Project description:Cornelia de Lange syndrome (CdLS) is a rare genetic disease associated with cohesinopathy. A novel iPSC line was generated from the CdLS patient carrying a heterozygous missense point-mutation of the NIPBL gene. iPSC lines prepared from the healthy parents and the mutation-corrected isogenic cell lines are used as the respective controls. Upon differentiation into hepatocytes, the patient-derived iPSC demonstrate the capacity to express hepatocyte-specific marker transcripts and the respective proteins, however, the efficiency of differentiation is significantly inferior to those of the respective controls, demonstrated by single-cell RNA sequencing and immune-fluorescent analyses. Global change of transcriptome in the patient-derived iPSC relative to the control cells is associated with altered chromatin accessibility, assessed by RNAseq combined with ATACseq analysis. Differentially down-regulated genes in the patient-derived iPSC, in particular, are those coding for proteins related to neural differentiation and transcription factors, while up-regulated genes contain some of antisense RNA coding genes, pseudo genes and long non-coding RNAs. Some of the differentially regulated genes are consistent with the altered chromatin accessibility and this observation is consistent during hepatocyte differentiation. Thus, the mutation in the NIPBL gene of the CdLS patient could be responsible for defects of differentiation primarily due to alteration of chromatin accessibility.

Project description:Cornelia de Lange syndrome (CdLS) is an autosomal dominant disease mainly caused by mutations in the Nipped-B-like protein (NIPBL) gene resulting in the alteration of the cohesin pathway. Here, we generated human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) from a CdLS patient carrying a mutation in the NIPBL gene, c.5483G>A, and tested CRISPR-Cas based approaches to repair the genetic defect. We applied an efficient and precise method of gene correction through CRISPR-Cas induced homology directed repair (HDR), which allowed the generation of hiPSC clones with regular karyotype and preserved stemness. The efficient and precise gene replacement strategy developed in this study can be extended to the modification of other genomic loci in hiPSCs. Isogenic wild-type and mutated hiPSCs produced with the CRISPR-Cas technology are fundamental CdLS cellular models to study the disease molecular determinants and identifying therapeutic targets.

Project description:In the context of most induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cell reprogramming methods, heterogeneous populations of nonproductive and staggered productive intermediates arise at different reprogramming time points1-11. Despite recent reports claiming substantially increased reprogramming efficiencies using genetically modified donor cells12,13 prospectively isolating distinct reprogramming intermediates remains an important goal to decipher reprogramming mechanisms. Previous attempts to identify surface markers of intermediate cell populations were based on the assumption that during reprogramming the cells progressively lose donor cell identity and gradually acquire iPS cell properties1,2,7,8,10. Here, we report that iPS cell and epithelial markers, such as SSEA1 and EpCAM, respectively, are not predictive of reprogramming during early phases. Instead, in a systematic functional surface marker screen we find that early reprogramming-prone cells express a unique set of surface markers, including CD73, CD49d and CD200 that are absent in fibroblasts and iPS cells. Single cell mass cytometry and prospective isolation show that these distinct intermediates are transient and bridge the gap between donor cell silencing and pluripotency marker acquisition during the early, presumably stochastic reprogramming phase2. Expression profiling revealed that the transcriptional regulators Nr0b1 and Etv5 are specifically expressed in this early reprogramming state, preceding activation of key pluripotency regulators such as Rex1, Dppa2, Nanog and Sox2. Both factors are required for the generation of the early intermediate state and fully reprogrammed iPS cells, and thus mark some of the earliest known regulators of iPS cell induction. Our study shows an ordered sequence of transitions during the earliest steps of iPS cell reprogramming that deconvolutes the first steps in a hierarchical series of events that lead to pluripotency acquisition. Samples for poised (CD73+ or CD49d+) and non-poised (CD73-) reprogramming samples were FACS sorted 6 and 9 days after induction of Klf4, Oct4, Sox2 and cMyc in Rosa-rtTA +/- mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs). 'Total' populations are expression analyses for unsorted populations analyzed at the same time points. Control populations were also sampled: mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs), partially reprogrammed cells (SC4) and mouse embryonic stem cell (ESC).

