HCS Pharma extends its 3D cell culture range BIOMIMESYS®
with BIOMIMESYS® Brain
Following the success of BIOMIMESYS® range of products, which accurately and
physiologically reproduces the microenvironment of liver, adipose and cancerous tissues,
HCS Pharma is expanding its product range with BIOMIMESYS® Brain, an exclusive and
innovative system for the 3D cell culture of neuronal cells.
BIOMIMESYS® technology, provided “ready-to-use”, is easy to handle for in vitro testing. It
reproduces physiological conditions thanks to a microenvironment based on Hyaluronic Acid, a product
naturally present in the extracellular matrix. BIOMIMESYS® Brain includes in particular collagen IV and
a cationic biopolymer that promotes the long-term culture of neural cells. In addition, its specific
Young's modulus makes its rigidity similar to that of the cerebral extracellular matrix.
All the features of BIOMIMESYS® Brain and the first validation tests are available on
https://biomimesys.com/products/biomimesys-brain/
Today, in vitro tests are a critical step in the development of new drugs for the pharmaceutical and
dermo-cosmetic industries. They make it possible to validate the efficacy of a molecule and test its
toxicity well before the costly phases of clinical testing. They also help to reduce or even replace the
use of animals in preclinical tests. However, these tests are still often performed with 2D cell culture
systems, which are not close enough to the human tissues to give predictive results. The transition to
3D cell culture tools is now necessary for research and industry. BIOMIMESYS® technology facilitates
this transition by reproducing the cellular microenvironment, as close as possible to biological reality.
Several other products are available:
• BIOMIMESYS® Liver : https://biomimesys.com/products/biomimesys-liver/
• BIOMIMESYS® Adipose Tissue : https://biomimesys.com/products/biomimesys-adipose-tissue/
• BIOMIMESYS® Oncology: https://biomimesys.com/products/biomimesys-oncology/
To assist its customers in the use of BIOMIMESYS® technology, HCS Pharma also proposes to develop
cell culture protocols in this environment for specific cell types, on request. BIOMIMESYS® technology
is protected by an exclusive patent held by HCS Pharma.
HCS Pharma
HCS Pharma is a biotechnology start-up located in Lille and Rennes, which offers research and

The utilization of animal stem cells to grow muscle and fat tissues in vitro for consumption, dubbed “cell-based meat,” offers an unprecedented opportunity to transform animal agriculture and produce meat in a humane and sustainable way. This nascent, interdisciplinary industry intersects cell biology, tissue engineering, biochemical engineering, and food science, with tangential impacts on issues relating to environmental science, human health, and regulatory policies. This talk will provide an industry snapshot and highlight the current challenges to scaling cell-based meat production, focusing on the needs and opportunities for industrial biotechnology to participate in the development of new tools, resources, or optimizations required to reach price parity with traditional animal meat. Finally, applications for industrial biotechnology in the broader "cellular agriculture" fields will be discussed.

Abstract: Lung cancer is one of the most frequent cancers in the world with a high mortality rate. The discovery of oncogenic alterations in these cancers allowed the development of targeted therapies against several receptor tyrosine kinases (RTK) including EGFR, ALK or MET and contributed to improve the prognosis of some patients. Mutations impacting the MET receptor exon 14 splice sites (METex14) have recently been detected in about 3% of lung cancers and lead to the loss of the juxtamembrane domain with several negative regulatory sites. METex14 does not lead to constitutive activation of the receptor but we demonstrated that HGF, its ligand, is required for the full development of the transforming capabilities of the METex14 receptor in SCID-HGFhuman transgenic mice. Several clinical trials have shown that only half of METex14 patients responded to MET inhibitors. While encouraging, these results are lower than those obtained with other treatments such as EGFR inhibitors. Interestingly, METex14 mutations are frequently associated with other molecular alterations including PTEN loss or TP53 mutations. Furthermore, we have shown that many METex14 mutated patients have autocrine secretion of HGF ligand. Understanding how these co-alterations impact METex14 oncogenicity and sensitivity to existing therapies is of outmost importance to identify patients that could benefit from them.

