Single cell RNA-sequencing of 75-day old human H1 and H9 embryonic stem cell-derived cerebral organoids
The scRNA-seq analysis of 75 day old human cerebral organoids grown at the air-liquid interface (ALI-COs) reveals six well-defined major clusters. Cell-type and maturity markers define a (1) distinct population of deep layer subcortical projection neurons, (2) upper layer intracortical (callosal) projection neurons and intermediate progenitors, (3) ventricular and subventricular zone radial glial cells, (4) more mature upper and deep layer neurons, (5) interneurons and (6) actively dividing cells with intermediate progenitor and radial glia markers. In addition, the gene expression profile of these clusters corresponds with their expected functional characteristics appropriate to their maturity. Altogether, our data reflect a full repertoire of cortical neuronal and progenitor identities corresponding with the stages of cortical development in age-matched fetal brains. Overall design: Single cell RNA-sequencing data was generated using the 10X Genomics Chromium Single Cell 3' Chip and workflow.
