SummaryThe brainstem controls heartbeat, blood pressure and respiration, which are life-sustaining functions, therefore, disorders of the brainstem can be lethal. Brain organoids derived from human pluripotent stem cells recapitulate the course of human brain development and are expected to be useful for medical research on central nervous system disorders. However, existing organoid models have limitations, hampering the elucidation of diseases affecting specific components of the brain. Here, we developed a method to generate human brainstem organoids (hBSOs), containing neural crest stem cells as well as midbrain/hindbrain progenitors, noradrenergic and cholinergic neurons, and dopaminergic neurons, demonstrated by specific electrophysiological signatures. Single-cell RNA sequence analysis, together with proteomics and electrophysiology, revealed that the cellular population in these organoids was similar to that of the human brainstem and neural crest, which raises the possibility of making use of hBSOs in grafting for transplantation, efficient drug screenings and modeling the neural crest diseases.

Neural Crest Stem Cells

Neural crest stem cells (NCSCs) represent a transient and multipotent cell population that contributes to numerous anatomical structures such as peripheral nervous system, teeth, and cornea. NCSC maldevelopment is related to various human diseases including pigmentation abnormalities, disorders affecting autonomic nervous system, and malformations of teeth, eyes, and hearts. As human pluripotent stem cells including human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) and human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) can serve as an unlimited cell source to generate NCSCs, hESC/hiPSC-derived NCSCs can be a valuable tool to study the underlying mechanisms of NCSC-associated diseases, which paves the way for future therapies for these abnormalities. In addition, hESC/hiPSC-derived NCSCs with the capability of differentiating to various cell types are highly promising for clinical organ repair and regeneration. In this review, we first discuss NCSC generation methods from human pluripotent stem cells and differentiation mechanism of NCSCs. Then we focus on the clinical application potential of hESC/hiPSC-derived NCSCs on peripheral nerve injuries, corneal blindness, tooth regeneration, pathological melanogenesis, Hirschsprung disease, and cardiac repair and regeneration.
