Project description:In our study we sought to develop cultures highly enriched for self-renewing human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) with an early post-implantation phenotype, capturing the formative pluripotency phase in vitro. Our results demonstrate that hPSCs cultured on LN111 in defined conditions (LN-hPSCs) generate cultures highly enriched for genetically stable, self-renewing hPSCs exhibiting properties similar to the early-post implantation epiblast, including competence to give rise to the germ cell lineage. To analyze the global transcriptome of LN-hPSCs in comparison with conventional/primed and naive hPSCs, we performed RNA-seq of the three hPSC lines cultured under LN, primed, and naïve conditions.

Project description:Human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) are a promising source of cells for applications in regenerative medicine. Directed differentiation of hPSCs into specialized cells such as spinal motoneurons or midbrain dopamine (DA) neurons has been achieved. However the effective use of hPSCs for cell therapy has lagged far behind. While mouse PSC-derived DA neurons have shown efficacy in models of Parkinson’s disease, DA neurons derived from human PSCs generally display poor in vivo performance. There are also considerable safety concerns for hPSCs related to their potential for teratoma formation or neural overgrowth. Here we present a novel floor plate-based strategy for the derivation of human DA neurons that efficiently engraft, suggesting that past failures were due to incomplete specification rather than a specific vulnerability of the cells. Midbrain floor plate precursors are derived from hPSCs in days following exposure to small molecule activators of sonic hedgehog (SHH) and canonical WNT signaling. Engraftable midbrain DA neurons are obtained by day 25 and can be maintained in vitro for several months. Extensive in vitro molecular profiling, biochemical and electrophysiological data define developmental progression and confirm identity of hPSC-derived midbrain DA neurons. In vivo survival and function is demonstrated in PD animal models in three host species. Long-term engraftment in 6-OHDA-lesioned mouse and rats demonstrates robust survival of midbrain DA neurons, complete restoration of amphetamine-induced rotation behavior and improvements in tests of forelimb use and akinesia. Finally, scalability is demonstrated by transplantation into Parkinsonian monkeys. Excellent DA neuron survival, function and lack of neural overgrowth in the three animal models tested indicate considerable promise for the development of cell based therapies in PD. Differentiated hESC with three conditions (LSB, LSB/S/F8, LSB/S/F8/CHIR) were subjected to RNA extraction in specific timepoint (day 0, 1, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 25) and hybridization on Illumina microarrays. Each sample has 3 or 4 biological repeats. Based on previous study* of dual SMAD inhibition neural induction, we developed new midbrain dopamine neuron protocol. It depends on time specific treatment of below factors (LSB/S/F8/CHIR): L (LDN193189 (BMP inhibitor) , day 0-11), SB (SB431542 (TGF-b signal inhibitor), day 0-5), S (SHH + Purmorphamine (Smo agonist), day 1-7), F8 (FGF8, day 1-7) and CHIR (CHIR99021 (GSK3b inhibitor), day 3-13) LSB and LSB/S/F8 are limited control conditions of dual SMAD only (LSB) or traditional patterning with Sonic and FGF (LSB/S/F8) *Chambers,S.M. et al.

Project description:Human pancreatic stellate cells (HPSCs) are an essential stromal component and are the mediators of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) progression. Small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) are membrane-enclosed nanoparticles released from stellate cells adjacent to the PDAC. sEVs are believed to play a key role in cell-cell communications and may play a critical role in disease progression. The role of membrane proteins of HPSC sEVs in the PDAC tumor microenvironment is unclear and to date, there has not been a quantitative proteomic comparison of sEVs from normal pancreatic stellate cells (HPaStec) and from PDAC-associated stellate cells (HPSCs). We hypothesized there would be differences in sEVs secretion and membrane protein expression between the 2 conditions that might contribute to PDAC biology. To test these hypotheses, we isolated sEVs using ultracentrifugation followed by characterization by electron microscopy and Nanoparticle Tracking Analysis. HPSCs secreted more sEVs compared to HPaStec, and these sEVs were enriched with exosomal markers, which was confirmed by Western blotting and flow cytometry. HPSC-sEVs also restore the activation of normal stellate cells. Next, we showed that intact membrane-associated proteins may be essential for sufficient uptake of stellate cell sEVs by both normal epithelial and cancer cells. Importantly, we demonstrated that stellate cells in general modulate the cellular proliferations of pancreatic cancer cells although stellate cell sEVs did not change the proliferation of cancer cells. We then compared sEV proteins isolated from HPSCs and HPaStecs cells using liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry. Most of the 1,481 protein groups identified were shared with the exosome database, ExoCarta (http://exocarta.org/; curated by the Mathivanan Lab). Eighty-seven protein groups were differentially expressed (selected by 2-fold difference and adjusted P value ≤ 0.05) between HPSC and HPaStec sEVs. HPSC sEVs contained dramatically more CSE1L, a poor prognostic marker for pancreatic cancer. In conclusion, our findings using mass spectrometry–based proteomics may direct further studies to understand the biology and role of protein composition of HPSC sEVs in PDAC progression or to develop novel strategies based on delivery of exosome cargo to PDAC tumor cells.

