AbstractWe introduce a simple, robust and scalable method to generate self-organized blastocyst-like cysts (soBLCs) from human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs). We use a copolymer hydrogel of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) and poly(ethylene glycol) (PNIPAAm-PEG). hPSC aggregates with a diameter of approximately 117.2 ± 5.1 µm are cultured in a medium supplemented with a hydrogel and a serum for three days. Molecular signatures in the medium revealed the generation of trophoblasts and inner cell mass at specific positions in the soBLCs.

Human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) self-organize into apicobasally polarized cysts, reminiscent of the lumenal epiblast stage, providing a model to explore key morphogenic processes in early human embryos. Here, we show that apical polarization begins on the interior of single hPSCs through the dynamic formation of a highly organized perinuclear apicosome structure. The membrane surrounding the apicosome is enriched in apical markers and displays microvilli and a primary cilium; its lumenal space is rich in Ca2+. Time-lapse imaging of isolated hPSCs reveals that the apicosome forms de novo in interphase, retains its structure during mitosis, is asymmetrically inherited after mitosis, and relocates to the recently formed cytokinetic plane, where it establishes a fully polarized lumen. In a multicellular aggregate of hPSCs, intracellular apicosomes from multiple cells are trafficked to generate a common lumenal cavity. Thus, the apicosome is a unique preassembled apical structure that can be rapidly used in single or clustered hPSCs to initiate self-organized apical polarization and lumenogenesis.
