Cell Density Regulates Neural Stem Cells of Cellular Contact and Differentiation in 3D Hydrogel Culture System

ABSTRACT: Neural Stem Cells (NSCs) of biological behaviors are frequently regulated by the three-dimensional (3D) niches that they located in. The impact of cell density cue inside niche on cellular outcomes are usually underestimated and understudied. In this study, a facile NSCs of 3D culture system was developed using collagen self-assembled fibril hydrogel. We used RNA sequencing and molecular biology technologies to investigate the NSCs of cell contacts and differentiations in developed 3D hydrogel culture system with low (0.75 million/mL), medium (1.5 million/mL), and high (3 million/mL) cell packing density. Compared with low cell density system, cytoskeletal spreading, gap junction, and tight junction mediated cell contacts were significantly improved in high cell density culture. Moreover, high cell density increased NSCs differentiation into immature (Tuj1) neuron, while there is no discrepancy of NSCs differentiation into astrocytes in different cell densities of 3D culturing system. This study provides new understanding in the regulation of 3D cultured NSCs behaviors through niche of cell density cue.

Interleukin-4 restores neurogenic plasticity of the primary human neural stem cells through suppression of Kynurenic acid production upon Amyloid-beta42 toxicity

Project description:The immune response is an important determinant of the plasticity and neurogenic capacity of neural stem cells (NSCs) upon amyloid-beta42 (Aβ42) toxicity in Alzheimer’s disease (AD). However, the direct effects of individual immuno-modulatory effectors on NSC plasticity remain to be elucidated and are the motivation for reductionist tissue-mimetic culture experiments. Using starPEG-Heparin hydrogel system that provides a defined 3D cell-instructive neuro-microenvironment culture system, sustains high levels of proliferative and neurogenic activity of human NSCs, and recapitulates the fundamental pathological consequences of Amyloid toxicity upon Aβ42 administration, we found that the anti-inflammatory cytokine interleukin-4 (IL4) restores the plasticity and neurogenic capacity of NSCs by suppressing the Aβ42-induced kynurenic acid-producing enzyme kynurenine aminotransferase 2 (KAT2), which we also found to be upregulated in the brains of the AD model, APP/PS1dE9 mouse. Our transcriptome analyses showed that IL4 treatment restores the expression levels of NSC and cortical subtype markers. Thus, our dissective neuro-microenvironment culture revealed IL4-mediated neuroinflammatory crosstalk for human NSC plasticity and predicted a new mechanistic target for therapeutic intervention in AD. Primary (from Gestation week 21 of human fetus) and induced (adult human fibroblast-derived) neural stem cells are cultured in 2D and 3D. Next generation sequencing is performed at 3 weeks of culture.

A novel hydrogel-based instructive biohybrid 3D culture system for modeling human neural stem cell plasticity, neurogenesis, neurodevelopment, and neurodegeneration

Project description:Meaningful models of human neural development and neurodegeneration are extremely important when exploring stem-cell-based regenerative therapies. However, existing 3D cultures fall short of being highly defined, modular, and controllable. Adapting a glycosaminoglycan-based, cell-responsive hydrogel platform, we stimulated primary and induced human neural stem cells (NSCs) to manifest neurogenic plasticity and form extensive neuronal networks in vitro. The 3D cultures exhibited neurotransmitter responsiveness, electrophysiological activity, and tissue-specific extracellular matrix (ECM) deposition. By whole transcriptome sequencing, we identified that 3D cultures express mature neuronal markers, and reflect the in vivo genetic program of mature cortical neurons compared to 2D cultures. Thus, our data suggest that our established 3D hydrogel culture supports the tissue-mimetic maturation of human neurons in an unprecedented manner. We modeled neurodegenerative conditions by treating the cultures with A?42 peptide and observed the known human pathological effects of Alzheimer?s disease including reduced NSC proliferation, impaired neuronal network formation, synaptic loss and failure in ECM deposition as well as elevated Tau hyperphosphorylation and formation of neurofibrillary tangles. We also determined the changes in transcriptomes of primary and induced NSC-derived neurons after A?42, providing a useful resource for further studies. Thus, our hydrogel-based human cortical 3D cell culture is a powerful platform for studying various aspects of neural development and neurodegeneration, as exemplified for A?42 toxicity and neurogenic stem cell plasticity.

