Project description:Pluripotency, the capacity of embryo-derived stem cells to generate all tissues in the organism, can be induced in somatic cells by nuclear transfer into oocyte, fusion with embryonic stem cells, and for male germ cells by cell culture alone. Recently, murine fibroblasts have been reprogrammed directly to pluripotency by ectopic expression of four transcription factors (Oct4, Sox2, Klf4, and Myc) to yield induced Pluripotent Stem (iPS) cells. Using the same four factors, we have derived iPS cells from human embryonic stem cell-derived fibroblasts, primary human fetal cells, and diverse cells of neonatal and adult human origin. The human iPS cells manifest the colony morphology, gene expression patterns, and epigenetic characteristics of human Embryonic Stem (hES) cells, and form well-differentiated teratomas in immune-deficient mice. These data demonstrate that defined factors can reprogram human cells to pluripotency, and establish a method whereby patient-specific cells might be established in culture.

Project description:Successful reprogramming of differentiated human somatic cells into a pluripotent state would allow creation of patient- and disease-specific stem cells. We previously reported generation of induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells, capable of germline transmission, from mouse somatic cells by transduction of four defined transcription factors. Here, we demonstrate the generation of iPS cells from adult human dermal fibroblasts with the same four factors: Oct3/4, Sox2, Klf4, and c-Myc. Human iPS cells were expandable and similar to human embryonic stem (ES) cells in morphology, proliferation, surface antigens, gene expression, DNA methylation status of pluripotent cell-specific genes, and telomerase activity. Furthermore, these cells could differentiate into cell types of the three germ layers in vitro and in teratomas. These findings demonstrate that iPS cells can be generated from adult human fibroblasts. Keywords: cell type comparison

Project description:Mouse and human stem cells with features similar to those of embryonic stem cells have been derived from testicular cells. Although pluripotent stem cells have been obtained from defined germline stem cells (GSCs) of mouse neonatal testis, only multipotent stem cells have been obtained so far from defined cells of mouse adult testis. In this study we describe a robust and reproducible protocol for obtaining germline-derived pluripotent stem (gPS) cells from adult unipotent GSCs. Pluripotency of gPS cells was confirmed by in vitro and in vivo differentiation, including germ cell contribution and transmission. As determined by clonal analyses gPS cells indeed originate from unipotent GSCs. We propose that the conversion process requires a GSC culture microenvironment that depends on the initial number of plated GSCs and the length of culture time. Nine samples were analyzed.

Project description:In regenerative medicine, histocompatibility of pluripotent stem cells is required to solve the problem of immunorejection after therapeutic transplantation. In this study, we show that autologous germline stem cells (GSCs), often called spermatogonial stem cells, could be derived by testis biopsy from individual mice and that GSCs subsequently could be dedifferentiated into autologous germline-derived pluripotent stem (gPS) cells. The establishment of GSCs by testicular biopsy in the mouse model can prove the principle of human clinical application to derive autologous GSCs to generate patient-specific pluripotent cells for regenerative medicine. For transcriptome profiling, 400 ng of total DNA-free RNA was used as input for labelled cRNA synthesis (Illumina TotalPrep RNA Amplification Kit - Ambion) following the manufacturer's instructions (IVT: 12h). Quality-checked cRNA samples were hybridized as biological or technical duplicates for 18 h onto mouse-8 v2 expression BeadChips (Illumina), washed, stained, and scanned following guidelines and using materials / instrumentation supplied / suggested by the manufacturer 13 samples were analyzed, GSC1: Mouse Germ Stem Cells OG2, line 1 (1 replicate); GSC2: Mouse Germ Stem Cells OG2, line 2 (1 replicate); GSC3: Mouse Germ Stem Cells OG2, line 3 (1 replicate); GSCr1: Mouse Germ Stem Cells OG2-ROSA, line 1 (1 replicate); GSCr2: Mouse Germ Stem Cells OG2-ROSA, line 2 (2 replicate); GSCr3: Mouse Germ Stem Cells OG2-ROSA, line 3 (1 replicate); ESC: Mouse Embryonic Stem Cells (duplicate) gPS1: Mouse clonal germ Pluripotent Stem cells from OG2, line 1, (1 replicate); gPS2: Mouse clonal germ Pluripotent Stem cells from OG2, line 2, (1 replicate); gPS3: Mouse clonal germ Pluripotent Stem cells from OG2, line 3, (1 replicate); gPSr1: Mouse clonal germ Pluripotent Stem cells from OG2-ROSA, line 1, (1 replicate); gPSr2: Mouse clonal germ Pluripotent Stem cells from OG2-ROSA, line 2, (1 replicate); gPSr3: Mouse clonal germ Pluripotent Stem cells from OG2-ROSA, line 3, (1 replicate).

Project description:Teratoma formation is the gold standard assay for testing the capacity of human stem cells to differentiate into all embryonic germ layers. Although widely used, little effort has been made to transform this qualitative assay into a quantitative one. Using gene expression data from a wide variety of cells, we created a gene scorecard representing tissues from all three germ layers as well as an extraembryonic tissue. A calculated grade using this gene list successfully distinguishes pluripotent stem cell-initiated teratomas from malignant tumors, thereby translating cell potency into a quantitative measure. This new methodology, named TeratoScore, thus assesses the pluripotency of human cells, and is easily performed using an open-source code. The new teratoma database also allowed us to examine the gene expression differences between tumors with a diploid karyotype and those initiated by aneuploid cells. We found that while teratomas originating from aneuploid cells pass the TeratoScore benchmark for pluripotency, they exhibit aberrant gene expression congruent with human chromosomal syndromes (such as Down syndrome). This gene expression signature is significantly different from that of teratomas originating from diploid cells, particularly in central nervous system-specific genes, suggesting aberrant teratomas may be beneficial for in vivo disease modeling. Teratoma formation followed by TeratoScore analysis can rapidly assess cell potency and allows comparison between different pluripotent cell lines. Total RNA was extracted from hPSC (diploid or aneuploid)-derived teratomas using RNeasy mini kit (Qiagen), according to the manufacture instruction. RNA was subjected to Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 microarray platform (Affymetrix); washing and scanning were performed according to the manufacturer’s protocol

Project description:Primordial germ cell (PGC) is the foundation of the germline which become gametes and transmit genetic and epigenetic information to the next generation. The segregation of germline and soma is critical yet well-characterized in human during embryonic development due to ethical consideration. Here we discover that human TET1 (Ten-eleven translocation 1) acts as a safety check of germline cell fate. Using CRISPR/Cas9 to knock-out TET1 catalytic domain, we demonstrate extremely low hPGCLC (hPGC-like cell) competency of undifferentiated pluripotent stem cell lines. We plot whole-genome 5’hydroxymethylation (5hmC) profiles to elucidate global as well as locus-specific 5hmC enrichment in hPGCLCs, indicating the DNA oxygenase activity of TET1 is active during hPGCLC differentiation.
