogenous PAX7 overexpression. RNA-seq analysis also revealed transcriptome-wide differences between myogenic progenitors generated via CRISPR-based endogenous activation of PAX7 and exogenous PAX7 cDNA overexpression. These studies demonstrate the utility of CRISPR/Cas9-based transcriptional activators for progenitor cell specification and their potential for regenerative medicine.

Pluripotent stem cell-derived myogenic progenitors remodel their molecular signature upon in vivo engraftment [Microarray]

Project description:Optimal cell-based therapies for the treatment of muscle degenerative disorders should not only regenerate fibers, but provide a quiescent satellite cell pool ensuring long-term maintenance and regeneration. Conditional expression of Pax3/Pax7 in differentiating pluripotent stem cells (PSC) allows the generation of myogenic progenitors endowed with satellite cell-like abilities. To identify the molecular determinants underlying their regenerative potential, we performed transcriptome analyses of these cells along with primary myogenic cells from several developmental stages. Here we show that in vitro generated PSC-derived myogenic progenitors possess a molecular signature similar to embryonic/fetal myoblasts. However, compared to fetal myoblasts, following transplantation they show superior myofiber engraftment and ability to seed the satellite cell niche, respond to multiple re-injuries and contribute to long-term regeneration. Upon engraftment, the transcriptome of Pax3/Pax7-induced PSC-derived myogenic progenitors changes dramatically, acquiring similarity to that of satellite cells, particularly in genes involved in extracellular matrix remodeling. Single cell profiling reveals that these changes are induced, not selected, by the in vivo environment. These findings demonstrate that Pax3/Pax7-induced PSC-derived myogenic progenitors possess proliferative and migratory abilities characteristic of earlier developmental stages, and an intrinsic ability to respond to environmental cues upon skeletal muscle regeneration.

Identification of PAX7-induced transcriptional changes and PAX7 genomic binding during skeletal myogenic differentiation of H9 embryonic stem cells

Project description:Skeletal myogenic commitment of human pluripotent cells can be achieved by doxycycline-inducible expression of the transcription factor PAX7. To gain further insights on PAX7 function during this process, we performed a time course whole transcriptome analysis of differentiating H9 human embryonic stem cells from doxycycline-treated and untreated cultures. In addition, we identified the genomic binding of PAX7 in one of the selected time point (referred as PAX7+ proliferating myogenic progenitors).

Highly contractile 3D tissue engineered skeletal muscles from human iPSCs reveal similarities with primary myoblast-derived tissues

Project description:Skeletal muscle research is transitioning towards 3D tissue engineered in vitro models reproducing muscle’s native architecture and supporting measurement of functionality. Human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) offer high yields of cells for differentiation. It has been difficult to differentiate high quality, pure 3D muscle tissues from hiPSCs that show contractile properties comparable to primary myoblast-derived tissues. Here, we present a transgene-free method for the generation of purified, expandable myogenic progenitors (MPs) from hiPSCs grown under feeder-free conditions. We defined a protocol with optimal hydrogel and medium conditions that allowed production of highly contractile 3D tissue engineered skeletal muscles with forces similar to primary myoblast-derived tissues. Gene expression and proteomic analysis between hiPSC-derived and primary myoblast-derived 3D tissues revealed a similar expression profile of proteins involved in myogenic differentiation and sarcomere function. The protocol should be generally applicable for the study of personalized human skeletal muscle tissue in health and disease.

Direct reprogramming of mouse fibroblasts into functional skeletal muscle progenitors

Project description:Skeletal muscle harbors quiescent stem cells termed satellite cells and proliferative progenitors termed myoblasts, which play pivotal roles during muscle regeneration. However, current technology does not allow permanent capture of these cell populations in vitro. Here, we show that ectopic expression of the myogenic transcription factor MyoD, combined with exposure to small molecules, reprograms mouse fibroblasts into expandable induced myogenic progenitor cells (iMPCs). iMPCs express key skeletal muscle stem and progenitor cell markers including Pax7 and Myf5 and give rise to Dystrophin-expressing myofibers upon transplantation, a subset of which maintain Pax7 expression in vivo and sustain serial regenerative responses. Similar to satellite cells, iMPCs originate from Pax7+ cells and require Pax7 itself for maintenance. Finally, we show that iMPCs can be established from muscle tissue following small molecule exposure alone. This study thus reports on a robust approach to derive expandable myogenic stem/progenitor-like cells from multiple differentiated cell types.
