BMP, MEK and WNT modulation with NGN2 expression for rapid neuron differentiation from hiPSC amenable to regional patterning [BMWi_freeze]

ABSTRACT: hiPSCs aid in studying neurological diseases and developing therapies. Interventions, such as dual SMAD inhibition or NGN2 overexpression (“iNGN2”), can direct hiPSCs towards neurons. Starting directly from hiPSCs, iNGN2 shortens the time to a neuronal stage but leads to neurons resembling peripheral or posterior fates. We applied an accelerated induction paradigm that is only dependent on inhibition of BMP, MEK and WNT pathways (“BMWi”), to commit iPSCs before to rostral neuroectoderm. The resulting neurons showed strong expression of telencephalic, cortical markers, with decreased levels of peripheral and posterior marker genes compared to iNGN2 alone. The resulting cortical neurons are suitable for a tau aggregation assay. Furthermore, we could demonstrate that during BMWi treatment, the cells are amenable to regional patterning clues. This allowed the generation of neurons from different regions of the CNS and PNS, which will significantly improve existing in vitro models for neurodegenerative disorders.

BMP, MEK and WNT modulation with NGN2 expression for rapid generation of hiPSC-derived neurons amenable to regional patterning [snRNA-seq]

Project description:hiPSC are a promising tool for studying neurological diseases and developing therapies for neurodegenerative diseases. Differentiation of hiPSC into neurons can be achieved by dual SMAD inhibition (dSMADi) or induced NGN2 overexpression (“iNGN2”). Starting directly from hiPSC, iNGN2 shortens the time to a neuronal stage but leads to neurons partially resembling peripheral or posterior fates while dSMADi more faithfully recapitulates forebrain development. To modify the iNGN2 paradigm, we applied an accelerated induction paradigm that is dependent on inhibition of BMP, MEK and WNT pathways (“BMWi”), to commit hiPSC into a rostral neuroectoderm fate before iNGN2. The resulting neurons showed strong expression of telencephalic and cortical markers, with decreased levels of peripheral and posterior marker genes compared to iNGN2 alone. The resulting cortical neurons are suitable for a tau aggregation assay. Furthermore, we could demonstrate that during BMWi treatment, the cells are amenable to additional regional patterning cues. This allowed the generation of neurons from different regions of the CNS and PNS, which will significantly facilitate in vitro modeling of a range of neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative disorders.

Ngn2 induces diverse neuronal lineages from human pluripotency

Project description:Human neurons engineered from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) through Neurogenin 2 (Ngn2) overexpression are widely used to study neuronal differentiation mechanisms and to model neurological diseases. However, the differentiation paths and heterogeneity of emerged neurons have not been fully explored. Here we used single-cell transcriptomics to dissect the cell states that emerge during Ngn2 overexpression across a time course from pluripotency to neuron functional maturation. We find a substantial molecular heterogeneity in the neuron types generated, with at least two populations that express genes associated with neurons of the peripheral nervous system. Neuron heterogeneity is observed across multiple iPSC clones and lines from different individuals. We find that neuron fate acquisition is sensitive to Ngn2 expression level and the duration of Ngn2 forced expression. Our data reveals that Ngn2 dosage can regulate neuron fate acquisition, and that Ngn2-iN heterogeneity can confound results that are sensitive to neuron type.

All-defined NGN2 neuron protocol reveals multifaceted signatures of neuronal maturation [bulk_media]

Project description:Direct conversion of iPSCs into neurons by NGN2 over-expression is a popular method for disease modeling. Here we report a standardized method to generate functional excitatory cortical neurons using clonal, targeted engineered iPSC lines and defined reagents. We demonstrate that our protocol generates consistent excitatory cortical neurons at scale. These cultures can be maintained healthily for at least 150 days and expresses the majority of the GWAS genes found in autism, Parkinson’s disease, and Alzheimer’s disease. Comprehensive temporal omics, functional, and morphological profiling demonstrated continued progression of neuronal maturation. Deep functional characterization through transcriptomic, imaging, and functional assays revealed the coordinated action of multiple pathways in neuronal maturation. Our method and profiling data can serve as reference for developing human in vitro neuronal models for disease modeling.

Extended NGN2 Expression in iPSCs Dramatically Enhances Purity of Neuronal Cultures

Project description:iPSC-derived neuronal cultures can provide valuable insights into the pathogenesis of neurological disease. However, single cell iPSC clones with NGN2 and mCherry show spontaneous loss of mCherry fluorescence, leading to questions about the homogeneity of neurons derived from apparently heterogeneous iPSCs. We find that mCherry silencing does not influence iNeurons with two lines of evidence. First, using single-cell proteomics, we found that spontaneous mCherry silencing does not drive heterogeneity in iPSCs. Second, bulk proteomics and immunofluorescence analysis indicated that iNeurons from iPSCs expressing or lacking mCherry both resemble cortical glutamatergic neurons. The primary confounding factor in iNeuron generation was that suboptimal neuronal conversion led to cell aggregates comprised of actively proliferating neuronal progenitor cells and astrocytes as the culture developed. Our results indicate that extended NGN2 dosage substantially improves neuron purity

Fully defined NGN2 neuron protocol reveals diverse signatures of neuronal maturation

Project description:NGN2-driven iPSC-to-neuron conversion is a popular method for human neurological disease modeling. In this study, we report a fully standardized approach for generating functional excitatory cortical neurons. This method utilizes clonal, targeted-engineered iPSC lines and employs fully defined reagents. We demonstrate that our protocol generates consistent excitatory cortical neurons at scale. Comprehensive temporal omics, electrophysiological, and morphological profilings indicate the continued progression of neuronal maturation for at least 150 days. Deep quantitative characterizations through transcriptomic, imaging, and functional assays reveal coordinated actions of multiple pathways driving neuronal maturation. The neurons express the majority of the key risk genes in Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and autism, demonstrating the relevance of our protocol in modeling human neurological disorders. This well-defined method, profiling data, and functional characterization provide a solid and reliable framework for developing human in vitro neuronal models for disease modeling.
