Comparative Analysis of Whole-Genome Gene Expression Changes in Cultured Human Embryonic Stem Cells in Response to Low, Clinical Diagnostic Relevant, and High Doses of Ionizing Radiation Exposure.
The biological effects of low-dose ionizing radiation (LDIR) exposure in humans are not comprehensively understood,generating a high degree of controversy in published literature. The earliest stages of human development are known to be among the most sensitive to stress exposures,especially genotoxic stresses. However,the risks stemming from exposure to LDIR,particularly within the clinical diagnostic relevant dose range,have not been directly evaluated in human embryonic stem cells (hESCs). Here,we describe the dynamics of the whole genome transcriptional responses of different hESC lines to both LDIR and,as a reference,high-dose IR (HDIR). We found that even doses as low as 0.05 Gy could trigger statistically significant transient changes in a rather limited subset of genes in all hESCs lines examined. Gene expression signatures of hESCs exposed to IR appear to be highly dose-,time-,and cell line-dependent. We identified 50 genes constituting consensus gene expression signature as an early response to HDIR across all lines of hESC examined. We observed substantial differences in biological pathways affected by either LDIR or HDIR in hESCs,suggesting that the molecular mechanisms underpinning the responses of hESC may fundamentally differ depending on radiation doses.

Use of adeno-associated virus to enrich cardiomyocytes derived from human stem cells.
Cardiomyocytes derived from human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) show great promise as autologous donor cells to treat heart disease. A major technical obstacle to this approach is that available induction methods often produce heterogeneous cell population with low percentage of cardiomyocytes. Here we describe a cardiac enrichment approach using non-integrating adeno-associated virus (AAV). We first examined several AAV serotypes for their ability to selectively transduce iPSC-derived cardiomyocytes. Result showed that AAV1 demonstrated the highest in vitro transduction efficiency among seven widely used serotypes. Next differentiated iPSC derivatives were transduced with drug-selectable AAV1 expressing neomycin resistance gene. Selection with G418 enriched the cardiac cell fraction from 27% to 57% in two weeks. Compared to other enrichment strategies such as integrative genetic selection,mitochondria labeling or surface marker cell sorting,this simple AAV method described herein bypasses antibody or dye labeling. These findings provide proof-of-concept for large-scale cardiomyocyte enrichment by exploiting AAV's intrinsic tissue tropism.

Pathogenesis of ELANE-mutant severe neutropenia revealed by induced pluripotent stem cells.
Severe congenital neutropenia (SCN) is often associated with inherited heterozygous point mutations in ELANE,which encodes neutrophil elastase (NE). However,a lack of appropriate models to recapitulate SCN has substantially hampered the understanding of the genetic etiology and pathobiology of this disease. To this end,we generated both normal and SCN patient-derived induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs),and performed genome editing and differentiation protocols that recapitulate the major features of granulopoiesis. Pathogenesis of ELANE point mutations was the result of promyelocyte death and differentiation arrest,and was associated with NE mislocalization and activation of the unfolded protein response/ER stress (UPR/ER stress). Similarly,high-dose G-CSF (or downstream signaling through AKT/BCL2) rescues the dysgranulopoietic defect in SCN patient-derived iPSCs through C/EBP$$-dependent emergency granulopoiesis. In contrast,sivelestat,an NE-specific small-molecule inhibitor,corrected dysgranulopoiesis by restoring normal intracellular NE localization in primary granules; ameliorating UPR/ER stress; increasing expression of CEBPA,but not CEBPB; and promoting promyelocyte survival and differentiation. Together,these data suggest that SCN disease pathogenesis includes NE mislocalization,which in turn triggers dysfunctional survival signaling and UPR/ER stress. This paradigm has the potential to be clinically exploited to achieve therapeutic responses using lower doses of G-CSF combined with targeting to correct NE mislocalization.

Sendai Virus-Based Reprogramming of Mesenchymal Stromal/Stem Cells from Umbilical Cord Wharton's Jelly into Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells.
In an attempt to bring pluripotent stem cell biology closer to reaching its full potential,many groups have focused on improving reprogramming protocols over the past several years. The episomal modified Sendai virus-based vector has emerged as one of the most practical ones. Here we describe reprogramming of mesenchymal stromal/stem cells (MSC) derived from umbilical cord Wharton's Jelly into induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) using genome non-integrating Sendai virus-based vectors. The detailed protocols of iPSC colony cryopreservation (vitrification) and adaption to feeder-free culture conditions are also included.