Project description:Comparison of human foreskin fibroblasts with different guide RNA compositions undergoing CRISPRa-mediated reprogramming. Cell samples have been collected at days 4, 8 and 12 of pluripotency induction. Each time point has three conditions with either (1) pluripotent reprogramming factor promoter targeting guides (OMKSL), (2) EEA-motif targeting guides (36bp), or reprorgamming factor promoter and EEA-motif targeting guides (OMKSL+36bp). Control samples have been collected from non-treated foreskin fibroblasts.

Project description:CHD8, encoding Chromodomain helicase DNA binding protein 8, is a top autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) risk gene. To better understanding the molecular links between CHD8 functions and ASD, we have applied the CRISPR/Cas9 technology to knockout one copy of CHD8 in induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) to mimic the loss of function status that would exist in the developing human embryo prior to neuronal differentiation. Transcriptome profiling (RNA-seq) in neural progenitors and early differentiating neurons revealed that CHD8 hemizygosity (CHD8+/-) affected the expression of several thousands of genes, enriched for functions of neural development, β-catenin/Wnt signaling, extracellular matrix, and skeletal system development. Moreover, CHD8 regulates multiple genes implicated in ASD, schizophrenia and genes associated with brain volume. iPSCs derived from a healthy subject were transduced with CRISPR/Cas9 vectors with single guide RNA sequences to target the N-terminal of CHD8 protein to generate truncated mutation seach of the two target sequences. Two clones, one with a 2-bp (KO1) and the other with a 10-bp (KO2) heterozygous deletion were found.The CHD8+/- iPSC lines were used to generate NPCs and early differentiating neurons for RNA-seq analysis, together with samples prepared from the parental clones, for a total of 8 samples (two biological replicates of wild-type (WT) and CHD8+/- at two neurodevelopmental stages).

Project description:Aging and its physiological manifestations have been correlated with adult stem cell exhaustion and a failure to maintain tissue homeostasis1-10. Since multiple morphological cellular defects are associated with aging-related disorders, we hypothesized that late onset disorders might be linked to adult stem cell abnormalities compromising cellular function over time. Our work shows that a dominant G2019S mutation in the human LRRK2 gene, which is associated with central nervous system disorders, including Parkinson’s disease, the second most prevalent neurodegenerative disease in the aging population, causes alterations in neural stem cell homeostasis in aging-related cellular contexts. They include disruption of the nuclear architecture, deficiencies in clonal expansion and alterations in neural differentiation assays as well as an increased susceptibility to proteasomal stress. These phenotypic changes are dependent on differential kinase activity manifested during cellular passaging. Our studies might open new venues for studying the influence of aging in neural stem cell dependent processes, such as cognitive impairments, in the degenerating diseased brain.

Project description:One critical task in pluripotent reprogramming is to erase the somatic transcriptional program of starting cells. No strategy or theory exists for achieving erasure of somatic gene expression memory. Here, we present a proof-of-principle strategy in which reprogramming to pluripotency is facilitated by small molecules that erase somatic cell transcription memory. We show that mild chemical targeting of the acetyllysine-binding pockets of the BET bromodomains, the transcriptional bookmarking domains, robustly enhances reprogramming. Furthermore, we show that chemical targeting of the transcriptional bookmarking BET bromodomains dramatically downregulates specific somatic gene expression programs in both naïve and reprogramming fibroblasts. Chemical blocking of the BET bromodomains also resulted in loss of fibroblast morphology early in reprograming. In this study, we experimentally demonstrate a concept for cell fate conversion: facilitating the conversion by chemically targeting the transcriptional bookmarking BET bromodomains responsible for transcriptional memory. human BJ cells were treated with JQ1 at 50 nM for 48 hours. Differential expression was compared with DMSO treatment. The same treatments and comparsion were conducted for reprogramming BJ cells, which were transduced with OCT4, SOX2, and KLF4. JQ1iPSC5 is a iPSC (induced pluripotent stem cell) line generated in this study using small molecules JQ1.
