Engineered human pluripotent stem cell-derived intestinal tissues with a functional enteric nervous system

ABSTRACT: The enteric nervous system (ENS) of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract controls many diverse functions including motility and epithelial permeability. Perturbations in ENS development or function are common, yet a human model to study ENS-intestinal biology is lacking. We have used a tissue engineering approach with pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) to generate human intestinal tissue containing a functional ENS. We recapitulated normal intestinal ENS development by combining PSC-derived neural crest cells (NCCs) with developing human intestinal organoids (HIOs). When cultured alone, NCCs had full differentiation potential in vitro, however when recombined with HIOs they differentiated into neurons and glial cells. NCC-derived ENS neurons self-assembled within the developing intestinal mesenchyme and exhibited neuronal activity as measured by rhythmic waves of calcium transients. ENS-containing HIOs grown in vivo formed neuroglial structures similar to a myenteric and submucosal plexus, formed interstitial cells of Cajal, and had an electro-mechanical coupling that regulated waves of propagating contraction. This is the first demonstration of a human PSC-derived intestinal tissue with a functional ENS.

Gene expression patterns in developing intestinal organoids exposed to prolonged FGF4- and Wnt-signaling

Project description:Based on the ability of FGF and/or WNT signaling to control posterior fate and intestinal lineage commitment, several groups have reported that treating mouse or human Pluripotent Stem Cell (PSC) derived definitive endoderm (DE) with small molecules or ligands that activate WNT signaling, or a combination of WNT and FGF signaling can induce an intestinal fate in human DE. In this current study, we leverage hESC derived human intestinal organoids (HIOs) to test the hypothesis that the duration of exposure to high levels of FGF and WNT signaling controls regional intestinal identity, with shorter durations generating intestine similar to the proximal duodenum, and longer durations distalizing HIOs to become similar to jejunum/ileum. Our results demonstrate that exposing human definitive endoderm (DE) cultures to short or long incubations of media that activate WNT and FGF siganling results in gene and protein expression profiles that are consistent with tissue that has been patterned into proximal (duodenum) or distal (ileum) small intestine, respectively.

In vitro maturation of human pluripotent stem cell-derived intestinal organoids

Project description:Human intestinal organoids (hIOs) derived from human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) have immense potential as a source of intestines. However, due to problems obtaining mature adult-like cells from hPSCs, effective strategies for the maturation of hIOs with improved functionalities must be developed. We established conditions that enable the in vitro maturation of hIOs derived from hPSCs, recapitulating the essential features of intestinal tissue. The maturity of the hPSC-derived hIOs was enhanced by the in vitro maturation in our co-culture system, evidenced by transcriptional changes observed in our microarray data. Global transcription of in vitro-matured hIOs is highly similar to that of adult human small intestine (hSI). Compared to control hIOs, in vitro-matured hIOs exhibited significant increases in the expression of intestinal maturation markers, major transporters, and key enzymes for drug absorption and first-pass metabolism.

In vitro maturation of intestinal organoids differentiated from wild type and STAT3 knock out human embryonic stem cells

Project description:Human intestinal organoids (hIOs) resemble the human intestine physiologically and structurally. We recently present an in vitro maturation technique for generating mature and functional hIOs from human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs). Here, we investigated the mechanisms of STAT3 for inducing in vitro maturation of hIOs. Using CRISPR/Cas9-mediated gene editing, STAT3 knockout (KO) human embryonic stem cell (hESC) lines were generated and characterized. By genome-wide microarray analyses, STAT3 KO hIOs showed markedly different profiles from the in vitro matured hIOs and human small intestine and the majority of genes, which are associated with intestinal development and functions, were downregulated by STAT3 KO. This study reveals important signaling pathways for the maturation of hIOs derived from hPSCs.

