Western Pacific Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Parkinsonism dementia Complex (ALS-PDC) is a neurodegenerative disease linked to the traditional consumption of cycad seeds by the Chamorro people of Guam. Little is known about the etiological role of cycad toxin in ALS-PDC. Patient derived induced pluripotent stem cells were derived from age and sex matched affected and unaffected patient lymphoid cells then differentiated into cerebral organoids. After three months, the ALS-PDC affected organoids were smaller, their neurons had less extensive neurite outgrowth, and the organoids had more reactive astrocytes and M1 microglia, fewer resting and M2 microglia, and more open extracellular space. Most of these phenomena could be recapitulated by exposing unaffected organoids to β-methylamino L-alanine (BMAA), a toxic amino acid produced by cyanobacteria living with cycad plants. Furthermore, ALS-PDC affected organoids exhibited an exacerbated neuroinflammatory response to BMAA exposure via activation of caspase1/NLRP3 inflammasome. A genome-wide transcriptome analysis of the organoids showed that the most down regulated pathways were taurine, alanine, aspartate, and glutamate metabolism; protein digestion; and absorption. The most down-regulated biological processes were type I interferon signaling, regulation of neuron differentiation and extracellular matrix organization. Our results suggested that the etiology of ALS-PDC is due to metabolic disorders that shifted microglia to a more proinflammatory M1 state instead of a non-inflammatory, repairing M2 state, which exacerbated inflammation and reduced extracellular matrix strength. Supplementation of transforming growth factor beta to ALS/PDC affected organoids increased the expression of interferon-induced transmembrane proteins (IFITMs) and restored M2 microglia populations and extracellular matrix organization. Organoids containing networks of neurons, astrocytes, microglia derived from iPSC with our protocol provides an excellent cellular model for neurodegenerative disease modeling.

Bone regeneration is a critical problem in modern clinical practice. Osteocytes are the most abundant cell population of mature adult bone that plays major roles in the regulation of bone formation. In humans, the segmental bone defects cannot be repaired by endogenous regenerative mechanisms. Bone tissue engineering (BTE) is a promising option for the treatment of difficult segmental and skeletal defects. BTE requires suitable cell sources with rapid expansion and adequate function, inducible factors, and scaffolds, to successfully regenerate or repair the bone injury. To overcome the disadvantages of using allogeneic and autologous tissue grafts, stem cell-based therapy has progressed an advanced topic in regenerative medicine. In the past few decades, numerous attempts have been made to generate osteocytes by using pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) for repair and regeneration of bone defects. Human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) are PSCs that can self-renew and differentiate into a variety of cell types. Reprogramming of human somatic cells into hiPSCs provides a new opportunity for regenerative medicine, cell-based drug discovery, disease modeling, and toxicity assessment. The ability to differentiate hiPSCs towards mesenchymal stem cells (iPSC-MSCs) is essential for treating bone-related damages and injuries. Several in vitro studies revealed that the cell type of origin for iPSCs, a combination of transcription factors, the type of promoter in the vector, transduction methods, scaffolds, differentiating techniques, and culture medium may affect the osteogenic differentiation potential of hiPSCs. This review will focus on several factors that influence the osteogenic differentiation of human iPSCs.
