Project description:Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) are a valuable resource for neurological disease-modeling and drug discovery, due to their ability to differentiate into neurons reflecting the genetics of the patient from which they are derived. iPSC-derived cultures, however, are highly variable due to differences in culture conditions. We investigated the effect of iPSC passage number on differentiation to optimize the generation of functional, mature sensory neurons (iPSC-dSNs). Three iPSC lines were differentiated into iPSC-dSNs at passage numbers within each of the following ranges: low (LP; 5-10), middle (MP; 20-26), and high (HP; 30-38). Morphology and pluripotency of the parent iPSCs were assessed prior to differentiation at each passage number. iPSC-dSNs were evaluated based on electrophysiological properties and expression of key neuronal markers. All iPSC lines displayed the same morphology and were similarly pluripotent across passage numbers. iPSC-dSNs were also morphologically comparable across passage numbers. However, the expression levels of neuronal markers and an analysis of sodium channel function indicated greater maturity in LP iPSC-dSNs. Our results demonstrate that lower passage numbers may be better suited for differentiation into peripheral sensory neurons. Further studies are warranted to elucidate factors that may contribute to the variability associated with iPSC passage number.

Project description:Early neuronal development is a well-coordinated process in which neuronal stem cells differentiate into polarized neurons. This process has been well studied in classical non-human model systems, but to what extent this is recapitulated in human neurons remains unclear. To study neuronal polarization in human neurons, we cultured human iPSC-derived neurons, characterized early developmental stages, measured electrophysiological responses, and systematically profiled transcriptomic and proteomic dynamics during these steps. We found extensive remodeling of the neuron transcriptome and proteome, with altered mRNA expression of ~1,100 genes and different expression profiles of ~1,500 proteins during neuronal differentiation and polarization. We also identified a distinct stage in axon development marked by an increase in microtubule remodeling and apparent relocation of the axon initial segment from the distal to proximal axon. Our comprehensive characterization and quantitative map of transcriptome and proteome dynamics provides a solid framework for studying polarization in human neurons.

Project description:Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is an early onset neurodevelopmental disorder, which is characterized by disturbances of brain function and behavioral deficits in core areas of impaired reciprocal socialization, impairment in communication skills, and repetitive or restrictive interests and behaviors. ASD is known to have a significant genetic risk, but the underlying genetic variation can be attributed to hundreds of genes. The molecular and pathophysiologic basis of ASD remains elusive because of its genetic heterogeneity and complexity, its high comorbidity with other diseases, and the paucity of brain tissue for study. The invasive nature of collecting primary neuronal tissue from patients might be circumvented through reprogramming peripheral cells to induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), which are able to generate live neurons carrying the genetic variants of disease. This breakthrough allows us to access the cellular and molecular phenotypes of patients with âintrinsic autismâ, that is patients without known genetic disorders or identifiable syndromes or malformations. To do this, we studied a relatively homogeneous patient population of boys with intrinsic autism by excluding patients with known genetic disease or recognizable phenotypes or syndromes, as well as those with profound mental retardation or primary seizure disorders. We generated iPSCs from patients with intrinsic autism, their unaffected male siblings and age-, and sex-matched unaffected controls. And these stem cells were subsequently differentiated into electrophysiologically active neurons. The expression profile for autistic and their unaffected siblings' iPSC-derived neurons were compared. A distinct expression profile was found between autism and sib control. The significantly differentially expressed genes (> 2-fold, FDR < 0.05) in autistic iPSC-derived neurons were significantly enriched for processes related to synaptic transmission, such as neuroactive ligand-receptor signaling and extracellular matrix interactions (FDR < 0.05), and were significantly enriched for genes previously associated with ASD (p < 0.05). Our findings suggest approaches such as iPSC-derived neurons will be an important method to obtain tissue for study that appropriately recapitulates the complex dynamics of an autistic neural cell. We generated induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) from male patients with intrinsic autism, their unaffected male siblings, and age-, and sex-matched unaffected controls. And these stem cells were subsequently differentiated into electrophysiologically active neurons following 80 days of post-mitotic neural differentiation. These samples, including fibroblast, iPSC, iPSC-derived neural progenitors (NPC) and iPSC-derived neurons, were analyzed for the change of gene expression profile by whole genome microarray.

Project description:This experiment aimed to investigate whether exosomess released by IPSC-cardiomyocytes during hypoxia can positively influence cardiac electrophysiology and miRNA expression during hypoxic stress. A multielectrode array (MEA) system was used as an in vitro method of recording real-time cardiac electrophysiological activity, highlighting the biological effects facilitated by exosomes. Additionally, miRNA-sequencing was performed to compare miRNA expressions in exosome-preconditioned and non-preconditioned IPSC-cardiomyocytes, elucidating important modulators of cardiac electrophysiology.

Project description:Compared the global gene expression profiles of HD- and CON-iPSC-derived neurons We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression for comparing the global gene expression profiles of HD- and CON-iPSC-derived neurons and facilitating studies of medium spiny neurons (MSN)-degenerative processes of Huntington's Disease (HD). By using a step-wise in vitro differentiation protocol combining EB formation, neural induction by small molecules, treatment with inhibitors of the TGFß pathway (SB431542) and the BMP pathway (LDN193189), and mechanical isolation/purification of neural progenitors and neurons, we induced 60-70% of control iPSCs or HD-iPSCs to differentiate into GABA- and DARPP-32- double positive neurons.

