Abstract

Hepatic organoid technology holds great promise for the development of future Regenerative Medicine strategies to treat patients with severe liver disease. Recently, some studies have demonstrated robust protocols for isogenic organoid generation using induced Pluripotent Stem cells (iPS). However, using patient's specific iPS-derived cells poses a major challenge for a translational perspective. Self-recognizing protein gene editing protocols, i.e. HLA, using CRISPR-Cas9 technology can produce universal donor cells. However, none of the current universal cell production protocols has been completely effective in evading NK and CD8 + cytolytic cells. Similarly, liver grafting and functional replacement capacity of hepatic organoids obtained from universal iPS have also never been tested. Thus, the aim of this work is to investigate a new iPS cell gene editing strategy aiming the production of a universal donor cell line and to evaluate the efficiency of cytolytic escape using differentiated liver organoids obtained from the final produced cell line.
