Human iPSC-derived vascular-related and hematopoetic cells for therapies and toxicology/drug screenings

Abstract
Described herein are cells, cell culture methods, and cell culture media compositions useful for producing and maintaining iPSC-derived cell lines that are of higher purity and maintain cell type integrity better than current iPSC-derived cell lines. Also disclosed are methods of using the described cells and media, such as therapeutic methods of use for the described cells. The described cells include iPSC-derived mesodermal precursor cells (MPC), which itself may differentiate into at least four different cell types. When cultured under appropriate conditions, the mesodermal precursor cells can be used to produce hematopoietic stem cells (HSC), mesenchymal stem cells (MSC), smooth muscle cells (SMC), or unlimited functional endothelial cells (UFEC). One characteristic that makes the described cells desirable is that they can be maintained in culture for a number of days, or passages, without changing phenotype through differentiation.
Description
BACKGROUND

The use of human stem cells for clinical purposes has become a subject of increasing interest in recent years. This interest has only intensified in the wake of the more recent discoveries that human somatic cells can be induced to form pluripotent stem cells when certain transcription factors are overexpressed. Human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) can be generated in a variety of ways, such as reprogramming somatic cells by the expression of four transcription factors. The hiPSCs exhibit similar properties to human embryonic stem cells (hESCs), including the ability to self-renew and differentiate into all three embryonic germ layers: ectoderm, endoderm, or mesoderm. Additionally, hiPSCs overcome ethical concerns, relative to generating hESCs from human embryos, because no embryonic cells are needed to form hiPSCs. Human iPSCs can be induced into any cell type and, since they can be maintained over many passages, they can serve as an almost unlimited source to generate cells from any given person. These properties make iPSC-derived cells a valuable product for cell therapies and toxicology or pharmaceutical high throughput screens. However, therapeutic and commercial uses of iPSC-derived cell products are hampered by low quantities and cell culture impurity due to limitations with current methods for producing and maintaining these cells.


SUMMARY

Described herein are cells, cell culture methods, and cell culture media compositions useful for producing and maintaining iPSC-derived cell lines that are of higher purity and maintain cell type integrity better than current iPSC-derived cell lines. Also disclosed are methods of using the described cells and media.


One aspect of the present disclosure is an iPSC-derived mesodermal precursor cell (MPC) line, positive for CD34 and CD31 expression, that may be used to produce at least four different cell types. When cultured under appropriate conditions, these mesodermal precursor cells can be used to produce hematopoietic stem cells (HSC), mesenchymal stem cells (MSC), smooth muscle cells (SMC), or unlimited functional endothelial cells (UFEC). One characteristic that makes the mesodermal precursor cells described herein desirable is that these cells can be maintained in culture for a number of days, or passages, without changing phenotype through differentiation.


The HSCs described herein can be produced by culturing the described MPCs in medium and under conditions known to cause cells to differentiate into HSCs. The described HSCs may be characterized by the expression of CD34, CD31, and CD45. Another characteristic of the described HSCs is that they have the ability to reconstitute the hematopoietic system of an irradiated subject, such as a mouse. The described HSCs also have the ability to maintain their phenotype for extended periods without differentiating, when maintained under appropriate conditions.


The described MPCs are also capable of giving rise to UFECs when cultured under conditions known to allow for differentiation into cells of an endothelial lineage. The described UFECs can be characterized by the expression of CD31, vWF, and CD144. In addition, these cells can mediate the uptake of acetylated low density lipoproteins (LDL). Furthermore, the UFECs produced using the methods and cells described herein have the ability to form vascular-like structures in vitro, a hallmark of endothelial cell progenitors.


Another cell type capable of being produced by the MPCs described herein are MSCs. The MSCs described herein can be characterized by the expression of CD90, CD73, and CD105 in the absence of CD31 and CD45. These cells can also differentiate in vivo or in vitro into a number of different cell types, including adipocytes, osteoblasts, myocytes, or chondrocytes, when cultured under conditions known to cause progenitor cells to differentiate into the respective cell type. The described MSCs also have the ability to maintain their phenotype for extended periods without differentiating, when maintained under appropriate conditions.


