På grund av deras funktioner i näringsmetabolism och avgiftning har hepatocyter ett relativt stort antal mitokondrier jämfört med andra celltyper15. ALCAM tillhör superfamiljen immunglobulin och spelar en roll i celladhesion och migration. Det uttrycks i olika celltyper, inklusive lever-, epitel-, lymfocytiska, myeloida, fibroblast- och neuronala celler16. Genom att använda en kombination av den mitokondriebaserade metoden och ALCAM-antikroppen kunde humana iPS-cellsd...

Embryonala och inducerade pluripotenta stamceller (ES respektive iPS) anses vara lovande cellkällor för regenerativa terapier. Effektiviteten av att differentiera dessa celler till specifika målcellstyper kan dock variera, även när man använder samma cellinje, protokoll och experimentator 1,2,3,4. Denna variabilitet kan tillskrivas den höga känsligheten hos humana ES/iPS-celler för sin miljö. Därför är det för närvarande svårt att konsekvent få fram rena målceller. För att uppnå en mycket säker regenerativ medicin är det avgörande att eliminera proliferativa celler och odifferentierade stamceller i terapeutiska celler, och avancerad reningsteknik för målcellerär avgörande 5,6,7.
En cellsorterare är en enhet som omedelbart analyserar enskilda celler och sorterar levande celler av intresse baserat på de fluorescerande signalstyrkorna, vilket erbjuder en lovande lösning. Detta kan åstadkommas genom antikroppsfärgning av celltypsspecifika ytmarkörer eller genom att använda celltypsspecifika reportergenuttryck. Med hjälp av denna teknik finns det flera rapporter om metoder för att rena pluripotenta stamcellsderiverade kardiomyocyter 8,9,10 och hepatocyter11,12. Hattori et al. utvecklade en innovativ mitokondriell reningsmetod med hjälp av en cellsorterare13. Genom att dra nytta av det faktum att kardiomyocyter har höga energibehov genom mitokondriell aktivitet, kan färgning av cellerna med det levande mitokondrieindikativa färgämnet TMRM (tetrametylrhodaminmetylester) användas för att märka och i hög grad rena kardiomyocyter med FACS från humana ES-cellshärledda embryoidkroppar som innehåller olika celltyper. Frånvaron av tumorigenicitet bekräftades genom teratombildningsanalyser med de renade kardiomyocyterna. Dessutom upptäckte Yamashita et al. oväntat en metod för att rena hepatocyter från humana ES-cellshärledda embryoidkroppar genom att isolera fraktioner med hög mitokondriell aktivitet och ALCAM-positivt uttryck14. Logiken för denna metod är att hepatocyter också har ett relativt högt antal mitokondrier på grund av deras höga konsumtion av ATP för näringsmetabolism och avgiftning15, och hepatocyter uttrycker ALCAM, en medlem av immunglobulinsuperfamiljen, som spelar en roll i celladhesion och migration16.
Tidigare mycket renande metoder för pluripotenta stamcellsderiverade hepatocyter krävde genetiska modifieringar, och icke-genetiska reningsmetoder hade låg effektivitet17. Den mitokondriella icke-genetiska metoden har meriter för att uppnå hög renhet. När leverstamceller behövs kan CD133 och CD13- eller Dlk1-baserade metoder18,19 väljas. Även om noggrannheten i genomredigeringstekniken har utvecklats, kan den potentiella risken för oförutsedda genomiska förändringar (t.ex. karcinogenes) inte helt elimineras. Metoder som bygger på mitokondriell aktivitet, utan att involvera genetisk modifiering, kan vara fria från sådana risker.
Som ett resultat av undersökning av olika mitokondriella indikatorer i neonatala kardiomyocyter hos råtta, observerades att TMRM försvann helt inom 24 timmar, medan andra färgämnen kvarstod i minst 5 dagar13. Dessutom är det viktigt att notera att TMRM och JC-1 inte påverkade cellviabiliteten när de bedömdes med 3-(4,5-dimetyl-tiazol-2-yl)-2,5-difenyltetrazoliumbromid (MTT), medan andra färgämnen uppvisade varierande effekter på cellviabiliteten13. TMRM uppvisar högre säkerhet.
Hittills har flera tvådimensionella (2D) differentieringsmetoder utvecklats som mer effektiva metoder för att inducera differentiering jämfört med tredimensionell (3D) embryoidkroppsbildning. Detta beror på att stegvis differentieringsinducerande föreningar eller cytokiner kan administreras enhetligt till celler på ett 2D-plan, snarare än i ett 3D-utrymme. I denna studie modifierades den tidigare rapporterade metoden20 för att inducera differentiering till humana iPS-cellsderiverade hepatocyter. Här beskrivs detaljerna i procedurerna för den uppdaterade 2D-differentieringen och reningen av hepatocyter som härrör från humana iPS-celler.