Project description:Our understanding of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) pathogenesis is currently limited by difficulties in obtaining live neurons from patients and the inability to model the sporadic form of AD. It may be possible to overcome these challenges by reprogramming primary cells from patients into induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). We reprogrammed primary fibroblasts from two patients with familial AD (both caused by a duplication of APP1, APPDp), two with sporadic AD (sAD1, 2) and two non-demented control individuals (NDCs) into iPSC lines. Neurons from differentiated cultures were FACS-purified and characterized. Purified cultures contained >90% neurons, clustered with fetal brain mRNA samples by microarray criteria, and could form functional synaptic contacts. Virtually all cells exhibited normal electrophysiological activity. Relative to controls, iPSC-derived, purified neurons from the two APPDp patients and patient sAD2 exhibited significantly higher levels of secreted Aβ1-40, phospho-tauThr231 (pTau) and active GSK3β (aGSK3β). Neurons from APPDp and sAD2 patients also accumulated large Rab5-positive early endosomes compared to controls. Treatment of purified neurons with β-secretase inhibitors, but not g-secretase inhibitors, caused significant reductions in pTau and aGSK3β levels. These results suggest a direct relationship between APP proteolytic processing, but not Aβ, in GSK3β activation and tau phosphorylation in human neurons. Additionally, we observed that neurons with the genome of one sAD patient exhibited the phenotypes seen in familial AD samples. More generally, we demonstrate that iPSC technology can be used to observe phenotypes relevant to AD, even though it can take decades for overt disease to manifest in patients.

Project description:Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a severe neurodegenerative condition characterized by loss of motor neurons in the brain and spinal cord. Expansions of a hexanucleotide repeat (GGGGCC) in the noncoding region of the C9ORF72 gene are the most common cause of the familial form of ALS (C9-ALS), as well as frontotemporal lobar degeneration and other neurological diseases. How the repeat expansion causes disease remains unclear, with both loss of function (haploinsufficiency) and gain of function (either toxic RNA or protein products) proposed. We report a cellular model of C9-ALS with motor neurons differentiated from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) derived from ALS patients carrying the C9ORF72 repeat expansion. No significant loss of C9ORF72 expression was observed, and knockdown of the transcript was not toxic to cultured human motor neurons. Transcription of the repeat was increased, leading to accumulation of GGGGCC repeat–containing RNA foci selectively in C9-ALS iPSC-derived motor neurons. Repeat-containing RNA foci colocalized with hnRNPA1 and Pur-?, suggesting that they may be able to alter RNA metabolism. C9-ALS motor neurons showed altered expression of genes involved in membrane excitability including DPP6, and demonstrated a diminished capacity to fire continuous spikes upon depolarization compared to control motor neurons. Antisense oligonucleotides targeting the C9ORF72 transcript suppressed RNA foci formation and reversed gene expression alterations in C9-ALS motor neurons. These data show that patient-derived motor neurons can be used to delineate pathogenic events in ALS. Transcriptome profiling from iPSC derived motor neurons compared to controls

Project description:Dravet syndrome is a developmental and epileptic encephalopathy characterized by seizures, behavioral abnormalities, developmental deficits, and elevated risk of sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP). Most patient cases are caused by de novo loss-of-function mutations in the gene SCN1A, causing a haploinsufficiency of the alpha subunit of the voltage-gated sodium channel NaV1.1. Within the brain, NaV1.1 is primarily localized to the axons of inhibitory neurons, and decreased NaV1.1 function is hypothesized to reduce GABAergic inhibitory neurotransmission within the brain, driving neuronal network hyperexcitability and subsequent pathology. We have developed a human in vitro model of Dravet syndrome using differentiated neurons derived from patient iPSC and enriched for GABA expressing neurons. Neurons were plated on high definition multielectrode arrays (HD-MEAs), permitting recordings from the same cultures over the 7-weeks duration of study at the network, single cell, and subcellular resolution. Using this capability, we characterized the features of axonal morphology and physiology. Neurons developed increased spiking activity and synchronous network bursting. Recordings were processed through a spike sorting pipeline for curation of single unit activity and to assess the effects of pharmacological treatments. At 7-weeks, the application of the GABAAR receptor agonist muscimol eliminated network bursting, indicating the presence of GABAergic neurotransmission. To identify the role of NaV1.1 on neuronal and network activity, cultures were treated with a dose-response of the NaV1.1 potentiator δ-theraphotoxin-Hm1a. This resulted in a strong increase in firing rates of putative GABAergic neurons, an increase in the intraburst firing rate, and eliminated network bursting. These results validate that potentiation of NaV1.1 in Dravet patient iPSC-derived neurons results in decreased firing synchrony in neuronal networks through increased GABAergic neuron activity and support the use of human neurons and HD-MEAs as viable high-throughput electrophysiological platform to enable therapeutic discovery.