Loss of enteric neuronal Ndrg4 promotes colorectal cancer via increased release of Nid1 and Fbln2

Project description:The N-Myc Downstream-Regulated Gene 4 (NDRG4), a prominent biomarker for colorectal cancer (CRC), is specifically expressed by enteric neurons. Considering that nerves are important members of the tumor microenvironment, we here establish different Ndrg4 knockout (Ndrg4-/-) CRC models and an in-direct co-culture of primary enteric nervous system (ENS) cells and intestinal organoids to identify whether the ENS, via NDRG4, affects intestinal tumorigenesis. Linking immunostainings and gastrointestinal motility (GI) assays, we show that absence of Ndrg4 does not trigger any functional or morphological GI-abnormalities. However, combining in vivo, in vitro and quantitative proteomics data, we uncover that Ndrg4 knockdown is associated with enlarged intestinal adenoma development and that organoid growth is boosted by the Ndrg4-/- ENS cell secretome, which is enriched for Nidogen-1 (Nid1) and Fibulin-2 (Fbln2). Moreover, NID1 and FBLN2 are expressed in enteric neurons, enhance tumorigenic capacities of CRC cells and are enriched in human CRC secretomes. Hence, we provide evidence that the ENS, via loss of Ndrg4, is involved in colorectal pathogenesis and that ENS-derived Nidogen-1 and Fibulin-2 enhance colorectal carcinogenesis.

scRNA-seq of hPSC-derived human intestinal organoids with endogenous vascular endothelial cells

Project description:The development of human pluripotent stem cell (hPSC)- derived small intestinal organoids (HIOs) has led to an improved understanding of human intestinal development and physiology. HIOs generated using directed differentiation lack some cellular populations found in the native organ, including vasculature. We performed single cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) on approximately 13,000 cells at various timepoints (0, 3, 7, and 14 days) across HIO in vitro development and observed a transient population of endothelial-like cells (ECs) present within HIOs early during differentiation. Our data demonstrate that EC-like cells fail to be robustly maintained in long term culture. Here, we have developed a new directed differentiation approach to enhance co-differentiation and maintenance of ECs within HIOs, leading to the development of vascularized HIOs (vHIOs). scRNAseq was used to compare vHIOs to control HIOs after 59d months in culture.

Epithelial maturation of human intestinal organoids from pluripotency entirely in vitro

Project description:In vitro human pluripotent stem cell derived intestinal organoids (HIOs) are immature and lack for diverse differentiated secretory cell types. We would like to test the hypothesis whether addition of a mesenchyme secreting ligand which is depleted in canonical organoid culture media could increase the maturity and secretory cell type diversity in HIOs in vitro. To do this, we adapted the directed differentiation protocol of HIOs by growing HIOs in media with EGF, NOGGIN, R-spondin-1 (ENR) for 30 days, isolated epithelial cells with dispase, recovered them with adult intestinal enteroid media with Wnt-3A (WENR). Then we introduced the mesenchyme secreting ligand NRG1 to the established enteroid culture (WENR+NRG1) and compared them to the enteroids grown in control condition (WENR).

Maturing an Enteric Nervous System in Human Intestinal Organoid-derived Tissue-Engineered Small Intestine

Project description:Acquired or congenital disruption in enteric nervous system (ENS) development or function can lead to significant mechanical dysmotility. ENS restoration through cellular transplantation may provide a cure for enteric neuropathies. We have previously generated human pluripotent stem cell (hPSC)-derived tissue-engineered small intestine (TESI) from human intestinal organoids (HIO). However, HIO-TESI fails to develop an ENS. In a previous report of combined HIO with additional human enteric neural crest cells (ENCC), an ENS was established but lacked maturity. The purpose of our study is to establish a mature ENS derived exclusively from hPSC in HIO-TESI. hPSC-derived ENCC supplementation of HIO-TESI generates ENCC-HIO-TESI with mature submucosal and myenteric ganglia, repopulates excitatory, inhibitory, and sensory neurons, and restores the neuroepithelial circuit and neuron-dependent contractility and relaxation. Our findings validate a novel approach to restoring a functional hPSC-derived ENS in ENCC-HIO-TESI and implicate their potential for the treatment of enteric neuropathies.