application of live mitochondria staining in cell-sorting to purify hepatocytes derived from human induced pluripotent stem cells

Humana embryonala stamceller (ES) och inducerade pluripotenta stamceller (iPS) har potentiella tillämpningar inom cellbaserad regenerativ medicin för behandling av allvarligt sjuka organ på grund av deras obegränsade proliferation och pluripotenta egenskaper. Att differentiera humana ES/iPS-celler till 100 % rena målcellstyper är dock utmanande på grund av deras höga känslighet för miljön. Tumörbildning efter transplantation orsakas av kontaminerade, prolifererande och odifferentierade celler, vilket gör högreningsteknik avgörande för ett säkert genomförande av regenerativ medicin. För att minska risken för tumörbildning har en högreningsteknik utvecklats för humana iPS-cellshärledda hepatocyter. Metoden använder FACS (fluorescence-activated cell sorting) med en kombination av högt mitokondriellt innehåll och cellytemarkören ALCAM (activated leukocyte cell adhesion molecule) utan genetisk modifiering. 97 % ± 0,38 % (n = 5) av de renade hepatocyterna som använde denna metod uppvisade albuminproteinuttryck. Denna artikel syftar till att tillhandahålla detaljerade procedurer för denna metod, som tillämpas på den mest aktuella tvådimensionella differentieringsmetoden för humana iPS-celler till hepatocyter.

Embryonic and induced pluripotent stem cells (ES and iPS, respectively) are considered promising cell sources for regenerative therapies. However, the efficiency of differentiating these cells into specific target cell types can vary, even when using the same cell line, protocol, and experimenter1,2,3,4. This variability may be attributed to the high sensitivity of human ES/iPS cells to their environment. Therefore, it is currently difficult to consistently obtain pure target cells. To achieve highly safe regenerative medicine, it is crucial to eliminate proliferative cells and undifferentiated stem cells in therapeutic cells, and advanced purification technology for target cells is essential5,6,7.
A cell sorter is a device that instantaneously analyzes individual cells and sorts live cells of interest based on the fluorescent signal strengths, offering a promising solution. This can be accomplished through antibody staining of cell type-specific surface markers or by utilizing cell type-specific reporter gene expressions. Using this technique, there are several reports on methods for purifying pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes8,9,10 and hepatocytes11,12. Hattori et al. developed an innovative mitochondrial purification method using a cell sorter13. Taking advantage of the fact that cardiomyocytes have high energy demands through mitochondrial activity, staining the cells with the live mitochondria-indicative dye TMRM (tetramethylrhodamine methyl ester) can be used to label and highly purify cardiomyocytes by FACS from human ES cell-derived embryoid bodies containing various cell types. The absence of tumorigenicity was confirmed by teratoma formation assays with the purified cardiomyocytes. Furthermore, Yamashita et al. unexpectedly discovered a method to purify hepatocytes from human ES cell-derived embryoid bodies by isolating fractions with high mitochondrial activity and ALCAM-positive expression14. The rationale for this method is that hepatocytes also have a relatively high number of mitochondria due to their high consumption of ATP for nutrient metabolism and detoxification15, and hepatocytes express ALCAM, a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily, which plays a role in cell adhesion and migration16.
Previous highly purifying methods for pluripotent stem cell-derived hepatocytes required genetic modifications, and non-genetic purification methods had low efficiency17. The mitochondrial non-genetic method holds merit for achieving high purity. When hepatic progenitor cells are needed, CD133 and CD13- or Dlk1-based methods18,19 can be chosen. Although the accuracy of genome editing technology has advanced, the potential risk of unforeseen genomic changes (e.g., carcinogenesis) cannot be entirely eliminated. Methods based on mitochondrial activity, without involving genetic modification, can be free from such risks.
As a result of examining various mitochondrial indicators in neonatal rat cardiomyocytes, TMRM was observed to disappear completely within 24 h, whereas other dyes remained for at least 5 days13. Moreover, it is important to note that TMRM and JC-1 did not impact cell viability when assessed with the 3-(4,5-dimethyl-thiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay, while other dyes demonstrated varying effects on cell viability13. TMRM demonstrates higher safety.
To date, several two-dimensional (2D) differentiation methods have been developed as more efficient approaches for inducing differentiation compared to three-dimensional (3D) embryoid body formation. This is because step-wise differentiation-inducing compounds or cytokines can be uniformly administered to cells on a 2D plane, rather than in a 3D space. In this study, the previously reported method20 was modified to induce differentiation into human iPS cell-derived hepatocytes.

