Introduction

Human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) can be grown in cell culture where they self-organize spatial patterns. Libby et al. have employed inducible CRISPR interference-driven genetic perturbations to modulate mechanical cell properties like cell-cell adhesion and cortical tension. Cells with induced perturbations were labelled by mCherry, revealing emergent spatial patterns including the well-mixed, multi-island, and bullseye patterns.

The multi-cellular model allowed to optimize parameter values in silico (and corresponding to CRISPR-based modulations of the mechanical cell properties) in order to obtain a selected target pattern. The in silico predicted experimental parameters were then indeed found to generate the desired patterns in vitro. This proposes a strategy for controlled spatio-temporal patterning in tissue engineering. See also the two other, related models by Libby et al.

Description

  • Units in the model are $[\text{space}] = \mathrm{\mu m}$, $[\text{time}] = \mathrm{hours}$.
  • Parameter values were fitted by Libby et al. to in vitro cell culture experiments of hiPSC colony growth. Here, the CDH1-KD treatment (CDH1 encodes the cell-cell adhesion molecule E-cadherin) in some of the cells leads to reduced E-cadherin expression and reduced cell-cell adhesion. The corresponding parameter changes break the symmetry and lead to pattering into multiple islands.
  • In this CPM-based model, the primary determinant of global patterning is differential adhesion. However, other cellular behaviors such as persistent motion, contact-inhibited migration (or lack thereof), cell cortex rigidity, and (optional) the tendency of peripheral cells to be more migratory are represented in this model.
  • Initial conditions: 2 cell types, random intial positions, 100 total cells densely clustered, CDH1-KD (shown blue) and wildtype (shown grey) cells were mixed in a 1:1 ratio.
  • Constraints: cell size, cortex stiffness, cell-cell adhesion strength, cell-media adhesion (at colony borders) are derived from literature and experiments.
  • The published model file was originally developed with Morpheus version 1.9.1 and is provided by the authors (Demarcus Briers, Iman Haghighi, David Joy and Ashley Libby) together with a docker container, data analysis pipeline and parameter optimization pipeline at Demarcus Briers' Git repo.
  • Note that the published model file has set generic values for some of the parameters while the authors' script MorpheusSetup.py defines the parameter set as used for the results, i.e. num_cells_ct2=50 (wt cells, hence num_cells_ct1=50 CDH1-KD cells), ct2_perturbation_time=0 (p.487 bottom right: “KD of gene expression was induced upon mixing”), ct2_adhesion_weak=-70. These parameter values were fixed in the new model file provided below together with added data loggers. These parameter settings were generated and placed in the base model AdhesionDriven_CellModel_v5.7.2.latest.xml by calling the setup script like this: python2 MorpheusSetup.py --simulation_time 120 wildtype -144 CDH1-0 0 50 0
  • The new model file provided below has been updated (solver naming, added ctall_medium_adhesion_init = 0 in Global to ease initialization of CellTypes, added reference and links to description) such that it works with Morpheus version 2.2.2 and later and reproduces the original results.

Results

This model reproduces the CDH1-KD : WT mixed cell culture simulation as published in Video S4 of Libby et al. The spatio-temporal pattern matches the experiment (CDH1-KD cells are mCherry-labelled and shown in blue, WT in grey) as published in Video S3 of Libby et al. The following figure shows a snapshot of the simulation state at $96\ \mathrm h$ and qualitatively reproduces Fig.2H.
