Cost-effective differentiation of hepatocyte-like cells from human pluripotent stem cells using small molecules.
Significant efforts have been invested into the differentiation of stem cells into functional hepatocyte-like cells that can be used for cell therapy,disease modeling and drug screening. Most of these efforts have been concentrated on the use of growth factors to recapitulate developmental signals under in vitro conditions. Using small molecules instead of growth factors would provide an attractive alternative since small molecules are cell-permeable and cheaper than growth factors. We have developed a protocol for the differentiation of human embryonic stem cells into hepatocyte-like cells using a predominantly small molecule-based approach (SM-Hep). This 3 step differentiation strategy involves the use of optimized concentrations of LY294002 and bromo-indirubin-3'-oxime (BIO) for the generation of definitive endoderm; sodium butyrate and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) for the generation of hepatoblasts and SB431542 for differentiation into hepatocyte-like cells. Activin A is the only growth factor required in this protocol. Our results showed that SM-Hep were morphologically and functionally similar or better compared to the hepatocytes derived from the growth-factor induced differentiation (GF-Hep) in terms of expression of hepatic markers,urea and albumin production and cytochrome P450 (CYP1A2 and CYP3A4) activities. Cell viability assays following treatment with paradigm hepatotoxicants Acetaminophen,Chlorpromazine,Diclofenac,Digoxin,Quinidine and Troglitazone showed that their sensitivity to these drugs was similar to human primary hepatocytes (PHHs). Using SM-Hep would result in 67% and 81% cost reduction compared to GF-Hep and PHHs respectively. Therefore,SM-Hep can serve as a robust and cost effective replacement for PHHs for drug screening and development.

Inhibitory effects of neural stem cells derived from human embryonic stem cells on differentiation and function of monocyte-derived dendritic cells
Neural stem cells (NSCs) possess immunosuppressive characteristics,but effects of NSCs on human dendritic cells (DCs),the most important antigen presenting cells,are less well studied. We used an in vitro approach to evaluate the effects of human NSCs on differentiation of human blood CD14+ monocytes into DCs. NSCs derived from H1 human embryonic stem cells (hESC-NSCs) and human ReNcell NSC line,as well as human bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs),were tested. We observed that in response to treatment with interleukin-4 and granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor CD14+ monocytes co-cultured with NSCs were able to down-regulate CD14 and up-regulate the differentiation marker CD1a,whereas MSC co-culture strongly inhibited CD1a expression and supported prolonged expression of CD14. A similar difference between NSCs and MSCs was noted when lipopolysaccharides were included to induce maturation of monocyte-derived DCs. However,when effects on the function of derived DCs were investigated,NSCs suppressed the elevation of the DC maturation marker CD83,although not the up-regulation of costimulatory molecules CD80,CD86 and CD40,and impaired the functional capacity of the derived DCs to stimulate alloreactive T cells. We did not observe any obvious difference between hESC-NSCs and ReNcell NSCs in inhibiting DC maturation and function. Our data suggest that although human NSCs are less effective than human MSCs in suppressing monocyte differentiation into DCs,these stem cells can still affect the function of DCs,ultimately regulating specific immune responses.

TGFbeta promotes conversion of CD16+ peripheral blood NK cells into CD16- NK cells with similarities to decidual NK cells.
During pregnancy the uterine decidua is populated by large numbers of natural killer (NK) cells with a phenotype CD56(superbright)CD16(-)CD9(+)KIR(+) distinct from both subsets of peripheral blood NK cells. Culture of highly purified CD16(+)CD9(-) peripheral blood NK cells in medium containing TGFbeta1 resulted in a transition to CD16(-)CD9(+) NK cells resembling decidual NK cells. Decidual stromal cells,when isolated and cultured in vitro,were found to produce TGFbeta1. Incubation of peripheral blood NK cells with conditioned medium from decidual stromal cells mirrored the effects of TGFbeta1. Similar changes may occur upon NK cell entry into the decidua or other tissues expressing substantial TGFbeta. In addition,Lin(-)CD34(+)CD45(+) hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells could be isolated from decidual tissue. These progenitors also produced NK cells when cultured in conditioned medium from decidual stromal cells supplemented with IL-15 and stem cell factor.

