    Abstract Human brain organoids differentiated from embryonic stem cells offer the unique opportunity to study complicated interactions of multiple cell types in a three-dimensional system. Here we present a relatively straightforward and inexpensive method that yields brain organoids. In this protocol human pluripotent stem cells are broken into small clusters instead of single cells and grown in basic media without a heterologous basement membrane matrix or exogenous growth factors, allowing the intrinsic developmental cues to shape the organoid's growth. This simple system produces a diversity of brain cell types including glial and microglial cells, stem cells, and neurons of the forebrain, midbrain, and hindbrain. Organoids generated from this protocol also display hallmarks of appropriate temporal and spatial organization demonstrated by brightfield images, histology, immunofluorescence and real-time quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). Because these organoids contain cell types from various parts of the brain, they can be utilized for studying a multitude of diseases. For example, in a recent paper we demonstrated the use of organoids generated from this protocol for studying the effects of hypoxia on the human brain. This approach can be used to investigate an array of otherwise difficult to study conditions such as neurodevelopmental handicaps, genetic disorders, and neurologic diseases.

    Abstract The ocular lens serves as an excellent system to investigate the intricate details of development and differentiation. Generation of lentoid bodies or lens-like structures using pluripotent stem cells is important for understanding the processes critical for lens morphogenesis and the mechanism of cataractogenesis. We previously reported the generation of peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC)-originated, induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). Here, we report generation of lentoid bodies from human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) and (PBMC)-originated, iPSCs employing the "fried egg" method with brief modifications. The ultrastructure analysis of hESC- and iPSC-derived lentoid bodies identified closely packed lens epithelial- and differentiating fiber-like cells. In addition, we performed RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) based transcriptome profiling of hESC- and iPSC-derived lentoid bodies at differentiation day 25. Next-generation RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) of hESC- and iPSC-derived lentoid bodies detected expression (≥0.659 RPKM) of 13,975 and 14,003 genes, respectively. Comparative transcriptome analysis of hESC- and iPSC-derived lentoid bodies revealed 13,563 (>96%) genes common in both datasets. Among the genes common in both transcriptome datasets, 12,856 (~95%) exhibited a quantitatively similar expression profile. Next, we compared the mouse lens epithelial and fiber cell transcriptomes with hESC- and iPSC-derived lentoid bodies transcriptomes and identified > 96% overlap with lentoid body transcriptomes. In conclusion, we report first-time comparative transcriptome analysis of hESC- and iPSC-derived lentoid bodies at differentiation day 25.

    Abstract Pregnant rats treated with dimethadione (DMO), the N-demethylated metabolite of the anticonvulsant trimethadione, produce offspring having a 74% incidence of congenital heart defects (CHD); however, the incidence of CHD has high inter-litter variability (40-100%) that presents a challenge when studying the initiating events prior to the presentation of an abnormal phenotype. We hypothesized that the variability in CHD incidence was the result of differences in maternal systemic concentrations or embryonic tissue concentrations of DMO. To test this hypothesis, dams were administered 300 mg/kg DMO every 12h from the evening of gestational day (GD) 8 until the morning of GD 11 (six total doses). Maternal serum levels of DMO were assessed on GD 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 18 and 21. Embryonic tissue concentrations of DMO were assessed on GD 11, 12, 13 and 14. In a separate cohort of GD 12 embryos, DMO concentrations and parameters of growth and development were assessed to determine if tissue levels of DMO were correlated with these endpoints. Embryos were exposed directly to different concentrations of DMO with whole embryo culture (WEC) and their growth and development assessed. Key findings were that neither maternal systemic concentrations nor tissue concentrations of DMO identified embryos that were sensitive or resistant to DMO in vivo. Direct exposure of embryos to DMO via WEC also failed to show correlations between embryonic concentrations of DMO with developmental outcomes in vitro. We conclude that neither maternal serum nor embryonic tissue concentrations of DMO predict embryonic outcome.

