3D porous microscaffold promoted hPSC-macrophage large-scale production by facilitating proliferation and self-renewal gene network

ABSTRACT: Macrophages play crucial roles in various physiological and pathological processes, including immune response and tissue homeostasis. Therefore, the importance of macrophages in preclinical study and clinical application is increasing, necessitating the development of more efficient human pluripotent stem cell(hPSCs) derived macrophage(iMac) differentiation methods to meet the growing demand. Utilizing three-dimensional porous microscaffold (PMS), we have devised a novel approach to induce hPSCs to generate a substantial number of macrophages. This method differs from existing hematopoietic differentiation methods for iMacs. Interestingly, it leads to the formation of a vascular-like hematopoiesis structure resembling the early aorta-gonad-mesonephros(AGM) during embryogenesis. The subsequent event involved the generation of a substantial quantity of macrophages undergoing robust proliferation. Multi-omics data analysis revealed that the 3D microenvironment may generate numerous ligands that promote macrophage proliferation and activate the expression of proliferation and self-renewal genes during iMac generation stage. The subsequent functional experiments demonstrated iMacs can serve as off-the-shelf products for the treatment of infection symptoms caused by drug-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae infections, and may allow for further innovative cell-based treatment strategies.

iPSC-derived macrophages: the differentiation protocol affects cell immune and metabolic characteristics and differentiation trajectories

Project description:The generation of human macrophages from induced pluripotent stem cells (iMacs) is a rapidly developing approach used to create disease models, screen drugs, study macrophage-pathogen interactions and develop macrophage-based cell therapy. To generate iMacs, different types of protocols have been suggested, all thought to result in the generation of similar iMac populations. However, direct comparison of iMacs generated using different protocols has not been performed. We have compared the productivity, the differentiation trajectories and the characteristics of iMacs generated using two widely used protocols and found significant differences in: (i) protocol productivity; (ii) dynamic changes in the expression of genes related to inflammation and lipid homeostasis following iMac differentiation; and (iii) the transcriptomic profiles of terminally differentiated iMacs, including the expression of genes involved in inflammatory response (e.g., CCL2, CCL8, NLRP2), antigen presentation (e.g., HLA class II, CD74, CFSF) and lipid homeostasis (e.g., LDRL, MSR1, OLR1, RETN). The results document for the first time the dependence of fine iMac characteristics on the type of differentiation protocol, which is important for further development of the field and various iMac applications.

Human iPSC-derived proinflammatory macrophages cause insulin resistance in an isogenic white adipose tissue microphysiological system

Project description:Chronic white adipose tissue (WAT) inflammation has been recognized as a critical early event in the pathogenesis of obesity-related disorders. This process is characterized by the increased residency of proinflammatory M1 macrophages in WAT. However, the lack of an isogenic human macrophage-adipocyte model has limited biological studies and drug discovery efforts, highlighting the need for human stem cell-based approaches. Here, human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) derived macrophages (iMACs) and adipocytes (iADIPOs) are cocultured in a microphysiological system (MPS). iMACs migrate toward and infiltrate into the 3D iADIPOs cluster to form crown-like structures (CLSs)-like morphology around damaged iADIPOs, recreating classic histological features of WAT inflammation seen in obesity. Significantly more CLS-like morphologies formed in aged and palmitic acid-treated iMAC-iADIPO-MPS, showing the ability to mimic inflammatory severity. Importantly, M1 (proinflammatory) but not M2 (tissue repair) iMACs induced insulin resistance and dysregulated lipolysis in iADIPOs. Both RNAseq and cytokines analyses revealed a reciprocal proinflammatory loop in the interactions of M1 iMACs and iADIPOs. Our iMAC-iADIPO-MPS thus successfully recreates pathological conditions of chronically inflamed human WAT, allowing us to study the dynamic inflammatory progression and identify clinically relevant therapies.

