Project description:Understanding the relationship between parenchymal and supporting cell populations is paramount to recapitulate the multicellular complexity of native tissues. Incorporation of stromal cells is widely recognized to be necessary for the stable formation of stem cell-derived cardiac tissues, yet the types of stromal cells used has varied widely. This study systematically characterized several stromal populations and found that stromal phenotype and morphology was highly variable depending on cell source and exerted differential impacts on cardiac tissue function and iPSC-CM phenotype. Therefore, the choice of supporting stromal population can differentially impact the phenotypic or functional performance of engineered cardiac tissues.

Project description:Endometrial gland impacts on stromal cell decidualization

Project description:Technological advancements have enabled the design of increasingly complex engineered tissue constructs, which better mimic native tissue cellularity. Therefore, dissecting the bi-directional interactions between distinct cell types in 3D is necessary to understand how heterotypic interactions at the single-cell level impact tissue-level properties. We systematically interrogated the interactions between cardiomyocytes (CMs) and cardiac non-myocytes in 3D self-assembled tissue constructs in an effort to determine the phenotypic and functional contributions of cardiac fibroblasts (CFs) and endothelial cells (ECs) to cardiac tissue properties. One week after tissue formation, cardiac microtissues containing CFs exhibited improved calcium handling function compared to microtissues comprised of CMs alone or CMs mixed with ECs, and CMs cultured with CFs exhibited distinct transcriptional profiles, with increased expression of cytoskeletal and ECM-associated genes. However, one month after tissue formation, functional and phenotypic differences between heterotypic tissues were mitigated, indicating diminishing impacts of non-myocytes on CM phenotype and function over time. The combination of single-cell RNA-sequencing and calcium imaging enabled the determination of reciprocal transcriptomic changes accompanying tissue-level functional properties in engineered heterotypic cardiac microtissues.

Project description:Uterine glands and, by inference, their secretions impact uterine receptivity, blastocyst implantation, stromal cell decidualization, and placental development. Changes in gland function across the menstrual cycle are impacted by steroid hormones, estrogen and progesterone, as well as stroma-derived factors. Using an endometrial epithelial organoid (EEO) system, transcriptome and proteome analyses identified distinct responses of the EEO to steroid hormones and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2). Notably, steroid hormones and PGE2 modulated the basolateral secretion of EEO proteins, where cystatin C (CST3) was significantly increased by progesterone and PGE2. CST3 treatment of decidualizing stromal cells significantly decreased the decidualization markers PRL and IGFBP1. The attenuation of stromal cell decidualization via CST3 suggests a role for uterine gland-derived proteins in controlling the extent of decidualization. These findings provide evidence that uterine gland-derived factors directly impact stromal cell decidualization, which has strong implications for better understanding pregnancy establishment and female fertility in humans.

Project description:Cryptic genetic variants exert minimal or no phenotypic effects alone but have long been hypothesized to form a vast, hidden reservoir of genetic diversity that drives trait evolvability through epistatic interactions. This classical theory has been reinvigorated by pan-genome sequencing, which is continually exposing cis-regulatory variation, along with widespread gene duplications and paralog diversification as an underappreciated source of cryptic variation within gene families and the regulatory networks in which they function. However, empirical testing of this hypothesis has been hindered by intractable genetics, limited allelic diversity, and inadequate phenotypic resolution. Here, guided by natural and engineered cis-cryptic variants in a recently evolved paralogous pair, we identified an additional pair of redundant trans regulators, establishing a regulatory network that controls tomato inflorescence architecture. Exploiting an allelic spectrum of network components allowed a high-resolution dissection of a genotype-to-phenotype map, revealing how cryptic variants potentiate trait diversification. We combined coding mutations with a cis-regulatory allelic series in populations segregating for all four genes, systematically constructing gene dosage combinations across 216 genotypes and quantifying their effects on branching in 27,000 inflorescences. Our analysis revealed dose-dependent interactions within paralog pairs enhance branching, culminating in strong, synergistic, effects. However, modeling uncovered an unexpected layer of antagonism between paralog pairs, where accumulating mutations in one pair progressively diminished the effects of mutations in the other. Our results demonstrate how gene regulatory network architecture and complex dosage effects from paralog diversification converge to shape phenotypic space. Given the prevalence of paralog evolution in genomes, we propose that paralogous cryptic variation within regulatory networks elicits hierarchies of epistatic interactions, catalyzing bursts of phenotypic change.

Project description:Intestinal homeostasis crucially depends on functional epithelial-mesenchymal interactions. Perturbations therein can drive fibrosis, a severe but common complication of advanced inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Despite its clinical importance, intestinal fibrosis is poorly understood, owing, in large part, to the lack of human-relevant models that can capture this crosstalk. Here, we describe scalable and reproducible engineered human intestinal tissues with an autologous stromal compartment. The system recapitulates key aspects of intestinal fibrosis, including fibroblast contractility, mechanical tissue constriction, and alterations in organoid morphology and cell fate. Single-cell transcriptomics combined with pharmacological interventions revealed that epithelial-stromal crosstalk in the tissues induces pro-fibrotic transcriptional programs in both epithelial and stromal compartments, identifying TGFβ, activin, IL-1 signaling, and prostaglandins as critical molecular drivers. Remarkably, aberrant epithelial-stromal interactions were sufficient to initiate de novo inflammation, peaking with the robust recruitment and activation of neutrophils, which led to further epithelial damage and mirrored features of active IBD. The system provides insights into the complex, bidirectional relationship between inflammation and fibrosis, showcasing the utility of engineered human tissues for therapeutic screening and mechanistic inquiry

Project description:The vast and promising class of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) has been under investigation for distinct therapeutic applications. Nevertheless, their role as molecular drivers of bone regeneration remains poorly studied. The lncRNA H19 mediates osteogenic differentiation of Mesenchymal Stem/Stromal Cells (MSCs) through the control of intracellular pathways. However, the effect of H19 on the extracellular matrix (ECM) components is still largely unknown. This research study was designed to decode the H19-mediated ECM regulatory network, and to reveal how the decellularized siH19-engineered matrices influence MSC proliferation and fate. This is particularly relevant for diseases in which the ECM regulation and remodelling processes are disrupted, such as osteoporosis.
