Transneuronal propagation of mutant huntingtin contributes to non-cell autonomous pathology in neurons.
In Huntington's disease (HD),whether transneuronal spreading of mutant huntingtin (mHTT) occurs and its contribution to non-cell autonomous damage in brain networks is largely unknown. We found mHTT spreading in three different neural network models: human neurons integrated in the neural network of organotypic brain slices of HD mouse model,an ex vivo corticostriatal slice model and the corticostriatal pathway in vivo. Transneuronal propagation of mHTT was blocked by two different botulinum neurotoxins,each known for specifically inactivating a single critical component of the synaptic vesicle fusion machinery. Moreover,healthy human neurons in HD mouse model brain slices displayed non-cell autonomous changes in morphological integrity that were more pronounced when these neurons bore mHTT aggregates. Altogether,our findings suggest that transneuronal propagation of mHTT might be an important and underestimated contributor to the pathophysiology of HD.

Role of astroglia in Down's syndrome revealed by patient-derived human-induced pluripotent stem cells.
Down's syndrome (DS),caused by trisomy of human chromosome 21,is the most common genetic cause of intellectual disability. Here we use induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) derived from DS patients to identify a role for astrocytes in DS pathogenesis. DS astroglia exhibit higher levels of reactive oxygen species and lower levels of synaptogenic molecules. Astrocyte-conditioned medium collected from DS astroglia causes toxicity to neurons,and fails to promote neuronal ion channel maturation and synapse formation. Transplantation studies show that DS astroglia do not promote neurogenesis of endogenous neural stem cells in vivo. We also observed abnormal gene expression profiles from DS astroglia. Finally,we show that the FDA-approved antibiotic drug,minocycline,partially corrects the pathological phenotypes of DS astroglia by specifically modulating the expression of S100B,GFAP,inducible nitric oxide synthase,and thrombospondins 1 and 2 in DS astroglia. Our studies shed light on the pathogenesis and possible treatment of DS by targeting astrocytes with a clinically available drug.

Genetic insulin resistance is a potent regulator of gene expression and proliferation in human iPS cells
Insulin resistance is central to diabetes and metabolic syndrome. To define the consequences of genetic insulin resistance distinct from those secondary to cellular differentiation or in vivo regulation,we generated induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) from individuals with insulin receptor mutations and age-appropriate control subjects and studied insulin signaling and gene expression compared with the fibroblasts from which they were derived. iPSCs from patients with genetic insulin resistance exhibited altered insulin signaling,paralleling that seen in the original fibroblasts. Insulin-stimulated expression of immediate early genes and proliferation were also potently reduced in insulin resistant iPSCs. Global gene expression analysis revealed marked differences in both insulin-resistant iPSCs and corresponding fibroblasts compared with control iPSCs and fibroblasts. Patterns of gene expression in patients with genetic insulin resistance were particularly distinct in the two cell types,indicating dependence on not only receptor activity but also the cellular context of the mutant insulin receptor. Thus,iPSCs provide a novel approach to define effects of genetically determined insulin resistance. This study demonstrates that effects of insulin resistance on gene expression are modified by cellular context and differentiation state. Moreover,altered insulin receptor signaling and insulin resistance can modify proliferation and function of pluripotent stem cell populations.

Deriving functional hepatocytes from pluripotent stem cells.
Despite major progress in the management of human liver disease,the only cure for a critically failing organ is liver transplantation. While a highly successful approach,the use of cadaveric organs as a routine treatment option is severely limited by organ availability. Therefore,the use of cell-based therapies has been explored to provide support for the failing liver. In addition to developing new treatments,there is also an imperative to develop better human models 'in a dish'. Such approaches will undoubtedly lead to a better understanding of the disease process,offering new treatment or preventative strategies. With both approaches in mind,we have developed robust hepatocyte differentiation methodologies for use with pluripotent stem cells. Importantly,our procedure is highly efficient (∼ 90%) and delivers active,drug-inducible,and predictive human hepatocyte populations.

