SUMMARYThe human definitive yolk sac is an important organ supporting the early developing embryo through nutrient supply and by facilitating the establishment of the embryonic circulatory system. However, the molecular and cellular biology of the human yolk sac remains largely obscure due to the lack of suitable in vitro models. Here, we show that human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) co-cultured with various types of stromal cells as spheroids self-organize into yolk sac-like organoids without the addition of exogenous factors. Yolk sac-like organoids recapitulated a yolk sac specific cellular complement and structures as well as the functional ability to generate definitive hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPCs). Furthermore, sequential hemato-vascular ontogenesis could be observed during organoid formation. Notably, our organoid system can be performed in a scalable, autologous, and xeno-free condition, thereby providing an important model of human definitive yolk sac development and allows for efficient bulk generation of hiPSC-derived HPCs. |