Project description:In primates the amnion emerges through cavitation of the epiblast during implantation, whereas in other species by folding of the ectoderm later around gastrulation. How the mechanisms of amniogenesis diversified in evolution remains unknown. Here we employed the naïve-to-primed transition of human pluripotent stem cells (hPSC) to model peri-implantation epiblast development. We discovered that during this transition hPSC transiently gain the ability to differentiate into cavitating epithelium that transcriptionally matches the early amnion of human embryos. In contrast, primed hPSC produce cells resembling late amnion, uncovering an independent differentiation route. Unexpectedly, single-cell analysis of primate embryos revealed two transcriptionally distinct amniogenesis waves. The early wave occurs through a trophectoderm-like route and encompasses cavitation, whereas the late wave follows an ectoderm-like pathway during gastrulation. The discovery of two independent waves of amniogenesis both of which can be modelled in hPSC explains how amniogenesis through cavitation emerged during the evolution of primates.

Project description:The tumorigenicity of human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) is a major safety concern for their application in regenerative medicine. Here we identify the tight-junction protein Claudin-6 as a specific cell surface marker of hPSCs that can be used to selectively remove Claudin-6-positive cells from mixed cultures. We show that Claudin-6 is absent in adult tissues but highly expressed in undifferentiated cells, where it is dispensable for hPSC survival and self-renewal. We use three different strategies to remove Claudin-6-positive cells from mixed populations: an antibody against Claudin-6; a cytotoxin-conjugated antibody that selectively targets undifferentiated cells; and clostridium perfringens enterotoxin, a toxin that binds several Claudins, including Claudin-6, and efficiently kills undifferentiated cells, thus eliminating the tumorigenic potential of hPSC-containing cultures. This work provides a proof of concept for the use of Claudin-6 to eliminate residual undifferentiated hPSCs from culture, highlighting a strategy that may increase the safety of hPSC-based cell therapies. total RNA was isolated from teratomas or from embryoid bodies differentiated from human induced pluripotent stem cells

Project description:Human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) are potential sources of cells for modeling disease and development, drug discovery, and regenerative medicine. However, it is important to identify factors that may impact the utility of hPSCs for these applications. In an unbiased analysis of 205 hPSC and 130 somatic samples, we identified hPSC-specific epigenetic and transcriptional aberrations in genes subject to X chromosome inactivation (XCI) and genomic imprinting, which were not corrected during directed differentiation. We also found that specific tissue types were distinguished by unique patterns of DNA hypomethylation, which were recapitulated by DNA demethylation during in vitro directed differentiation. Our results suggest that verification of baseline epigenetic status is critical for hPSC-based disease models in which the observed phenotype depends on proper XCI or imprinting, and that tissue-specific DNA methylation patterns can be accurately modeled during directed differentiation of hPSCs, even in the presence of variations in XCI or imprinting. To obtain a comprehensive view of hPSC-specific epigenomic patterns, we collected 136 hESC and 69 hiPSC samples representing more than 100 cell lines for analysis. In order to establish expected variation in human tissues, we collected 80 high-quality and well-replicated samples representing 17 distinct tissue types from multiple individuals. Finally, we selected 50 additional samples from primary cell lines of diverse origin to control for any aberrations that may arise as a general, non-hPSC-specific, consequence of in vitro manipulation. With these samples, we performed genome-wide DNA methylation and mRNA expression profiling using the Illumina Infinium 27K and 450K DNA Methylation BeadChips as well as the Illumina HT12v3 Gene Expression BeadArray.
