Project description:Human exploration of outer space will inevitably require human reproduction and development in the space environment. Embryonic stem cells (ESCs) are widely employed to study mammalian development and reproduction for their characteristics of indefinite self-renewal and pluripotency. Due to the lack of experimental opportunities and related techniques, studies of the effects of microgravity on the self-renewal and differentiation of ESCs are mostly descriptive, with in-depth mechanistic studies remaining scarce. Here we show in both mouse and human ESCs that simulated microgravity (SMG)-induced stress regulates the self-renewal and pluripotency in a conserved mechanism. Specifically, SMG upregulates the expression of heat shock protein (HSP) and/or HSF1 genes, thereby increasing the expression of core pluripotency factors and the activity of the Wnt pathway. In mESCs, the upregulation of Hsps and Hsf1 genes by SMG increased the activity of the LIF/STAT3 pathway. The upregulation of Tbx3 by increased activity of the Wnt and LIF/STAT3 pathways promotes the differentiation of both mouse and human ESCs to mesendoderm under the SMG environment. Finally, the ATAC-seq and ChIP-seq analysis in this study reveal a minor effect of SMG on the global chromatin accessibility and the overall patterns of the tested histone modifications in mESCs.

Project description:Transcription factor-induced reprogramming of somatic cells to pluripotency is a very inefficient process, probably due to the existence of important epigenetic barriers that are imposed during differentiation and that contribute to preserve cell identity. In an effort to decipher the molecular nature of these barriers, we followed a genome-wide approach, in which we identified macro histone variants (macroH2A) as highly expressed in human somatic cells but downregulated after reprogramming to pluripotency, as well as strongly induced during differentiation. Knock down of macro histone variants in human keratinocytes increased the efficiency of reprogramming to pluripotency, while overexpression had opposite effects. Genome-wide occupancy profiles show that in human keratinocytes macroH2A.1 preferentially occupies genes that are expressed at low levels and are marked with H3K27me3, including pluripotency-related genes and bivalent developmental regulators, at which its presence prevents the regain of H3K4me2 during reprogramming, over imposing an additional layer of repression that preserves cell identity.

Project description:Despite intensive efforts, establishing porcine embryonic stem cells have been challenging. We recently derived mouse expanded potential stem cells (EPSCs) from individual blastomeres by inhibiting the activity of critical molecular pathways that predisposes lineage differentiation in the mouse preimplantation embryo. EPSCs had enriched molecular signatures of blastomeres and possessed the developmental potency to all embryonic and extraembryonic cell lineages. In this study, we report the derivation of porcine EPSC (pEPSC) lines either directly from preimplantation embryos or by reprogramming fetal fibroblasts. Under similar culture conditions, human ESCs and iPSCs can be converted, or somatic cells are directly reprogrammed, to EPSCs (hEPSCs) that display the molecular and functional attributes reminiscent of pEPSCs. Here, we performed ChIP-seq experiments of H3K4me3 and H3K27me3 to characterise the epigenetic signatures of the EPSCs.

Project description:The C4-12/Flag.ERβ cell line which stably expressed Flag.ERβ is used to study ERβ genomic functions without ERα interference. Mapping ERβ binding sites in these cells reveals ERβ unique distribution and motif enrichment patterns. Accompanying our mapping results, nascent RNA profiling is performed on cells at the same treatment time. The combined results allow the identification of ERβ target genes. Gene ontology analysis reveals that ERβ targets are enriched in differentiation, development and apoptosis. Concurrently, E2 treatment suppresses proliferation in these cells. Within ERβ binding sites, while the most prevalent binding motif is the canonical ERE, motifs of known ER interactors are also enriched in ERβ binding sites. Moreover, among enriched binding motifs are those of GFI, REST and EBF1, which are unique to ERβ binding sites in these cells. Further characterization confirms the association between EBF1 and the estrogen receptors, which favors the N-terminal region of the receptor. Furthermore, EBF1 negatively regulates ERs at the protein level. In summary, by studying ERβ genomic functions in our cell model, we confirm the anti-proliferative role of ERβ and discover the novel cross talk of ERβ with EBF1 which has various implications in normal physiology. C4-12/Flag.ERβ cells were treated with 10nM E2 for 1 hour then crosslinked with 1% formaldehyde; EtOH treatment was used as control. Crosslinked samples were processed for ChIP-seq and sequenced with Illumina Genome Analyzer II and aligned to hg18. QuEST was used as the peak-calling software, using default parameters recommended to analyze transcription factor ChIP-seq data. The entire ChIP-seq process was performed once on each sample (Vehicle or E2-treated).

