BAF250B-associated SWI/SNF chromatin-remodeling complex is required to maintain undifferentiated mouse ES cells

ABSTRACT: We used BAF250b-/- ES cells, two independently derived clones, at 18 and 72 hr in culture and compared them with parental cell line (wild-type) at the same time in culture (two replications each). Total RNAs were extracted using Trizol (Invitrogen) according to manufacturer protocol. 2.5 ug of total RNA samples were labeled with Cy3-CTP using a Low RNA Input Fluorescent Linear Amplification Kit (Agilent). A reference target (Cy5-CTP-labeled) was prepared from the Universal Mouse Reference RNA (Stratagene). Labeled targets were purified using an RNeasy Mini Kit (Qiagen) according to the Agilent's protocol, quantitated by a NanoDrop scanning spectrophotometer (NanoDrop Technologies), and hybridized to the NIA Mouse 44K Microarray v2.2 (whole genome 60-mer oligo; manufactured by Agilent Technologies, #014117) (Carter et al. 2005) according to the Agilent protocol (G4140-90030; Agilent 60-mer oligo microarray processing protocol - SSC Wash, v1.0). All hybridizations were carried out in the two color protocol by combining one Cy3-CTP-labeled experimental target and Cy5-CTP-labeled reference target. Microarrays were scanned on an Agilent DNA Microarray Scanner, using standard settings, including automatic PMT adjustment. Keywords: genetic modification design,time series design Biological replications were performed on BAF250b-/- ES cells with their parental line (wild-type) at 18 and 72 hrs after passaging, as well as with 12 other pluripotent cells (ES and EG cells from strains C57BL/6 and 129 data from Sharova et al., 2007) using whole-genome mouse microarrays (NIA 44k V2.2 with 60-mer synthesized oligos).

Whether SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complexes play roles in embryonic stem (ES) cells remains unknown. Here we show that SWI/SNF complexes are present in mouse ES cells, and their composition is dynamically regulated upon induction of ES cell differentiation. For example, the SWI/SNF purified from undifferentiated ES cells contains a high level of BAF155 and a low level of BAF170 (both of which are homologs of yeast SWI3 protein), whereas that from differentiated cells contains nearly equal amo ...[more]

Project description:Mammalian oogenesis is a complex mechanism entailing the maturation of primordial follicles into preovulatory follicles followed by the release of antral oocytes. In the ovary, the antral compartment consists of two populations of oocytes whose main difference regards the ability to resume meiosis and to develop, after the egg-sperm fusion, until the blastocyst stage. Still inexplicably, the antral oocytes distinguishable as Surrounded Nucleolus (SN; 70% of the antral oocytes population) are able to develop to the blastocyst stage, while those showing a Not Surrounded Nucleolus (NSN) arrest at the two-cell stage. RNA labeling and hybridization on microarray was done independently for SN and NSN oocytes with 2 replications. Two sets of 50 antral oocytes were collected in M2 medium and then were labelled with Cy3-CTP. Fluorescently labelled microarray targets were prepared using a Low RNA Input Fluorescent Linear Amplification Kit (Agilent) with 2-round amplification. Cy5-CTP-labeled reference target was produced from mixture of Stratagene Universal Mouse Reference RNA and MC1 cell RNA. Targets were purified using an RNeasy Mini Kit (Qiagen), and then quantified on a NanoDrop scanning spectrophotometer (NanoDrop Technologies). Target cRNA was hybridized to the NIA Mouse 44K Microarray v3.0 (whole genome 60-mer oligo arrays, Agilent Technology, design ID 015087) according to manufacturers protocol (Two-Color Microarray-Based Gene Expression Analysis Protocol, Product # G4140-90050, Version 5.0.1). Slides were scanned with an Agilent DNA Microarray Scanner (model G2505-64120) at 100% and 10% PMT in both channels (except for the two oocyte Samples which were only scanned once each), with a scan resolution of 5um. All hybridizations compared one Cy3-CTP-labeled experimental target to the single Cy5-CTP-labeled reference target which was used for normalization. In the final analysis, we made a cutoff of 2.0 for the processed data (i.e., if value<2.0, it is set as 2.0) to minimize the noises from 2-round linear amplifications.

