Cell-free DNA (cfDNA) has the potential to be a noninvasive diagnostic tool for early disease detection. This study investigates cfDNA markers produced by cardiac organoids, showing that cfDNA can be recovered from cardiac organoids and that the release is highest during early differentiation. The study also identifies changes in specific genomic regions and cfDNA markers associated with cardiotoxic drug treatment.
Cell-free DNA (cfDNA) present in the bloodstream or other bodily fluids holds potential as a noninvasive diagnostic for early disease detection. However, it remains unclear what cfDNA markers might be produced in response to specific tissue-level events. Organoid systems present a tractable and efficient method for screening cfDNA markers. However, research investigating the release of cfDNA from organoids is limited. Here, we present a scalable method for high-throughput screening of cfDNA from cardiac organoids. We demonstrate that cfDNA is recoverable from cardiac organoids, and that cfDNA release is the highest early in differentiation. Intriguingly, we observed that the fraction of cell-free mitochondrial DNA appeared to decrease as the organoids developed, suggesting a possible signature of cardiac organoid maturation, or other cardiac growth-related tissue-level events. We also observe alterations in the prevalence of specific genomic regions in cardiac organoid-derived cfDNA at different timepoints during growth. In addition, we identify cfDNA markers that were increased upon addition of cardiotoxic drugs, prior to the onset of tissue demise. Together, these results indicate that cardiac organoids may be a useful system towards the identification of candidate predictive cfDNA markers of cardiac tissue development and demise.