3D hydrogel culture system for generation of fibrosis-associated macrophages

Project description:We identified a subpopulation of macrophages that are specifically enriched in interstitial lung disease. To better understand the functional relevance of this population with regards to disease pathogenesis by manipulating them in vitro, we attempted to induce this state in cell culture by prepurposing a published 3D hydrogel culture system originally designed to generate hematopoietic progenitor cells from PBMCs.

Mechanical confinement prevents ectopic platelet release

Project description:The aim of the project is to identify the genes in megakaryocytes whose expression is modified upon 3D methylcellulose hydrogel culture compared to liquid culture. Megakaryocytes are the precursor cells of platelets. We previously showed that growing megakaryocytes in 3D hydrogel strongly modifies their differentiation and their morphology, being closer to the one in situ. We were thus interested into identifying these mechanobiological pathways induced by the confinement. We found that 3D culture notably upregulated genes related to the Rho GTPase pathway.

Engineering Modular 3D Liver Culture Microenvironments In Vitro to Parse the Interplay between Biophysical and Biochemical Microenvironment Cues on Hepatic Phenotypes

Project description:In vitro models of human liver functions are used across a diverse range of applications in preclinical drug development and disease modeling, with particular increasing interest in models that capture facets of liver inflammatory status. This study investigates how the interplay between biophysical and biochemical microenvironment cues influence phenotypic responses, including inflammation signatures, of primary human hepatocytes (PHH) cultured in a commercially available perfused bioreactor. A 3D printing-based alginate microwell system was designed to form thousands of hepatic spheroids in a scalable manner as a comparator 3D culture modality to the bioreactor. Soft, synthetic extracellular matrix (ECM) hydrogel scaffolds with biophysical properties mimicking features of liver were engineered to replace polystyrene scaffolds, and the biochemical microenvironment was modulated with a defined set of growth factors and signaling modulators. The supplemented media significantly increased tissue density, albumin secretion, and CYP3A4 activity but also upregulated inflammatory markers. Basal inflammatory markers were lower for cells maintained in ECM hydrogel scaffolds or spheroid formats than polystyrene scaffolds, while hydrogel scaffolds exhibited the most sensitive response to inflammation as assessed by multiplexed cytokine and RNA-seq analyses. Together, these engineered 3D liver microenvironments provide insights for probing human liver functions and inflammatory response in vitro.

Reconstructing ocular surfaces with limbal stem cells supported by porous composite hydrogels

Project description:Simple limbal epithelial transplantation (SLET) is a novel in vivo limbal stem cells (LSCs) amplification technique used to reconstruct the ocular surface in¬¬¬ limbal stem cell deficiency (LSCD). However, SLET is limited to two-dimensional (2D) culture systems, and the tissue pieces are easily lost. The developments in hydrogel technology have provided the possibility of three-dimensional (3D) amplification of stem cells. In this study, an injectable photocrosslinkable hydrogel was developed based on porous gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA)/silk fibroin glycidyl methacrylate (SilMA), allowing the 3D culture of LSCs with enhanced expansion efficiency and simplified serial cell culture operations to construct an ocular surface with a uniform cell distribution. The porous GelMA/SilMA hydrogels demonstrated excellent transparency and good adhesion. More importantly, this hydrogel maintained the viability and supported the adhesion of the encapsulated rabbit LSCs and promoted their migration in vitro in 3D culture environments. Furthermore, the immunofluorescence staining results showed positive expression of CK3, CK12, P63 and CK14 in differentiated cells. The above results demonstrated that this porous GelMA/SilMA hydrogel 3D culture of LSCs is beneficial for maintaining the phenotype of stem cells and promoting their differentiation into corneal epithelial cells. These findings provide valuable insights into stem cell therapies and regenerative medicine for ocular surface reconstruction.
