Data for: PIEZO1-HaloTag hiPSCs: bridging molecular, cellular and tissue imaging (Version: 6)

PIEZO1 channels play a critical role in numerous physiological processes by transducing diverse mechanical stimuli into electrical and chemical signals. Recent studies underscore the importance of endogenous PIEZO1 activity and localization in regulating mechanotransduction. To enable physiologically and clinically relevant human-based studies, we genetically engineered human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) to express a HaloTag fused to endogenous PIEZO1. Combined with super-resolution imaging, our chemogenetic approach allows precise visualization of PIEZO1 in various cell types. Further, the PIEZO1-HaloTag hiPSC technology allows non-invasive monitoring of channel activity via Ca2+-sensitive HaloTag ligands, with temporal resolution approaching that of patch clamp electrophysiology. Using lightsheet imaging of hiPSC-derived neural organoids, we also achieve molecular scale PIEZO1 imaging in three-dimensional tissue samples. Our advances offer a novel platform for studying PIEZO1 mechanotransduction in human cells and tissues, with potential for elucidating disease mechanisms and development of targeted therapeutics.
