Affymetrix Human Genome U219 Array (hgu219)
Description
Hepatocyte-like cells (HLCs) are derived from human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) in vitro, but differentiation protocols commonly give rise to a heterogeneous mixture of cells. This variability confounds the evaluation of in vitro functional assays performed using HLCs. We demonstrate the purification of a sub-population of functional HLCs differentiated from multiple hPSC lines using the hepatocyte surface marker Asialoglycoprotein Receptor 1 (ASGR1).
Publication Title

Description
Multipotent and pluripotent stem cells have significant potential as sources for cell replacement therapies. However, the low yield and quality of in vitro differentiated cells produced from various stem cell sources presents a significant limitation for therapeutic applications. The most mature use of these stem cell products is in the field of transfusion medicine, where stem cell-derived red blood cells (RBCs) have clinically-proven potential as alternative transfusion products. To improve upon current approaches for RBC production, we used insight from both common and rare human genetic variation of blood counts to focus on the SH2B3 gene. By producing loss of function of SH2B3 using targeted knockdown and genome editing approaches in human hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells, as well as human pluripotent stem cells, we are able to significantly improve both the quality and yield of in vitro derived RBCs. We illustrate how insight from human genetic variation can assist in the development of broadly applicable approaches that have tremendous value for regenerative medicine.

Description
The utility of human pluripotent stem cells as a tool for understanding disease and as a renewable source of cells for transplantation therapies is dependent on efficient differentiation protocols that convert these cells into relevant adult cell types. Here we report the robust and efficient differentiation of human pluripotent stem cells into adipocytes. We found that inducible expression of PPARG2 in pluripotent stem cell-derived mesenchymal progenitor cells programmed their development towards an adipocyte cell fate. Using this approach, multiple human pluripotent cell lines were differentiated into adipocytes with efficiencies of 85% to 90%. These pluripotent stem cell-derived adipocytes retained their identity independent of transgene expression, could be maintained in culture for several weeks, expressed mature markers, and exhibited mature functional properties such as lipid catabolism in response to a beta-adrenergic stimulus. Global transcriptional and lipid metabolomic analyses further confirmed the identity and maturity of these pluripotent stem cell-derived adipocytes.

Description
Tumor protein p53 is a key regulator of several cellular pathways, including DNA repair, cell cycle and angiogenesis. Kevetrin exhibits p53-dependent as well as independent activity in solid tumors, while its effects on leukemic cells remain unknown. We analyzed the response of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cell lines (TP53 wild-type: OCI-AML3 and MOLM-13; and TP53-mutant: KASUMI-1 and NOMO-1) to kevetrin at a concentration range of 85-340 μM. Kevetrin induced cell growth arrest and apoptosis in all cell lines and in primary cells, with TP53-mutant models displaying a higher sensitivity and p53 induction. Gene expression profiling revealed a common core transcriptional program altered by drug exposure and the downregulation of glycolysis, DNA repair and unfolded protein response signatures. These findings suggest that kevetrin may be a promising therapeutic option for patients with both wild-type and TP53-mutant AML.

Description
Dysfunctions in mitochondria dynamics and metabolism are common pathological processes associated with Parkinson's disease (PD). Recently, it was shown that an inherited form of PD and dementia is caused by new mutations in the OPA1 gene, which encodes for a key player of mitochondrial fusion and structure. iPSC-derived neural cells from these patients exhibited severe mitochondrial fragmentation, respiration impairment, ATP deficits and heightened oxidative stress. Reconstitution of normal levels of OPA1 in PD-derived neural cells normalized mitochondria morphology and function. OPA1 mutated neuronal cultures showed reduced survival in vitro. Intriguingly, selective inhibition of necroptosis effectively rescued this survival deficit. Additionally, dampening necroptosis in MPTP treated mice protected from DA neuronal cell loss. This human iPSC-based model captures both the early pathological events in OPA1 mutant neural cells and the beneficial effects of blocking necroptosis, highlighting this cell death process as a promising therapeutic target for PD. Overall design: 3 replicates for control and 3 replicates for OPA1 F38D mutant cells

Description
We characterized monosaccharide-dependent gene expression in the Drosophila fat body using fructose and glucose. Control and high-sugar diets were compared and RNA-seq was used to identify potential target genes. Overall design: Drosophila were reared on control (0.3 M fructose or glucose) or high sugar (1.7 M fructose or glucose) diets until the wandering third instar stage. Fat bodies were isolated and RNA was extracted to determine the effects of each sugar at different concentrations on gene expression using Illumina RNA-seq.

Description
We compared gene expression in the Drosophila fat body on control and high-sugar diets in order to gain insight into the role of this organ during caloric overload. Differential expression analysis revealed changes in gene expression suggestive of a role for CoA metabolism in the ability to tolerate high-sugar feeding. This led us to perform biochemical and mutant studies supporting a model where CoA is limiting in the face of caloric overload. Overall design: Wild-type Drosophila were reared on control (0.15M sucrose) and high-sugar (0.7M sucrose) diets until the wandering stage. Fat bodies were isolated and RNA extracted to determine the effects of diet on gene expression using Illumina RNA-seq.
