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 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.

Human muscle-derived CLEC14A-positive cells regenerate muscle independent of PAX7

Project description:Skeletal muscle stem cells, called satellite cells, are responsible for postnatal muscle growth, homeostasis and regeneration. Attempts to utilize the regenerative potential of muscle stem cells for therapeutic purposes so far failed. The transcription factor Pax7 defines satellite cells across species 1-4 . We previously established human PAX7-positive cell colonies with high regenerative potential 5 . We now identified PAX7-negative human muscle-derived cell colonies (PAX7neg) also positive for the myogenic markers desmin and MYF5. These included cells from a unique myopathic patient with rigid spine and respiratory insufficiency due to a homozygous PAX7 c.86-1G>A mutation (PAX7null). Single cell and bulk transcriptome analysis showed high intra- and inter-donor heterogeneity and revealed the endothelial cell marker CLEC14A to be highly expressed in PAX7null cells. All PAX7neg cell populations, including PAX7null, formed myofibers after transplantation into mice, and regenerated muscle after reinjury. Transplanted PAX7neg cells repopulated the satellite cell niche where they re-expressed PAX7. Strikingly, PAX7null cells expressing CLEC14A were also identified below the basal lamina. In summary, transplanted human cells do not depend on PAX7 for muscle regeneration. Thus, Pax7 is not a suitable marker for selection of optimal cells for muscle regenerative therapies.

Expression data from undifferentiated and iPS cells differentiated to a myogenic fate [hPAX7]

Project description:Here, we report the generation of human induced Pluripotent Stem (iPS) cell reporter line in which a venus fluorescent protein have been introduced into the PAX7 locus. We use microarrays to compare the transcriptome of PAX7-venus+ cells after 3 weeks of myogenic differentiation to that of undifferentiated iPS Satellite cells (SC) are muscle stem cells which can regenerate adult muscles upon injury. Most SC originate from PAX7-positive myogenic precursors set aside during development. While myogenesis has been studied in mouse and chicken embryos, little is known about human muscle development. Here, we use microarrays to compare the transcriptome of myogenic cells differentiated in vitro from human and mouse ES and iPS cells reporter cell lines. We generated fluorescent reporter lines in which a fluorescent protein was introduced into the loci coding for Pax7 (mouse ES and human iPS) or MYOG (human iPS). Mouse ES and human iPS cells were differentiated to the myogenic lineage in vitro for three weeks according to the protocols described in Chal et al, Nature Biotech 2015 and to Chal, Al Tanoury et al, Nature Protocols, 2016. Fluorescent Pax7 or MYOG-positive cells were FACS-sorted after 3-weeks of differentiation in vitro and we used Affymetrix microarrays to analyze the transcriptome of the purified mouse and human cell populations and compare it to the transcriptome of undifferentiated mouse ES or human iPS cells.

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.

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.
