Tip60 complex promotes expression of a differentiation factor to regulate germline differentiation in female Drosophila

ABSTRACT: Germline stem cells (GSCs) self-renew and differentiate to sustain a continuous production of gametes. In the female Drosophila germ line, two differentiation factors, bag of marbles (bam) and benign gonial cell neoplasm (bgcn), work in concert in the stem cell daughter to promote the generation of eggs. In GSCs, bam transcription is repressed by signaling from the niche and is activated in stem cell daughters. In contrast, bgcn is transcribed in both the GSCs and stem cell daughters, but little is known about how bgcn is transcriptionally modulated. Here, we find that the conserved protein Nipped_A acts through the Tat interactive protein 60kDa (Tip60) Histone acetyl transferase (HAT) complex in the germ line to promote GSC differentiation. We find that Nipped_A is required for efficient exit from the gap phase 2 (G2) of cell cycle of the GSC daughter and for expression of differentiation factor bgcn. Loss of Nipped_A results in accumulation of GSC daughters. Forced expression of bgcn, in Nipped_A germline-depleted ovaries rescues this differentiation defect. Together, our results indicate that Tip60 complex coordinates cell cycle progression and expression of bgcn to help drive GSC daughters toward a differentiation program.

Transcription profiling of Drosophila ovaries from bam mutant and stwl bam double mutant females

Project description:Abstract: During Drosophila oogenesis, germline stem cell (GSC) identity is maintained largely by preventing the expression of factors that promote differentiation. This is accomplished via the activity of several genes acting either in the GSC or its niche. The translational repressors, Nanos and Pumilio, act in GSCs to prevent differentiation, likely by inhibiting translation of early differentiation factors, while niche signals prevent differentiation by silencing transcription of the differentiation factor Bam. We have found that the DNA-associated protein Stonewall (Stwl) is also required for GSC maintenance. stwl is required cell-autonomously; clones of stwl- germ cells were lost by differentiation, and ectopic Stwl caused an expansion of GSCs. stwl mutants acted as Suppressors of Variegation, indicating stwl normally acts in chromatin-dependent gene repression. In contrast to several previously described GSC maintenance factors, Stwl likely functions epigenetically to prevent GSC differentiation. Stwl-dependent transcriptional repression does not target bam, but rather Stwl represses the expression of many genes, including those that may be targeted by Nanos/Pumilio translational inhibition. Experiment Overall Design: Genetic variation comparison between germ cells of Drosophila ovaries from bam mutant and stwl bam double mutant females. Six total samples were analyzed, with each genotype performed in triplicates.

Chromatin and gene expression changes during female Drosophila germline stem cell development.

Project description:The maintenance and differentiation of highly potent animal stem cells generates an epigenetic cycle that underlies development. Drosophila female germline stem cells (GSC) produce cystoblast daughters that differentiate into nurse cells and oocytes. Developmental chromatin analysis profiling the differentiation of GSCs into cystoblasts and NCs of increasing ploidy shows that cystoblasts start developing by forming heterochromatin while in a transient syncytial state, the germline cyst, reminiscent of early embryonic cells. The open GSC chromatin state is further restricted by Polycomb repression of targets that include testis expressed genes briefly active in early female germ cells. Like other highly potent stem cells, GSC metabolism is reprogrammed and Myc-dependent growth is upregulated by altering mitochondrial membrane transport, gluconeogenesis and other processes. Thus, the animal generational cycle comprises similar but distinct maternal and zygotic stem cell epigenetic cycles. We propose that the pluripotent stem cell state and daughter cell differentiation were shaped by the pressure to resist transposon activity over evolutionary time scales. In this GEO submission, we present data and analyses pertaining to H3K27ac, H3K27me3, and H3K9me3 ChIPseq, ATACseq, and RNAseq of Germline Stem Cells (GSCs) and Nurse Cells (NCs) from Drosophila melanogaster ovaries.

Gene expression profiling of core glioma stem cells: a novel glioblastoma cell population with diminished antigen presentation

Project description:Using induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) technology, we reprogrammed GBM derived cells (GBM-DCs) into embryonic-like cells termed as induced core-GSCs (ic-GSCs). The aim of this experiment was to characterize the transcriptomic profile of ic-GSCs using RNA-seq. For this experiment, we selected three biological replicates of GBM-DCs (GBM-DC1, GBM-DC2 and GBM-DC3) and three independent clonal lines of ic-GSCs (ic-GSC#1, ic-GSC#3 and ic-GSC#7).

