Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells (iPSCs) can be differentiated into epithelial organoids that recapitulate the relevant context for CFTR and enable testing of therapies targeting Cystic Fibrosis (CF)-causing mutant proteins. However, to date, CF-iPSC-derived organoids have only been used to study pharmacological modulation of mutant CFTR channel activity and not the activity of other disease-relevant membrane protein constituents. In the current work, we describe a high-throughput, fluorescence-based assay of CFTR channel activity in iPSC-derived intestinal organoids and describe how this method can be adapted to study other apical membrane proteins. Specifically, we show how this assay can be employed to study CFTR and ENaC channels and an electrogenic acid transporter in the same iPSC-derived intestinal tissue. This phenotypic platform promises to expand CF therapy discovery to include strategies that target multiple determinants of epithelial fluid transport.

AbstractPrimary culture of human prostate organoids is slow, inefficient and laborious. To overcome this, we demonstrate a new high-throughput model where rapidly proliferating and easily handled induced pluripotent stem cells, for the first time, enable generation of human prostate tissue in vivo and in vitro. Using a co-culture technique with urogenital sinus mesenchyme, we recapitulated the in situ prostate histology, including the stromal compartment and the full spectrum of epithelial differentiation. This approach overcomes major limitations in primary cultures of human prostate stem, luminal and neuroendocrine cells, as well as the stromal microenvironment. These models provide new opportunities to study prostate development, homeostasis and disease.

The intestinal mucosa forms the first line of defense against infections mediated by enteric pathogens such as salmonellae. Here we exploited intestinal “organoids” (iHOs) generated from human induced pluripotent stem cells (hIPSCs) to explore the interaction ofSalmonella entericaserovar Typhimurium with iHOs. Imaging and RNA sequencing were used to analyze these interactions, and clear changes in transcriptional signatures were detected, including altered patterns of cytokine expression after the exposure of iHOs to bacteria.S. Typhimurium microinjected into the lumen of iHOs was able to invade the epithelial barrier, with many bacteria residing withinSalmonella-containing vacuoles. AnS. TyphimuriuminvAmutant defective in theSalmonellapathogenicity island 1 invasion apparatus was less capable of invading the iHO epithelium. Hence, we provide evidence that hIPSC-derived organoids are a promising model of the intestinal epithelium for assessing interactions with enteric pathogens.

Single-cell phenotyping promises to yield insights into biological responses in heterogeneous cell populations. We developed a method based on single-cell analysis to phenotype human induced pluripotent stem cells (hIPSC) by high-throughput imaging. Our method uses markers for morphology and pluripotency as well as social features to characterize perturbations using a meta-phenotype based on mapping single cells to distinct phenotypic classes. Analysis of perturbations on a single cell level enhances the applicability of human induced pluripotent stem cells (hIPSC) for screening experiments taking the inherently increased phenotypic variability of these cells into account. We adapted miniaturized culture conditions to allow for the utilization of hIPSC in RNA interference (RNAi) high-throughput screens and single cell phenotyping by image analysis. We identified key regulators of pluripotency in hIPSC masked in a population-averaged analysis and we confirmed several candidate genes (SMG1, TAF1) and assessed their effect on pluripotency.