Cardiac differentiation of human pluripotent stem cells in scalable suspension culture.
Cardiomyocytes (CMs) generated from human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) are a potential cell source for regenerative therapies,drug discovery and disease modeling. All these applications require a routine supply of relatively large quantities of in vitro-generated CMs. This protocol describes a suspension culture-based strategy for the generation of hPSC-CMs as cell-only aggregates,which facilitates process development and scale-up. Aggregates are formed for 4 d in hPSC culture medium followed by 10 d of directed differentiation by applying chemical Wnt pathway modulators. The protocol is applicable to static multiwell formats supporting fast adaptation to specific hPSC line requirements. We also demonstrate how to apply the protocol using stirred tank bioreactors at a 100-ml scale,providing a well-controlled upscaling platform for CM production. In bioreactors,the generation of 40-50 million CMs per differentiation batch at textgreater80% purity without further lineage enrichment can been achieved within 24 d.

Using patient-specific induced pluripotent stem cells to interrogate the pathogenicity of a novel retinal pigment epithelium-specific 65 kDa cryptic splice site mutation and confirm eligibility for enrollment into a clinical gene augmentation trial
Retinal pigment epithelium-specific 65 kDa (RPE65)-associated Leber congenital amaurosis is an autosomal recessive disease that results in reduced visual acuity and night blindness beginning at birth. It is one of the few retinal degenerative disorders for which promising clinical gene transfer trials are currently underway. However,the ability to enroll patients in a gene augmentation trial is dependent on the identification of 2 bona fide disease-causing mutations,and there are some patients with the phenotype of RPE65-associated disease who might benefit from gene transfer but are ineligible because 2 disease-causing genetic variations have not yet been identified. Some such patients have novel mutations in RPE65 for which pathogenicity is difficult to confirm. The goal of this study was to determine if an intronic mutation identified in a 2-year-old patient with presumed RPE65-associated disease was truly pathogenic and grounds for inclusion in a clinical gene augmentation trial. Sequencing of the RPE65 gene revealed 2 mutations: (1) a previously identified disease-causing exonic leucine-to-proline mutation (L408P) and (2) a novel single point mutation in intron 3 (IVS3-11) resulting in an AtextgreaterG change. RT-PCR analysis using RNA extracted from control human donor eye-derived primary RPE,control iPSC-RPE cells,and proband iPSC-RPE cells revealed that the identified IVS3-11 variation caused a splicing defect that resulted in a frameshift and insertion of a premature stop codon. In this study,we demonstrate how patient-specific iPSCs can be used to confirm pathogenicity of unknown mutations,which can enable positive clinical outcomes.

Differential responses of induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes to anisotropic strain depends on disease status
Primary dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a non-ischemic heart disease with impaired pumping function of the heart. In this study,we used human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (iPSC-CMs) from a healthy volunteer and a primary DCM patient to investigate the impact of DCM on iPSC-CMs' responses to different types of anisotropic strain. A bioreactor system was established that generates cardiac-mimetic forces of 150 kPa at 5% anisotropic cyclic strain and 1. Hz frequency. After confirming cardiac induction of the iPSCs,it was determined that fibronectin was favorable to other extracellular matrix protein coatings (gelatin,laminin,vitronectin) in terms of viable cell area and density,and was therefore selected as the coating for further study. When iPSC-CMs were exposed to three strain conditions (no strain,5% static strain,and 5% cyclic strain),the static strain elicited significant induction of sarcomere components in comparison to other strain conditions. However,this induction occurred only in iPSC-CMs from a healthy volunteer (control iPSC-CMs")�

Long-term culture and cryopreservation does not affect the stability and functionality of human embryonic stem cell-derived hepatocyte-like cells
Human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) are predicted to be an unlimited source of hepatocytes which can pave the way for applications such as cell replacement therapies or as a model of human development or even to predict the hepatotoxicity of drug compounds. We have optimized a 23-d differentiation protocol to generate hepatocyte-like cells (HLCs) from hESCs,obtaining a relatively pure population which expresses the major hepatic markers and is functional and mature. The stability of the HLCs in terms of hepato-specific marker expression and functionality was found to be intact even after an extended period of in vitro culture and cryopreservation. The hESC-derived HLCs have shown the capability to display sensitivity and an alteration in the level of CYP enzyme upon drug induction. This illustrates the potential of such assays in predicting the hepatotoxicity of a drug compound leading to advancement of pharmacology

