Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to a method for differentiating induced pluripotent stem cells into macrophages, belonging to the technical field of cell differentiation. Background Art
[0002] Macrophages (M) are a type of white blood cells located in peripheral blood and inflammatory tissues. They are mainly found in organs such as lymph nodes, alveolar walls, bone marrow, liver and spleen, and are key components of the innate immune system. Their main function is to phagocytose cell debris and pathogens in the form of fixed cells or free cells, and activate lymphocytes or other immune cells to respond to pathogens. In addition to initiating immune and inflammatory responses to pathogens, macrophages also maintain tissue homeostasis and repair and remodeling of tissues.
[0003] There are two main sources of human macrophages: tumor-derived cell lines such as U937 and THP-1 cells, or primary cells such as peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) and human-monocyte derived macrophages (HMDM). Although the former has the ability to proliferate indefinitely, it has abnormal karyotype and immature phenotype, and cannot be used to study specific genotypes. The latter is a widely used macrophage function experimental model. Although it is relatively easy to obtain, HMDM is terminally differentiated, cannot self-renew, lacks proliferation ability, and is difficult to edit its genes.
[0004] Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) have the ability to proliferate indefinitely and can differentiate into almost all functional cells in vitro. Differentiating induced pluripotent stem cells into macrophages is a feasible solution. Summary of the invention
[0005] In view of the above-mentioned prior art, the present invention provides a method for differentiating induced pluripotent stem cells into macrophages. The present invention uses IPSC to induce the generation of macrophages, which can solve the problem of obtaining macrophages, and can use the previously constructed genotype-specific iPSC to derive macrophages with normal karyotype and stable genotype. The method of the present invention provides a good tool for studying the specific functions of macrophages, immune response mechanisms, and the treatment of macrophage-related diseases or tumors.

[0009] S2: embryoid bodies differentiated into monocytes expressing CD14;
[0010] S3: Monocytes differentiate into macrophages with CD14 / CD11b expression;

[0021] S2-4: remove the third differentiation medium, add the fourth differentiation medium, and induce culture for 7 to 14 days;
[0022] The fourth differentiation medium is a medium of X-VIV0 15 supplemented with VEGF, SCF, FGF2, IL-3, and M-CSF, wherein the concentration of VEGF is 20 ng / mL, the concentration of SCF is 20 ng / mL, the concentration of FGF2 is 10 ng / mL, the concentration of IL-3 is 25 ng / mL, and the concentration of M-CSF is 50 ng / mL.

