An ExtendedCulture System that Supports Human Primordial Germ Cell-Like Cells Survival and Initiation of DNA Methylation Erasure

ABSTRACT: In this study, we evalauted the transcriptionl profiles of human primordial germ cell-like cell (hPGCLCs) cultured for an extended period on STO feeders in FR10 media for an additional 10 days (D4C10). The hPGCLCs were obtained from two different human embryonic stem cell line (hESCs), UCLA 1 (XX) and UCLA2 (XY) for the RNA sequencing data. For whole genome bisulfite sequencing, we evaluate primed UCLA2 hESCs, directly out of the aggragate hPGCLCs (Day 4= D4) and extended culture hPGCLCs D4C10. Our D4C10 hPGCLCs were compared to prior RNA-sequencing data generated in our laboraty, which revealed that D4C10 hPGCLCs retain germline identy and closely resemble D4 hPGCLCs at the transcriptional level. Our WGBS data revealed that extended culture hPGCLCs at D4C10 have a decrease in CG methlyation, as compared to the starting hESCs and D4 hPGCLCs.

Whole-genome single-cell 5mC sequencing of human primordial germ cell-like cells

Project description:In this study, we evaluated the 5mC content of single cell human primordial germ cell-like cells (hPGCLCs) generated from a male human embryonic stem cell line (UCLA2, 46XY). tilizing a strand-specific, enzymatic based method of sequencing, we compared the 5mC content of the plus strand relative to the whole chromosome. We evaluated just specified hPGCLCs, at day 4 of differentiation (D4) and then D4 hPGCLCs that were cultured on a feeder layer for additional 10 days (D4C10).

SOX17 Is a Critical Specifier of Human Primordial Germ Cell Fate

Project description:Specification of primordial germ cells (PGCs) marks the beginning of the totipotent state. However, without a tractable experimental model, the mechanism of human PGC (hPGC) specification remains unclear. Here, we demonstrate specification of hPGC-like cells (hPGCLCs) from germline competent pluripotent stem cells. The characteristics of hPGCLCs are consistent with the embryonic hPGCs and a germline seminoma that share a CD38 cell-surface marker, which collectively defines likely progression of the early human germline. Remarkably, SOX17 is the key regulator of hPGC-like fate, whereas BLIMP1 represses endodermal and other somatic genes during specification of hPGCLCs. Notable mechanistic differences between mouse and human PGC specification could be attributed to their divergent embryonic development and pluripotent states, which might affect other early cell-fate decisions. We have established a foundation for future studies on resetting of the epigenome in hPGCLCs and hPGCs for totipotency and the transmission of genetic and epigenetic information.

Expanding highly homogenous population of human primordial germ cell like cells in long-term and feeder-free culture condition [scRNA-seq]

Project description:The culture methods for human primordial germ cell like cells (hPGCLCs) has not been established. Here we report the culture method to expand long-term culture hPGCLCs (LTC-hPGCLCs) representing migrating morphology and early hPGC transcriptome and methylome. Key components of the culture media are stem cell factor, STO-conditioned media and absence of fetal calf serum. In this condition, these LTC-hPGCLCs were highly homogenous population without feeder cells and expanded at least 150 days. They did not express senescent phenotype such as β-galactosidase activity and shortening of telomere length at the 150-day culture, indicating that the cell might be a perpetual cell line. LTC-hPGCLCs still have potent pluripotency indicating the phenotype that the cells become human embryonic germ cells which were distinguishable from human iPS cells in strong DLK1 expression and H19 biallelic expression. In summary this simple culture method and highly homogenous LTC-hPGCLCs would be a useful resource that supports investigations on human germline cells.

Divergent roles of KLF4 and TFCP2L1 in ground-state naive pluripotency and human primordial germ cell development

Project description:During development, human primordial germ cells (hPGCs) transition through a transcriptional and epigenetic state similar to pre-implantation epiblast cells called naive ground-state pluripotency. Diagnostic transcription factors that define this state include TFAP2C, KLF4, and TFCP2L1, with TFAP2C necessary for both establishment of the naive-like state in hPGC-like cells (hPGCLCs) as well as establishment and self-renewal of naive human embryonic stem cells (hESCs). Here, we show that KLF4 and TFCP2L1 are not required for hPGC specification or establishment of the naive-like state in hPGCLCs. Instead, KLF4 and TFCP2L1 are each required for reversion of primed hESCs to the self-renewing naive ground state. Additionally, TFCP2L1 but not KLF4 function after hPGC specification in the proliferation of the hPGCLC population.

Genome-wide analysis of gene expression in human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) and their differentiated cells

Project description:In order to investigate the gene expression changes in human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) during differentiation, we performed a microarray analysis from RNAs isolated from undifferentiated hESCs and their differentiated cells incubated for 1 week or 2 weeks in ESC medium. Human SNUhES3 ESCs (Seoul National University Hospital, Seoul, Korea) were cultured on mitotically-arrested STO feeder cells (ATCC, Manassas, USA) in DMEM/F12 supplemented with 20% knockout serum replacement (KSR). The embryoid bodies were incubated for 1 or 2 weeks in the above ESC medium without bFGF. Cells were then lysed and RNA was isolated.

ActivinA-derived human embryonic stem cells show increased competence to differentiate into primordial germ cell-like cells

Project description:Robust differentiation of hPGCLCs starting from hESCs is currently hampered by the inherent heterogenous nature of different hESC lines. Here, we show that hESC lines, that were both derived and cultured in the presence of ActA, show high competence to differentiate to PGCLCs, in particular if transiently converted to the 4i-state prior to differentiation. We performed a robust and systematic comparison of isogenic lines and provide an optimized protocol to obtain PGCLCs from hESCs.

The TFAP2C-Regulated OCT4 Naive Enhancer Is Involved in Human Germline Formation

Project description:Human primordial germ cells (hPGCs) are the first embryonic progenitors in the germ cell lineage, yet the molecular mechanisms required for hPGC formation are not well characterized. To identify regulatory regions in hPGC development, we used the assay for transposase-accessible chromatin using sequencing (ATAC-seq) to systematically characterize regions of open chromatin in hPGCs and hPGC-like cells (hPGCLCs) differentiated from human embryonic stem cells (hESCs). We discovered regions of open chromatin unique to hPGCs and hPGCLCs that significantly overlap with TFAP2C-bound enhancers identified in the naive ground state of pluripotency. Using CRISPR/Cas9, we show that deleting the TFAP2C-bound naive enhancer at the OCT4 locus (also called POU5F1) results in impaired OCT4 expression and a negative effect on hPGCLC identity.

Robotic vs Laparoscopic D3-D4 Lymphadenectomy for Colorectal Cancer

Project description:Approximately one third of patients with colorectal cancer are diagnosed as locally advanced stage with metastasis to N3 - N4 lymph nodes requiring a D3 - D4 lymphadenectomy. Our previous study has indicated that, by laparoscopic approach, the extended abdomino-iliac lymphadenectomy, the so-called D3-D4 lymph node dissection, could be performed with quick convalescence and similar oncologic efficacy for the treatment of advanced recto-sigmoid cancer with metastatic lesions over N3-N4 lymph nodes, as compared with traditional open surgery. In the present study, the investigators will further compare the oncologic and functional outcomes of robotic versus laparoscopic approach in performing such challenging surgical procedures for patients with advanced colorectal cancer requiring a D3-D4 lymphadenectomy through a randomized prospective clinical trial.
