Loss of function (LoF) of TAR-DNA binding protein 43 (TDP-43) and mis-localization, together with TDP-43-positive and hyperphosphorylated inclusions, are found in post-mortem tissue of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD) patients, including those carrying LoF variants in the progranulin gene (GRN). Modeling TDP-43 pathology has been challenging in vivo and in vitro. We present a three-dimensional induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived paradigm—mature brain organoids (mbOrg)—composed of cortical-like-astrocytes (iA) and neurons. When devoid of GRN, mbOrgs spontaneously recapitulate TDP-43 mis-localization, hyperphosphorylation, and LoF phenotypes. Mixing and matching genotypes in mbOrgs showed that GRN−/− iA are drivers for TDP-43 pathology. Finally, we rescued TDP-43 LoF by adding exogenous progranulin, demonstrating a link between TDP-43 LoF and progranulin expression. In conclusion, we present an iPSC-derived platform that shows striking features of human TDP-43 proteinopathy and provides a tool for the mechanistic modeling of TDP-43 pathology and patient-tailored therapeutic screening for FTD and ALS. GRN−/− mbOrgs made of mature astrocytes and neurons show traits of TDP-43 pathology GRN−/− astrocytes are necessary and sufficient for STMN2 mis-splicing in mbOrg STMN2 mis-splicing is rescued, adding progranulin to neuron and astrocyte co-cultures In this article, de Majo et al. present a novel 3D iPSC-derived model to study neurodegenerative disorders such as ALS and FTD. When devoid of GRN expression, these cultures present features of ALS- and FTD-associated pathology hardly ever observed in vitro. These phenotypes are shown to be primarily driven by diseased astrocytes and can be rescued by pro-granulin supplementation.
