The chemical reprogramming of unipotent adult germ cells towards authentic pluripotency and de novo establishment of imprinting

ABSTRACT: Pluripotent stem cells can be obtained from spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs) through spontaneous reprogramming without transgenic introduction, but this process is inefficient and lacks mechanism exploration. Here, we reconstructed the progression trajectory of mouse SSC reprogramming by single-cell RNA sequencing and identified a bona fide pluripotent route as the successful reprogramming branch. Notably, we developed five-chemicals combination which could boost the reprogramming efficiency nearly 1000 times than previous study. More importantly, chemical induced germline-derived pluripotent stem cells (5C-gPSCs) with embryonic stem cell-like imprinting status were characterized as fully pluripotent via tetraploid complementation assay. Mechanistically, not only the expression of canonical markers, but also the global DNA demethylation and re-methylation features from epiblast to primordial germ cells and subsequent spermatogonia were remarkably observed during SSC reprogramming; meanwhile, biallelic methylation of most imprinting control regions (ICRs) in SSCs had been switched to monoallelic methylation in gPSCs through such stepwise reprogramming process. Compared to the extremely hypomethylated ICRs in developmental deficient chemical induced pluripotent stem cells (CiPSCs), we demonstrated the highly correlation between proper methylation of ICRs and fully pluripotency. Therefore, our work sheds light on the unique genetic- and epigenetic regulatory network of SSC reprogramming, providing novel insights to understand generic mechanisms for cell fate determination and the epigenetic related developmental disorders in regenerative medicine.

Gene expression profiles of induced multipotent germline stem cells and other pluripotent stem cells

Project description:Spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs) have pluripotent potential. However, frequency of pluripotent cell derivation is low and the mechanism of culture-induced reprogramming remains unknown. Here we report that epigenetic instability of germline stem (GS) cells, cultured SSCs, induces pluripotent cell derivation. GS cells undergo DNA demethylation in H19 differentially methylated region under low-density culture. When H19 demethylation was induced by Dnmt1 depletion, they converted into embryonic stem (ES)-like cells. Dnmt1 depletion downregulated Dmrt1 expression, whose depletion also induced pluripotency. Functional screening of Dmrt1 target gene revealed that Dmrt1 depletion upregulates Sox2, the key molecule responsible for generating induced pluripotent stem cells. Although Sox2 transfection upregulated Oct4 and produced pluripotent cells, this conversion was inhibited by Oct1 overexpression, suggesting that the balance of Oct proteins maintains SSC identity. These results suggest that culture-induced reprogramming is caused by unstable DNA methylation, and that Dmrt1-Sox2 cascade is critical for regulating pluripotency in SSCs. Pluripotent stem-like cells were induced from GS cells by down-regulation of Dnmt/Dmrt, or up-regulation of Sox2/Oct4 in combination with p53 knock-down and their total RNA samples were subjected to microarray analysis to compare their gene expression profile with other pluripotent stem cells such as ES cells or iPS cells.

DNA sequence and chromatin modifiers cooperate to confer epigenetic bistability at imprinting control regions

Project description:DNA methylation is essential for embryonic development and implicated in the regulation of genomic imprinting. Genomic imprinting is established in the germline through parent-specific methylation of distinct cis-regulatory DNA sequences, called imprinting control regions (ICRs). Which factors bind to the opposing chromatin states at ICRs within the same nuclear environment was not systematically addressed. By using a proximity labelling approach with the methylation sensitive transcription factor ZFP57, we identified ATF7IP and other major components of the epigenetic maintenance machinery at ICRs.

Epigenetic Memory Is Not Intrinsic To Transcription Factor-Mediated Reprogramming

Project description:Somatic cells can be reprogrammed to pluripotency using different methods. In comparison to pluripotent cells obtained through somatic nuclear transfer, induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) exhibit a higher number of epigenetic errors. Furthermore, most of these abnormalities have been described to be intrinsic to the iPSC technology. Here we investigate whether the aberrant epigenetic patterns detected in iPSCs are specific to transcription factor-mediated reprogramming. We used germline stem cells (GSCs), which are the only adult cell type that can be converted into pluripotent cells (gPSCs) under specific culture conditions, and compared GSC-derived iPSCs and gPSCs at the transcriptomic, epigenetic and functional level. Our results show that both reprogramming methods generate indistinguishable states of pluripotency. GSC-derived iPSCs and gPSCs retained similar levels of donor cell-type memory and exhibited comparable numbers of reprogramming errors. Therefore, our study demonstrates that the epigenetic memory detected in iPSCs is not intrinsic to transcription-factor mediated reprogramming. Total RNA from 12 different in vitro mouse cell lines, 2 technical replicates per sample: germline stem cells (GSCs, 2 independent cell lines), GSC-derived induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs, 4 independent cell lines), germline-derived pluripotent stem cells (gPSCs, 4 independent cell lines), embryonic stem cells (ESCs), fibroblast-derived induced pluripotent stem cells (Fib-iPSCs)

