Non-integrating episomal plasmid-based reprogramming of human amniotic fluid stem cells into induced pluripotent stem cells in chemically defined conditions.

Amniotic fluid stem cells (AFSC) represent an attractive potential cell source for fetal and pediatric cell-based therapies. However,upgrading them to pluripotency confers refractoriness toward senescence,higher proliferation rate and unlimited differentiation potential. AFSC were observed to rapidly and efficiently reacquire pluripotency which together with their easy recovery makes them an attractive cell source for reprogramming. The reprogramming process as well as the resulting iPSC epigenome could potentially benefit from the unspecialized nature of AFSC. iPSC derived from AFSC also have potential in disease modeling,such as Down syndrome or $\$-thalassemia. Previous experiments involving AFSC reprogramming have largely relied on integrative vector transgene delivery and undefined serum-containing,feeder-dependent culture. Here,we describe non-integrative oriP/EBNA-1 episomal plasmid-based reprogramming of AFSC into iPSC and culture in fully chemically defined xeno-free conditions represented by vitronectin coating and E8 medium,a system that we found uniquely suited for this purpose. The derived AF-iPSC lines uniformly expressed a set of pluripotency markers Oct3/4,Nanog,Sox2,SSEA-1,SSEA-4,TRA-1-60,TRA-1-81 in a pattern typical for human primed PSC. Additionally,the cells formed teratomas,and were deemed pluripotent by PluriTest,a global expression microarray-based in-silico pluripotency assay. However,we found that the PluriTest scores were borderline,indicating a unique pluripotent signature in the defined condition. In the light of potential future clinical translation of iPSC technology,non-integrating reprogramming and chemically defined culture are more acceptable. View Publication

Genome-wide Studies Reveal that H3K4me3 Modification in Bivalent Genes is Dynamically Regulated During the Pluripotent Cell Cycle and Stabilized Upon Differentiation

textlessptextgreaterStem cell phenotypes are reflected by post-translational histone modifications,and this chromatin-related memory must be mitotically inherited to maintain cell identity through proliferative expansion. In human embryonic stem cells (hESCs),bivalent genes with both activating (H3K4me3) and repressive (H3K27me3) histone modifications are essential to sustain pluripotency. Yet the molecular mechanisms by which this epigenetic landscape is transferred to progeny cells remains to be established. By mapping genomic enrichment of H3K4me3/H3K27me3 in pure populations of hESCs in G2,mitotic,and G1 phases of the cell cycle,we found striking variations in the levels of H3K4me3 through the G2-M-G1 transition. Analysis of a representative set of bivalent genes revealed that chromatin modifiers involved in H3K4 methylation/demethylation are recruited to bivalent gene promoters in a cell cycle–dependent fashion. Interestingly,bivalent genes enriched with H3K4me3 exclusively during mitosis undergo the strongest upregulation after induction of differentiation. Furthermore,the histone-modification signature of genes that remain bivalent in differentiated cells resolves into a cell cycle–independent pattern after lineage commitment. These results establish a new dimension of chromatin regulation important in maintenance of pluripotency.textless/ptextgreater View Publication

The role of ARX in human pancreatic endocrine specification

The in vitro differentiation of human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) offers a model system to explore human development. Humans with mutations in the transcription factor Aristaless Related Homeobox (ARX) often suffer from the syndrome X-linked lissencephaly with ambiguous genitalia (XLAG),affecting many cell types including those of the pancreas. Indeed,XLAG pancreatic islets lack glucagon and pancreatic polypeptide-positive cells but retain somatostatin,insulin,and ghrelin-positive cells. To further examine the role of ARX in human pancreatic endocrine development,we utilized genomic editing in hESCs to generate deletions in ARX. ARX knockout hESCs retained pancreatic differentiation capacity and ARX knockout endocrine cells were biased toward somatostatin-positive cells (94% of endocrine cells) with reduced pancreatic polypeptide (rarely detected),glucagon (90% reduced) and insulin-positive (65% reduced) lineages. ARX knockout somatostatin-positive cells shared expression patterns with human fetal and adult $$-cells. Differentiated ARX knockout cells upregulated PAX4,NKX2.2,ISL1,HHEX,PCSK1,PCSK2 expression while downregulating PAX6 and IRX2. Re-expression of ARX in ARX knockout pancreatic progenitors reduced HHEX and increased PAX6 and insulin expression following differentiation. Taken together these data suggest that ARX plays a key role in pancreatic endocrine fate specification of pancreatic polypeptide,somatostatin,glucagon and insulin positive cells from hESCs.

A novel intranuclear RNA vector system for long-term stem cell modification.

Genetically modified stem and progenitor cells have emerged as a promising regenerative platform in the treatment of genetic and degenerative disorders,highlighted by their successful therapeutic use in inherent immunodeficiencies. However,biosafety concerns over insertional mutagenesis resulting from integrating recombinant viral vectors have overshadowed the widespread clinical applications of genetically modified stem cells. Here,we report an RNA-based episomal vector system,amenable for long-term transgene expression in stem cells. Specifically,we used a unique intranuclear RNA virus,Borna disease virus (BDV),as the gene transfer vehicle,capable of persistent infections in various cell types. BDV-based vectors allowed for long-term transgene expression in mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) without affecting cellular morphology,cell surface CD105 expression,or the adipogenicity of MSCs. Similarly,replication-defective BDV vectors achieved long-term transduction of human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs),while maintaining the ability to differentiate into three embryonic germ layers. Thus,the BDV-based vectors offer a genomic modification-free,episomal RNA delivery system for sustained stem cell transduction.Gene Therapy accepted article preview online,03 December 2015. doi:10.1038/gt.2015.108.

