Chemical conversion of human fibroblasts into functional Schwann cells

Project description:We used microarrays to detail the transcriptome-wide gene expression changes underlying chemical conversion of human fibroblasts into induced Schwann Cells over a time period of 39 days. We compared then the expression profiles of these induced Schwann Cells to primary Schwann cells. The gene expression results analyzed in this study are further described in Thoma et al. (2014) Chemical conversion of human fibroblasts into functional Schwann cells. Under submission

DIRECT CONVERSION OF FIBROBLASTS INTO FUNCTIONAL ASTROCYTES BY DEFINED TRANSCRIPTION FACTORS

Project description:Direct cell reprogramming has enabled the direct conversion of skin fibroblasts into functional neurons and oligodendrocytes using a minimal set of cell lineage-specific transcription factors. This approach has substantial advantages since it is rapid and simple, generating the cell type of interest in a single step. However, it remains unknown whether this technology can be applied for directly reprogramming skin cells into astrocytes, the third neural lineage. Astrocytes play crucial roles in neuronal homeostasis and their dysfunctions contribute to the origin and progression of multiple human diseases. Herein, we carried out a screening using several transcription factors involved in defining the astroglial cell fate and identified NFIA, NFIB and SOX9 to be sufficient to convert with high efficiency embryonic and post-natal mouse fibroblasts into astrocytes (iAstrocytes). We proved both by gene expression profiling and functional tests that iAstrocytes are comparable to native brain astrocytes. This protocol can be then employed to generate functional iAstrocytes for a wide range of experimental applications. Induced astrocytes (iAstro) were compared to Fibroblasts (Fibro) as negative control and to primary astrocytes (astro) as positive control. Three biological replicates were analyzed for each experimental group.

A single cell-based computational platform to identify chemical compounds targeting desired sets of transcription factors for cellular conversion [Single-cell RNA-seq]

Project description:Conversion of cellular identity can be achieved safely, without genetic manipulation, by inducing signalling perturbations with chemical compounds to target cell fate-governing transcription factors (TFs). However, chemical-induced cellular conversion currently requires large-scale screening of small compounds, which is time- and labour-intensive. There are no existing computational approaches that facilitate chemical conversion of cell fate. Here, we develop a computational framework (SiPer) to systematically predict chemical compounds specifically targeting desired sets of TFs to direct cellular conversion. This framework integrates a large compendium of chemical perturbation datasets with a network model. We show that SiPer is generally applicable to diverse cellular conversion examples, recapitulating the known chemical compounds and their corresponding protein targets. Furthermore, using chemical compounds predicted by SiPer, we develop a highly efficient protocol for the generation of functional human induced hepatocytes (hiHeps). These results demonstrate that SiPer provides a valuable resource to efficiently identify chemical compounds for cellular conversion.

A single cell-based computational platform to identify chemical compounds targeting desired sets of transcription factors for cellular conversion [Bulk RNA-seq]

Project description:Cellular conversion can be induced by perturbing a handful of key transcription factors (TFs). Replacement of direct manipulation of key TFs with chemical compounds offers a less laborious and safer strategy to drive cellular conversion for regenerative medicine. Nevertheless, identifying optimal chemical compounds currently requires large-scale screening of chemical libraries, which is resource-intensive. Existing computational methods aim at predicting cell conversion TFs, however there are no methods for identifying chemical compounds targeting these TFs. Here, we develop a single cell-based platform (SiPer) to systematically prioritize chemical compounds targeting desired TFs to guide cellular conversions. SiPer integrates a large compendium of chemical perturbations on non-cancer cells with a network model, and predicted known and novel chemical compounds in diverse cell conversion examples. Importantly, we applied SiPer to develop a highly efficient protocol for human hepatic maturation. Overall, SiPer provides a valuable resource to efficiently identify chemical compounds for cell conversion.