Project description:The gold standard for examining pluripotency of stem cells is to see whether cells can contribute to entire body of animals. Here we show that the increased frequency of Zscan4 activation in mouse ES cells not only enhances, but also maintains their developmental potency in long-term cell culture. As the potency increases, even a whole animal can be produced from a single ES cell injected into 4N blastocyst at unusually high success rate. Although Zscan4-activated cells express genes that are also expressed in 2-cell stage mouse embryos, transiently Zscan4-activated state of ES cells is not associated with the high potency of ES cells. It is thus concluded that ES cells acquire higher potency by going through transient Zscan4 activation state more frequently than the regular state. Taken together, our results indicate that frequent activation of Zscan4 can rejuvenate pluripotent stem cells. MC1 ES cells (for pZscan4-Emerald transfection) and R26R6 ES cells (for pZscan4-Cre ERT2 transfection) were grown on gelatin in 6-well plate, 5x10^5cells in suspension were transfected with 1ug of linearized pZscan4-Emerald vector or pZscan4-Cre ERT2 vector using Effectene (QIAGEN) according manufacturer protocol, and plated in gelatin coated 100 mm dishes. Cells were selected with 5 ug/ml blasticidin, colonies were picked on the 8th day, expanded and frozen for further analysis. DNA microarray analysis of pZscan4-Emerald cells was carried out as described. In brief, universal Mouse Reference RNA (Stratagene) were labeled with Cy5-dye, mixed with Cy3-labeled samples, and used for hybridization on the NIA Mouse 44K Microarray v2.2 (manufactured by Agilent Technologies #014117). The intensity of each gene feature was extracted from scanned microarray images using Feature Extraction 9.5.1.1 software (Agilent Technologies). Microarray data analyses were carried out by using an application developed in-house to perform ANOVA and other analyses (NIA Array Analysis software; http://lgsun.grc.nia.nih.gov)

Project description:Oct4 is an essential regulator of embryonic stem (ES) cell pluripotency in vivo and in vitro, as well as a key mediator of the reprogramming of somatic cells to form induced pluriopotent stem (iPS) cells. It is not known whether activation and/or repression of specific genes by Oct4 is relevant to these functions. Here we show that fusion proteins containing the coding sequence of Oct4 or Xlpou91 (the Xenopus homologue of Oct4) fused to activating regions, but not those fused to repressing regions, behave as Oct4, suppressing differentiation and promoting maintenance of undifferentiated phenotypes in vivo and in vitro. An Oct4 activation domain fusion supported ES cell self-renewal in vitro at lower concentrations than required for Oct4 while alleviating the ordinary requirement for the cytokine LIF. At still lower levels of the fusion, LIF-dependence was restored. We conclude that the necessary and sufficient function of Oct4 in promoting pluripotency is to activate specific target genes. Two independent clones from each cell line were used as biological replications. Cy3-CTP-labelled sample targets were prepared from 2.5 ?g of total RNA using the Low RNA Input Fluorescent Linear Amplification Kit (Agilent). Cy5-CTP-labelled reference target was produced from 2.5 ?g of Stratagene Universal Mouse Reference RNA. Purified target RNA were hybridized to the NIA Mouse 44K Microarray v3.0 (whole genome 60-mer oligo arrays, Agilent Technology, design ID 015087) (Carter et al., 2005) according to the manufacturer's protocol (Two-Colour Microarray-Based Gene Expression Analysis Protocol, Version 5.0.1). Slides were scanned with an Agilent DNA Microarray Scanner (model G2505-64120) at 100% PMT for the Cy3 channel and 10% PMT for the Cy5 channel with a scan resolution of 5µm. Data was analyzed using NIA Array Analysis (Sharov et al., 2005) using standard statistical conditions (FDR<0.05, 2-fold expression levels change) to unveil genes with changes in expression levels between the samples and controls.

