MRNA-Seq and microRNA-Seq whole-transcriptome analysis of rhesus monkey ESC neural differentiation revealed the potential rosette neural stem cell regulators

ABSTRACT: Rosette neural stem cells (R-NSCs) represent early stage of neural development and possess full neural differentiation and regionalization capacities. R-NSCs are considered as stem cells of neural lineage and have important implications in study of neurogenesis and cell replacement therapy. However, the molecules regulating their functional properties remain largely unknown. Rhesus monkey is ideal model to study human neural degenerative diseases and plays intermediate translational roles as therapeutic strategies evolve from rodent systems to human clinical applications. In this study, we derived R-NSCs from rhesus monkey embryonic stem cells (rESCs) and systematically investigated the unique expressions of mRNAs, microRNAs, and signaling pathways by genome-wide comparison of the mRNA and microRNA profilings of ESCs, R-NSCs at early (R-NSCP1) and late passages (R-NSCP6) and neural progenitor cells (NPCs). Apart from the R-NSCP1 specific protein-coding genes and microRNAs, we identified several pathways including Hedgehog and Wnt highly activated in R-NSCP1. The possible regulatory interactions among the microRNAs, protein-coding genes and signaling pathways were proposed. Besides, many genes with alternative splicing switch were identified at R-NSCP1. These data provided valuable resource to understand the regulation of early neurogenesis and to better manipulate the R-NSCs for cell replacement therapy. mRNA and miRNA profiles for four stages in rhesus embryonic stem cell neural differentiation, eight samples in all

Project description:Human pluripotent stem cell derived models that accurately recapitulate neural development in vitro and allow for the generation of specific neuronal subtypes are of major interest to the stem cell and biomedical community. Notch signaling, particularly through the Notch effector HES5, is a major pathway critical for the onset and maintenance of neural progenitor cells (NPCs) in the embryonic and adult nervous system1-3. Use of a HES5 reporter enables the isolation distinct populations of human embryonic stem (ES) cell derived NPCs that represent building blocks of cortical development in vitro4. Here, we report the transcriptional and epigenomic analysis of six consecutive stages of human ES cell differentiation along the neural lineage aimed at modeling key cell fate decisions including specification, expansion and patterning during the ontogeny of neural stem and progenitor cells. In order to dissect the regulatory mechanisms that orchestrate the stage-specific differentiation process we developed a computational framework to infer key regulators of each cell state transition based on the progressive remodeling of the epigenetic landscape and then validated these through a pooled shRNA screen. We were also able to refine our previous observations on epigenetic priming at transcription factor binding sites and show here that they are mediated by combinations of core and stage-specific factors. Taken together, we demonstrate the utility of our reference maps and outline a general framework, not limited to the context of the neural lineage, to dissect regulatory circuits of differentiation. hESC were differentiated in vitro into 5 different NPC populations (NE, ERG, MRG, LRG and LNP) over a time period of 220 days. The hESCs and the first 3 NPC populations (NE, ERG, MRG) were subjected to ChIP-Seq for H3K4m3, H3K4me1, H3K27ac and H3K27me3 as well as RNA-Seq with two biological replicates each as well as whole genome bisulfite sequencing in singlicate. The last two populations (LRG, LNP) were both profiled by RRBS and the LRG populations also by RNA-Seq. In addition, each of the first three NPC populations were differentiated into more mature neuronal populations (NEdN, ERGdN, MRGdN). The LRG population was differentiated along the astrocyte fate (LRGdA). Each of these more mature populations was subjected to RNA-Seq in replicate. Finally, the NE and MRG populations were profiled for the transcription facctor OTX2 by ChIP-Seq.

Project description:Purpose: The aim of this study is (1) to identify the chromatin occupancy of the epigenetic regulator Smchd1 in neural stem cells (NSCs) derived from E14.5 mouse brain; (2) to profile key epigenetic marks H3K4me3, H3K27me3 and DNA methylation in wild type and Smchd1 null NSCs; (3) to identify the chromatin occupancy of Ctcf in wild type and Smchd1 null NSCs. Methods: Chromatin immunoprecipitation for Smchd1, H3K4me3, H3K27me3 and Ctcf was performed essentially as in (Nelson et al. 2006). Briefly, nuclei were isolated from formaldehyde crosslinked NSCs and chromatin was fragmented by sonication. Chromatin immunoprecipitation was performed with corresponding antibodies for Smchd1, H3K4me3 and H3K27me3. DNA was extracted from the immunoprecipitated fraction following reverse-crosslinking. Isolated DNA was used to generate sequencing libraries with Illumina's TruSeq DNA Sample Preparation Kit or Ovation Ultralow system (NuGen) according to manufacturer's instruction. Libraries were pooled and sequenced on the Illumina HiSeq 2000 platform for 100 bp single-end reads. Image analysis was performed in real time by the HiSeq Control Software (HCS) v1.4.8 and Real Time Analysis (RTA) v1.12.4.2, running on the instrument computer. Real-time base calling on the HiSeq instrument computer was performed with the RTA software. Illumina CASAVA1.8 pipeline was used to generate the sequence data. To examine the level of DNA methylation, genomic DNA was extracted using an AllPrep DNA/RNA Mini Kit (Qiagen) and methylated DNA was isolated via binding to the methyl-CpG binding domain of human MBD2 protein coupled beads using the MethylMiner methylated DNA enrichment kit (Life Technologies) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Isolated DNA was used to generate sequencing libraries as for the ChIP-seq experiment with Illumina’s TruSeq DNA Sample Preparation Kit according to manufacturer's instruction and sequenced on the Illumina HiSeq 2000 platform for 49 bp single-end reads. Sequencing analysis was performed as described for the ChIP-seq experiments. Chromatin occupancy of the epigenetic regulator Smchd1 in neural stem cells (NSCs) derived from E14.5 mouse brain was determined by Smchd1 ChIP-seq. Enrichment of H3K4me3 and H3K27me3 in wild type and Smchd1 null NSCs were assessed by H3K4me3 and H3K27me3 ChIP-seq, respectively. DNA methylation in wild type and Smchd1 null NSCs was assessed by MBD-seq. Chromatin occupancy of Ctcf in wild type and Smchd1 null NSCs was determined by by Ctcf ChIP-seq.
