Activin A and BMP4 Signaling Expands Potency of Mouse Embryonic Stem Cells in Serum Free Media

ABSTRACT: Inhibitors of Mek1/2 and Gsk3b, known as 2i, and together with leukemia inhibitory factor, enhance the derivation of embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and promote ground-state pluripotency (2i/L-ESCs). However, recent reports show prolonged Mek1/2 suppression impairs the developmental potential of ESCs, and is rescued by serum (S/L-ESCs). In spite of the unclear roles of growth factors in serum, the coculture system has remained the gold standard. Here we show that culturing ESCs in Activin A, BMP4 and in the absence of MEK1/2 inhibitor (ABC/L medium) establishes stable ESCs, named advanced pluripotent stem cells derived from ESCs (esASCs). We demonstrate that esASCs contributed to germline lineages, full term chimeras and generated esASCs-derived mice by tetraploid complementation. We show that in contrast to 2i/L-ESCs, these esASCs display distinct molecular signatures and stable hypermethylated epigenome which is reversible and similar to S/L-ESCs. Importantly, we also derived novel ASCs (blASCs) from blastocysts in ABC/L medium. These blASCs are persisting at an intermediate state between naïve and primed state of pluripotency and stable hypermethylated epigenome. Our results provide insights into the derivation of novel ESCs with DNA hypermethylation from blastocysts in a chemically defined medium.

Derivation of ground-state female ESCs maintaining gamete-derived DNA methylation

Project description:Inhibitors of MEK1/2 and Gsk3b, known as '2i' culture conditions, enhance the derivation of embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and promote ground-state pluripotency in rodents 1,2. Here we show that the derivation of female mouse ESCs in the presence of 2i (2i-ESCs) results in a widespread loss of DNA methylation including a massive erasure of genomic imprints. Despite this global loss of DNA methylation, the early-passage 2i-ESCs efficiently differentiate into somatic cells and this process requires genome-wide de novo DNA methylation. However, the majority of imprinting control regions (ICRs) remain unmethylated in the 2i-ESC-derived differentiated cells. Consistently, 2i-ESCs exhibit impairment of autonomous embryonic and placental development by tetraploid embryo complementation and nuclear transplantation. We identified the derivation conditions of female ESCs that display 2i-ESC-like transcriptional signatures while preserving gamete-derived DNA methylation and autonomous developmental potential. Upon prolonged culture, however, female ESCs exhibit ICR demethylation, regardless of culture conditions. Our results provide insights into derivation of female ESCs reminiscent of ICM of preimplantation embryos. S-ESCs are ESCs established under serum-containing medium. 2i_S_ESCs are ESCs established in 2i-containing medium, followed by maintenance in serum-containing medium.

Derivation of ground-state female ESCs maintaining gamete-derived DNA methylation [gene expression]

Project description:Preimplantation embryos undergo a transient wave of genome-wide demethylation with the exception of imprinted genes that are critical for fetal development. Here we show that the derivation of female mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs) in the presence of inhibitors of MEK1/2 and Gsk3 (2i-ESCs), known as ‘2i’ or “ground-state” culture conditions, results in a widespread loss of DNA methylation including a massive erasure of genomic imprints. In this study, we analyzed global gene expression profile and global DNA methylation status in 2i-ESCs and 2i-ESCs derived differentiated cells. S-ESCs are ESCs established under serum-containing medium. 2i_S_ESCs are ESCs established in 2i-containing medium, followed by maintenance in serum-containing medium.

Epigenetic integrity of paternal imprints enhances the developmental potential of androgenetic haploid embryonic stem cells

Project description:The use of two inhibitors of Mek1/2 and Gsk3β (2i) promotes the generation of mouse diploid and haploid embryonic stem cells (ESCs) from the inner cell mass of biparental and uniparental blastocysts, respectively. However, a system enabling long-term maintenance of imprints in ESCs has proven challenging. Here, we report that usage of a two-step a2i (alternative two inhibitors of Src and Gsk3β, TSa2i) derivation/culture protocol results in the establishment of androgenetic haploid ESCs (AG-haESCs) with stable DNA methylation at paternal DMRs (differentially DNA methylated regions) up to passage 60 that can efficiently support generating mice upon oocyte injection. We also show coexistence of H3K9me3 marks and ZFP57 bindings with intact DMR methylations. Furthermore, we demonstrate that TSa2i-treated AG-haESCs are a heterogeneous cell population regarding paternal DMR methylation. Strikingly, AG-haESCs with late passages display increased paternal-DMR methylations and improved developmental potential compared to early-passage cells, in part through the enhanced proliferation of H19-DMR hypermethylated cells. Together, we establish AG-haESCs that can long-term maintain paternal imprints.

