Project description:The specification of cell identity during human liver development is strictly controlled by extrinsic signals that restrict and define distinct cell fates. However, it is still not clear how cells, when exposed to exogenous signals, activate secretory cascades involving morphogens, growth factors and cytokines, extracellular matrix (ECM) deposition and remodeling, which are extremely relevant especially in 3D self-organizing system such as hepatic organoids. Here, we investigated how the proteins secreted by human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) in response to developmental exogenous signals affect the progression from endoderm to the hepatic lineage, including their competence to generate nascent hepatic organoids. By using a microfluidics-based approach coupled with SILAC-MS-based quantitative proteomic analysis we found high abundancy of ECM-associated proteins. Hepatocyte-like cells derived in microfluidics, where accumulation of cell-secreted proteins is enhanced up to 7-fold, showed organized deposition of COL1, FN, LAM and COL4, consistent with observations in human fetal liver at 8-15pcw. Further differentiation leads to a more mature hepatic transcriptomic signature and 1.5-fold higher ammonia detoxification capacity compared to conventional culture conditions. Hepatic committed cells in an early stage either derived in microfluidics and exposed to exogenous ECM stimuli show a significant higher potential for hepatic organoids formation. Nascent organoids can be rapidly expanded for several passages and further differentiated into functional hepatocytes. These results proved an additional control over the efficiency of hepatic organoid formation and differentiation for downstream applications.

Here, we investigate how the proteins secreted by human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) in response to developmental exogenous signals affect the progression from endoderm to the hepatic lineage, including their competence to generate nascent hepatic organoids. By using microfluidic confined environment and stable isotope labeling with amino acids in cell culture-coupled mass spectrometry (SILAC-MS) quantitative proteomic analysis, we find high abundancy of extracellular matrix (ECM)-associated proteins. Hepatic progenitor cells either derived in microfluidics or exposed to exogenous ECM stimuli show a significantly higher potential of forming hepatic organoids that can be rapidly expanded for several passages and further differentiated into functional hepatocytes.

Project description:Understanding how morphogen gradients spatially pattern tissues is a fundamental question in developmental biology but can be difficult to directly address using conventional approaches. Here we expose hPSC-derived endoderm cells to countervailing gradients of anteriorizing and posteriorizing signals using a widely available microfluidic device. This approach yielded spatially patterned cultures comprising anterior foregut (precursor to the thyroid, esophagus, and lungs) and mid/hindgut (precursor to the intestines) cells, whose identities were confirmed using single-cell RNA-sequencing. By exposing stem cells to externally applied signaling gradients, this widely accessible microfluidic platform should accelerate the production of spatially patterned tissues, complementing internally self-organizing organoids. Applying artificial morphogen gradients in vitro may also illuminate signaling gradient interpretation mechanisms that are otherwise challenging to study in mammalian embryos in vivo.

Project description:Motivation: Identification of eQTL, the genetic loci that contribute to heritable variation in gene expression, can be obstructed by factors that produce variation in expression profiles if these factors are unmeasured or hidden from direct analysis. Methods: We have developed a method for Hidden Expression Factor analysis (HEFT) that identifies individual and pleiotropic effects of eQTL in the presence of hidden factors. The HEFT model simultaneously accounts for the effects of genotypes while learning hidden factors, where we make use of the complete likelihood of a unified multivariate regression and factor analysis model to derive a ridge estimator for combined factor learning and detection of eQTL. HEFT requires no pre-estimation of hidden factor effects, no iterative model selection, it provides p-values, and is extremely fast, requiring just a few hours to complete an eQTL analysis of thousands of expression variables when analyzing hundreds of thousands of SNPs on a standard 8 core 2.6G desktop. Results: By analyzing simulated data, we demonstrate that HEFT can correct for an unknown number of hidden factors and outperforms related hidden factor methods for eQTL analysis, where the improved performance is particularly evident in the detection of eQTL with multivariate effects. To demonstrate a real-world application, we applied HEFT to identify eQTL affecting gene expression in human lung tissue for a study that included presumptive hidden factors. The analysis identified a number of eQTL with direct relevance to lung disease that could not be found without a hidden factor analysis, including cis-eQTL for GTF2H1 and MTRR, genes that have been independently associated with lung cancer. We have developed HEFT, a fast multivariate method that detect eQTLs by analyzing thousands of traits simultaneously in the presence of hidden factors. HEFT employs a combined regression factor analysis approach to analyze the gene expression and genotype data sets, looking for univariate or multivariate eQTLs that regulate gene expression, while simultaneously controlling for both orthogonal or non-orthogonal hidden factors. We show by extensive simulation that HEFT outperforms competing methods, and by applying HEFT to a study that included presumptive hidden factors, we identified a number of eQTL with direct relevance to lung disease that could not be found without a hidden factor analysis.

Project description:Single-cell whole-transcriptome analysis is a powerful tool for quantifying gene expression heterogeneity in populations of cells. Many techniques have, thus, been recently developed to perform transcriptome sequencing (RNA-Seq) on individual cells. To probe subtle biological variation between samples with limiting amounts of RNA, more precise and sensitive methods are still required. We adapted a previously developed strategy for single-cell RNA-Seq that has shown promise for superior sensitivity and implemented the chemistry in a microfluidic platform for single-cell whole transcriptome analysis. In this approach, single cells are captured and lysed in a microfluidic device, where mRNAs with poly(A) tails are reverse-transcribed into cDNA. Double-stranded cDNA is then collected and sequenced using a next-generation sequencing platform. We prepared 94 libraries consisting of single mouse embryonic cells and technical replicates of extracted RNA and thoroughly characterized the performance of this technology. Microfluidic implementation increased mRNA detection sensitivity as well as improved measurement precision compared with tube-based protocols. With 0.2M reads per cell, we were able to reconstruct a majority of the bulk transcriptome with 10 single cells. We also quantified variation between and within different types of mouse embryonic cells and found that enhanced measurement precision, detection sensitivity, and experimental throughput aided the distinction between biological variability and technical noise. With this work, we validated the advantages of an early approach to single-cell RNA-Seq and showed that the benefits of combining microfluidic technology with high-throughput sequencing will be valuable for large-scale efforts in single-cell transcriptome analysis. We investigated gene expression in mouse embryonic cells using microfluidic-facilitated RNA-Seq to analyze 56 single mouse ES cell (mESC) transcriptomes and 6 single mouse embryonic fibroblast (MEF) transcriptomes. To quantitatively evaluate the sensitivity and precision of our technique, we also sequenced 23 libraries from extracted mESC RNA, representing three sets of technical replicates with varying starting amounts of material.

Project description:Investigation in bacterial transcriptomics is widely used to investigate gene regulation, bacterial susceptibility to antibiotics, host-pathogen interactions, and pathogenesis. Transcriptomics is crucially dependent on suitable methods to isolate and detect bacterial RNA. Microfluidic approaches offer ways of creating integrated point-of-care systems, analysing a sample from preparation, RNA isolation through to detection. Critical for on-chip diagnostics to deliver on their promise is that mRNA expression is not altered through the use microfluidic sample processing. Here, we investigate the impact on the use of a microfluidic sample processing system based on hydrodynamic separation upon RNA expression of bacteria isolated from blood to prove its suitability for further microfluidic test development. A 10 array study using total RNA recovered from bacteria isolated using the microfluidic device and total RNA recovered from bacteria that were not separated using the device were compared. Arrays were performed in 5 biological replicates from each condition