Applicering av levande mitokondrier färgning vid cellsortering för att rena hepatocyter som härrör från humant inducerade pluripotenta stamceller

The scope of our research is to purify human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived hepatocytes, using without genetic modification. We aim to address the issue of the tumorigenic risk associated with the undifferentiated cells, among those differentiated from human iPS cells. One of the current experimental challenges is a low cell purity, due to the mechanical storage of sorting.We are developing a new purification method, that utilizes the unique metabolism features of hepatocytes, for large-scale purification. One non-cell sorting method for hepatic progenitor cells cannot obtain pure hepatocytes. Another one for mature hepatocytes can only treat a small fraction of hepatocytes, because of the limited expression of the marker protein.In contrast, our approach can obtain hepatocytes at different maturation levels with a higher eve. Human iPS cell-derived hepatocytes are extremely immature, and show more reduced hepatocyte macro expression after purification. Our future goal is to enhance hepatocyte modulation using organoidal technology and day-to-day advancements to regenerative medicine and drug discovery.

Omfattningen av vår forskning är att rena humant inducerade pluripotenta stamcellshärledda hepatocyter, utan genetisk modifiering. Vi strävar efter att ta itu med frågan om den tumörframkallande risk som är förknippad med de odifferentierade cellerna, bland de som är differentierade från humana iPS-celler. En av de nuvarande experimentella utmaningarna är en låg cellrenhet, på grund av den mekaniska lagringen av sortering.Vi utvecklar en ny reningsmetod, som utnyttjar hepatocyternas unika metabolismegenskaper, för storskalig rening. En icke-cellbaserad sorteringsmetod för leverstamceller kan inte erhålla rena hepatocyter. En annan för mogna hepatocyter kan bara behandla en liten del av hepatocyterna, på grund av det begränsade uttrycket av markörproteinet.Däremot kan vårt tillvägagångssätt få hepatocyter på olika mognadsnivåer med en högre eve. Humana iPS-cellsderiverade hepatocyter är extremt omogna och visar mer minskat hepatocytmakrouttryck efter rening. Vårt framtida mål är att förbättra hepatocytmoduleringen med hjälp av organoidal teknik och dagliga framsteg inom regenerativ medicin och läkemedelsutveckling.

Application of Live Mitochondria Staining in Cell-Sorting to Purify Hepatocytes Derived from Human Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells

Human embryonic stem (ES) and induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells have potential applications in cell-based regenerative medicine for treating severely diseased organs due to their unlimited proliferation and pluripotent properties. However, differentiating human ES/iPS cells into 100% pure target cell types is challenging due to their high sensitivity to the environment. Tumorigenesis after transplantation is caused by contaminated, proliferating, and undifferentiated cells, making high-purification technology essential for the safe realization of regenerative medicine. To mitigate the risk of tumorigenesis, a high-purification technology has been developed for human iPS cell-derived hepatocytes. The method employs FACS (fluorescence-activated cell sorting) using a combination of high mitochondrial content and the cell-surface marker ALCAM (activated leukocyte cell adhesion molecule) without genetic modification. 97% &plusmn; 0.38% (n = 5) of the purified hepatocytes using this method exhibited albumin protein expression. This article aims to provide detailed procedures for this method, as applied to the most current two-dimensional differentiation method for human iPS cells into hepatocytes.

Hepatocytes derived from pluripotent stem cells can be purified through cell sorting, using a combination of mitochondrial and activated leukocyte cell adhesion molecule (ALCAM, also known as CD166) staining.