A critical role for phosphatase haplodeficiency in the selective suppression of deletion 5q MDS by lenalidomide.
Lenalidomide is the first karyotype-selective therapeutic approved for the treatment of myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) owing to high rates of erythroid and cytogenetic response in patients with chromosome 5q deletion [del(5q)]. Although haploinsufficiency for the RPS14 gene and others encoded within the common deleted region (CDR) have been implicated in the pathogenesis of the del(5q) phenotype,the molecular basis of the karyotype specificity of lenalidomide remains unexplained. We focused our analysis on possible haplodeficient enzymatic targets encoded within the CDR that play key roles in cell-cycle regulation. We show that the dual specificity phosphatases,Cdc25C and PP2Acalpha,which are coregulators of the G(2)-M checkpoint,are inhibited by lenalidomide. Gene expression was lower in MDS and acute myeloid leukemia (AML) specimens with del(5q) compared with those with alternate karyotypes. Lenalidomide inhibited phosphatase activity either directly (Cdc25C) or indirectly (PP2A) with corresponding retention of inhibitory phospho-tyrosine residues. Treatment of del(5q) AML cells with lenalidomide induced G(2) arrest and apoptosis,whereas there was no effect in nondel(5q) AML cells. Small interfering RNA (shRNA) suppression of Cdc25C and PP2Acalpha gene expression recapitulated del(5q) susceptibility to lenalidomide with induction of G(2) arrest and apoptosis in both U937 and primary nondel(5q) MDS cells. These data establish a role for allelic haplodeficiency of the lenalidomide inhibitable Cdc25C and PP2Acalpha phosphatases in the selective drug sensitivity of del(5q) MDS.

Viable mononuclear cell stability study for implementation in a proficiency testing program: impact of shipment conditions.
The impact of shipping temperatures and preservation media used during transport of either peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) or Jurkat cells was assessed,in view of implementing of a proficiency testing scheme on mononuclear cell viability. Samples were analyzed before and after shipment at different temperatures (ambient temperature,dry ice,and liquid nitrogen) and in different preservation media (serum with cryoprotectant,commercial cryopreservation solution,and room temperature transport medium). Sample quality was assessed by viability assays (Trypan Blue dye exclusion,flow cytometry,Cell Analysis System cell counting (CASY)),and by ELISpot functional assay. The liquid nitrogen storage and shipment were found to be the most stable conditions to preserve cell viability and functionality. However,we show that alternative high quality shipment conditions for viable cells are dry ice shipment and commercial cryopreservation solution. These were also cost-efficient shipment conditions,satisfying the requirements of a proficiency testing scheme for viable mononuclear cells. Room temperature transport medium dramatically and adversely affected the integrity of mononuclear cells.

Proinflammatory isoforms of IL-32 as novel and robust biomarkers for control failure in HIV-infected slow progressors.
HIV-infected slow progressors (SP) represent a heterogeneous group of subjects who spontaneously control HIV infection without treatment for several years while showing moderate signs of disease progression. Under conditions that remain poorly understood,a subgroup of these subjects experience failure of spontaneous immunological and virological control. Here we determined the frequency of SP subjects who showed loss of HIV control within our Canadian Cohort of HIV(+) Slow Progressors and identified the proinflammatory cytokine IL-32 as a robust biomarker for control failure. Plasmatic levels of the proinflammatory isoforms of IL-32 (mainly β and γ) at earlier clinic visits positively correlated with the decline of CD4 T-cell counts,increased viral load,lower CD4/CD8 ratio and levels of inflammatory markers (sCD14 and IL-6) at later clinic visits. We present here a proof-of-concept for the use of IL-32 as a predictive biomarker for disease progression in SP subjects and identify IL-32 as a potential therapeutic target.

Epithelial cell specific Raptor is required for initiation of type 2 mucosal immunity in small intestine.
Intestinal tuft cells are one of 4 secretory cell linages in the small intestine and the source of IL-25,a critical initiator of the type 2 immune response to parasite infection. When Raptor,a critical scaffold protein for mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1),was acutely deleted in intestinal epithelium via Tamoxifen injection in Tritrichomonas muris (Tm) infected mice,tuft cells,IL-25 in epithelium and IL-13 in the mesenchyme were significantly reduced,but Tm burden was not affected. When Tm infected mice were treated with rapamycin,DCLK1 and IL-25 expression in enterocytes and IL-13 expression in mesenchyme were diminished. After massive small bowel resection,tuft cells and Tm were diminished due to the diet used postoperatively. The elimination of Tm and subsequent re-infection of mice with Tm led to type 2 immune response only in WT,but Tm colonization in both WT and Raptor deficient mice. When intestinal organoids were stimulated with IL-4,tuft cells and IL-25 were induced in both WT and Raptor deficient organoids. In summary,our study reveals that enterocyte specific Raptor is required for initiating a type 2 immune response which appears to function through the regulation of mTORC1 activity.

Rational bioprocess design for human pluripotent stem cell expansion and endoderm differentiation based on cellular dynamics.
We present a predictive bioprocess design strategy employing cell- and molecular-level analysis of rate-limiting steps in human pluripotent stem cell (hPSC) expansion and differentiation,and apply it to produce definitive endoderm (DE) progenitors using a scalable directed-differentiation technology. We define a bioprocess optimization parameter (L; targeted cell Loss) and,with quantitative cell division tracking and fate monitoring,identify and overcome key suspension bioprocess bottlenecks. Adapting process operating conditions to pivotal parameters (single cell survival and growth rate) in a cell-line-specific manner enabled adherent-equivalent expansion of hPSCs in feeder- and matrix-free defined-medium suspension culture. Predominantly instructive differentiation mechanisms were found to underlie a subsequent 18-fold expansion,during directed differentiation,to high-purity DE competent for further commitment along pancreatic and hepatic lineages. This study demonstrates that iPSC expansion and differentiation conditions can be prospectively specified to guide the enhanced production of target cells in a scale-free directed differentiation system.