Histone modification profiling reveals differential signatures associated with human embryonic stem cell self-renewal and differentiation

In this study,we trace developmental stages using epigenome changes in human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) treated with drugs modulating either self-renewal or differentiation. Based on microscopy,qPCR and flow cytometry,we classified the treatment outcome as inducing pluripotency (hESC,flurbiprofen and gatifloxacin),mesendoderm (sinomenine),differentiation (cyamarin,digoxin,digitoxin,selegeline and theanine) and lineage-commitment (RA). When we analyzed histone PTMs that imprinted these gene and protein expressions,the above classification was reassorted. Hyperacetylation at H3K4,9,14,18,56 and 122 as well as H4K5,8,12 and 16 emerged as the pluripotency signature of hESCs. Methylations especially of H3 at K9,K20,K27 and K36 characterized differentiation initiation as seen in no-drug control and fluribiprofen. Sinomenine-treated cells clustered close to differentiation initiators" View Publication

Integrated Analysis of Contractile Kinetics, Force Generation, and Electrical Activity in Single Human Stem Cell-Derived Cardiomyocytes.

The quantitative analysis of cardiomyocyte function is essential for stem cell-based approaches for the in vitro study of human cardiac physiology and pathophysiology. We present a method to comprehensively assess the function of single human pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocyte (hPSC-CMs) through simultaneous quantitative analysis of contraction kinetics,force generation,and electrical activity. We demonstrate that statistical analysis of movies of contracting hPSC-CMs can be used to quantify changes in cellular morphology over time and compute contractile kinetics. Using a biomechanical model that incorporates substrate stiffness,we calculate cardiomyocyte force generation at single-cell resolution and validate this approach with conventional traction force microscopy. The addition of fluorescent calcium indicators or membrane potential dyes allows the simultaneous analysis of contractility and calcium handling or action potential morphology. Accordingly,our approach has the potential for broad application in the study of cardiac disease,drug discovery,and cardiotoxicity screening. View Publication

Lumen Formation Is an Intrinsic Property of Isolated Human Pluripotent Stem Cells.

We demonstrate that dissociated human pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) are intrinsically programmed to form lumens. PSCs form two-cell cysts with a shared apical domain within 20 hr of plating; these cysts collapse to form monolayers after 5 days. Expression of pluripotency markers is maintained throughout this time. In two-cell cysts,an apical domain,marked by EZRIN and atypical PKC$\$,is surrounded by apically targeted organelles (early endosomes and Golgi). Molecularly,actin polymerization,regulated by ARP2/3 and mammalian diaphanous-related formin 1 (MDIA),promotes lumen formation,whereas actin contraction,mediated by MYOSIN-II,inhibits this process. Finally,we show that lumenal shape can be manipulated in bioengineered micro-wells. Since lumen formation is an indispensable step in early mammalian development,this system can provide a powerful model for investigation of this process in a controlled environment. Overall,our data establish that lumenogenesis is a fundamental cell biological property of human PSCs. View Publication

Generation of Chimeras from Porcine Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells

Pig induced pluripotent stem cells (piPSCs) offer a great opportunity and a number of advantages in the generation of transgenic animals. These immortalized cells can undergo multiple rounds of genetic modifications (e.g.,gene knock-in,knockout) and selection leading to animals that have optimized traits of biomedical or agricultural interests. In this chapter we describe the production and characterization of piPSCs,microinjection of piPSCs into embryos,embryo transfer and production of chimeric animals based on successful protocols.

Generation of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) from adult canine fibroblasts

Induced pluripotent stem cells hold great potential in regenerative medicine as it enables to generate pluripotent stem cells from any available cell types. Ectopic expression of four transcription factors (Oct4,Sox2,Klf4,and c-Myc) can reprogram fibroblasts directly to pluripotency as shown in multiple species. Here,we describe detailed protocols for generation of iPSCs from adult canine fibroblasts. Robust canine iPSCs will provide powerful tools not only to study human diseases,but also for the development of therapeutic approaches. View Publication

Rapid generation of sub-type, region-specific neurons and neural networks from human pluripotent stem cell-derived neurospheres

Stem cell-based neuronal differentiation has provided a unique opportunity for disease modeling and regenerative medicine. Neurospheres are the most commonly used neuroprogenitors for neuronal differentiation,but they often clump in culture,which has always represented a challenge for neurodifferentiation. In this study,we report a novel method and defined culture conditions for generating sub-type or region-specific neurons from human embryonic and induced pluripotent stem cells derived neurosphere without any genetic manipulation. Round and bright-edged neurospheres were generated in a supplemented knockout serum replacement medium (SKSRM) with 10% CO2,which doubled the expression of the NESTIN,PAX6 and FOXG1 genes compared with those cultured with 5% CO2. Furthermore,an additional step (AdSTEP) was introduced to fragment the neurospheres and facilitate the formation of a neuroepithelial-type monolayer that we termed the neurosphederm". The large neural tube-type rosette (NTTR) structure formed from the neurosphederm View Publication