The described MPCs may also be used to generate smooth muscle cells according to the methods described herein. For example, the described MPCs can differentiate into smooth muscle cells when cultured under conditions known to cause progenitor cells to differentiate into SMCs. The described SMCs are characterized by the expression of α-SMA, calponin, and SM22. The described SMCs also have the ability to maintain their phenotype for extended periods without differentiating, when maintained under appropriate conditions.


In some embodiments the cell types described herein may be generated using the cells of a subject to produce autologous cells using the cell production methods described herein. The differentiated autologous cells can then be administered to the subject for therapeutic purposes.


Described herein are various tissue culture media that may be used to produce the cells characterized in the present disclosure. In some embodiments the medium formulation includes a mixture of Iscove's modified Dulbecco's medium (IMDM), Ham's F-12 Nutrient Mix, with L-alanyl-L-glutamine additive, albumin, α-monothioglycerol, protein-free hybridoma mixture II, L-ascorbic acid 2-phosphate, L-alanyl-L-glutamine, antibiotic, cholesterol lipids, insulin-transferrin-selenium-ethanolamine supplement, bone morphogenic protein 4, vascular endothelial growth factor, and basic fibroblast growth factor. In some embodiments the medium formulation includes a mixture of Iscove's modified Dulbecco's medium (IMDM), Ham's F-12 Nutrient Mix, with L-alanyl-L-glutamine additive, albumin, α-monothioglycerol, protein-free hybridoma mixture II, L-ascorbic acid 2-phosphate, L-alanyl-L-glutamine, antibiotic, insulin-transferrin-selenium-ethanolamine supplement, bone morphogenic protein 4, vascular endothelial growth factor, and basic fibroblast growth factor. Where the described components are, or include, proteins, such as albumin, bone morphogenic protein 4, vascular endothelial growth factor, or basic fibroblast growth factor, the additive may have an amino acid sequence corresponding to the human form of the protein. The media described herein may further include additives such as stem cell factor, Flt-3 ligand, or thrombopoietin, any of which may be derived from, or correspond to, the human form of the protein. While any of the media additives described herein may be derived from, or correspond to, the human form, this is not necessarily required and additives that are derived from, or correspond to, those of other mammals may also be acceptable.


The cells, media, methods of producing the described cells, and related methods of use are more fully discussed herein.

Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSC)


Provided herein is a method for producing a mesenchymal stem cell from the mesodermal precursor cell described herein, wherein the method involves first producing a mesodermal precursor cell from an iPSC, as described by the related methods provided herein, and then incubating the mesodermal precursor cell under conditions known to promote differentiation of precursor cells into mesenchymal stem cells.

Example 1—Production of Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells

Multiple human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) were successfully generated from human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) and fibroblasts by mediated expression of four transcription factors (Oct4, Sox2, klf4, and c-MYC). Those cells were continually cultured and propagated in a feeder free environment under chemically defined conditions. The hiPSCs maintained normal karyotype, and exhibited similar properties to human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) including self-renewing and differentiation into all three embryonic germ layers (FIGS. 1A-1M).


Example 2—Production of Cells of a Mesodermal Lineage by Culturing hiPSCs in MDM

Studies were conducted to assess the impact of certain defined media on more than 10 hiPSC lines derived from both human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) and fibroblasts. The gene expression profile of differentiation cells was analyzed by FACS and biologic function assays. Over a 12-day period of culturing hiPSCs in MDM (as set forth in Table 2) the cells were observed to be prone to commitment to the mesoderm lineage (FIGS. 3A-3F) and efficiently generated mesoderm precursors (FIGS. 4A-4E). In 10 independent experiments, cultures of 1×105 hiPSCs generated large numbers of mesoderm precursors peaking at 30±7×106 (CD31+ cells: 51%±4.5, and CD34+ cells: 37.%±3.6%) on day 10, and declining thereafter. The results indicate this culture method produced an approximate 100-fold increase in human CD34/CD31 positive cells compared to previously published protocols (see e.g. Wang et al., Nat. Biotechnol., 25:317 (2007); Goldman et al., Stem Cells 27:1750 (2009); Lancrin et al., Nature, 457:892 (2009); Morishima, et al., J. Cell Physiol., 226:1283 (2011); Rufaihah, et al, Arterioscler. Thromb. Vasc. Biol., 31:e72 (2011); Tolar J et al., Blood, 117:839 (2011); Niwa, et al. PLoS ONE, 6:e22261 (2011); Xu Y, et al. PLoS ONE, 7:e34321 (2012); White, et al., Stem Cells, 31:92 (2013).