A role for intracellular calcium downstream of G-protein signaling in undifferentiated human embryonic stem cell culture
Multiple signalling pathways maintain human embryonic stem cells (hESC) in an undifferentiated state. Here we sought to define the significance of G protein signal transduction in the preservation of this state distinct from other cellular processes. Continuous treatment with drugs targeting G(αs)-,G(α-i/o)- and G(α-q/11)-subunit signalling mediators were assessed in independent hESC lines after 7days to discern effects on normalised alkaline phosphatase positive colony frequency vs total cell content. This identified PLCβ,intracellular free calcium and CAMKII kinase activity downstream of G(α-q/11) as of particular importance to the former. To confirm the significance of this finding we generated an agonist-responsive hESC line transgenic for a G(α-q/11) subunit-coupled receptor and demonstrated that an undifferentiated state could be promoted in the presence of an agonist without exogenously supplied bFGF and that this correlated with elevated intracellular calcium. Similarly,treatment of unmodified hESCs with a range of intracellular free calcium-modulating drugs in biologically defined mTESR culture system lacking exogenous bFGF promoted an hESC phenotype after 1week of continuous culture as defined by co-expression of OCT4 and NANOG. At least one of these drugs,lysophosphatidic acid significantly elevates phosphorylation of calmodulin and STAT3 in this culture system (ptextless0.05). These findings substantiate a role for G-protein and calcium signalling in undifferentiated hESC culture.

Fibroblast Growth Factor Receptor Signaling Is Essential for Normal Mammary Gland Development and Stem Cell Function
Fibroblast growth factor (FGF) signaling plays an important role in embryonic stem cells and adult tissue homeostasis,but the function of FGFs in mammary gland stem cells is less well defined. Both FGFR1 and FGFR2 are expressed in basal and luminal mammary epithelial cells (MECs),suggesting that together they might play a role in mammary gland development and stem cell dynamics. Previous studies have demonstrated that the deletion of FGFR2 resulted only in transient developmental defects in branching morphogenesis. Using a conditional deletion strategy,we investigated the consequences of FGFR1 deletion alone and then the simultaneous deletion of both FGFR1 and FGFR2 in the mammary epithelium. FGFR1 deletion using a keratin 14 promoter-driven Cre-recombinase resulted in an early,yet transient delay in development. However,no reduction in functional outgrowth potential was observed following limiting dilution transplantation analysis. In contrast,a significant reduction in outgrowth potential was observed upon the deletion of both FGFR1 and FGFR2 in MECs using adenovirus-Cre. Additionally,using a fluorescent reporter mouse model to monitor Cre-mediated recombination,we observed a competitive disadvantage following transplantation of both FGFR1/R2-null MECs,most prominently in the basal epithelial cells. This correlated with the complete loss of the mammary stem cell repopulating population in the FGFR1/R2-attenuated epithelium. FGFR1/R2-null MECs were partially rescued in chimeric outgrowths containing wild-type MECs,suggesting the potential importance of paracrine mechanisms involved in the maintenance of the basal epithelial stem cells. These studies document the requirement for functional FGFR signaling in mammary stem cells during development.

Preclinical specificity & activity of a fully human 41BB-expressing anti-CD19 CART- therapy for treatment-resistant autoimmune disease
Over 4% of the global population is estimated to live with autoimmune disease,necessitating immunosuppressive treatment that is often chronic,not curative,and carries associated risks. B cells have emerged as key players in disease pathogenesis,as evidenced by partial responsiveness to B cell depletion by antibody-based therapies. However,these treatments often have transient effects due to incomplete depletion of tissue-resident B cells. Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells targeting B cells have demonstrated efficacy in refractory systemic lupus erythematosus. To this end,we developed an anti-CD19 CAR T cell product candidate,CABA-201,containing a clinically evaluated fully human CD19 binder (IC78) with a 4-1BB costimulatory domain and CD3 zeta stimulation domain for treatment refractory autoimmune disease. Here,we demonstrate specific cytotoxic activity of CABA-201 against CD19+ Nalm6 cells with no off-target effects on primary human cells. Novel examination of CABA-201 generated from primary T cells from multiple patients with autoimmune disease displayed robust CAR surface expression and effective elimination of the intended target autologous CD19+ B cells in vitro. Together,these findings support the tolerability and activity of CABA-201 for clinical development in patients with autoimmune disease. Graphical abstract Basu and colleagues show CABA-201,a B cell-targeting CAR T cell product with a fully human CD19 binder and 4-1BB costimulatory domain,can precisely eliminate autoimmune patient B cells without off-target deleterious effects,demonstrating its ability as a robust therapeutic for B cell-driven autoimmune disorders.
