Impact of prolonged culture on gene expression profiles of iPSC-derived kidney organoids

ABSTRACT: Kidney organoids serve as an invaluable platform for modeling hereditary renal diseases and developing therapeutic interventions. While various kidney organoid differentiation protocols have been developed, the protocol introduced by Morizane et al. was among the first to generate kidney organoids from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). By using a modified version of this protocol, we successfully generated kidney organoids in 21 days. Most studies on kidney organoids focus on early stages, typically between days 21 and 29, leaving the gene expression dynamics during prolonged culture less explored. In this study, we cultured healthy iPSC-derived kidney organoids for 22, 32, and 42 days and performed bulk RNA sequencing to investigate overall gene expression regulation. Kidney organoids contain over 15 distinct cell types, making them a complex model for studying cell-type-specific maturation. By comparing organoids at early (day 22), mid (day 32), and late (day 42) time points, we observed significant changes in gene expression, particularly in genes related to the extracellular matrix, alongside the downregulation of podocyte-specific genes. Notably, we confirmed the upregulation of podocyte-specific collagen IV genes (COL4A3 and COL4A4), which are critical for forming the glomerular basement membrane (GBM). Overall, these findings underscore the importance of maintaining organoids in culture for at least 15 days beyond the last day of differentiation (day 21) to ensure the development of a more mature GBM, essential for BM disease modeling such as Alport syndrome.

LC MS/MS of kidney organoids during differentiation from day 21 to 29

Project description:Kidney organoids are a valuable and innovative model to understand genetic diseases, kidney development and transcriptomic dynamics. However, their proteome has not been analyzed so far. Here, we analyzed the organoid proteome trajectory during differentiation. Genes involved in podocytopathies and cystic kidney diseases were abundantly expressed on protein level, distinguishing organoids from almost every available cell culture model. On their pathway to terminal differentiation, organoids developed increased deposition of extracellular matrix. Single cell transcriptomic analysis suggests that most changes locate to podocytes and early podocyte progenitors. This matrix deposition is different from commonly used animal models of glomerular disease. We grew organoids from two independent batches according to the Freedman protocol, and performed proteomic profiling (Freedman, Brooks et al. 2015, Czerniecki, Cruz et al. 2018). The IPSCs were differentiated for a three-week period until first spheroids from. From day 21 of the culture they were used in our experiments up until day 29, where off-target differentiation of organoids becomes an issue.

Single cell gene expression analysis of X-linked Alport syndrome kidney organoid models and isogenic controls

Project description:In study we investigated podocyte maturation, with a particular focus on type IV collagen maturation in the glomerular basement membrane (GBM) of kidney organoids over extended culture periods (comparing Control Organoid d22 R2 with Control Organoid d38). The secondary aim was to compare the gene expression profiles of podocytes in X-linked Alport syndrome (XLAS) organoid models with isogenic controls at an early culture time point (day 22). Two distinct batches of sample collection were conducted to capture early and later stages of GBM development. In the first batch, three libraries were generated by collecting 16 organoids from one isogenic control, one severe XLAS model, and one moderate XLAS model on day 22 of differentiation. In the second batch, two libraries were created to evaluate the impact of culture duration on GBM maturation by harvesting an additional isogenic control organoid at both day 22 and day 38 of culture. Organoids were dissociated using a two-step enzymatic and mechanical protocol to obtain single-cell suspensions, with cell viability ranging between 70% and 85%. This experimental design enabled a comparative analysis of GBM maturation dynamics between early and late time points and across different severities of XLAS. Findings from this study provided insights into the cellular mechanisms underlying GBM abnormalities in Alport syndrome and supported the potential for GBM maturation in kidney organoids over time.

Generation of nephronal cells from human pluripotent stem cells via renal-vesicle formation

Project description:Human pluripotent stem cells (hPSC) provide a possible source for generation of kidney cells and organoids applicable in regenerative medicine, disease modeling and drug screening. By analyzing the effect of different factors on renal differentiation, we established an 8-day-protocol that steered hPSCs to the renal lineage by a step-wise process, segmented into mesoderm induction, intermediate mesoderm specification and metanephric induction outlining renal organogenesis. The differentiated cells contain populations of SIX2+/CITED1+ metanephric mesenchyme- (MM) and of HOXB7+/GRHL2+ ureteric bud (UB)-like cells at the end of 6 days. Transcriptome analysis corroborated that the in vitro generated precursor cell types at day 8 resemble their renal vesicle counterparts in vivo. The cells were further differentiated in 2-dimensional culture into podocyte- and diverse tubular epithelial-like cell types, showing their nephrogenic potential. In 3-dimensional culture, the progenitors gave rise to renal vesicles, and upon mouse embryonic kidney re-aggregation they form tubular structures.