DNMTs Play an Important Role in Maintaining the Pluripotency of Leukemia Inhibitory Factor Dependent Embryonic Stem Cells

Project description:Naïve pluripotency can be maintained in 2i/LIF supplements, which primarily affect canonical WNT, FGF/ERK, and JAK/STAT3 signaling. However, whether one of these tripartite supplements alone is sufficient to maintain naïve self-renewal remain unclear. Here we show that LIF alone medium is sufficient for adaptation of 2i/L-ESCs to ESCs with hypermethylated state (L-ESCs). Global transcriptomic analysis show that L-ESCs are close to 2i/L-ESCs and in a stable state between naïve and primed pluripotency. Notably, our results demonstrate that DNA methyltransferases (DNMTs) play an important role for LIF-dependent mouse ESCs adaptation and self-renew. LIF-dependent ESCs adaptation efficiency is significantly increased in serum treatment and reduced in Dnmt3a or Dnmt3l knockout ESCs. Importantly, unlike epiblast stem cells, L-ESCs contribute to somatic tissues and germ cells in chimaeras. L-ESCs cultured in such a simple conditions in this study would provide a more conducive platform to clarify the molecular mechanism of ESCs in vitro culture.

Dissection of two routes to naïve pluripotency using different kinase inhibitors

Project description:Embryonic stem cells (ESCs) can be maintained in the naïve state through inhibition of Mek1/2 and Gsk3 (2i). A relevant effect of 2i is the inhibition of Cdk8/19, which are negative regulators of the Mediator complex, responsible for the activity of enhancers. Inhibition of Cdk8/19 (Cdk8/19i) stimulates enhancers and, similar to 2i, stabilizes ESCs in the naïve state. Here, we use mass spectrometry to describe the molecular events (phosphoproteome, proteome, and metabolome) triggered by 2i and Cdk8/19i on ESCs. Our data reveal widespread commonalities between these two treatments, suggesting overlapping processes. We find that post-transcriptional de-repression by both 2i and Cdk8/19i might support the mitochondrial capacity of naive cells. However, proteome reprogramming in each treatment is achieved by different mechanisms. Cdk8/19i acts directly on the transcriptional machinery, activating key identity genes to promote the naïve program. In contrast, 2i stabilizes the naïve circuitry through, in part, de-phosphorylation of downstream transcriptional effectors.

Continuous suppression of Mek1/2 impairs the developmental potential of mouse embryonic stem cells (H2A.X pattern)

Project description:Simultaneous inhibition of Gsk3α/β and Mek1/2 signaling in the presence of LIF (2i/L) induces a naïve state in mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs) that resembles the inner cell mass (ICM) of the pre-implantation embryo. Since the ICM exists only transiently in vivo, it remains unclear how continuous propagation of naïve ESCs in vitro affects their stability and functionality. Here, we show that extended culture of male ESCs in 2i/L results in the progressive erosion of genomic imprints, loss of H2A.X binding, and accumulation of chromosomal aberrations. Consistent with these observations, we find that ESCs propagated in 2i/L have an impaired developmental potential. Mechanistically, we demonstrate that Mek1/2 inhibition is predominantly responsible for these effects, in part through downregulation of DNA methyltransferases. We further provide evidence that female ESCs cultured in conventional serum/LIF media phenocopy male ESCs cultured in 2i/L, including the aforementioned epigenetic and developmental abnormalities. Finally, we show that replacement of the Mek1/2 inhibitor with a Src inhibitor preserves the epigenetic and genomic integrity as well as developmental potential of ESCs. Taken together, our data suggest that, while suppression of Mek1/2 in ESCs maintains an ICM-like epigenetic state, continuous suppression results in irreversible changes that compromise their developmental potential.

Identify genomic binding sites of Tfcp2l1 in mouse embryonic stem cells grown in 2i medium

Project description:Mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs) grown in the 2i (an ERK inhibitor, PD0325901, and a GSK-3b inhibitor, CHIR99021) mimic pluripotent epiblasts in preimplantation blastocysts. Tfcp2l1 is a transcription factor highly expressed in ESCs grown in the 2i medium, suggesting that it plays in important role in ESC biology. To search for the putative role(s) of Tfcp2l1 in ESCs, we plan to use an integrated genomic approach--combing RNA-seq and ChIP-seq--to identify the direct targets of Tfcp2l1 in ESCs. ChIP-seq is used to identify the genomic bindings sites of Tfcp2l1 in ESCs grown in the 2i medium.