Project description:AGEMAP is an initiative of the National Institute on Aging (NIA) designed to study the aging process on mice with Caloric Restriction (CR) versus Ad Libitum (AL) diet. The aim of the AGEMAP project is to provide a valuable source of information about genetic influences involved in aging of the major organ systems. A total of 67 mice (C57BL/6) were sacrificed. Both male and female mice were divided in 7 categories based on the diet and the age. Four categories in ad libitum (1 month, 6 month,16 month and 24 month) and three categories in caloric restriction (6 month, 16 month and 24 month). In the current study we focused on gonads, using microarray hybridization (Agilent platform 44K array) to identify gene expression changes age-associated CR-associated, between young versus old mice at different time points. Keywords: development or differentiation design,replicate design,stimulus or stress design,time series design The experiment was done as time-course type. Four time points for mice on ad libitum diet (1 month, 6 month, 16 month and 24 month), and three time points on caloric restriction diet. For each time point we used two biological replicates. We analyzed gene expression patterns in ovaries and testes sampled from 1-, 6-, 16-, and 24-month-old C57BL/6 mice fed on AL and CR diets (Figure 1A and D). Mice were kept on an AL diet until 14 weeks of age and then split into AL and CR gonads . Two individual animals for each condition were used for the microarray studies. We examined a total of 28 samples (two AL ovaries at each of 1, 6, 16, and 24 months; two CR ovaries at 6, 16, and 24 months; two AL testes at 1, 6, 16, and 24 months; and two CR testes at 6, 16, and 24 months). These 28 samples were hybridized on whole-genome oligonucleotide microarrays bearing approximately 44,000 probes, representing 25,585 nonredundant genes with gene symbols (Additional file 1). The same RNA samples were used for quantitative reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR)

Project description:We present a microarray experiment with the same tet-inducible system but with multiple time points within 24 hr to capture early responses to Oct4 suppression. These data were analyzed together with published genome-wide ChIP data. We found that most tentative target genes (TTG) of Oct4 in ES cells were activated by Oct4 and only a few genes were suppressed. The same method was then applied to find target genes of Sox2 and Nanog based mostly on previously published data. Because the interaction between Oct4, Sox2, and Nanog is supported by immunoprecipitation, functional analysis, and co-localization of binding sites, we explored the relationships between their target genes. Keywords: time series design We used ZHBTc4 ES cells with a Tet-inducible Oct4 transgene. Cells were cultured for 2 passages on gelatin-coated plates in order to remove feeder cells and then transferred to gelatin-coated 6-well plates at the density of 1-2x105 cells/well and cultured in complete ES medium. Tetrocycline (TC) was added at 24 hr after cell plating, and then cells were harvested at 0hr (before adding TC), 3 hr, 6 hr, 12 hr, and 24 hr (2 replications each). RNA samples for later time points (24, 48, 72, 96, and 120 hr) were obtained from our earlier experiment with 3 replications. Two Nanog over-expressing clones were tested: (1) integrated transgene in MG1.19 parental cell line and (2) episomal transgene in EBRTcH3 parental line. EBRTcH3 and MG1.19 ESC lines were kind gifts of Dr. Hitoshi Niwa (RIKEN Center for Developmental Biology, Kobe, Japan). Both transgenic and parental cell lines were cultured for 2 passages on gelatin-coated plates and then transferred to gelatin-coated 6-well plates at the density of 1-2x105 cells/well and cultured for 3 days in 3 different conditions: (1) complete ES medium (see above); (2) complete medium without LIF, and (3) complete medium with 1 uM RA. Cells were cultured at 37 0C and 5% CO2 condition and the culture medium was changed daily. Over-expression of Nanog was evaluated by PCR. Total RNAs were extracted using TrizolTM (Invitrogen, USA) and Phase lock gelTM columns (Eppendorf/Brinkman) according to the manufacturer???s protocol. Total RNAs were precipitated with isopropanol, washed with 70% ethanol, and dissolved in DEPC-treated H2O. 2.5 ug of total RNA samples were labeled with Cy3-CTP using a Low RNA Input Fluorescent Linear Amplification Kit (Agilent, USA). A reference target (Cy5-CTP-labeled) was prepared from the Universal Mouse Reference (UMR) RNA (Stratagene, USA).
