Microglia-containing neural organoids as brain microphysiological systems for long-term culture

Project description:Microglia are cells essential for many aspects of brain development, homeostasis, and neuroinflammation that originate from the yolk sac during embryogenesis and migrate to the developing brain. Considering their developmental origin, many brain organoid models would naturally lack them and require a co-culture. We developed a microglia-integrated brain organoid model (immune-competent brain microphysiological system: µbMPS) using hiPSC-derived neural and microglia progenitors aggregated in U-bottom 96-well plates, enabling controlled and reproducible incorporation of microglia progenitors. We demonstrated that microglia integrated, matured, and survived long-term in the neural environment without costly exogenous microglia-specific growth factors and cytokines. We maintained microglia for over nine weeks, demonstrating functional activity, phagocytosis, and neuroinflammatory responses. µbMPS exhibited enhanced neuronal activity and maturity, offering a scalable, reproducible model for neurodevelopment, disease modeling, and neurotoxicology research.

Human microphysiological systems of aging recreate the in vivo process expediting evaluation of anti-gerontic strategies

Project description:The search for biological mechanisms of human aging is stalled by a lack of suitable models and it remains unknown whether, and to what degree, rejuvenation reported in rodents translates to people. Here we report a hiPSC-derived microphysiological system modelling the white adipose tissue-liver axis in the presence of heterochronic human serum to study aging and rejuvenation in humans. We reveal changes in functional and molecular hallmarks of aging and rejuvenation, and we investigate unknown biomarkers and mechanisms of plasticity in human tissue aging as well as potential rejuvenation strategies. The microphysiological chip recapitulates, in 4 days, aging-associated hallmarks that occur after decades of aging in people, including gerontic shifts in gene expression and oxidative DNA damage. We uncover unknown signaling networks in human aging, knock-on effects of aging in fat on liver, sexual polymorphisms of aging, tissue memory of age, and develop a custom machine learning model for biological age. Combining heterochronic human serum with the microphysiological system allows for rapidly establishing human tissue aging, discovering clinically relevant mechanisms, biomarkers, and testing of anti-gerontic approaches.

Human Neural Organoid Microphysiological Systems Show the Building Blocks Necessary for Basic Learning and Memory

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.

Bulk RNA sequencing of mono-culture and tri-culture microglia

Project description:Microglia are the immune cells of the central nervous system and are thought to be key players in both physiological and disease conditions. Several microglial features are poorly conserved between mice and human, such as the function of the neurodegeneration-associated immune receptor Trem2. Induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived microglia offer a powerful opportunity to generate and study human microglia. However, human iPSC-derived microglia often exhibit activated phenotypes in vitro, and assessing their impact on other brain cell types remains challenging due to limitations in current co-culture systems. Here, we developed fully defined brain microtissues, composed of human iPSC-derived neurons, astrocytes, and microglia, co-cultured in 2D or 3D formats. Our microtissues are stable and self-sufficient over time, requiring no exogenous cytokines or growth factors. In this experiment, we performed RNA-seq to compare microglia maintained in cytokine-supplemented mono-culture with microglia maintained in tri-culture without exogenous cytokines.