In oncology, 97% of drug candidates fail in clinical trials. This highlights a lack of relevance of preclinical models used upstream. Indeed, human in vitro models don’t consider the Tumoral Extracellular Matrix (TECM). However, more and more studies demonstrate that ECM composition and stiffness are modified in tumors and are linked to cancer initiation, progression, propagation, and drug resistances. BIOMIMESYS® is a Hyaluronic Acid-based matrix grafted with structural and adhesion molecules, which mimics the ECM/TECM. It is chemically defined and its composition and stiffness can be modified to reproduce the organ-specificity of the ECM, or to mimic a pathological microenvironment in vitro. We have demonstrated that the exposition of colon cancer cells cultured in BIOMIMESYS® Oncology matrix to an anti-proliferative drug showed a closer in vitro/in vivo correlation in the EC50 curve compared to 2D culture. Cancer cells can be advantageously grown in BIOMIMESYS® for several weeks in multiwell plates and in microfluidic chips for more advanced models. We also observed that modifications in the matrix composition and stiffness modify the cell behavior. Moreover, thanks to collaborations with academic laboratories, we demonstrated that BIOMIMESYS® allows to reproduce in vitro the behavior of cancerous cells in vivo, like mutation effects and metastasis propagation, and could be a relevant alternative to animal models. These results showed that the matricial microenvironment modifies the cell behavior in vitro and should be considered carefully in drug discovery. BIOMIMESYS® hydroscaffold™ is adapted to High Content Screening and represented a powerful tool to better select drug candidate.

We previously showed that human pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) provide a suitable model to study metabolic diseases upon hepatocyte-like cell (HLC) differentiation. With a non-invasive approach, hiPSCs can be generated from urine samples of patients and HLCs have been used to model cholesterol metabolism regulation, by the study of LDLR- and PCSK9-mediated autosomal dominant hypercholesterolemia (ADH) as well as PCSK9-mediated familial hypobetalipoproteinemia (FHBL). This model provides promising advantages with a direct link to the patient and with an unlimited source of HLCs. But like all models, there are limitations, mainly by the neonatal characteristic of HLCs lead to difficulties for pharmacological investigations.   Therefore, to overcome these burdens, we chose to 1. Differentiate hiPSCs into HLCs in an innovative 3D <a href="https://hcs-pharma.com/biomimesys/">hyaluronic acid-based hydroscaffold</a>, BIOMIMESYS® produces by HCS Pharma to enhance their maturation. 2. Adapt our 3D differentiation process to a 96-well format to make it compatible for drug screening. 3. Characterization of the 3D HLCs model by metabolism tests and compare to primary human hepatocyte (PHH).   We gathered 3’ SRP data all along the differentiation process and RNAseq has been performed by comparing 2D and 3D differentiation conditions to characterize hiPSCs differentiation into liver organoids. We observed an enhanced expression of most hepatic genes and genes expressed by non-parenchymal cells such as stellate cells. Immunofluorescence data confirmed the co-localization of albumin-positive hepatocytes, desmin-positive stellate cells and LYVE1-positive endothelial cells in liver organoids. Finally, at a functional level, several CYP activities including CYP3A4 were detected at the basal level and successfully induced. Liver organoids responded to pharmacological treatments as shown by their ability to accumulate lipids upon amiodarone treatment or uptake LDL-bodipy upon statin treatment.   Altogether, our development gave rise to functional liver organoids generated with a unique and common procedure, in a process of automating for future high throughput screening.

