{"doi":"10.1101/2023.07.11.548571","title":"Integrated Manufacturing Platform for Cortical Organoids Reveals Early Phosphatase and Prefoldin Dysregulation in <i>MAPT</i> V337M Neurons","abstract":"Summary Human pluripotent stem cell (hPSC)-derived cortical organoids are powerful models but are often limited by low efficiency, variability, and stress-related artifacts. To address these challenges, we developed a scalable organoid platform with end-to-end quality control (QC) metrics spanning manufacturing and single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq), developed using eight MAPT mutation isogenic line sets relevant to frontotemporal dementia (FTD-tau). Using a 96 slit-well format, we achieved ∼100% production efficiency across 64 lines. Controlled-release FGF2 enhanced iPSC pluripotency and reduced mesendodermal contaminants, while optimized SB431542 dosing enhanced cortical patterning across lines with variable TGFBR1/ALK5 expression. The resulting organoids displayed transcriptomic profiles and low-stress signatures closely aligned with the developing human cortex. Applying a cortical organoid scRNA-seq index (CortiCOSI), we identified early dysregulation of phosphatase regulators ( PPP2CA, ANP32A ) and the prefoldin subunit PFDN6 in MAPT V337M excitatory neurons before tau hyperphosphorylation and oligomerization. This platform improves scalability, reproducibility, and mechanistic insight in cortical organoid studies.","journal":"bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)","year":2023,"id":389780,"datarank":0.4493598410330987,"base_score":2.995732273553991,"endowment":2.995732273553991,"self_citation_contribution":0.4493598410330987,"citation_network_contribution":0.0,"self_endowment_contribution":0.4493598410330987,"citer_contribution":0.0,"corpus_percentile":null,"corpus_rank":null,"citation_count":19,"citer_count":0,"citers_with_citation_signal":0,"citers_with_endowment":0,"datacite_reuse_total":0,"is_dataset":false,"is_dataset_confidence":0.946,"is_data_producer":false,"deposit_databanks":null,"is_oa":true,"file_count":0,"downloads":0,"has_version_chain":false,"published_date":"2023-01-01","fair_score":null,"fair_percentile":null,"algorithm_id":"datarank_citation_only_1hop_v6","ranking_scope":"data_only","authors":[{"id":451043,"name":"Kathryn R.
