Transcription profiling by array of mouse promylocyte cell line induced to differentiate over four days

ABSTRACT: The Mouse Promylocyte (MPRO) cell line was induced to differentiate over four days during which time MYC expression decreases. MYC is required for rDNA transcription; by looking at global gene expression under these conditions, our aim was to correlate the expression of Pol I related/specific genes with that of MYC as well as contrast to those genes specific to Pol II and III transcription.

Project description:During commitment of a multipotent stem or progenitor cell to a particular lineage, a large number of genes alter their expression in a coordinated manner orchestrated by the gene regulatory network (GRN). The constraints imposed by the GRN govern how cells move in the high-dimensional gene expression state space and can be understood as a dynamical system in which phenotypic cell states (cell types) are attractors that stabilize the cell-type characteristic gene expression pattern against molecular noise. Despite insights from various theoretical models, it remains elusive how multipotent cells, when committing to a specific lineage, exit their attractor and enter a new distinct attractor. Here we show, using single-cell resolution monitoring of transcript patterns by qPCR that commitment of multipotent blood progenitor cells to either the erythroid or the myeloid lineage is preceded by a destabilization of the progenitorsâ?? attractor state and a slowing-down of relaxation of cells from outlier states, indicating a critical state transition (â??tipping pointâ??). The high-dimensionality of the system (many genes) and availability of individual trajectories of a large ensemble of systems (many cells) affords a novel signature for critical transition which can be predicted from theory: Decrease of correlation between cells and concomitant increase of correlation between genes as the cell population approaches the tipping point. Consistent with a destabilizing bifurcation that simultaneously opens access to the erythroid and myeloid attractors, differentiation signal for either lineage caused some cells to commit to the â??wrongâ?? fate; moreover providing conflicting signals resulted in a delayed decision at the bifurcation point that however was ultimately resolved by commitment to one fate. These results suggest that the theoretical framework of â??early-warning signsâ?? and critical transitions can be applied to ensembles of high-dimensional systems, offering a formal tool for analyzing single-cell omics data beyond current descriptive computational pattern recognition. Mouse blood progenitor cells (EML cell line) was exposed to EPO, IL-3/GM-CSF or a mixture of both cytokines and gene expression change was measured in sorted subpopulations wrt Sca1 progenitor surface marker expression. In total, there was 4 conditions (including control), three time points (including d0) and 20 samples (10 samples in duplicates) were analyzed. Two independent experiments were performed for each condition. The untreated progenitor cell population was used as control.