Aim: About 90% of drug-candidates failed in clinical trials, in particular in neurology, due to a lack of efficacy. That highlights a lack of relevance in preclinical models, including in vitro models, which do not take into account the microenvironment, composed by glial cells and the Extracellular Matrix (ECM). The objective was to study the influence of the microenvironment in cerebral in vitro models, in the frame of Parkinson’s Disease (PD). Methods: First, we analyzed the influence of astrocytes on Luhmes cell sensitivity, a dopaminergic neuronal cell line, in 2D culture. Then, we developed a hyaluronic acid-based hydroscaffold for 3D cell culture, which mimics the ECM, and study the sensitivity of Luhmes cells in this model. Thirdly, we performed a co-culture of Luhmes cells and astrocytes in this matrix, to form a complex model including both the glial and the matricial microenvironments. Results: We observed a protective effect of astrocytes in 2D culture. In the hydroscaffold, Luhmes cells displayed a lower sensitivity compared to 2D culture, that was explained by a partial retention of toxic molecules in the matrix, and differences in neuronal protein expression. In the co-culture, we observed spheroids containing both neurons and astrocytes. Conclusions: This work highlighted that the microenvironment of neurons can modify the neuronal response in vitro, and should thus be considered carefully in academic research and in drug discovery. This model can be now used to study the microenvironment modifications in pathological conditions, and to develop innovative drugs targeting the microenvironment.

metabolic diseases upon hepatocyte-like cell (HLC) differentiation. In particular, HLCs have been used to model cholesterol metabolism regulation, by mimicking the main disease features in vitro. Human iPSCs can be generated from urine samples of patients with a well-described phenotype and carrying specific genotypes. This non-invasive approach allowed the study of LDLR- and PCSK9-mediated autosomal dominant hypercholesterolemia (ADH) as well as PCSK9-mediated familial hypobetalipoproteinemia (FHBL). While the direct link between hiPSCs and patients, as well as the abundance of HLCs provide promising advantages of such strategy, it is impaired mainly by the neonatal characteristic of HLCs as well as the difficulty to perform high throughput studies for pharmacological investigations.

Therefore, to overcome these burdens, we choose to 1. Differentiate hiPSCs into HLCs in a 3D environment instead of the classical 2D culture systems to enhance their maturation; 2. Adapt our 3D differentiation process to a 96 wells format to make it compatible for drug screening. To reach our goals, we established a partnership with HCS Pharma, which has an expertise in high content phenotypic screening and produces an innovative 3D scaffold, BiomimesysTM. This scaffold is composed of hyaluronic acid that can be functionalized with extra cellular matric derivatives, with adjustable stiffness and porosity. We setup conditions for hiPSCs seeding and differentiation to reach a new protocol adapted to a 3D environment. Our preliminary data indicate that our procedure enhanced expression of hepatic markers such as transcription factors (FOXA2, FOXA3, HNF1a, HNF1b, HNF4a), cytochrome P450 (CYP450) family members (CYP3A4, CYP2A6, CYP7A1) or cholesterol metabolism regulators (PCSK9, Lipoprotein(a)). During our presentation, we will discuss our data hiPSCs differentiation in 3D, CYP450 activities and induction, as well as their application for the study of metabolic diseases.

As shown by AstraZeneca in Nature reviews*, one third of the safety failures is linked to CNS toxicity during the clinical trials of drugs. Therefore, relevant in vitro human model is needed to detect early neurotoxicity of drug candidates. In this study, sensitivity of iPSC-derived neuronal cells to 32 compounds is compared to the sensitivity of SH-SY5Y cells. Two types of iPS-derived cells are tested: central nervous system cells (CNS.4U™ cells) and peripheral nervous system cells (PERI.4U™ cells) from Ncardia. Toxic effects are then measured by HCS cell imaging.

Human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSC) are becoming a relevant model for the study of liver metabolic diseases once differentiated into hepatocyte-like cells (HLC), and it has been shown that they can faithfully recapitulate autosomal dominant hypercholesterolemia (ADH). PCSK9 is a critical modulator of cholesterol homeostasis, and quickly became a hot target for ADH pharmacological treatment strategies. However, current cellular models to further decipher the role of PCSK9 in ADH are limited, especially to study the PCSK9 gain of function mutation S127R, which seems to interfere with LDL cholesterol homeostasis intracellularly by still unknown mechanisms.
