Description

Method for reprogramming umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells into liver cells and prepared liver organoid
Technical Field
The application relates to a cell culture technology, in particular to a method for reprogramming umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells into liver cells and a prepared liver organoid.
Background
Liver tumors usually require major resection of the liver, the remaining liver will be regenerative-compensated, and post-surgery can easily lead to post-hepatectomy liver failure (PHLF), one of the most alarming complications, which must be treated by transplantation and life-long immunosuppression. The shortage of donor livers, high cost and immunosuppression limit the use of this treatment modality. Treatment of liver failure can also be improved by temporary liver support methods. Such as bioartificial liver, continuous hemodiafiltration by plasmapheresis and albumin dialysis can improve certain liver function parameters, but it has not been proven that it can improve patient survival. Moreover, this technique is limited by the lack of a safe source of hepatocytes. Potential alternative sources of hepatocytes include porcine hepatocytes, immortalized human hepatocytes, ES cell-derived hepatocytes and various adult stem cells, but still do not address the lack of primary hepatocytes in current artificial liver therapy procedures. Further, it has been shown that transplantation of Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs) or MSCs-derived hepatocyte-like cells improves liver function in rodents or patients suffering from liver injury. However, several conventional methods used so far have been of little effect, and these hepatocyte-like cells only show a part of the functions of markers and primary hepatocytes.

Detailed Description
The present application is described in further detail below with reference to the attached drawings and the detailed description.
Example one
Method for reprogramming umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells into liver cells
The umbilical cord is from human, but is generally treated as medical waste, has wide sources, does not relate to ethical problems, and is an excellent tissue source for obtaining mesenchymal stem cells in large quantities in clinic and research. Umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (UC-MSCs) have strong proliferation activity and are used for the treatment and treatment research of various diseases.
In the application, the UC-MSCs are cultured under the serum-free condition to 6 minutes, namely the UC-MSCs are cultured in vitro until the UC-MSCs enter the logarithmic growth phase, as shown in figure 1, when the UC-MSCs are cultured in vitro until the third generation, the UC-MSCs are uniform in shape and grow in a long fusiform spiral fossa shape, and the UC-MSCs are subjected to cell surface marking identification and differentiation capacity identification subsequently, so that the extracted UC-MSCs are proved to meet the requirements of the subsequent reprogramming step.
Subsequently, the induced differentiation treatment is started, and the UC-MSCs are induced to be reprogrammed by adding the following reagents into a serum-free culture medium in sequence:
a pretreatment stage: epidermal Growth Factor (EGF)20ng/mL (Gibco; PHG0315), basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF)10ng/mL (PeproTech; 100-31-25), pretreatment 2 d;
liver-forming inducing composition: 30ng/mL of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), 20ng/mL of Hepatocyte Growth Factor (HGF) (PeproTech; 100-39-10), 0.61g/L of nicotinamide (nicotinamide) (Sigma; N0636), 7d of induction;
first maturation inducing composition: ITS + Premix40 ng/mL (Gibco; 51500056), recombinant human osteoprotegerin-M (OSM)10ng/mL (PeproTech; 300-10-2), Dexamethasone (Dexamethane) 1umol/L (Invitrogen; D1383), Induction 7D;
second maturation inducing composition: ITS + Premix40 ng/mL, recombinant human osteoprotegerin-M (OSM)10ng/mL, Dexamethasone (Dexamethane) 1umol/L, human-derived gamma secretase complex inhibitor (gamma-secretase inhibitor or DAPT for short) 10umol/L (MCE; HY-13027), small molecule inhibitor SB 43154210 umol/L (abcam; ab146590), and induction for 12-20 days.
The identification of reprogrammed cells during induction of UC-MSCs resulted in the following:
1. cell morphology was observed under an inverted microscope: the cells grow well in the induction reprogramming process, and after the pretreatment (day1-day2) and the liver formation induction stage (day3-day9), the MSCs become more slender, the liver cell maturation stage (day10-day16), the UC-MSCs are differentiated into liver cells, the cell morphology gradually becomes flat and round from long spindle, the liver cells obtained by reprogramming in the liver cell secondary maturation stage (day17-day32) further mature into functional liver cells, at the moment, the cells turn into irregular round or polygonal shapes, the nucleolus is obvious, and apoptosis is not seen (as shown in figure 2).
2. Immunofluorescence was used to identify whether liver-specific genes were expressed: albumin (ALB, using the abcam kit: 207327), alpha-fetoprotein (AFP, abcam kit: ab169552) and cytokeratin (CK19, abcam kit: ab52625) were identified as AFP (+) (see first column of FIG. 3), ALB (+) (see first column of FIG. 3), CK19(+) (see second column of FIG. 3). Further, statistical analysis was performed on the fluorescence values, and the AFP, ALB, and CK19 expression rates were significantly increased when the induction phase was compared between day32 and day16 (fig. 4), indicating that the reprogrammed liver cells were further mature and more closely related to liver cells with liver function.
