The effect of Vitamin D3 and Valproic Acid on the maturation of human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived enterocyte-like cells.
Stem Cells 2023 May 26
Cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) is involved in first-pass metabolism in the small intestine and is heavily implicated in oral drug bioavailability and pharmacokinetics. We previously reported that Vitamin D3 (VD3), a known CYP enzyme inducer, induces functional maturation of iPSC-derived enterocyte-like cells (iPSC-ent). Here, we identified a Notch activator and CYP modulator Valproic Acid (VPA), as a promotor for the maturation of iPSC-ent. We performed bulk RNA sequencing to investigate the changes in gene expression during the differentiation and maturation periods of these cells. VPA potentiated gene expression of key enterocyte markers ALPI, FABP2, and transporters such as SULT1B1. RNA sequencing analysis further elucidated several function-related pathways involved in fatty acid metabolism, significantly upregulated by VPA when combined with VD3. Particularly, VPA treatment in tandem with VD3 significantly upregulated key regulators of enterohepatic circulation, such as FGF19, apical bile acid transporter SLCO1A2 and basolateral bile acid transporters SLC51A and SLC51B. To sum up, we could ascertain the genetic profile of our iPSC-ent cells to be specialized towards fatty acid absorption and metabolism instead of transporting other nutrients, such as amino acids, with the addition of VD3 and VPA in tandem. Together, these results suggest the possible application of VPA-treated iPSC-ent for modelling enterohepatic circulation.
