A transcriptional roadmap for 2C-like to pluripotent state transition [bulk RNA]

ABSTRACT: In mouse embryonic stem cell (ESC) culture, a small proportion of cells display totipotent features by expressing a set of genes that are only active in 2-cell-stage embryos. These 2-cell-like (2C-like) cells spontaneously transit back into pluripotent state. We previously dissected the transcriptional dynamics of pluripotent to 2C-like transition and identified factors that modulate the transition. However, how 2C-like cells transits back to the pluripotent state and what factors drive this process remains largely unknown. To address these questions, we examined the transcriptional dynamics during the reverse transition from the 2C-like state to ESCs and identified an intermediate state involved in the transition. Interestingly, we found that mESCs exit from the 2C-like state through a molecular path characterized by a two-wave upregulation of pluripotent genes different from the one observed during the 2C-like entry transition. We also showed that nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) targets Dux mRNA and affects 2C-like state maintenance, suggesting that Dux degradation contributes to the reversal of 2C-like state.

A transcriptional roadmap for 2C-like to pluripotent state transition [single cells]

Cell cycle heterogeneity directs spontaneous 2C state entry and exit in mouse embryonic stem cells (RNA-Seq)

Project description:Mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs) show cell-to-cell heterogeneity. A small fraction of 2-cell-like cells (2CLCs) marked by endogenous retrovirus activation emerge spontaneously. The 2CLCs are instable and they transit back to the pluripotent state without extrinsic stimulus. To understand how this bidirectional transition takes place, we performed single-cell RNA-seq on isolated 2CLCs which underwent 2C-like state exit and re-entry, and revealed a novel circular transitional process between 2C-like and pluripotent states. Mechanistically, we found that the cell cycle played an important role in mediating these transitions by regulating assembly of nucleolus and peri-nucleolar heterochromatin to influence 2C gene Dux expression. Collectively, our findings provide a roadmap of the 2C-like state entry and exit in ESCs and also a causal role of the cell cycle in promoting these transitions.

DPPA2/4 and SUMO E3 ligase PIAS4 opposingly regulate the emergence of 2C-like cells and zygotic transcriptional program

Project description:The molecular mechanism controlling the zygotic genome activation (ZGA) in mammals remains poorly understood. The 2C-like cells spontaneously emerging from cultures of mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs) share some key transcriptional and epigenetic programs with 2-cell stage embryos. By studying the transition of ESCs into 2C-like cells, we identified Dppa2/4 as important regulators controlling zygotic transcriptional program through directly upregulating the expression of Dux. In addition, we found that DPPA2 protein is sumoylated and its activity is negatively regulated by Sumo E3 ligase PIAS4. PIAS4 is downregulated during zygotic genome activation process and during transitioning of ESCs into 2C-like cells. Depleting Pias4 or overexpressing Dppa2/4 is sufficient to upregulateactivate 2C-like transcriptional program, while depleting Dppa2/4 or forced expression of PIAS4 or Sumo2-Dppa2 inhibits 2C-like transcriptional program. Furthermore, ectopic expression of Pias4 or Sumo2-Dppa2 impairs early mouse embryo development. In summary, our study identifies key molecular rivals consisting of transcription factors and a Sumo2 E3 ligase that regulate the transition of ESCs into 2C-like cells and zygotic transcriptional program upstream of Dux.

DUX-miR-344-ZMYM2-mediated activation of MERVL LTRs induces a totipotent 2C-like state [ATAC-seq]

Project description:Mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs) sporadically express preimplantation two-cell-stage (2C) transcripts, including MERVL endogenous retrovirus and Zscan4 cluster genes. Such 2C-like cells (2CLCs) can contribute to both embryonic and extraembryonic tissues when reintroduced into early embryos. We examined global nucleosome occupancy and gene expression in 2CLCs and identified miR-344 as the noncoding molecule that positively controls 2CLC potency. We found that activation of endogenous MERVL or miR-344-2 alone is sufficient to induce 2CLCs with induction of 2C genes and an expanded potency. Mechanistically, miR-344 is activated by the 2C-state driver DUX and post-transcriptionally represses ZMYM2 and LSD1, which recruit the HDAC corepressor to MERVL LTR for transcriptional repression. Consistently, zygotic depletion of Zmym2 compromises the totipotency-to-pluripotency transition during early development. Our studies establish the novel DUX->miR-344--|Zmym2/Lsd1 axis that controls MERVL for expanded stem cell potency.
