Project description:Astrocytes are specialized glial cell types of the central nervous system (CNS) with remarkably high abundance, morphological and functional diversity. Astrocytes maintain neural metabolic support, synapse regulation, blood-brain barrier integrity and immunological homeostasis through intricate interactions with other cells, including neurons, microglia, pericytes and lymphocytes. Due to their extensive intercellular crosstalks, astrocytes are also implicated in the pathogenesis of CNS disorders, such as ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis), Parkinson’s disease and Alzheimer’s disease. Despite the critical importance of astrocytes in neurodegeneration and neuroinflammation are recognized, the lack of suitable in vitro systems limits their availability for modeling human brain pathologies. Here, we report the time-efficient, reproducible generation of astrocytes from human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs). Our hiPSC-derived astrocytes expressed characteristic classical markers of mature astrocytes, such as GFAP, S100b, ALDH1L1 and AQP4. Furthermore, hiPSC-derived astrocytes displayed spontaneous calcium transients and responded to inflammatory stimuli by the secretion of type A1 and type A2 astrocyte-related cytokines.

Project description:Growing evidence implicates the importance of glia, particularly astrocytes, in neurological and psychiatric diseases. Here, we describe a rapid and robust method for the differentiation of highly pure populations of astrocytes from human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs), via a neural progenitor cell (NPC) intermediate. Using this method, we generated hiPSC-derived astrocyte populations (hiPSC-astrocytes) from 42 NPC lines (derived from 30 individuals) with an average of ~90% S100β-positive cells. Transcriptomic analysis demonstrated that the hiPSC-astrocytes are highly similar to primary human fetal astrocytes and characteristic of a non-reactive state. hiPSC-astrocytes respond to inflammatory stimulants, display phagocytic capacity and enhance microglial phagocytosis. hiPSC-astrocytes also possess spontaneous calcium transient activity. Our novel protocol is a reproducible, straightforward (single media) and rapid (<30 days) method to generate homogenous populations of hiPSC-astrocytes that can be used for neuron-astrocyte and microglia-astrocyte co-cultures for the study of neuropsychiatric disorders.

Project description:Female human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC) lines exhibit considerable variability in X-inactivation status. Some lines maintain one transcriptionally active X chromosome (Xa) and one inactive X (Xi) from donor cells. However, hiPSC lines that have two Xas are infrequently produced. We show here Xinactivation status in female hiPSC lines depends on derivation conditions. hiPSC lines generated using the Kyoto method, which employs leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF)-expressing SNL feeders, frequently had two Xas. Lines derived on other feeders maintained an Xi. In addition, there appears to be a window in which SNL feeders promote Xi-reactivation. Upon differentiation, Xa/Xa hiPSCs silenced one X. The efficient production of Xa/Xa hiPSC lines provides unprecedented opportunities to understand human X-reactivation and inactivation. Gene expression patterns were compared between several human embryonic stem cell (hESC) and hiPSC lines. Gene expression ratios between genes on X and those on autosomes were calculated from each cell lines.

Project description:The development of the central nervous system (CNS) depends on the orchestrated generation of neurons and glia from neural stem cells (NSCs). Although NSCs generate both cell types, they are produced sequentially as neurons are born first and glia later. In humans, this timing is extremely protracted and the underlying mechanisms remain unknown. Deriving glial cells such as astrocytes from human pluripotent stem cells requires 3-6 months of differentiation, greatly impeding their use in human disease modeling and regenerative medicine. Here, we report that expression of the transcription factor nuclear factor IA (NFIA) is sufficient to trigger glial competency in highly neurogenic NSCs and enables the derivation of human astrocytes within 10-12 days. NFIA-induced astrocytes are functional and shown to promote synaptogenesis, protect neurons and generate calcium transients. The mechanism of NFIA-induced glial competency involves rapid but reversible chromatin remodeling, demethylation of the GFAP promoter and a striking effect on the cell cycle. NFIA titration and pharmacological studies indicate that acquisition of a glial-compatible G1 length is critical for achieving glial competency. Our results offer mechanistic insights into human glial competency and enable the routine use of astrocytes for studying human development and disease.

Project description:Various culture systems have been used to derive and maintain human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs), but they are inefficient in sustaining cloning and suspension expansion of hPSCs. Through systematically modulating Wnt and Activin/Nodal signaling, we developed a defined medium (termed AIC), which enables efficient cloning and long-term expansion of hPSCs (AIC-hPSCs) through single-cell passage on feeders, matrix or in suspension (25-fold expansion in 4 days) and maintains genomic stability of hPSCs over extensive expansion. Moreover, the AIC medium supports efficient derivation of hPSCs from blastocysts or somatic cells under feeder-free conditions. Compared to conventional-culture hPSCs, AIC-hPSCs have similar gene expression profiles but down-regulated differentiation genes and display higher metabolic activity. The AIC medium shows a good compatibility for suspension expansion of different hPSC lines. Our study provides a robust culture system for derivation, cloning and suspension expansion of high-quality hPSCs that benefits GMP production and processing of therapeutic hPSC products