Example 3—Mesoderm Precursor Cells are Multipotent

In order to assess the differentiation potential of mesoderm precursors (CD31/CD34+ cells) produced from hiPSCs, the cells were incubated under culture conditions known to induce endothelial cell formation by precursor cells. Various culture conditions induced the MPCs to develop into: unlimited functional endothelium (iUFECs), mesenchymal stem cells (iMSC), smooth muscle cells (iSMCs), and hematopoietic stem cells (iHSCs).


The mesoderm precursors were cultured under conditions promoting endothelial cell propagation and maturation, standard culture conditions (37° C. incubation at 5% CO2) using EGM™ 2 medium (Lanza). The cells expanded rapidly with typical cobblestone-like morphology, and expressed endothelial markers (CD31, vWF, and VE-cadherin (CD144)) as characterized by immunohistochemistry (FIGS. 5A-5D). The induced endothelial cells (iECs) exhibited further functional features of endothelial cells, as confirmed through the formation of vascular-like structures on Matrigel™ and the uptake of acetylated-LDL (FIGS. 5E-5G). Notably, these cells were able to be propagated more than 20 passages while sustaining an endothelial phenotype, based on cobblestone-like morphology, expression of endothelial markers, and biologic functions.


Mesoderm precursor cells were also cultured under conditions suitable for maintaining MSCs in culture (standard culture conditions (37° C. incubator at 5% CO2) with MSC growth medium (15˜20% fetal-bovine serum and 1% penicillin-streptomycin in alpha minimal essential medium)), which revealed the mesoderm precursors can be induced to form MSC-like cells. The MSC phenotype of these cells was validated by observing the expression of CD90, CD73, and CD105, but not CD31 or CD45, as detected by FACS analysis (FIGS. 6A-6E). In addition to surface marker analysis, the most common and reliable way to identify a population of MSC is to verify their ability to differentiate into adipocytes, osteoblasts, myocytes, and chondrocytes in vivo and in vitro. To assess this function potential, the iMSCs derived from mesoderm precursors were cultured under conditions known to promote differentiation into osteoblasts (standard culture conditions (37° C. incubator at 5% CO2) with osteoblasts induction medium containing: 0.1 μM dexamethasone, 50 μM ascorbic acid-2-phosphate, 10 mM β-glycerol phosphate, 10% fetal-bovine serum, and 1% penicillin-streptomycin in alpha minimal essential medium) for 21 days, changing media every 4 to 5 days). The resulting cells were histochemically stained to determine their specific marker profile. After a one-week induction period, the cells featured very high phosphatase activity and a vast extracellular calcium deposit confirmed as Alizarin Red S staining followed by additional two weeks induction. These results indicate the iMSCs have the ability to differentiate into osteoblasts and mediate in vitro bone-formation (FIGS. 6F-6H).


The mesoderm precursors were cultured under conditions promoting SMC propagation and maturation (standard culture conditions (37° C. incubator at 5% CO2) with SMC growth medium (SmGM-2TM, Lonza)). This caused the mesodermal precursor cells to display SMC-like properties, such as a spindle-like morphology and the strong expression of smooth muscle-specific markers, including α-SMA, calponin, and SM22, as confirmed by FACS analysis and immunohistochemistry (FIG. 6C). These results indicate that mesoderm precursors derived from hiPSCs have great potential to produce SMCs.


