Abstract The successful differentiation of brain pericyte-like cells from human pluripotent stem cells may allow us to study their biological characteristics and their applications in the treatment of pericyte dysfunction-related neurodegenerative diseases, including ischemic stroke, Parkinson’s disease (PD) and so on.The protocol we present in the study provides a cranial neural crest originated, fast and robust forebrain pericyte-like cells differentiation method using either human embryonic stem cells or human induced pluripotent stem cells as a starting material.

SummaryThe brainstem controls heartbeat, blood pressure and respiration, which are life-sustaining functions, therefore, disorders of the brainstem can be lethal. Brain organoids derived from human pluripotent stem cells recapitulate the course of human brain development and are expected to be useful for medical research on central nervous system disorders. However, existing organoid models have limitations, hampering the elucidation of diseases affecting specific components of the brain. Here, we developed a method to generate human brainstem organoids (hBSOs), containing neural crest stem cells as well as midbrain/hindbrain progenitors, noradrenergic and cholinergic neurons, and dopaminergic neurons, demonstrated by specific electrophysiological signatures. Single-cell RNA sequence analysis, together with proteomics and electrophysiology, revealed that the cellular population in these organoids was similar to that of the human brainstem and neural crest, which raises the possibility of making use of hBSOs in grafting for transplantation, efficient drug screenings and modeling the neural crest diseases.
