Patterning ganglionic eminences in developing human brain organoids using morphogen gradient inducing device

ABSTRACT: In early neurodevelopment, the central nervous system is established through the coordination of various neural organizers directing tissue patterning and cell differentiation. Better recapitulation of morphogen gradient production and signaling will be crucial for establishing improved developmental models of the brainin vitro. Here, we developed a method by assembling polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) devices capable of generating a sustained chemical gradient to produce patterned brain organoids, which we termedMorphogen-gradientInducedBrainOrganoids (MIBOs). At 3.5 weeks, MIBOs replicated Dorsal-Ventral patterning observed in the Ganglionic Eminence (GE). Analysis of matured MIBOs through single-cell RNA sequencing revealed distinct Dorsal GE derived CALB2+ interneurons (INs), Medium Spiny Neurons (MSNs), and MGE derived cell types. Finally, we demonstrate long term culturing capabilities with MIBOs maintaining stable neural activity in cultures grown up to 5.5 months. MIBOs demonstrate a versatile approach for generating spatially patterned brain organoids for embryonic development and disease modeling.

Construction of a Mammalian Embryo from Embryonic Stem Cells Instructed by Morphogen Gradients

Project description:Generating properly organized and differentiated embryonic structures in vitro from aggregates of pluripotent cells remains a major challenge. In a living embryo, the interplay in between signaling molecules known as morphogens and their antagonists lead to gradients of activity that instruct cells about their fate, leading to patterning and morphogenesis. Here we show that experimentally engineering a morphogen signaling center within an aggregate of mouse pluripotent stem cells is sufficient to mimic the function of an embryo organizer and to trigger embryonic development. The resulting embryoids are remarkably well patterned along anterior-posterior and dorsal-ventral axes, generate three germ layers through a process of gastrulation and differentiate germ layer derivatives (including notochord, vasculature, neural tube, neural crest, endoderm) similar to an authentic embryo at E9-E9.5.

Gene expression profile of cells with unfit Wnt morphogen gradient during cell competition

Project description:Morphogen signalling forms an activity gradient and instructs cell identities in a signalling strength-dependent manner to pattern developing tissues. However, developing tissues also undergo dynamic morphogenesis, which may produce cells with unfit morphogen signalling and consequent noisy morphogen gradient. Here we show that a cell competition-related system corrects such noisy morphogen gradients. Zebrafish imaging analyses of the Wnt/β-catenin signalling gradient, which acts as a morphogen to establish embryonic anterior-posterior patterning, revealed that unfit cells with abnormal Wnt/β-catenin activity spontaneously appear and produce noise in the gradient. Communication between unfit and neighbouring fit cells via cadherin proteins stimulates apoptosis of the unfit cells by activating Smad signalling and reactive oxygen species production. This unfit cell elimination is required for proper Wnt/β-catenin gradient formation and consequent anterior-posterior patterning. Because this gradient controls patterning not only in the embryo but also in adult tissues, this system may support tissue robustness and disease prevention.

Local source of FGF8 specifies a fronto-temporal axis in engineered human brain organoids (PolarOids)

Project description:The establishment of the fronto-temporal axis in the developing human cortex is achieved by temporary signaling activity coming from secondary organizers. However, studying this process remains challenging due to the limited access to fetal material and inaccuracy of animal models in mimicking human-specific aspects. Although human brain organoids provide a potential solution to study this, their lack of axial organization does not supply the appropriate positional information needed to recapitulate detailed patterning processes in situ. Here, we develop a method that combines a cell line expressing the morphogen FGF8 fused to organoids engineered with PDMS moulds representing the exact length of the developing brain, resulting in the formation of polarized cortical organoids, or PolarOids. Thanks to a dose-sensitive reporter for anterior cortical differentiation, we carefully titrate and time the fusion dynamics to elicit a gradient in the patterned tissue while preserving neural activity as assessed through electrophysiology. We show that our localized FGF8 source is sufficient to trigger a distance-dependent transcriptional signature that matches fronto-temporal cortical fates in vivo. Lastly, we use these PolarOids to model a disease-relevant FGFR3 mutation and describe the transcriptional loss of axial gradient formation underlying a dramatic cortical phenotype observed in patients. As such, Polaroids provide a powerful tool to model hitherto neglected human diseases caused by defects in antero-posterior patterning in the brain

Transcription profiling of Drosophila embryo - comparison of Dorsal threshold outputs

Project description:Whole-Genome Analysis of Dorsal-Ventral Patterning in the Drosophila Embryo. The maternal Dorsal regulatory gradient initiates the differentiation of several tissues in the early Drosophila embryo. Whole-genome microarray assays identified as many as 40 new Dorsal target genes, which encode a broad spectrum of cell signaling proteins and transcription factors. Evidence is presented that a tissue-specific form of the NF-Y transcription complex is essential for the activation of gene expression in the mesoderm. Tissue-specific enhancers were identified for new Dorsal target genes, and bioinformatics methods identified conserved cis-regulatory elements for coordinately regulated genes that respond to similar thresholds of the Dorsal gradient. The new Dorsal target genes and enhancers represent one of the most extensive gene networks known for any developmental process. Stathopoulos et al., Cell, Vol 111, 687-701, November 2002.

Single-cell RNA-sequencing of mouse embryoids at Day 8

Project description:Generating properly organized and differentiated embryonic structures in vitro from aggregates of pluripotent cells remains a major challenge to overcome. In the living embryo, the interplay between morphogens and their antagonists set up gradients of activity that instruct cells about their fate, leading to patterning and morphogenesis. Here we show that experimentally engineering a morphogen signaling center within an aggregate of mouse pluripotent stem cells is sufficient to mimic in vitro the function of an embryo organizer and to trigger embryonic development. The resulting embryoids are extensively patterned along their anterior-posterior and dorsal-ventral axes, with formation of three germ layers through a process of gastrulation and differentiation of germ layer derivatives similar to those of a neurula-stage mouse embryo.
