Human-induced pluripotent stem cell-derived hepatocyte platform in modeling of SARS-CoV-2 infection
Background and Aim
Currently, SARS-CoV-2 is still spreading rapidly and globally. A large proportion of patients with COVID-19 developed liver injuries. The human-induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived hepatocytes recapitulate primary human hepatocytes and have been widely used in studies of liver diseases.
Methods
To explore the susceptibility of hepatocytes to SARS-CoV-2, we differentiated iPSCs to functional hepatocytes and tried infecting them with different MOI (1, 0.1, 0.01) of SARS-CoV-2.
Results
The iPSC-derived hepatocytes are highly susceptible to virus infection, even at 0.01 MOI. Other than the ancestral strain, iHeps also support the replication of SARS-CoV-2 variants including alpha, beta, theta, and delta. More interestingly, the ACE2 expression significantly upregulated after infection, suggesting a vicious cycle between virus infection and liver injury.
Conclusions
The iPSC-derived hepatocytes can support the replication of SARS-CoV-2, and this platform could be used to investigate the SARS-CoV-2 hepatotropism and hepatic pathogenic mechanisms.
