CTCF is a Barrier for Totipotent-like Reprogramming [END-seq]

ABSTRACT: Totipotent cells have the ability of generating embryonic and extra-embryonic tissues. Interestingly, a rare population of cells with totipotent-like potential was identified within ESC cultures. These cells, known as 2 cell (2C)-like cells, arise from ESC and display similar features to those found in the totipotent 2 cell embryo. However, the molecular determinants of 2C like conversion have not been completely elucidated. Here, we show that CTCF is a barrier for 2C-like reprogramming. Indeed, forced conversion to a 2C-like state by DUX expression was associated with DNA damage at a subset of CTCF binding sites. Endogenous or DUX-induced 2C-like ESC showed decreased CTCF enrichment at known binding sites, suggesting that acquisition of a totipotent-like state is associated with a highly dynamic chromatin architecture. Accordingly, depletion of CTCF in ESC efficiently promoted spontaneous and asynchronous conversion to a totipotent-like state. This phenotypic reprogramming was reversible upon restoration of CTCF levels. Furthermore, we showed that transcriptional activation of the ZSCAN4 cluster was necessary for successful 2C-like reprogramming. In summary, we revealed the intimate relation between CTCF and totipotent-like reprogramming.

The homeobox transcription factor DUXBL controls exit from the totipotent 2C state [Cut&Run]

Project description:Upon exit from the totipotent 2-cell (2C) embryo stage, the 2C-associated transcriptional program needs to be efficiently silenced. However, the molecular mechanisms involved in this process remain mostly unknown. Here, we determined that the 2C-specific transcription factor DUX directly induced the expression of DUXBL to promote this silencing. CUT&RUN analysis revealed that DUXBL gained accessibility to DUX-bound regions in DUX-induced ESC while it was unable to bind those regions in uninduced cells. Importantly, DUX expression in Duxbl-knockout ESC caused increased induction of the 2C-transcriptional program, whereas DUXBL overexpression impaired 2C-associated transcription. Mechanistically, we determined that DUXBL interacted with TRIM24 and TRIM33, two members of the tripartite motif superfamily involved in gene silencing, and co-localized with them in nuclear condensates upon DUX expression. Importantly, DUXBL downregulation in mouse zygotes led to a penetrant 2C-stage arrest. Our data revealed an unexpected role for DUXBL in controlling the exit from totipotency.

DUX-miR-344-ZMYM2-mediated activation of MERVL LTRs induces a totipotent 2C-like state [RNA-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.

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

Project description: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.