    Abstract Purpose: Corneal endothelial cells (CECs) are critical in maintaining clarity of the cornea. This study was initiated to develop peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC)-originated, induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived CECs.
    Methods: We isolated PBMCs and programmed the mononuclear cells to generate iPSCs, which were differentiated to CECs through the neural crest cells (NCCs). The morphology of differentiating iPSCs was examined at regular intervals by phase contrast microscopy. In parallel, the expression of pluripotent and corneal endothelium (CE)-associated markers was investigated by quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR). The molecular architecture of the iPSC-derived CECs and human corneal endothelium (hCE) was examined by mass spectrometry-based proteome sequencing.
    Results: The PBMC-originated, iPSC-derived CECs were tightly adherent, exhibiting a hexagonal-like shape, one of the cardinal characteristics of CECs. The CE-associated markers expressed at significantly higher levels in iPSC-derived CECs at days 13, 20, and 30 compared with their respective levels in iPSCs. It is of importance that only residual expression levels of pluripotency markers were detected in iPSC-derived CECs. Cryopreservation of iPSC-derived CECs did not affect the tight adherence of CECs and their hexagonal-like shape while expressing high levels of CE-associated markers. Mass spectrometry-based proteome sequencing identified 10,575 proteins in the iPSC-derived CEC proteome. In parallel, we completed proteome profiling of the hCE identifying 6345 proteins. Of these, 5763 proteins were identified in the iPSC-derived CECs, suggesting that 90.82% of the hCE proteome overlaps with the iPSC-derived CEC proteome.
    Conclusions: We have successfully developed a personalized approach to generate CECs that closely mimic the molecular architecture of the hCE. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report describing the development of PBMC-originated, iPSC-derived CECs.

    Abstract Background: We previously showed dimethadione (DMO), the N-demethylated metabolite of the anticonvulsant trimethadione, induces ventricular septation defects (VSD) and other heart anomalies in rat (Weston et al., 2011). Because of the relationship between cardiac structure and function, we hypothesized that DMO-induced structural defects of the heart are associated with in utero functional deficits. To test the hypothesis, the goals were (1) define the parameters for ultrasound in the rat conceptus, and; (2) use ultrasound to identify structural and functional deficits following DMO treatment.
    Methods: Different ultrasound modes (B-mode, M-mode, and Pulse-wave Doppler) using four high-resolution ultrasound transducer heads of varying frequency (25-40 MHz) were tested on gestational day (GD) 14, 15, 16, 17, and 21. Having identified the optimal conditions, pregnant Sprague-Dawley rats were administered six 300 mg/kg doses of DMO every 12 hr beginning at 19:00 hr on GD 8 to generate conceptuses with a high incidence of VSD.
    Results: The three ultrasound modalities were used to identify VSD and several novel and rare structural heart anomalies (cardiac effusions and bifurcated septum) in live rat fetuses. DMO-treated hearts had an array of functional deficits including a decrease in mean heart rate, ejection fraction, and cardiac output and increased incidence of bradycardia and dysrhythmia.
    Conclusions: The ultrasound biomicroscope is an effective tool for the real-time characterization of the structure and function of embryo/fetal rat hearts. DMO causes significant deficits to in utero heart function for up to ten days (GD 21) following its final administration, suggesting long-term or possible permanent changes cardiac function.

    Abstract Background: The European Centre for the Validation of Alternative Methods (ECVAM) designed the Embryonic Stem Cell Test (EST) as a tool for classifying developmentally toxic compounds. An in vitro tool to assess developmental toxicity would be of great value to the pharmaceutical industry to help with toxicity-associated attrition.
    Methods: ECVAM's EST protocol was used, but employing a different mouse embryonic stem cell (ESC) line and an alternative differentiation medium. A subset of the compounds used to validate the EST assay along with a number of in-house pharmaceutical compounds plus marketed pharmaceutical compounds were used to assess the EST performance with receptor-mediated compounds.
    Results: Our results with ECVAM compounds mirrored ECVAM's. Compounds that were developmentally toxic in vivo were classified by the EST as moderate risk. Overall, the accuracy was 75% with the current set of data and the predictivity of low-, moderate-, and high-risk compounds was 90, 71, and 60% while the precision was 59, 86, and 100%, respectively. Interestingly, a number of the non-developmentally toxic compounds had values for the 3T3 IC(50) values, which were lower than the ESC IC(50) and ID(50), a situation not taken into account by ECVAM when designing the EST algorithm.
    Conclusions: The assay as currently constructed has a significant false-positive rate (approximately 40%), but a very low false-negative rate (approximately 7%). Additional moderate- and high-risk compounds need to be assessed to increase confidence, accuracy, and understanding in the EST's predictivity.