3. Glycogen accumulation function assay (using Solarbio kit: G285): as shown in FIG. 5, staining of glycogen was observed in the hepatocytes, and the result of functional identification of glycogen accumulation was positive.
In conclusion, functional liver cells reprogrammed and differentiated by UC-MSCs are successfully obtained through the processes of pretreatment, liver formation induction and twice maturation induction.
Example two
Liver organoid and its preparing process
Organoids belong to three-dimensional cell cultures, which contain some key properties that represent the organ. Organoids are also an in vitro culture system comprising a self-renewing stem cell population that can differentiate into a plurality of organ-specific cell types, having similar spatial organization as the corresponding organ and being capable of reproducing a part of the function of the corresponding organ, thereby providing a highly physiologically relevant system. Organoid cultures have been used in a variety of tissues including the gut, liver, pancreas, kidney, prostate, lung, optic cup, and brain. Organoids are also tools that find application in developmental biology, disease pathology, cell biology, regenerative mechanisms, precision medicine, and drug toxicity and efficacy testing, among others. For these and other applications, organoid culture enables a high information content complementation of existing two-dimensional culture methods and animal model systems.
In addition to their use in clinical liver failure transplantation, liver organoids can be used as a first aid bridge for the transition from liver failure to liver regeneration, or to supplement extensive hepatectomy and temporary maintenance of liver function during the waiting period for transplantation.
The liver organoid is prepared by the method for reprogramming umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells into liver cells and the obtained functional liver cells, and specifically, the liver organoid construction method comprises the following steps:
(1) 3ml of umbilical cord acellular matrix pre-gel is taken on ice and is trimmed with 300ul of 10 XPBS to form hydrogel;
(2) adjusting the pH value to 7-7.5 by NaOH for later use;
(3) adding 1X 10 to 12ml of serum-free medium7UC-MSCs, 1X 106Fully blowing, beating and uniformly mixing liver cells and 3ml of balanced hydrogel;
(4) adding 2.5ml of the above mixed liquid into each well of 6-well plate, standing in incubator for 2-4 hr, and adding 2ml of serum-free culture medium after gelling. Observing the growth condition of the cells in the hydrogel under a microscope, and carrying out validity identification on the cultured cells in the hydrogel: the 1d, 3d and 7d were cultured and stained to identify the survival of the cells.
(5) The formed "3D-hOs" (liver organoids, see FIG. 7) was obtained in 6-7 days.
The umbilical cord acellular matrix hydrogel is prepared from umbilical cord tissues, so that the low immunogenicity relative to a human body is maintained, the integrity of an internal structure of an ECM (extracellular matrix) is maintained to the maximum extent, and the proliferation and survival of stem cells and liver cells in the hydrogel are facilitated, even after the umbilical cord acellular matrix hydrogel is transplanted into a human body. As shown in FIG. 6, the cells in the hydrogel were cultured at 1d, 3d and 7d, and the density of the living cells was higher, which proves that the cells grew well in the gaps of the hydrogel.
The UC-MSCs can also be replaced by other types of stem cells, and from the development potential, totipotent stem cells, pluripotent stem cells and unipotent stem cells can have the potential of forming liver organoids.
The liver cell can be obtained by inducing umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells to differentiate by the method, or the liver cell is derived from a primary cultured liver cell or a subcultured liver cell line.
The whole preparation process of the liver organoid uses a serum-free and xeno-free culture medium, the preparation method accords with GMP standard, all cells and tissues are obtained by human, and the preparation method is easy to obtain in large quantity and does not relate to medical ethics. Due to the immunoregulation property of the MSCs, the umbilical cord decellularized ECM hydrogel has ultralow immunogenicity, the constructed 3D-hOs cannot cause immune reaction when transplanted among different individuals, even can be transplanted across species, has low cost and wide sources, can be produced in large scale and batch, is easy to reproduce after system maturation, has stable effect, and lays a foundation for future clinical tests. Further, the liver organoid was transplanted into the rat, and the rat was dissected 10 days after the transplantation, and it was seen that the graft migrated to the liver surface and the blood vessels were covered above the 3D-hOs (fig. 8), indicating that the human 3D-hOs could be maintained and grown in the rat without causing immune rejection.
In summary, the method for reprogramming the umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells into the liver cells increases the step of secondary maturation induction, prolongs the culture time, remarkably improves the induction efficiency, and particularly obviously increases the albumin expression of the obtained functional liver cells. The liver organoid uses cells derived from umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells and acellular matrix hydrogel, so that the obtained liver organoid has ultralow immunogenicity and has the possibility of cross-species transplantation.
The above embodiments are only preferred embodiments of the present application, but not limited to the above embodiments, and any other changes, modifications, substitutions, combinations, and simplifications which do not depart from the spirit and principle of the present application should be construed as equivalents and are included in the scope of the present application.