Correction of a Genetic Disease by CRISPR-Cas9-Mediated Gene Editing in Mouse Spermatogonial Stem Cells

Project description:We used CRISPR/Cas9 mediated gene editing technology to rescue a mutant gene in mouse spermatogenic stem cell(SSC). To evaluate the whole gemome off-target ratio and check the impact on imprinting methylation level by this gene editing method, We built libraries of WGBS from both mutant SSCs and rescued SSCs. We analyzed these data using bioinformatics .All the 12 imprinting locus the WGBS data coverd showed no difference between the two samples(sample name WGBS_**), with expected methylation patterns at each locus.

RNA-seq Analysis of Chromatin Accessibility in p53 Deficient Spermatogonial Stem Cells for High Frequency Transformation into Pluripotent State

Project description:Spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs) could transform into pluripotent state in long term culture without introduction of exogenous factors. And p53 deficiency rescued SSCs from extensive cell apoptosis during transformation induced by rewriting of methylation profiles in SSCs. Notably, p53 is believed as a key bottle-neck for reprogramming. Based on these studies, we compared the difference of chromatin accessibility between SSCs from wild type and p53 deficient SSCs mice using ATAC-seq, to explore the potential mechanism at chromosome level. And RNA-Seq was subsequently exerted to verify the predicted genes and related pathways in SSCs transformation. This result further reveals the role of p53 in regulating SSCs fates, which provide hints new insight for understanding the biological characteristics of germline stem cells, basic and clinic researchand molecular mechanisms of reprogramming and tumorigenesis.

Multiomics Approach to Profiling Development of the Spermatogonial Stem Cell Niche Focused on Sertoli cell Maturation

Project description:Spermatogonial stem cells are the foundation of spermatogenesis and as such can serve as a tool for the treatment of infertility in prepubertal cancer survivors. Spermatogonial stem cells are unique as they develop from primordial germ cells (PGCs), which colonize the developing tubules as immature SSC precursors. It has been controversial, when SSCs are maturing to an adult-like stem cell and recent research has found that prepubertal SSCs are actually metabolically distinct from adult SSCs until puberty. Sertoli cells picture a major part of the SSC niche and undergo drastic changes with puberty and polarize to compartmentalize the seminiferous epithelium with formation of tight junctions to a tight basal part where SSCs reside and an apical part with more differentiated stages of spermatogenesis. In the study were mapping the progression of Sertoli cells maturation events to the metabolic changes SSCs undergo during prepubertal development.

De novo DNA methylation at imprinted loci during reprogramming into naïve and primed pluripotency

Project description:CpG islands (CGIs) including those at imprinting control regions (ICRs) are protected from de novo methylation in somatic cells. However, many cancers often exhibit CGI hypermethylation, implying that the machinery is impaired in cancer cells. Here, we conducted a comprehensive analysis of CGI methylation during the somatic cell reprogramming. Although most CGIs remain hypomethylated, a small subset of CGIs, particularly at several ICRs, were often de novo methylated in reprogrammed pluripotent stem cells (PSCs). Such de novo ICR methylation was linked with the silencing of reprogramming factors, which occurs at a late stage of reprogramming. The ICR-preferred CGI hypermethylation was similarly observed in human PSCs. Mechanistically, ablation of Dnmt3a prevented PSCs from de novo ICR methylation. Notably, the ICR-preferred CGI hypermethylation was observed in pediatric cancers, while adult cancers exhibit genome-wide CGI hypermethylation. These results may have important implications in the pathogenesis of pediatric cancers and the application of PSCs.

Aging of mouse spermatogonial stem cells by Wnt7b-Jnk pathway activation [ChIP-seq]

Project description:Because spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs) are virtually immortal by serial transplantation, SSC decrease in aged testes is considered to be caused by deteriorated microenvironment. Here we report cell-intrinsic mode of SSC aging. SSCs cultured for 5 years proliferate more actively than young SSCs and showed enhanced glycolytic activity but remain euploid and exhibited stable androgenetic imprinting patterns. Moreover, the aged SSCs kept constant SSC activity despite shortened telomeres. The increased proliferative activity of aged SSCs was caused by Wnt7b expression, which likely occurred due to decreased polycomb complex2 activity. Aberrant Wnt7b expression not only decreased reactive oxygen species levels and mitochondria activity but also stimulated glycolysis via c-jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) activation. Analysis of SSCs in Klotho aging mouse model also confirmed hyperactivation of JNK pathway and increased glycolysis. Therefore, not only SSC microenvironment but also intrinsic activation of Wnt7b-mediated glycolysis plays important roles in SSC aging.