Induced pluripotent stem cell-derived macrophages as a model for human inflammasome signalling

Project description:Macrophage models are a mainstay of inflammasome research, however current human in vitro macrophage models have significant limitations. Here we generate induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived macrophages (iMacs) to study inflammasome signalling and benchmark them with human monocyte-derived macrophages (HMDMs). We confirm that iMacs express high levels of macrophage markers and are highly phagocytic. Whole cell proteomics analysis shows that iMacs express many inflammasome sensors and related proteins, and in functional assays iMacs respond to multiple inflammasome stimuli. The NLRP3 inflammasome is strongly activated in iMacs and we find that nigericin alone activates NLRP3. The non-canonical inflammasome does not require a priming step in iMacs as caspase-4 is constitutively expressed. High levels of NAIP/NLRC4 inflammasome activation are also observed in response to needle toxin. Finally, unlike HMDM, iMacs activate NLRP1. Therefore, we demonstrate that iMacs are a physiologically relevant and highly tractable model to study human inflammasome signalling and regulation.

Direct contact between iPSC-derived macrophages and hepatocytes drives reciprocal acquisition of Kupffer cell identity and hepatocyte maturation

Project description:As the resident tissue macrophage of the liver, Kupffer Cells (KC) play an important role in homeostasis and tissue support. However, current in-vitro liver models often ignore the contribution of these KCs toward the proper response and function of the tissue. This is especially relevant when we consider the implications of immune-mediated drug injuries. To address this issue, we developed an isogenic co-culture system utilizing iPSC-derived macrophages (iMacs) and hepatocytes (iHeps). Directly co-culturing iHeps with iMacs improved the differentiation and maturation of the iHeps, with significant downregulation of fetal hepatocyte markers as well as upregulation of cytochrome genes. Furthermore, the co-culture also imparted stronger KC identity to the iMacs in a contact-dependent manner, with iMacs cultured in iHep conditioned media alone showing weaker expression of key KC markers. Finally, challenging the iHep-iMac co-culture system with 7 paradigm hepatotoxic compounds showed dose-dependent cytokine response in the 5 compounds associated with immune-mediated liver injuries, while no significant changes were observed in the 2 compounds with no reported immune-dependent complications. This effect was also not recapitulated when the co-culture was instead performed with human peripheral blood monocyte-derived macrophages, suggesting that iMacs are essential for liver toxicity response. Taken together, our study shows not only the importance of macrophages in tissue systems, but also that the source of macrophages is critical to the development of accurate in-vitro human models.

5’tRNA-derived fragments modulate -cell homeostasis and islet macrophage activation in type 2 diabetes [beta]

Project description:During obesity and type 2 diabetes, pancreatic β-cells face chronic environmental stress, while islet-resident macrophages (iMACs) undergo metabolic reprogramming that exacerbates β-cell dysfunction. Stress-induced cleavage of transfer RNAs (tRNAs) generates tRNA-derived fragments (tRFs), whose role in this context is not fully understood. We identify elevated levels of 5’tRFGlu(CTC) and 5’tRFGly(GCC) in β-cells and iMACs from db/db mice and in islets from type 2 diabetic (T2D) patients. Notably, 5’tRFGlu(CTC) is also induced under prediabetic conditions and inversely correlates with insulin secretion. Lipotoxic stress triggers their production via Angiogenin-mediated cleavage. Blocking 5’tRFGlu(CTC) in islets protects against β-cell apoptosis and restores insulin secretion under palmitate stress. Using a β-cell/macrophage co-culture system, we show that β-cell contact shapes a unique macrophage phenotype (iMAC-like) that shifts upon palmitate exposure—recapitulating in vivo observations. Inhibiting 5’tRFGlu(CTC) in iMAC-like cells prevents this activation switch, reduces β-cell stress, and improves insulin secretion. Mechanistically, 5’tRFGlu(CTC) interacts with RNA-binding proteins to regulate transcriptional and post-transcriptional pathways linked to immune activation, ECM remodeling, neurogenesis, and oxidative stress. Our study identifies 5’tRFs as key mediators of islet microenvironment remodeling in diabetes, offering new insights into intercellular stress signaling in metabolic disease.