Hepatic Differentiation of Human-Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells in 2D Cultures

To begin, coat each well of a six-well plate with one milliliter of basement membrane matrix and incubate at 37 degrees Celsius for one hour. Remove the coated matrix from the plate and add human-induced pluripotent stem cells prepared in AK02N medium supplemented with 10 micromolar ROCK inhibitor. Incubate the cells at 37 degrees Celsius and 5%carbon dioxide for three days.After three days, on day zero of the initiating hepatic differentiation, wash the cells once with RPMI 1640 medium. Next, to initiate endoderm differentiation, add RPMI B27 GlutaMAX supplemented with three to six micromolar CHIR 99021 and 100 nanograms per milliliter Activin A into the plate. Incubate the cells at 37 degrees Celsius and 5%carbon dioxide for 24 hours.On day one, replace the existing medium with RPMI B27 GlutaMAX supplemented with 50 nanograms per milliliter of Activin A.Incubate the cells at 37 degrees Celsius and 5%carbon dioxide for 24 hours. On day two, to induce hepatic progenitor differentiation, replace the existing medium with RPMI B27 GlutaMAX medium supplemented with 1%dimethyl sulfoxide, and continue incubation for up to five days. On day seven, to initiate hepatocyte maturation, switch to hepatocyte maturation medium and incubate for 20 days at 37 degrees Celsius and 5%carbon dioxide.On day 27, human-induced pluripotent stem cells displayed polygonal cell shapes and rounded nuclei, characteristics of hepatocytes.

Cell Preparation for Purification of Human-Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells-Derived Hepatocytes

After 27 days of initiating hepatic differentiation of human induced pluripotent stem cells, wash the cells with two milliliters of PBS per well. Prepare the enzyme solution in ADS buffer using the given components. Add one milliliter of solution per well of a six well plate.Place the plate at 37 degrees Celsius on a rotating shaker for about two hours to detach the cells from the plate. Confirm the cell detachment under a microscope, then pipette the cell suspension to disperse into single cells, and collect them in a 50 milliliter tube containing the hepatocyte maturation medium. Centrifuge the cell suspension at 200G for five minutes at 18 degrees Celsius.And using an aspirator, remove the supernatant. To stain the mitochondria of cells, resuspend the pellet in five milliliters of hepatocyte maturation medium containing 100 nanomolar TMRM. Incubate the cells for 30 minutes at 37 degrees Celsius while protecting them from light.Again, centrifuge the cell suspension and resuspend the pellet in one to five milliliters of cold ADS buffer containing 2%FBS. After cell counting, aliquot 500, 000 cells to a 1.5 milliliter tube and label it as the no primary antibody control. Centrifuge the remaining cell suspension at 200G for five minutes at four degrees Celsius, and remove the supernatant.Add 100 microliters of diluted primary antibody per one million cells. Transfer the cell suspension to a 1.5 milliliter tube and incubate on ice for 50 minutes. After incubation, centrifuge the cell suspension and wash the cells twice with cold ADS buffer containing 2%FBS.Now add 100 microliters of diluted secondary antibody per one million cells to the primary antibody, stained or unstained cells, and incubate for 30 minutes on ice. Again, centrifuge the cell suspension and wash the cells twice with cold ADS buffer containing 2%FBS. After resuspending the cells in ADS buffer, filter them through a snap cap cell strainer and place the tube on ice.

Fluorescence-Activated Cell Sorting of Hepatocytes Derived from Human Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells

To begin, set up the fluorescence-activated cell sorting, or FACS machine, for cell sorting following the manufacturer's instructions. Place the sample tube on the FACS machine and load it. Gate TMRM-high and ALCAM negative population in the P1 region to sort non-hepatocytes.Then gate the TMRM high and ALCAM positive population in the P2 region to sort hepatocytes. Collect sorted cells in 15-milliliter collection tubes containing hepatocyte maturation medium. After sorting, remove the collection tube from the FACS machine.Centrifuge the sorted cell suspension at 200 G for five minutes at 18 degrees Celsius. Remove the supernatant, and re-suspend the pellet in two milliliters of hepatocyte maturation medium with 10 micromolar rock inhibitor and 20 nanomolar cyclosporine A.Seed the cells on mitomycin C-treated mouse embryonic fibroblasts with hepatocyte maturation medium in a six-well plate. Culture the cells in a 37-degree Celsius carbon dioxide incubator for five days before immuno staining for hepatocyte purity test.FACS analysis conducted on day 27 of hepatic differentiation revealed TMRM high and ALCAM positive population. The immunohistochemical staining of P1 and P2 cells cultured on mouse embryonic fibroblasts after sorting is shown. A purity test by counting albumin-positive cells showed 0%of P1, and approximately 97%of P2 cells were hepatocyte-like cells.
