The pituitary is a major hormone center that secretes systemic hormones responding to hypothalamus-derived-releasing hormones. Previously, we reported the independent pituitary induction and hypothalamic differentiation of human embryonic stem cells (ESCs). Here, a functional hypothalamic-pituitary unit is generated using human induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells in vitro. The adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) secretion capacity of the induced pituitary reached a comparable level to that of adult mouse pituitary because of the simultaneous maturation with hypothalamic neurons within the same aggregates. Corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) from the hypothalamic area regulates ACTH cells similarly to our hypothalamic-pituitary axis. Our induced hypothalamic-pituitary units respond to environmental hypoglycemic condition in vitro, which mimics a life-threatening situation in vivo, through the CRH-ACTH pathway, and succeed in increasing ACTH secretion. Thus, we generated powerful hybrid organoids by recapitulating hypothalamic-pituitary development, showing autonomous maturation on the basis of interactions between developing tissues.

下丘脑对垂体功能的贡献是使用3D培养的人iPS细胞体外概括的。

垂体是主要的激素中心,其分泌响应下丘脑衍生的释放激素的全身激素。以前,我们报道了人类胚胎干细胞(ESC)的独立垂体诱导和下丘脑分化。在这里,使用人诱导的多能干(iPS)细胞在体外产生功能性下丘脑-垂体单元。诱导垂体的促肾上腺皮质激素(ACTH)分泌能力达到了成年小鼠垂体的相当水平,因为在同一聚集体中下丘脑神经元同时成熟。下丘脑区域的促肾上腺皮质激素释放激素(CRH)与我们的下丘脑-垂体轴类似地调节ACTH细胞。我们诱导的下丘脑-垂体单位在体外对环境降血糖情况有反应,通过CRH-ACTH途径模拟体内威胁生命的情况,并成功增加ACTH分泌。因此,我们通过概括下丘脑-垂体的发育,产生了强大的杂种类器官,在发育组织之间的相互作用基础上显示出自主成熟。
