Modeling and Targeting Alzheimer’s Disease With Organoids

Abstract: Human neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease (AD), are not easily modeled in vitro due to the inaccessibility of brain tissue and the level of complexity required by existing cell culture systems. Three-dimensional (3D) brain organoid systems generated from human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) have demonstrated considerable potential in recapitulating key features of AD pathophysiology, such as amyloid plaqueand neurofibrillary tangle-like structures. A number of AD brain organoid models have … Show more

“…Therefore, a detailed understanding of the pathophysiology underlying AD and the development of novel therapeutics are highly desirable. However, this remains quite challenging due to the experimental inaccessibility of the functional human brain 3 . Instead, in vitro model systems offer alternative and unprecedented opportunities to study AD, as they can recapitulate faithfully some key features involved in AD pathophysiology.…”

“…The horizontal layers of the cerebral cortex arranged from outer to inner include Layers 1–6 and the 4 main layers of the cerebellar cortex from outer to inner are also simulated. NEUBOrg platform, aiWBO simulations, was built based on the following comprehensive literature to provide genotypic and phenotypic markers for identifying cell types, brain regions and cortical layers ( Ahn et al, 2004 ; Logan et al, 2011 , 2020 ; Santos et al, 2011 ; Kirsch et al, 2012 ; Hattori, 2014 ; Lancaster and Knoblich, 2014 ; Lippmann et al, 2015 ; Zemke et al, 2015 ; Zhao et al, 2015 ; Tkachenko et al, 2016 ; Espuny-Camacho et al, 2018 ; Krefft et al, 2018 ; McKenzie et al, 2018 ; Qian et al, 2018 , 2019 ; Wang, 2018 ; Chen et al, 2019 , 2020 ; Do and Hong, 2019 ; Gerakis and Hetz, 2019 ; Kim et al, 2019 , 2020 ; Lancaster and Huch, 2019 ; Velasco et al, 2019 ; Bhaduri et al, 2020 ; Papaspyropoulos et al, 2020 ). A compilation of relevant markers is presented in Supplementary Tables S1–S5 .…”

“…Mutations in key components of the Wnt cascade are responsible for the development of various types of cancer, such as melanomas, colorectal, and liver cancers [ 78 , 79 ]. Due to its major involvement in the regulation of stemness, Wnt pathway activation plays a critical role in patient-derived organoid formation, as it has been shown for several tissues such as colon, lung, and skin [ 80 , 81 , 82 , 83 ]. Inactivation of the Hippo pathway scaffold RASSF1A was found to be required for Wnt and Hippo pathway crosstalk resulting in maintenance of pluripotency, while RASSF1A uncouples Wnt from Hippo signaling to enable stem cell and embryonic differentiation towards all cell lineages, through p73 [ 65 ].…”
