- Abstract:
- Genetic engineering of human-induced pluripotent stem cell-derived neural stem cells (hiPSC-NSC) may increase the risk of genomic aberrations. Therefore, we asked whether genetic modification of hiPSC-NSCs exacerbates chromosomal abnormalities that may occur during passaging and whether they may cause any functional perturbations in NSCs in vitro and in vivo. The transgenic cassette was inserted into the AAVS1 locus, and the genetic integrity of zinc-finger nuclease (ZFN)-modified hiPSC-NSCs was assessed by the SNP-based karyotyping. The hiPSC-NSC proliferation was assessed in vitro by the EdU incorporation assay and in vivo by staining of brain slices with Ki-67 antibody at 2 and 8 weeks after transplantation of ZFN-NSCs with and without chromosomal aberration into the striatum of immunodeficient rats. During early passages, no chromosomal abnormalities were detected in unmodified or ZFN-modified hiPSC-NSCs. However, at higher passages both cell populations acquired duplication of the entire long arm of chromosome 1, dup(1)q. ZNF-NSCs carrying dup(1)q exhibited higher proliferation rate than karyotypically intact cells, which was partly mediated by increased expression of AKT3 located on Chr1q. Compared to karyotypically normal ZNF-NSCs, cells with dup(1)q also exhibited increased proliferation in vivo 2 weeks, but not 2 months, after transplantation. These results demonstrate that, independently of ZFN-editing, hiPSC-NSCs have a propensity for acquiring dup(1)q and this aberration results in increased proliferation which might compromise downstream hiPSC-NSC applications. © 2020 The Authors.