Transforming growth factor β (TGFβ) and BMP7 regulate glioblastoma stem cells differentiation status

Project description:Glioblastoma stem cells (GSCs) fate is controlled by environmental cues, among which cytokines play a crucial role. The transforming growth factor β (TGFβ) family signaling pathways controls GSCs. On one hand, TGFβ promotes cell proliferation in GBM, it induces the expression of platelet-derived growth factor-B (PDGFB). Moreover, TGFβ, via its signaling mediators Smad2/3, induces the expression of the cytokine leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) and Sox4, which in turn enhances the expression of the stem cell transcription factor Sox2; this increases the self-renewal capacity of the GSCs and their stemness characteristics, and enhances the GSC tumor-initiating potential. On the other hand, Bone morphogenic proteins (BMPs) are known to promote GSC differentiation towards the astrocytic phenotype. To further understand which genes are regulated by TGFβ and BMP7 in GSCs we performed a microarray in the Affymetrix HTA2 platform in three different glioblastoma cell line, U2987, and two patient-derived glioblastoma stem cells, U3031MG and U3034MG, in the presence or absence of 5 ng/ml of TGFβ or 30 ng/ml BMP7 for 24 h, three biological replicates per condition.

Gene expression data of GBM146 and GBM157 at day0, 7, 30 after serum exposure

Project description:Glioblastoma (GBM) is a lethal brain cancer composed of heterogeneous cellular populations including glioma stem cells (GSCs) and their progeny differentiated non-stem glioma cells (NSGCs). Although accumulating evidence points out the significance of GSCs for tumour initiation and propagation, the roles of NSGCs remain elusive. Here we demonstrate that, when patient-derived GSCs in GBM tumours undergo differentiation with diminished telomerase activity and shortened telomeres, they subsequently become senescent phenotype, thereby secreting angiogenesis-related proteins, including vascular endothelial growth factors. Interestingly, these secreted factors from senescent NSGCs promote proliferation of human umbilical vein endothelial cells and tumorigenic potentials of GSCs in immunocompromised mice. These experimental data are likely clinically-relevant, since immunohistochemistry of both patient tumours of GBM and the patient GSC-derived mouse xenografted tumours detected tumour cells that express a set of markers for the senescence phenotype. Collectively, our data suggest that the inter-cellular signals from senescent NSGCs promote GBM tumour angiogenesis thereby increasing malignant progression of GBM. We monitored gene expression profiling in GSC, differentiated NSGC (GSC at day7 after serum exposure), and senescent NSGC (GSC at day30 after serum exposure) of GBM146 and GBM157.

Id1 knockdown in primary human glioma stem cells

Project description:Abnormal activation of stemness factors is a crucial signature of cancer stem cells (CSCs), a highly tumorigenic subpopulation in malignant tumors. However, it is unclear whether multi-signaling pathways are activated in CSCs, as like normal stem cells. I would like to report that an inhibitor of differentiation 1 (ID1) activates intracellular multi-signaling involved in proliferation, genesis, and maintenance of glioma stem cells (GSCs) by suppression of Cullin3, an E3 ubiquitin ligase that degrades Cyclin E and components of SHH and WNT signaling. ID1 inhibits BMP-dependent differentiation of GSCs by activation of BMPR2-targeting miR17/20a. ID1HIGH-Cullin3LOW signature correlates with a poor prognosis of GBM patients with a significant association to gene signatures enriched in EGF, WNT, SHH, and BMP signaling. Combinational inhibition of GSC intracellular multi-signaling network increases tumor-bearing mice survival. These results provide insights on molecular and cellular basis of GSC biology, and also suggest necessity of multi-signaling inhibition for GSCs therapy. Two human primary glioma stem cells (GSCs) such as GSC2 and GSC8 were isolated from two individual primary human glioma specimens. The GSCs were directly transfected with pSuper-GFP-ID1-shRNA and pSuper-GFP-Scrambled-shRNA using FuGENE 6 reagent (Roche). The RNA extraction in these cells was used to analyze gene expression.
