A stably self-renewing adult blood-derived induced neural stem cell exhibiting patternability and epigenetic rejuvenation

Project description:Recent reports suggest that induced neurons (iNs), but not induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived neurons largely preserve age-associated traits. Here we report on the extent of preserved epigenetic and transcriptional aging signatures in directly converted induced neural stem cells (iNSCs). Employing restricted and integration-free expression of SOX2 and c-MYC we generate a fully functional, bona fide NSC population from adult blood cells that remains highly responsive to regional patterning cues. Upon conversion, low passage iNSCs display a profound loss of age-related DNA methylation signatures, which further erode across extended passaging, thereby approximating the DNA methylation age of isogenic iPSC-derived neural precursors. This epigenetic rejuvenation is accompanied by a lack of age-associated transcriptional signatures and absence of cellular aging hallmarks. We find iNSCs to be competent for modeling pathological protein aggregation and for neurotransplantation, depicting blood-to-NSC conversion as a rapid alternative route for both disease modeling and neuroregeneration.

Conversion of Human Fibroblasts to Stably Self-Renewing Neural Stem Cells with a Single Zinc-Finger Transcription Factor

Project description:Direct conversion of somatic cells into neural stem cells (NSCs) by defined factors holds great promise for mechanistic studies, drug screening, and potential cell therapies for different neurodegenerative diseases. Here, we report that a single zinc-finger transcription factor, Zfp521, is sufficient for direct conversion of human fibroblasts into long-term self-renewable and multipotent NSCs. In vitro, Zfp521-induced NSCs maintained their characteristics in the absence of exogenous factor expression and exhibited morphological, molecular, developmental, and functional properties that were similar to control NSCs. Additionally, the single seeded induced NSCs were able to form NSC colonies with efficiency comparable to control NSCs and expressed NSC markers. The converted cells were capable of surviving, migrating and attaining neural phenotypes after transplantation into neonatal mouse- and adult rat brains, without forming tumors. Moreover, the Zfp521-induced NSCs predominantly expressed rostral genes. Our results suggest a facilitated approach for establishing human NSCs through Zfp521-driven conversion of fibroblasts.

Single transcription factor conversion of human blood fate to NPCs with CNS and PNS developmental capacity

Project description:Direct cell fate conversion allows the generation of somatic cells that are otherwise difficult to obtain directly from patients. The clinical applicability of this approach depends on obtaining an initial source of somatic cells from adult patients that is easy to harvest, store, and manipulate for reprogramming. Here we have generated induced neural progenitor cells (iNPCs) from neonatal as well as peripheral blood from human adults using single factor OCT4 based reprogramming. Unlike fibroblasts that share molecular hallmarks of neural crest, direct OCT4 reprogramming of human blood could be facilitated by SMAD+GSK-3 inhibition to overcome restrictions on neural fate conversion. Blood derived (BD)-iNPCs functionally differentiate in vivo, and respond to guided differentiation in vitro to produce both glia (astrocytes and oligodendrocytes) and multiple neuronal subtypes including dopamine releasing DA neurons (CNS related) and nociceptive neurons (PNS). Furthermore, BD nociceptive neurons phenocopy chemotherapy induced neurotoxicity in a system suitable for high throughput drug screening. Our findings provide an easily accessible approach to generate human NPCs that harbor extensive developmental potential, enabling the study of clinically relevant neural diseases directly from patient cohorts.

Integrated Assessment of Circulating Cell-Free MicroRNA Signatures in Plasma of Patients with Melanoma Brain Metastasis

Project description:We analyzed cell-free microRNAs (cfmiRs) in blood, tissue, and urine samples of melanoma patients to find potential biomarkers for monitoring and assessing early detection of melanoma metastasis. This study demonstrates that identifying cfmiR signatures in body fluids may allow for detection and assessment of melanoma brain metastasis (MBM) and metastatic melanoma patients undergoing checkpoint inhibitor immunotherapy treatments.

Molecular signatures associated with cognitive deficits in schizophrenia: a study of biopsied olfactory neural epithelium

Project description:Cognitive deficit is a key feature of schizophrenia (SZ) and determines functional outcome. Nonetheless, molecular signatures underlying the deficit in neuronal tissues are not well understood. We performed microarray analysis of olfactory epithelium (OE) tissues from SZ and control subjects with their neuropsychological assessment data. Furthermore, we examined gene expression profiles of lymphoblasts for the molecular signatures identified in the OE tissues .

Efficient neural differentiation of human pluripotent stem cells by extrinsic signals derived from co-cultured neural stem/precursor cells

Project description:In this study, we found evidence of neural conversion of human pluripotent stem cells(hPSCs) to neural stem cells(NSCs) when in a co-cultured state. mRNA sequencing was performed to investigate the factors facilitating neural conversion of hPSCs. Candidate genes responsible for neural conversion were drawn out through GO and DEG analysis. The meaning of this study lies on the possibility of the establishment of a new, fast and efficient NSC differentiation protocol with a reproducible manner across hESC and hiPSC lines.