Molecular effect of ethanol during neural differentiation of human embryonic stem cells in vitro.
Potential teratogenic effects of alcohol on fetal development have been documented. Especially studies have demonstrated deleterious effect of ethanol exposure on neuronal development in animal models and on the maintenance and differentiation of neuronal precursor cells derived from stem cells. To better understand the molecular effect of alcohol on the process of neural differentiation,we have performed gene expression microarray analysis on human embryonic stem cells being directed to neural rosettes and neural precursor cells in the presence of ethanol treatment. Here we provide detailed experimental methods,analysis and information associated with our data deposited into Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) under GSE56906. Our data provide scientific insight on potential molecular effects of fetal alcohol exposure on neural differentiation of early embryo development.

A near-infrared fluorescent voltage-sensitive dye allows for moderate-throughput electrophysiological analyses of human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes.
Human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocyte (iPSC-CM)-based assays are emerging as a promising tool for the in vitro preclinical screening of QT interval-prolonging side effects of drugs in development. A major impediment to the widespread use of human iPSC-CM assays is the low throughput of the currently available electrophysiological tools. To test the precision and applicability of the near-infrared fluorescent voltage-sensitive dye 1-(4-sulfanatobutyl)-4-β[2-(di-n-butylamino)-6-naphthyl]butadienylquinolinium betaine (di-4-ANBDQBS) for moderate-throughput electrophysiological analyses,we compared simultaneous transmembrane voltage and optical action potential (AP) recordings in human iPSC-CM loaded with di-4-ANBDQBS. Optical AP recordings tracked transmembrane voltage with high precision,generating nearly identical values for AP duration (AP durations at 10%,50%,and 90% repolarization). Human iPSC-CMs tolerated repeated laser exposure,with stable optical AP parameters recorded over a 30-min study period. Optical AP recordings appropriately tracked changes in repolarization induced by pharmacological manipulation. Finally,di-4-ANBDQBS allowed for moderate-throughput analyses,increasing throughput textgreater10-fold over the traditional patch-clamp technique. We conclude that the voltage-sensitive dye di-4-ANBDQBS allows for high-precision optical AP measurements that markedly increase the throughput for electrophysiological characterization of human iPSC-CMs.

Generation of cerebral organoids from human pluripotent stem cells.
Human brain development exhibits several unique aspects,such as increased complexity and expansion of neuronal output,that have proven difficult to study in model organisms. As a result,in vitro approaches to model human brain development and disease are an intense area of research. Here we describe a recently established protocol for generating 3D brain tissue,so-called cerebral organoids,which closely mimics the endogenous developmental program. This method can easily be implemented in a standard tissue culture room and can give rise to developing cerebral cortex,ventral telencephalon,choroid plexus and retinal identities,among others,within 1-2 months. This straightforward protocol can be applied to developmental studies,as well as to the study of a variety of human brain diseases. Furthermore,as organoids can be maintained for more than 1 year in long-term culture,they also have the potential to model later events such as neuronal maturation and survival.

Aneuploidy induces profound changes in gene expression, proliferation and tumorigenicity of human pluripotent stem cells.
Human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) tend to acquire genomic aberrations in culture,the most common of which is trisomy of chromosome 12. Here we dissect the cellular and molecular implications of this trisomy in hPSCs. Global gene expression analyses reveal that trisomy 12 profoundly affects the gene expression profile of hPSCs,inducing a transcriptional programme similar to that of germ cell tumours. Comparison of proliferation,differentiation and apoptosis between diploid and aneuploid hPSCs shows that trisomy 12 significantly increases the proliferation rate of hPSCs,mainly as a consequence of increased replication. Furthermore,trisomy 12 increases the tumorigenicity of hPSCs in vivo,inducing transcriptionally distinct teratomas from which pluripotent cells can be recovered. Last,a chemical screen of 89 anticancer drugs discovers that trisomy 12 raises the sensitivity of hPSCs to several replication inhibitors. Together,these findings demonstrate the extensive effect of trisomy 12 and highlight its perils for successful hPSC applications.

Generation, expansion, and differentiation of cardiovascular progenitor cells from human pluripotent stem cells.
Cardiovascular progenitor cells (CVPCs) derived from human embryonic stem cells and human induced pluripotent stem cells represent an invaluable potential source for the study of early embryonic cardiovascular development and stem cell-based therapies for congenital and acquired heart diseases. To fully realize their values,it is essential to establish an efficient and stable differentiation system for the induction of these pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) into the CVPCs and robustly expand them in culture,and then further differentiate these CVPCs into multiple cardiovascular cell types. Here we describe the protocols for efficient derivation,expansion,and differentiation of CVPCs from hPSCs in a chemically defined medium under feeder- and serum-free culture conditions.