[0075] The specific operations are as follows:
[0076] S2-1: Observe EB formation under a microscope; tilt the cell plate, wait for the EB to sink to the bottom, aspirate the supernatant, add the first differentiation medium, and place the cell plate in a 37°C, 5% CO2 incubator for 1 day (differentiation culture day 0-1).
[0077] The first differentiation medium is an APEL medium supplemented with BMP4, VEGF, SCF, FGF2, Activin A, and CHIR99021, wherein the concentration of BMP4 is 20 ng / mL, the concentration of VEGF is 40 ng / mL, the concentration of SCF is 40 ng / mL, the concentration of FGF2 is 5 ng / mL, the concentration of activin A is 5 ng / mL, and the concentration of CHIR99021 is 0.2 μM.
[0078] S2-2: Take out the culture plate containing EBs from the incubator, tilt the cell plate, wait for the EBs to sink to the bottom, aspirate the first differentiation medium, add freshly prepared second differentiation medium, and place the cell plate in a 37°C, 5% CO2 incubator for 1 day (Day 1 to Day 2 of differentiation culture).
[0079] The second differentiation medium is APEL medium supplemented with BMP4, VEGF, SCF, FGF2, and CHIR99021, wherein the concentration of BMP4 is 20 ng / mL, the concentration of VEGF is 40 ng / mL, the concentration of SCF is 40 ng / mL, the concentration of FGF2 is 5 ng / mL, and the concentration of CHIR99021 is 0.2 μM.
[0080] S2-3: Take out the culture plate containing EBs from the incubator, tilt the cell plate, wait for the EBs to sink to the bottom, aspirate the second differentiation medium, add freshly prepared third differentiation medium, and place the cell plate in a 37°C, 5% CO2 incubator for 6 days (2nd to 8th day of differentiation culture).
[0081] The third differentiation medium is an APEL medium supplemented with BMP4, VEGF, SCF, and FGF2, wherein the concentration of BMP4 is 20 ng / mL, the concentration of VEGF is 40 ng / mL, the concentration of SCF is 40 ng / mL, and the concentration of FGF2 is 5 ng / mL.
[0082] S2-4: Collect EBs on the 8th day of induction into a 15 mL centrifuge tube, let it stand for 10 min until the EBs sink to the bottom, aspirate the third differentiation medium, add freshly prepared fourth differentiation medium, and place the cell plate in a 37°C, 5% CO2 incubator for 8 days (differentiation culture day 8 to day 16).
[0083] The fourth differentiation medium is a medium of X-VIV0 15 supplemented with VEGF, SCF, FGF2, IL-3, and M-CSF, wherein the concentration of VEGF is 20 ng / mL, the concentration of SCF is 20 ng / mL, the concentration of FGF2 is 10 ng / mL, the concentration of IL-3 is 25 ng / mL, and the concentration of M-CSF is 50 ng / mL.
[0084] The morphology of the monocytes formed on the 16th day of differentiation culture is as follows Figure 2 As shown, many large and plump suspended cells were produced in the cell wells.
[0085] S2-5: Flow cytometry analysis of monocyte marker expression
[0086] On the 16th day of differentiation culture, the suspended cells were collected and centrifuged at 300 g for 5 min, and the supernatant was discarded; the cells were resuspended in DPBS containing 2% BSA, and CD14 antibody was added to perform flow cytometric analysis to detect the expression of CD14.
[0087] The flow cytometry results of monocytes were as follows Figure 3 As shown, the CD14 positivity rate was 70.81%.
[0088] S3: Differentiation of monocytes into macrophages (differentiation culture day 16 to day 23)
[0089] The specific operations are as follows:
[0090] S3-1: Collect the suspended cells expressing CD14, remove the fourth differentiation medium, resuspend the cells in freshly prepared macrophage differentiation medium, and culture the cell plate in a 37°C, 5% CO2 incubator for 7 days (16th to 23rd day of differentiation culture).
[0091] The macrophage differentiation medium is X-VIVO 15 medium added with GlutaMax and M-CSF, wherein the concentration of GlutaMax is 2 mM and the concentration of M-CSF is 100 ng / mL.
[0092] The cell morphology on the 23rd day of differentiation culture was as follows Figure 4 As shown, it can be seen that the cells are round or oval and have short processes.
[0093] S3-2: Flow cytometry detection of macrophage marker expression
[0094] The cells in the culture plate were collected and centrifuged at 300 g for 5 min, and the supernatant was discarded; the cells were resuspended in DPBS containing 2% BSA, and flow cytometry antibodies (CD14, CD11b) were added to detect the expression of CD14 and CD11b by flow cytometry.
[0095] Flow cytometry results of macrophages Figure 5 As shown, it can be seen that the expression rate of CD14 is 99.15%, and the expression rate of CD11b is 98.71%, indicating that macrophages with higher purity are obtained.
[0096] S4: Macrophage polarization experiments
[0097] S4-1: Take the macrophages on the 23rd day of differentiation (obtained in step S3-1), and culture the cells in M1 macrophage polarization medium and M2 macrophage polarization medium respectively for 48 hours.
[0098] The M1 macrophage culture medium is an X-VIV0 15 culture medium supplemented with GlutaMax, LPS and IFN-γ, wherein the concentration of GlutaMax is 2 mM, the concentration of LPS is 100 ng / mL, and the concentration of IFN-γ is 20 ng / mL.
[0099] The M2 macrophage culture medium is an X-VIV0 15 culture medium supplemented with GlutaMax and IL-4, wherein the concentration of GlutaMax is 2 mM and the concentration of IL-4 is 50 ng / mL.
[0100] The morphological changes of macrophages after 48 hours of polarization are as follows: Figure 6 As shown, compared with M0 macrophages (before polarization), M1 macrophages are large and flat, shaped like fried eggs, while M2 macrophages become more slender, which is consistent with the morphological characteristics of M1 and M2 macrophages.
[0101] S4-2: Flow cytometry detection of the expression of M1 and M2 macrophage markers
[0102] Polarized macrophages (obtained in step S4-1) were collected, centrifuged at 300 g for 5 min, and the supernatant was discarded; the cells were resuspended in DPBS containing 2% BSA, and flow cytometry antibodies (CD80, CD86, CD163, CD206) were added for flow cytometric analysis.
[0103] The flow cytometry results of M1 and M2 macrophages are shown in Figure 7 As shown in the figure, CD80 and CD86 of M0 macrophages are expressed at low levels. After polarization to M1 macrophages, the expression of CD80 and CD86 is significantly upregulated (CD80 expression>90%, CD86 expression>99%); CD163 and CD206 of M0 macrophages are expressed at high levels. According to the literature, when macrophages are in the basal state (M0), they tend to be M2 macrophage phenotypes. After polarization to M2 macrophages, the expression of CD163 and CD206 is upregulated. This shows that macrophages generated by iPSCs have good polarization ability.
[0104] S5: Macrophage phagocytosis assay
[0105] iPSC-derived macrophages were collected and the cells were counted and the number of cells was calculated as 1×10 5The cells were plated into 12-well plates; Alexa488-labeled yeast polysan particles were added to the macrophages at a final concentration of 0.25 mg / mL; the cell culture plate was placed in a 37°C, 5% CO2 incubator for 1 hour; after 1 hour, the cells were collected into a 1.5 mL centrifuge tube, centrifuged at 300 g for 5 min, and the supernatant was discarded; 1 mL of DPBS was added to wash the cells once, and 200 μg / mL of trypan blue was added to wash the cells once. After washing the cells 4 times with DPBS, the expression rate of Alexa488-positive cells was detected by flow cytometry.
[0106] The results of the phagocytosis experiment were as follows Figure 8 As shown in the figure, with iPSC as the negative control, when zymosan A was co-incubated with iPSC, the Alexa488 positive rate was only 7.66%, indicating that iPSC itself had no phagocytic function. After zymosan A was co-incubated with iPSC-derived macrophages, the Alexa488 positive rate was greater than 99%, indicating that the differentiated macrophages had normal phagocytic function.
[0107] S6: Cytokine release assay
[0108] The cell supernatant after polarization of macrophages (obtained in step S4-1) was taken and centrifuged at 2000 rpm for 5 min. The supernatant was transferred to a 1.5 mL centrifuge tube for later use. The IL-6 and TNF-α detection experiments were performed according to the steps described in the ELISA kit instructions.
[0109] The results of cytokine release experiments were as follows Fig. 9 As shown, it can be seen that compared with M0 and M2 macrophages, M1 macrophages secrete higher levels of TNF-α and IL-6, indicating that iPSC-derived macrophages have the ability to release cytokines.
[0110] In summary, the method of differentiating induced pluripotent stem cells into macrophages of the present invention is based on the embryoid body differentiation system and adds a culture medium with clear components and a cytokine combination, so that iPSCs can be differentiated into macrophages quickly and efficiently. The obtained cells not only contain macrophage characteristic proteins such as CD11b, but also have good polarization ability and significant phagocytic activity.
