The mTORC1-eIF4F axis controls paused pluripotency

ABSTRACT: Mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs) can self-renew indefinitely and maintain pluripotency. Inhibition of mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) by the kinase inhibitor INK128 is known to induce paused pluripotency in mESCs cultured with traditional serum/LIF medium (SL), but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. In this study, we demonstrate that mTOR complex 1 (mTORC1) but not complex 2 (mTORC2) mediates mTOR-inhibition induced paused pluripotency in cells grown in both SL and 2iL medium (GSK3- and MEK-inhibitors and LIF). We also show that mTORC1 regulates self-renewal in both conditions mainly through eIF4F-mediated translation initiation that targets mRNAs of both cytosolic and mitochondrial ribosome subunits. Moreover, inhibition of mitochondrial translation is sufficient to induce paused pluripotency. Interestingly, eIF4F also regulates maintenance of pluripotency in an mTORC1-independent but MEK/ERK-dependent manner in SL, indicating that translation of pluripotency genes is controlled differently in SL and 2iL. Our study reveals a detailed picture of how mTOR governs self-renewal in mESCs and uncovers a context-dependent function of eIF4F in pluripotency regulation.

mTORC1 and CK2 coordinate ternary and eIF4F complex assembly

Project description:mRNA translation plays a major role in homeostasis, whereas its dysregulation underpins a variety of pathological states including cancer, metabolic syndrome and neurological disorders. Ternary complex (TC) and eIF4F complex assembly are two major rate-limiting steps in translation initiation that are thought to be regulated by eIF2α phosphorylation, and the mTOR/4E-BP pathway, respectively2. However, how TC and eIF4F assembly are coordinated remains largely unknown. Using polysome-profiling, we show that on a genome-wide scale mTOR suppresses translation of mRNAs, which are translationally activated under short-term ER stress when TC recycling is attenuated by eIF2α phosphorylation. During acute nutrient or growth factor stimulation, mTORC1 induces eIF2β phosphorylation, which increases recruitment of NCK1 to eIF2, decreases eIF2α phosphorylation and bolsters TC recycling. Accordingly, eIF2β appears to act as a previously unidentified mediator of mTORC1 on protein synthesis and proliferation. In addition, we demonstrate a formerly undocumented role for CK2 in regulation of translation initiation, whereby CK2 stimulates phosphorylation of eIF2β and simultaneously bolsters eIF4F complex assembly via the mTORC1/4E-BP pathway. These findings imply a previously unrecognized mode of translation regulation whereby mTORC1 and CK2 coordinate TC and eIF4F complex assembly to stimulate cell proliferation.

An mTORC1-CK2 axis controls starvation induced ER-phagy via FAM134C

Project description:The degradation of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) via selective autophagy is driven by the ER-phagy receptors that facilitate the incorporation of ER-fragments into nascent autophagosomes. How these receptors are regulated, in response to ER-phagy-inducing stimuluses, is largely unknown. Here we propose that starvation, as well as mTOR inhibition, triggers ER-phagy primarily through the activation of the ER-phagy receptor FAM134C. In physiological, nutrient reach, conditions FAM134C is phosphorylated by the Casein kinase 2 (CK2) protein at specific residues negatively affecting FAM134C interaction with the LC3 proteins, thereby preventing ER-phagy. Pharmacological or starvation-induced mTORC1 inhibition limits phosphorylation of FAM134C by CK2, hence promoting FAM134C activation and ER-phagy. Moreover, inhibition of CK2 or the expression of a phospho-mutant FAM134C protein is sufficient to stimulate ER-phagy. Conversely, starvation induced ER-phagy is inhibited in cells and mice that lack FAM134C or expressing a phospho-mimetic FAM134C protein. Overall, these data describe a new mechanism regulating ER-phagy and provides an example of cargo selectivity mechanism during starvation induced autophagy.

Wnt / Beta-Catenin signalling controls epiblast self-organization in naive and paused states of pluripotency

Project description:ES cells grown in growth factor depleted matrigel could recapitulate the morphogenesis of the epiblast from E4.5 to E5.5. This process is characterized with the establishment of epithelial polarity. We used Next-generation sequencing (NGS) technique to analyze the transcriptional change of ES cells grown in 3D culture conditions in the presence of DMSO, 2i, CH or FGF2/Activin. The comparison of transcriptom between different conditions helps us to understand the molecular mechanism underlying morphogenesis of the epiblast. We found naïve pluripotency factors are kept in a high level in 2i and CH treatment in comparison with DMSO and FGF2/Activin treatment. We identified 5 naïve pluripotency factors which may have potential regulatory function in epithelial polarity. To further analyze these 5 pluripotency factors, we found Esrrb is the core transcriptional factor countering epithelial polarity. We also used Next-generation sequencing (NGS) technique to analyze the transcriptional change of Esrrb delta/delta (+4OHT) and control Esrrb fl/fl (-4OHT) ES cells in the presence of CH. Esrrb delta/delta (+4OHT) cell grown in 3D become polarized at 24 hours, whereas the control Esrrb fl/fl (-4OHT) ES cells are still non-polarized. By analyzing the RNA-Seq data, we found the enrichment of MAPK, Apoptosis, Focal adhesion and Tight junction KEGG pathways in Esrrb delta/delta compared to control Esrrb fl/fl cells. This result suggests the essential function of Esrrb in regulating epithelial polarity.
