Human fetal brain self-organizes into long-term expanding organoids (bulk RNA-Seq)

ABSTRACT: Human brain development involves an orchestrated, massive neural progenitor expansion while a multi-cellular tissue architecture is established. Continuously expanding organoids can be grown directly from multiple somatic tissues, yet to date brain organoids can solely be established from pluripotent stem cells. Here, we show that healthy human fetal brain in vitro self-organizes into organoids (FeBOs), phenocopying aspects of in vivo cellular heterogeneity and complex organization. FeBOs can be expanded over long time periods. FeBO growth requires maintenance of tissue integrity, which ensures production of a tissue-like extracellular matrix (ECM) niche, ultimately endowing FeBO expansion. FeBO lines derived from different areas of the central nervous system (CNS), including dorsal and ventral forebrain, preserve their regional identity and allow to probe aspects of positional identity. Using CRISPR-Cas9, we showcase the generation of syngeneic mutant FeBO lines for the study of brain cancer. Taken together, FeBOs constitute a complementary CNS organoid platform.

Transcriptome profiling of organoids from the human and murine gastrointestinal tract

Project description:The epithelial layer of the gastrointestinal tract is the body’s first line of defense against gut pathogens. However, our current understanding of the innate immune response of the epithelial layer is limited. For this study, we used gastrointestinal organoids which have the advantage of being primary, non-transformed epithelium that retains organ-specific characteristics in culture, and also that they lack any confounding immune cells. We systematically profiled the transcriptomes of gastrointestinal epithelial cells using a newly generated biobank of human and murine GI organoids grown from tissue-resident stem cells, providing an atlas of gene expression along the GI tract of both species. RNA sequencing of all lines confirmed the preservation of tissue identity, and in addition revealed extensive organization of innate immune signaling components along the cephalocaudal axis, endowing a specific innate immune profile to each segment.

Parechovirus infection in human brain organoids: host innate inflammatory response and not neuro-infectivity correlates to neurologic disease

Project description:Picornaviruses are a leading cause of central nervous system (CNS) infections. While genotypes such as Parechovirus A3 (PeV-A3) and echovirus 11 (E11) can elicit severe neurological disease, the highly prevalent PeV-A1 is not associated with CNS disease. Here, we expand our current understanding of these differences in PeV-A CNS disease using human brain organoids and clinical isolates of PeV-A genotypes. Our data indicates that PeV-A1 and A3 specific differences in neurological disease are not due to infectivity of CNS cells as both viruses productively infect brain organoids with a similar cell tropism. Proteomic analysis showed that PeV-A infection significantly alters the host cell metabolism. The inflammatory response following PeV-A3 (and E11 infection) was significantly more potent than that upon PeV-A1 infection. Collectively, our findings align with clinical observations and suggest a role for inflammatory-mediated neurology, rather than viral replication, in PeV-A3 (and E11) infection.

Molecular features of the measles virus viral fusion complex that favor infection and spread in the brain [mouse]

Project description:A measles virus (MeV) isolate bearing a single amino acid change in the fusion protein (F) -- L454W -- was identified in two patients who died of MeV central nervous system (CNS) infection. We analyzed whether this mutation confers an advantage over wild type virus in the CNS, thereby contributing to disease in these patients. Using murine ex vivo organotypic brain cultures and human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived brain organoids, we show that specific CNS adaptive mutations in F result in augmented spread of virus ex vivo and that this is associated with an enhanced innate immune response. The spread of virus in brain organoids is blocked by an inhibitory peptide that targets F, confirming that dissemination in the brain tissue is attributable to F. A single mutation in MeV F thus alters the fusion complex to render the virus more neuropathogenic, allowing it to propagate in the face of the innate immune response.

Small RNA profiles of brain tissue and brain tissue-derived extracellular vesicles in simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) infection and SIV-related central nervous system pathology

Project description:Antiretroviral treatment regimens can effectively control HIV replication and some aspects of disease progression. However, molecular events in end-organ diseases such as central nervous system (CNS) disease are not yet fully understood, and routine eradication of latent reservoirs is not yet in reach. Brain tissue-derived extracellular vesicles (bdEVs) act locally in the source tissue and may indicate molecular mechanisms in HIV CNS pathology. Regulatory RNAs from EVs have emerged as important participants in HIV disease pathogenesis. Using brain tissue and bdEVs from the simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) model of HIV disease, we profiled messenger RNAs (mRNAs) and microRNAs (miRNAs), seeking to identify possible networks of RNA interaction in SIV infection and neuroinflammation.

Canonical Wnt signaling exerts bidirectional control on choroid plexus epithelial development

Project description:The choroid plexus (CP) secretes cerebrospinal fluid and is critical for the development and function of the brain. In the telencephalon, the CP epithelium (CPe) arises from the Wnt- and Bmp- expressing cortical hem. We examined the role of canonical Wnt signaling in CPe development and report that the mouse and human embryonic CPe expresses molecules in this pathway. Either loss of function or constitutive activation of β-catenin, a key mediator of canonical Wnt signaling, causes a profound disruption of mouse CPe development. Loss of β-catenin results in a dysmorphic CPe, while constitutive activation of β-catenin causes a loss of CPe identity and a transformation of this tissue to a hippocampal-like identity. Aspects of this phenomenon are recapitulated in human embryonic stem cell (hESC)-derived organoids. Our results indicate that canonical Wnt signaling is required in a precisely regulated manner for normal CP development in the mammalian brain.

R-spondin 1 and noggin facilitate expansion of resident stem cells from non-damaged gallbladders.

Project description:Pioneering studies within the last few years have allowed the in vitro expansion of tissue-specific adult stem cells from a variety of endoderm-derived organs, including the stomach, small intestine and colon. Here we derived organoids from mouse gallbladder tissue (gallbladder organoids), from mouse liver (including the extrahepatic biliary ducts and gallbladder; liver organoids) and from mouse small intestine tissue (intestinal organoids). RNA was prepared from these organoids and used to assay expression of 21,258 genes using Affymetrix gene expression arrays. RNA was also prepared from mouse gallbladder, liver and small intestine tissues and used to assay gene expression in these tissues. Finally, gallbladder organoids were induced to differentiate by removing R-spondin 1 and noggin from the culture media and subjected to gene expression array analysis. RNA was extracted from mouse gallbladder organoids, differentiated gallbladder organoids, liver organoids, small intestine organoids, gallbladder tissue, liver tissue and small intestine tissue and then used for hybridization of Affymetrix gene expression microarrays.

Brain organoids reproducibly generate the cellular diversity of the human cerebral cortex

Project description:Stem cell-derived human brain organoids hold an unprecedented degree of promise as experimental models of the human brain. They are, however, plagued by poor reproducibility and high organoid-to-organoid variability. Here, we show that a human organoid model pre-patterned to form the dorsal forebrain and cultured for over six months can achieve reproducible generation of a rich diversity of cell types appropriate for the human cerebral cortex. Using single-cell RNA-sequencing of 166,242 cells isolated from 21 individual organoids, we find that 95% of the organoids generated a virtually indistinguishable compendium of cell types, through the same temporal trajectories, and with organoid-to-organoid variability that is comparable to that of individual endogenous brains. The data demonstrate that reproducible development of complex central nervous system (CNS) cellular diversity does not require the context of the embryo, and that establishment of terminal cell identity is a highly constrained process that can emerge from diverse stem cell origins and growth environments.
