Quantitative analysis of human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) lines from healthy donors is a powerful tool for uncovering the relationship between genetic variants and cellular behavior. We previously identified rare, deleterious non-synonymous single nucleotide variants (nsSNVs) in cell adhesion genes that are associated with outlier iPSC phenotypes in the pluripotent state. Here, we generated micropatterned colonies of iPSCs to test whether nsSNVs influence patterning of radially ordered germ layers. Using a custom-built image analysis pipeline, we quantified the differentiation phenotypes of 13 iPSC lines that harbor nsSNVs in genes related to cell adhesion or germ layer development. All iPSC lines differentiated into the three germ layers; however, there was donor-specific variation in germ layer patterning. We identified one line that presented an outlier phenotype of expanded endodermal differentiation, which was associated with a nsSNV in ITGB1. Our study establishes a platform for investigating the impact of nsSNVs on differentiation.
对来自健康供体的人诱导多能干细胞(iPSC)系进行定量分析是揭示遗传变异与细胞行为之间关系的有力工具。我们之前在细胞黏附基因中发现了与多能状态下的 iPSC 表型异常相关的罕见、有害的非同义单核苷酸变异(nsSNV)。在这里,我们生成了 iPSC 的微图案集落,以测试 nsSNV 是否会影响辐射状有序胚层的模式形成。使用定制的图像分析管道,我们量化了 13 个携带有与细胞黏附或胚层发育相关基因中的 nsSNV 的 iPSC 系的分化表型。所有 iPSC 系均分化为三个胚层;然而,胚层模式形成存在供体特异性变异。我们鉴定出一条表现出扩展内胚层分化的异常表型的线,这与 ITGB1 中的 nsSNV 相关。我们的研究建立了一个研究 nsSNV 对分化影响的平台。
