Abstract

Myelin defects cause a collection of myelin disorders in the brain. The lack of human models has limited us from better understanding pathological mechanisms of myelin diseases. While human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC)-derived spheroids or organoids have been used to study brain development and disorders, it has been difficult to recapitulate mature myelination in these structures. Here, we have developed a method to generate three-dimensional (3D) myelin spheroids from hiPSCs in a robust and reproducible manner. Using this method, we generated myelin spheroids from patient iPSCs to model Canavan disease (CD), a demyelinating disorder. By using CD patient iPSC-derived myelin spheroids treated with N-acetyl-aspartate (NAA), we were able to recapitulate key pathological features of the disease and show that high-level NAA is sufficient to induce toxicity on myelin sheaths. Our study has established a 3D human cellular platform to model human myelin diseases for mechanistic studies and drug discovery.

摘要

髓鞘缺陷会引发一系列脑部髓鞘疾病。缺乏人类模型限制了我们对髓鞘疾病病理机制的深入理解。虽然人类诱导多能干细胞(hiPSC)来源的球体或类器官已被用于研究大脑发育和疾病,但在这些结构中很难重现成熟的髓鞘形成过程。在此,我们开发了一种方法,能够以稳健且可重复的方式从hiPSC生成三维(3D)髓鞘球体。利用该方法,我们从患者诱导多能干细胞中生成了髓鞘球体,用于模拟一种脱髓鞘疾病——卡纳万病(CD)。通过使用经N - 乙酰天门冬氨酸(NAA)处理的CD患者诱导多能干细胞来源的髓鞘球体,我们能够重现该疾病的关键病理特征,并表明高水平的NAA足以对髓鞘鞘膜产生毒性。我们的研究建立了一个3D人类细胞平台,用于模拟人类髓鞘疾病,以进行机制研究和药物发现。