Project description:We demonstrate using conditional mutagenesis that Pbx1, with and without Pbx2+/ sensitization, regulates regional identity and laminar patterning of the developing mouse neocortex in cortical progenitors (Emx1-Cre) and in newly generated neurons (Nex1-Cre). Pbx1/2 mutants have three salient molecular phenotypes of cortical regional and laminar organization: hypoplasia of the frontal cortex, ventral expansion of the dorsomedial cortex, and ventral expansion of Reelin expression in the cortical plate of the frontal cortex, concomitant with an inversion of cortical layering in the rostral cortex. Molecular analyses, including PBX ChIP-seq, provide evidence that PBX promotes frontal cortex identity by repressing genes that promote dorsocaudal fate. Chromatin immunoprecipitation was performed using antibody against Pbx1/2/3/ (sc-888, Santa Cruz). Wild type E12.5 mouse whole cortex was used for the analysis.

Project description:Regulation of gene expression by chromatin modification through methylation of histone lysine residues is a dynamic, reversible process that when deregulated is associated with cancer development. In multiple myeloma, combined inhibition of the histone demethylases JARID1B, UTX and JmjD3 by the small molecule GSK-J4 prevents cellular glutamine utilization leading to amino acids deprivation, activates the integrated stress response via GCN2-dependent ATF4 activation, and induces apoptosis. This response is associated with a profound upregulation of metallothionein genes. Combined with clinical data demonstrating that overexpression of JARID1B is associated with shorter survival in multiple myeloma patients, this study highlights histone demethylases as epigenetic drug targets and places this demethylase inhibitor chemotype as having unique potential relative to established anti-myeloma treatment options. In total there are 7 different samples analyzed and one input control. Treatments are carried out with the demethylase inhibitor (or DMSO as negative control) at 6h and 48h, or with LNA targeting demethylases (or scrambled LNA) at 7 days. A negative control at 0h is included.

Project description:The mammalian TET dioxygenases contribute to global waves of DNA demethylation in the zygote and in primordial germ cells, but their involvement during de novo DNA methylation at peri/post-implantation development is unknown. Here, we show novel physiological functions of Tet1 in the pre-primitive streak stage mouse embryo, where it is expressed not only in the primed-state epiblast, but also in the extra-embryonic ectoderm. In the epiblast, Tet1 contributes to DNA methylation patterning, which indirectly results in dominant transcriptional repression involving a Jumonji-family gene Jmjd8. In the extra-embryonic ectoderm, Tet1 suppresses expression of metabolic genes involved in oxidative phosphorylation. These lineage-specific gene repressive functions, involving distinct modes of regulation by DNA methylation, counteract precocious differentiation of the embryo prior to the onset of gastrulation. Such dysregulation in the absence of Tet1 are surprisingly tolerated in an inbred strain but results in full embryonic lethality in non-inbred mice, thus implicating a complex but essential role of Tet1 in normal gestational development.

Project description:Enhancers are developmentally-controlled transcriptional regulatory regions whose activities are modulated through histone modifications or histone variant deposition. Here, we show by genome-wide mapping that the newly discovered DNA modification 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) is dynamically associated with transcription factor binding to distal regulatory sites during neural differentiation of mouse P19 cells as well as during adipocyte differentiation of mouse 3T3-L1 cells. Functional annotation reveals that regions gaining 5hmC are associated with genes expressed either in neural tissues when P19 cells undergo neural differentiation or in adipose tissue when 3T3-L1 cells undergo adipocyte differentiation. Furthermore, distal regions gaining 5hmC together with H3K4me2 and H3K27ac in P19 cells behave as differentiation-dependent transcriptional enhancers. Identified regions are enriched in motifs for transcription factors regulating specific cell fates like Meis1 in P19 cells and PPARgamma in 3T3-L1 cells. Accordingly, a fraction of hydroxymethylated Meis1 sites were associated with a dynamic engagement of the 5mC hydroxylase Tet1. In addition, kinetic studies of cytosine hydroxymethylation of selected enhancers indicated that DNA hydroxymethylation is an early event of enhancer activation. Hence, acquisition of 5hmC in cell-specific distal regulatory regions may represent a major event of enhancer progression toward an active state and participate in selective activation of tissue-specific genes MEIS1 and H3K27ac genome-wide distributions were determined using ChIP-seq. Cells used in this study are P19.6 mouse embryonal carnicoma cells and P19.6 cells treated for 48 hours with 1M-BM-5M all-trans retinoic acid (RA). ChIP samples were done by SM-CM-)randour A.A. Libraries were prepared and sequenced by the IGBMC sequencing facility (Strasbourg, France) by an Illumina Genome Analyzer II.