Monolayer culturing and cloning of human pluripotent stem cells on laminin-521-based matrices under xeno-free and chemically defined conditions.
A robust method for culturing human pluripotent stem (hPS) cells under chemically defined and xeno-free conditions is an important tool for stem cell research and for the development of regenerative medicine. Here,we describe a protocol for monolayer culturing of Oct-4-positive hPS cells on a specific laminin-521 (LN-521) isoform,under xeno-free and chemically defined conditions. The cells are dispersed into single-cell suspension and then plated on LN-521 isoform at densities higher than 5,000 cells per cm²,where they attach,migrate and survive by forming small monolayer cell groups. The cells avidly divide and expand horizontally until the entire dish is covered by a confluent monolayer. LN-521,in combination with E-cadherin,allows cloning of individual hPS cells in separate wells of 96-well plates without the presence of rho-associated protein kinase (ROCK) inhibitors or any other inhibitors of anoikis. Characterization of cells maintained for several months in culture reveals pluripotency with a minimal degree of genetic abnormalities.

Heterelogous expression of mutated HLA-G decreases immunogenicity of human embryonic stem cells and their epidermal derivatives.
Human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) are capable of extensive self-renewal and expansion and can differentiate into any somatic tissue,making them useful for regenerative medicine applications. Allogeneic transplantation of hESC-derived tissues from results in immunological rejection absent adjunctive immunosuppression. The goal of our study was to generate a universal pluripotent stem cell source by nucleofecting a mutated human leukocyte antigen G (mHLA-G) gene into hESCs using the PiggyBac transposon. We successfully generated stable mHLA-G(EF1$\$)-hESC lines using chEF1$\$ system that stably expressed mHLA-G protein during prolonged undifferentiated proliferation andin differentiated embryoid bodies as well as teratomas. Morphology,karyotype,and telomerase activity of mHLA-G expressing hESC were normal. Immunofluorescence staining and flow cytometry analysis revealed persistent expression of pluripotent markers,OCT-3/4 and SSEA-4,in undifferentiated mHLA-G(EF1$\$)-hESC. Nucleofected hESC formed teratomas and when directed to differentiate into epidermal precursors,expressed high levels of mHLA-G and keratinocyte markers K14 and CD29. Natural killer cell cytotoxicity assays demonstrated a significant decrease in lysis of mHLA-G(EF1a)-hESC targets relative to control cells. Similar results were obtained with mHLA-G(EF1$\$)-hESC-derived epidermal progenitors (hEEP). One way mixed T lymphocyte reactions unveiled that mHLA-G(EF1a)-hESC and -hEEP restrained the proliferative activity of mixed T lymphocytes. We conclude that heterologous expression of mHLA-G decreases immunogenicity of hESCs and their epidermal differentiated derivatives.

An efficient genotyping method for genome-modified animals and human cells generated with CRISPR/Cas9 system
The rapid generation of various species and strains of laboratory animals using CRISPR/Cas9 technology has dramatically accelerated the interrogation of gene function in vivo. So far,the dominant approach for genotyping of genome-modified animals has been the T7E1 endonuclease cleavage assay. Here,we present a polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis-based (PAGE) method to genotype mice harboring different types of indel mutations. We developed 6 strains of genome-modified mice using CRISPR/Cas9 system,and utilized this approach to genotype mice from F0 to F2 generation,which included single and multiplexed genome-modified mice. We also determined the maximal detection sensitivity for detecting mosaic DNA using PAGE-based assay as 0.5%. We further applied PAGE-based genotyping approach to detect CRISPR/Cas9-mediated on- and off-target effect in human 293T and induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). Thus,PAGE-based genotyping approach meets the rapidly increasing demand for genotyping of the fast-growing number of genome-modified animals and human cell lines created using CRISPR/Cas9 system or other nuclease systems such as TALEN or ZFN.
