Conversion of murine extraembryonic trophoblast stem cells into induced pluripotent stem cells

ABSTRACT: Extraembryonic trophoblast stem cells (TSC) can be converted to induced pluripotent stem cells (TSC-iPSCs) by overexpressing Oct4, Sox2, Klf4 and cMyc. TSC lines were derived from mice harboring a doxycycline inducible Oct4 allele and an Oct4-GFP reporter that has been demonstrated to be activated in cells upon acquisition of pluripotency. Oct4-GFP-positive blastocysts were collected at 3.5 dpc and transduced with lentiviruses encoding doxycycline inducible Sox2, Klf4 and cMyc transgenes (4FTSC). 4FTSC lines were passaged 10 times to establish a population of constantly growing, self-renewing TSCs in the presence of FGF4 and fibroblast conditioned media. To induce lineage conversion, 4FTSCs were cultured under ESC/Lif conditions and doxycycline. After 28 days, several colonies displaying ESC-characteristic dome-shaped colony morphology and bright Oct4-GFP fluorescence could be detected. The 4FTSC-derived colonies were isolated mechanically, dissociated by trypsinization, and plated onto MEFs in ESC medium without doxycycline demonstrating the independence of exogenous factors. They will be called TSC-iPSCs (Trophoblast stem cell derived induced pluripotent stem cells). To examine if the extraembryonic lineage-specific mRNA profile was overcome, the gene-expression profiles of TSC-iPSCs and their parental 4FTSCs were analyzed by microarray analyses and compared to control ESCs.

Project description:Derivation and maintenance of pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) including embryonic stem cells(ESCs) and (iPSCs) usually requires optimization of complex culture media, which hinders the generation of PSCs from various species. Expression of Oct4, Sox2, Klf4 and c-Myc (OSKM) can reprogram somatic cells into iPSCs, even for species possessing no optimal culture condition. Here we explored whether expression of OSKM could induce and maintain pluripotency without specific growth factors and signaling inhibitors. Tet-On-OSKM/Oct4-GFP Mouse ESCs (mESCs) were derived from the embryos obtained after mating of Tet-On-OSKM mouse and Oct4-GFP mouse under the 2iL ( N2B27 plus MEK inhibitor PD0325901, GSK3β inhibitor ChIR99021, and leukemia inhibitory factor) condition. Tet-On-OSKM mouse was Gt(ROSA)26Sor tm1(rtTA*M2)Jae Col1a1 tm3(tetO-Pou5f1,-Sox2,-Klf4,-Myc)Jae/J(The Jackson Laboratory,011004), and Oct4-GFP mouse was B6;CBA-Tg(Pou5f1-EGFP)2Mnn/J (The Jackson Laboratory,004654).The culture medium of Tet-On-OSKM/Oct4-GFP mouse ESCs was switched from 2iL to N2B27 plus Doxycycline medium (OSKM medium), under which OSKM trangene was activated. These above cells switched from 2iL to OSKM medium were called OSKM-ESCs. Meanwhile 2iL-ESCs (continuely cultured in 2iL) served as the positive control group. 2iL-ESCs and OSKM-ESCs collected at selective days (d18, 25 and 38) after medium switch were collected for RNA-Seq. Moreover, Tet-On-OSKM mouse embryonic fibroblast (MEF) cells were reprogrammed under OSKM medium (N2B27 plus Doxycycline) and 2iL medium, respectively. The resulting OSKM-iPSCs were reprogrammed and cultured under OSKM medium.The 2iL-iPSCs were reprogrammed under 2iL plus Doxycycline medium and cultured under 2iL medium (without Doxycycline)once clones were picked up.RNA-Seq of these above samples was conducted to analyze gene expression. We found that via continuous expression of OSKM,OSKM-ESCs and OSKM-iPSCs propagated stably, expressed pluripotency marker genes, and formed three germ layers in teratomas. Importantly, OSKM-iPSCs could produce gene-modified animals through germline transmission.Transcriptional landscapes of OSKM-iPSCs resembled 2iL-ESCs, and were more similar to those of ESCs cultured in serum/LIF.