Proteomic analysis of kidney organoid supernatant during TNFa stimulation

Project description:Kidney organoids are a valuable and innovative model to understand genetic diseases, kidney development and transcriptomic dynamics. However, their proteome has not been analyzed so far. Here, we analyzed the organoid proteome after treatment of organoids with 5ng/mL TNFalpha for 24h and 48h compared with vehicle control (VC). Incubation of organoids (day 25 of differentiation) with TNFalpha led to an activation of NFkappaB signaling, and, interestingly, secretion of cytokines and complement components, alongside with extracellular matrix components. Interestingly, this signaling system directly links inflammatory signaling, production of cytokines and complement; and production of extracellular matrix. Thus, we provide a repository of kidney organoid proteins that revealed the potential to model pathophysiological pathways beyond genetic diseases. Organoids were grown according to the Freedman protocol (Freedman, Brooks et al. 2015, Czerniecki, Cruz et al. 2018). The IPSCs were differentiated for a three-week period until first spheroids from. We started TNFa stimulation at day 25, with the 24h stimulation ending on day 26 and the 48h stimulation ending on day 27. We chose day 25 because it lies centrally in the day 21 to day 29 window, where we observe reproducible spheroids with limited off-target differentiation of organoids, which becomes an issue after day 29.

Inhibiting NLRP3 Signaling in Aging Podocytes Improves Their Life- and Health-span

Project description:The decrease in the podocyte’s lifespan and health-span that typify healthy kidney aging cause a decrease in their normal structure, physiology and function. The ability to halt and even reverse these changes becomes clinically relevant when disease is superimposed on an aged kidney. RNA-sequencing of podocytes from middle-aged mice showed an inflammatory phenotype with increases in the NLRP3 inflammasome, signaling for IL2/Stat5, IL6 and TNF, interferon gamma response, allograft rejection and complement, consistent with inflammaging. Furthermore, injury-induced NLRP3 signaling in podocytes was further augmented in aged mice compared to young ones. The NLRP3 inflammasome (NLRP3, Caspase-1, IL1ß IL-18) was also increased in podocytes of middle-aged humans. Higher transcript expression for NLRP3 in human glomerular was accompanied by reduced podocyte density and increased global glomerulosclerosis and glomerular volume. Pharmacological inhibition of NLRP3 with MCC950, or gene deletion, reduced podocyte senescence and the genes typifying aging in middle-aged mice, which was accompanied by an improved podocyte lifespan and health-span. Moreover, modeling the injury-dependent increase in NLRP3 signaling in human kidney organoids confirmed the anti-senescence effect of MC9950. Finally, the impact of NLRP3 also impacted liver aging. Together, these results suggest a critical role for the NLRP3 inflammasome in podocyte and liver aging.

RNA-Seq profiling of day 7 and day 18 kidney organoids differentiated in two batches

Project description:The kidney differentiation protocol takes induced pluripotent stem cells through to kidney organoid via directed differentiation in approximately 25 days. The cells are grown in a monolayer in a dish for seven days and are subjected to growth factors before being pelleted on day seven. The organoids then continue to differentiate as a 3D structure, with at least 8 distinct kidney cell types identifiable around day 18. This data has been generated to investigate the reproducibility of the kidney differentiation protocol using RNA sequencing from day 18 organoids. Organoid differentiations were performed in two separate batches separated in time. The resulting RNA-seq data was analysed to identify genes with highly variable expression between batches.

Understanding the reproducibility and robustness of the kidney organoid differentiation protocol using RNA-seq

Project description:The kidney differentiation protocol takes induced pluripotent stem cells through to kidney organoid via directed differentiation in approximately 25 days. The cells are grown in a monolayer in a dish for seven days and are subjected to growth factors before being pelleted on day seven. The organoids then continue to differentiate as a 3D structure, with at least 8 distinct kidney cell types identifiable around day 18. Here we investigate the reproducibility of the kidney differentiation protocol using RNA sequencing from day 18 organoids. Organoid differentiations were performed in separate batches, and within one of the batches, from three separate vials. The resulting RNA-seq data was analysed to identify genes with highly variable expression between batches and vials.