Efficient generation of endothelial cells from human pluripotent stem cells and characterization of their functional properties
Although endothelial cells (ECs) have been derived from human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs),large-scale generation of hPSC-ECs remains challenging and their functions are not well characterized. Here we report a simple and efficient three-stage method that allows generation of approximately 98 and 9500 ECs on day 16 and day 34,respectively,from each human embryonic stem cell (hESC) input. The functional properties of hESC-ECs derived in the presence and absence of a TGF$$-inhibitory molecule SB431542 were characterized and compared with those of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). Confluent monolayers formed by SB431542(+) hESC-ECs,SB431542(-) hESC-ECs,and HUVECs showed similar permeability to 10,000 Da dextran,but these cells exhibited striking differences in forming tube-like structures in 3D fibrin gels. The SB431542(+) hESC-ECs were most potent in forming tube-like structures regardless of whether VEGF and bFGF were present in the medium; less potent SB431542(-) hESC-ECs and HUVECs responded differently to VEGF and bFGF,which significantly enhanced the ability of HUVECs to form tube-like structures but had little impact on SB431542(-) hESC-ECs. This study offers an efficient approach to large-scale hPSC-EC production and suggests that the phenotypes and functions of hPSC-ECs derived under different conditions need to be thoroughly examined before their use in technology development.

Fixed single-cell transcriptomic characterization of human radial glial diversity.
The diverse progenitors that give rise to the human neocortex have been difficult to characterize because progenitors,particularly radial glia (RG),are rare and are defined by a combination of intracellular markers,position and morphology. To circumvent these problems,we developed Fixed and Recovered Intact Single-cell RNA (FRISCR),a method for profiling the transcriptomes of individual fixed,stained and sorted cells. Using FRISCR,we profiled primary human RG that constitute only 1% of the midgestation cortex and classified them as ventricular zone-enriched RG (vRG) that express ANXA1 and CRYAB,and outer subventricular zone-localized RG (oRG) that express HOPX. Our study identified vRG and oRG markers and molecular profiles,an essential step for understanding human neocortical progenitor development. FRISCR allows targeted single-cell profiling of any tissues that lack live-cell markers.

Variations in Glycogen Synthesis in Human Pluripotent Stem Cells with Altered Pluripotent States.
Human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) represent very promising resources for cell-based regenerative medicine. It is essential to determine the biological implications of some fundamental physiological processes (such as glycogen metabolism) in these stem cells. In this report,we employ electron,immunofluorescence microscopy,and biochemical methods to study glycogen synthesis in hPSCs. Our results indicate that there is a high level of glycogen synthesis (0.28 to 0.62 $$g/$$g proteins) in undifferentiated human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) compared with the glycogen levels (0 to 0.25 $$g/$$g proteins) reported in human cancer cell lines. Moreover,we found that glycogen synthesis was regulated by bone morphogenetic protein 4 (BMP-4) and the glycogen synthase kinase 3 (GSK-3) pathway. Our observation of glycogen bodies and sustained expression of the pluripotent factor Oct-4 mediated by the potent GSK-3 inhibitor CHIR-99021 reveals an altered pluripotent state in hPSC culture. We further confirmed glycogen variations under different naïve pluripotent cell growth conditions based on the addition of the GSK-3 inhibitor BIO. Our data suggest that primed hPSCs treated with naïve growth conditions acquire altered pluripotent states,similar to those naïve-like hPSCs,with increased glycogen synthesis. Furthermore,we found that suppression of phosphorylated glycogen synthase was an underlying mechanism responsible for altered glycogen synthesis. Thus,our novel findings regarding the dynamic changes in glycogen metabolism provide new markers to assess the energetic and various pluripotent states in hPSCs. The components of glycogen metabolic pathways offer new assays to delineate previously unrecognized properties of hPSCs under different growth conditions.

Peptide-conjugated hyaluronic acid surface for the culture of human induced pluripotent stem cells under defined conditions
Hyaluronic acid (HA) has been cross-linked to form hydrogel for potential applications in the self-renewal and differentiation of human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) for years. However,HA hydrogel with improved residence time and mechanical integrity that allows the survival of hPSCs under defined conditions is still much needed for clinical applications. In this study,HA was modified with methacrylate functional groups (MeHA) and cross-linked by photo-crosslinking method. After subsequent conjugation with adhesive peptide,these MeHA surfaces demonstrated performance in facilitating human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) proliferation,and good pluripotency maintenance of hiPSCs under defined conditions. Moreover,MeHA films on glass-slides exhibited long residence time and mechanical stability throughout hiPSC culture. Our photo-crosslinkable MeHA possesses great value in accelerating the application of HA hydrogel in hiPSCs proliferation and differentiation with the conjugation of adhesive peptides.