To test the hematopoietic lineage differentiation potential, the hiPSCs were cultured in Matrigel™ coated plates in MDM for up to three weeks. Some of the attached mesoderm precursor cells began to float starting on day 3 in the culture, and the numbers gradually increased with time. The suspension cells exhibited morphology reminiscent of primitive human hematopoietic stem/progenitors (FIGS. 7A & 7B). The suspension cell population expressed hematopoietic stem/progenitors markers CD34, CD31, and CD45 as confirmed by FACS (FIG. 8A). In 10 independent experiments, cultures of 1×105 hiPSCs resulted in remarkably large numbers of suspension cells peaking at 17±5×106 on day 12, and rapidly declining thereafter, consistent with a precise timing of appearance of hematopoietic cells in the system. The addition of hematopoietic stem/progenitors growth factors (SCF, Flt-3 ligand, and thrombopoietin) (i.e., MDM+ medium) in the culture promoted significant generation of hematopoietic stem/progenitors (FIG. 8A). Thus, up to 4-6×106 human CD34+ cells were generated at day 12 from an initial culture of 1×105 hiPSCs, representing an about 500-1000 fold increase in human CD34+ cells as compared to previously published protocols based on EB formation or co-culture on stromal cells. Interestingly, the majority of CD34+ cells derived from this procedure hold a CD38 negative phenotype, consistent with an immature hematopoietic stem/progenitor cell population. To further validate their hematopoietic differentiation ability a clonogenic progenitor assay was performed. The suspension cells generated a large number of erythroid (burst-forming unit-erythroid (BFU-E)), myeloid (colony-forming unit-granulocytic, monocytic (CFU-GM)), and mixed (CFU-granulocytic, erythrocytic, monocytic, megakaryocytic (CFU-GEMM)) colonies (FIG. 8C).

Compared to MDM or MDM+, iPSC differentiation with MDM1 or MDM1+ increases significantly the total number of supernatant cells (FIG. 9). This increase in the total number of supernatant cells resulted in a 8.7-fold increase in CD45+ cells hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) at day 10 when MDM1 was employed during the differentiation process compared to MDM (FIG. 10).


Example 5—Modified Differentiation Protocol to Favor Hematopoietic Differentiation

Human iPSC-derived supernatant cells were differentiated with MDM1 and MDM1+ using the otherwise unmodified protocol described in Examples 1 to 3. At day 10 of differentiation, the differentiation protocol was modified to further support hematopoietic differentiation. The protocol is unchanged for differentiation of the other 3 cell types described in Examples 1 to 3, namely, mesenchymal stem cells (MSC), smooth muscle cells (SMC), and unlimited functional endothelial cells (UFEC).


For hematopoietic differentiation, supernatant cells obtained from day 10 of differentiation were cultured in the upper chamber of a Transwell™ insert (Corning Inc.) in commercially available hematopoietic culture medium containing: 90% RPMI 1640 Medium (Gibco, Cat #11875-119), 10% Fetal Bovine Serum (Atlanta Biologicals, Cat #S10250), recombinant human SCF (Stemcell Technologies Inc.) at 100 ng/ml, recombinant human Flt-3 ligand (Stemcell Technologies Inc.) at 100 ng/ml, and recombinant human thrombopoietin (Stemcell Technologies Inc.) at 100 ng/ml, and recombinant human granulocyte/macrophage colony-stimulating factorat at 100 ng/ml (PeproTech, Cat #AF-300-03). The lower chamber of the Transwell insert was occupied by human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) cultured in commercially available endothelial cell culture medium EGM™ BulletKit™ (Lonza, Cat #cc-3162). (FIG. 11).


Under these co-culture conditions (in an incubator at 37° C. under 5% CO2), the majority of the cells within the Transwell (85.47%±9.5) gradually matured into hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPC), displaying the hematopoietic lineage markers CD34 and CD45, as confirmed by flow cytometry. After 7 days of co-culture in a Transwell insert, these cells are further differentiated to the monocytic lineage using a medium containing: 90% RPMI 1640 Medium (Gibco, Cat #11875-119), 10% Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS, Atlanta Biologicals, Cat #S10250), recombinant human SCF (Stemcell Technologies Inc.) at 100 ng/ml, recombinant human Flt-3 ligand (Stemcell Technologies Inc.) at 100 ng/ml, and recombinant human thrombopoietin (Stemcell Technologies Inc.) at 100 ng/ml, recombinant human granulocyte/macrophage colony-stimulating factorat at 100 ng/ml (PeproTech, Cat #AF-300-03), and recombinant human macrophage colony-stimulating factor at 100 ng/ml (PeproTech, Cat #AF-300-25). Phenotypic expression of monocytic markers (CD14, CD11b, and CD115) is confirmed by flow cytometry. These monocytes can subsequently be directed to differentiate into functional macrophages by using attachment cell culture conditions followed by RPMI 1640 (Gibco) supplemented with 10% FBS, 2 mmol/L L-glutamine, penicillin/streptomycin, and recombinant human granulocyte/macrophage colony-stimulating factor at 20 ng/ml (PeproTech), as confirmed by the in vitro phagocytosis assay.
