Abstract

In this protocol we describe the differentiation of human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) into human midbrain-like organoids (hMLOs). This protocol has been developed based from several published protocols.

Day 0

Dissociate iPSC colonies to single cells with Accutase for 00:07:00   at 37 °C  .

Re-suspend cells in day0 medium and plate 8.000 cells/well in 96-Wells Plate U-round-Bottom Low Attachment.

Day 4

Carefully exchange the medium, without touching the EBs.

Day 7: Matrigel embedding

1d 0h 30m

Dilute Matrigel in a 3:2 ratio with day 4 medium (used as an embedding mixture).

Wash EBs in day 4 medium. Transfer and mix 5-8 EBs into the embedding mixture and plate onto a 6-well ultra-low-attachment plate.

Incubate for 00:30:00   at 37 °C   and add day 7 medium.

30m

Incubate at least 24:00:00   between d7 and d8.

Day 8

Add fresh differentiation medium without disrupting the embedded EBs.

After Day 8 change medium twice a week. 

Day 10-13

At day 10 reduce CHIR to 3.0 micromolar (µM)   (1:1000).

Day 13-15

Reduce CHIR to 0.7 micromolar (µM)  . Remove CHIR from medium at day 15 and onwards.

Day 20-25

Manually dissociate organoids from Matrigel, using two surgical needles.

Place on orbital shaker after dissociation (80 rpm ).
