Project description:Coculture of hepatocytes with small intestine cells using MPS have been shown to enhance hepatic drug metabolism, yet the crosstalk mechanism is still unclear. Coculture of PXB-cells and iPS-derived intestine cells in MPS with perfusion and direct oxygenation were conducted to investigate this crosstalk. Analysis on albumin secretion, CYP enzyme actvity and differentially expressed genes confirmed that perfusion and direct oxygenation enhanced PXB-cells. Upregulation of "epoxygenase P450 pathway" GO terms indicated involvement of Arachidonic Acid (ARA) in the crosstalk mechanism. This is further confirmed by comparing the effect of ARA and coculture toward PXB-cells CYP enzymes activity. We hypothesize that some stimulus from PXB-cells resulted made iPS-derived intestine cells released ARA in form of lipoprotein, which is then taken in by PXB-cells and enhanced CYP activity.

Project description:The small intestine and liver play important role in determining oral drug's fate. Both organs are also interconnected through enterohepatic circulation, which imply there are crosstalk through circulating factors such as signaling molecules or metabolites that may affect drug metabolism. Coculture of hepatocytes and intestinal cells have shown to increase hepatic drug metabolism, yet its crosstalk mechanism is still unclear. In this study, we aim to elucidate such crosstalk by coculturing primary human hepatocytes harvested from chimeric mouse (PXB-cells) and iPSc-derived intestinal cells in a microphysiological systems (MPS). Perfusion and direct oxygenation from the MPS were chosen and confirmed to be suitable features that enhanced PXB-cells albumin secretion, cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes activity while also maintaining barrier integrity of iPSc-derived intestine cells. Results from RNA-sequencing showed significant upregulation in gene ontology terms related to fatty acids metabolism in PXB-cells. One of such fatty acids, arachidonic acid, enhanced several CYP enzyme activity in similar manner as coculture. From the current evidences, it is speculated that the release of bile acids from PXB-cells acted as stimuli for iPSc-derived intestine cells to release lipoprotein which was ultimately taken by PXB-cells and enhanced CYP activity.

Project description:A capability for analyzing complex cellular communication among tissues is important in drug discovery and development, and in vitro technologies for doing so are required for human applications. A prominent instance is communication between the gut and the liver, whereby perturbations of one tissue can influence behavior of the other. Here, we present a study on human gut-liver tissue interactions under normal and inflammatory contexts, via an integrative multi-organ platform comprising human liver (hepatocytes and Kupffer cells), and intestinal (enterocytes, goblet cells, and dendritic cells) models. Our results demonstrated long-term (>2 weeks) maintenance of intestinal (e.g., barrier integrity) and hepatic (e.g., albumin) functions in baseline interaction. Gene expression data comparing liver in interaction with gut, versus isolation, revealed modulation of bile acid metabolism. Intestinal FGF19 secretion and associated inhibition of hepatic CYP7A1 expression provided evidence of physiologically relevant gut-liver crosstalk. Moreover, significant non-linear modulation of cytokine responses was observed under inflammatory gut-liver interaction; for example, production of CXCR3 ligands (CXCL9,10,11) was synergistically enhanced. RNA-seq analysis revealed significant upregulation of IFNα/β/γ signaling during inflammatory gut-liver crosstalk, with these pathways implicated in the synergistic CXCR3 chemokine production. Exacerbated inflammatory response in gut-liver interaction also negatively affected tissue-specific functions (e.g., liver metabolism). These findings illustrate how an integrated multi-tissue platform can generate insights useful for understanding complex pathophysiological processes such as inflammatory organ crosstalk. Biotechnol.

Project description:Cellular crosstalk is critical for tissue healing. Following bone injury, macrophages (Mφ) initiate the immune response by secreting signals that recruit mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) and other niche cells to shape healing. Despite its importance, most studies focus on designing biomaterials that modulate individual cell type, leaving the potential of enhancing bone regeneration by modulating immune-stem cell crosstalk largely unexplored. Here, we report a macroporous microribbon (µRB) scaffold with tunable ratios of gelatin (Gel) and chondroitin sulfate (CS), achieving rapid endogenous bone regeneration in a critical-sized defect model without exogenous growth factors or cells. The 3D MSC/Mφ co-culture model, but not the mono-culture model, effectively identified Gel50_CS50 as the leading ratio for accelerating bone regeneration in vivo. Single-cell sequencing (scRNAseq) of cells infiltrated at day 7 showed Gel50_CS50 led to distinct cellular compositions changes compared to Gel100, and identified a unique M2-like 2 Mφ subpopulation associated with robust bone regeneration. CellChat analysis revealed that Gel50_CS50 significantly enhanced the frequency and intensity of cellular crosstalk among Mφ and other bone niche cell types, with signaling pathways linked to immunomodulation, angiogenesis, and osteogenesis. This study demonstrates Gel50_CS50 µRB as a promising biomaterials-based therapy for treating critical-sized bone defects by modulating cellular crosstalk.

Project description:Free fatty acids play an important role during infection by modulating immune responses, but also by directly functioning as antimicrobials. Particularly, the host’s long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids, not commonly found in bacterial pathogens, have significant antibacterial potential. Of these arachidonic acid (AA) is in high abundance, and in this study we show that upon infection with the Streptococcus pneumoniae the AA concentration in the blood increases. Hence, we investigated the transcriptmoic effects of AA on this extremely problematic bacterial pathogen.

Project description:Brown adipose tissue plays a crucial role in modulating whole-body energy expenditure through the thermogenic function of its mitochondrial respiratory chain. Pharmacological interventions targeting this function hold significant therapeutic promise. Thus, gaining a comprehensive understanding of the pathophysiological regulation of brown adipose tissue is imperative for future therapeutic applications. In this study, we investigated the metabolic mechanisms underlying the regulation of mature brown adipocyte function by the mitochondrial respiratory chain. Our findings indicate that deficiency in mitochondrial complex I in mature brown adipocytes leads to lipidomic remodeling. This remodeling results in an increase in arachidonic acid content and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) production, leading to reduced transcriptional activity of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPARα) and alterations in the content of PPAR activator complexes, which consequently result in reduced brown adipocyte thermogenesis and peroxisomal gene expression in mature brown adipocyte. In summary, our study elucidates that the mitochondrial-derived arachidonic acid signal regulates brown adipocyte thermogenesis and peroxisome biogenesis by modulating the PPAR activator complex."

Project description:Brain Microphysiological Systems including neural organoids derived from human induced pluripotent stem cells offer a unique lens to study the intricate workings of the human brain. This paper investigates the foundational elements of learning and memory in neural organoids, by quantifying immediate early gene expression in response to chemical modulation, input-specific short- and long-term synaptic plasticity, neuronal network dynamics, connectivity, and criticality to demonstrate the utility of these organoids in basic science research. Neural organoids showed synapse formation, glutamatergic and GABAergic receptor expression, immediate early gene expression basally and evoked, functional connectivity, criticality, and synaptic plasticity in response to theta-burst stimulation. In addition, pharmacological interventions on GABAergic and glutamatergic receptors, and input-specific theta-burst stimulation further shed light on the capacity of neural organoids to mirror synaptic modulation, short- and long-term potentiation and depression, demonstrating their potential as tools for studying neurophysiological and neurological processes and informing therapeutic strategies for diseases.
