Genome-scale Screening in a Rat Haploid System Identifies Thop1 as a Modulator of Pluripotency Exit

ABSTRACT: Rat embryonic stem cells (ESCs), which are widely studied, can self-renew and exhibit pluripotency in long-term culture, but the mechanism underlying how they exit pluripotency remains obscure. Rat haploid ESCs (haESCs) enable advances in the discovery of unknown functional genes owing to their homozygous and pluripotent characteristics. Herein, we performed genome-wide mutation using piggyBac transposons in rat haESCs and obtained differentiation-retarded mutants assisted by Rex1-GFP reporter selection. High-throughput sequencing analysis further revealed numerous insertions related to various pathways affecting random differentiation. Thereafter, deletion of Thop1 (one candidate gene in the screened list) arrested the differentiation of rat ESCs by inhibiting the phosphorylation of ERK1/2, whereas overexpression of Thop1 promoted rat ESCs exit from pluripotency. Our findings provide an ideal tool to study functional genomics in rats: a homozygous haploid system carrying a pluripotency reporter that facilitates robust discovery of the mechanisms involved in the self-renewal or pluripotency of rat ESCs.

Genome-scale Screening in a Rat Haploid System Identifies Thop1 as a Modulator of Pluripotency Exit II

Haploid embryonic stem cells

Project description:Mammalian haploid embryonic stem cells (haESCs) provide new possibilities for large-scale genetic screens because they bear only one copy of each chromosome. However, haESCs are prone to spontaneous diploidization through unknown mechanisms. Here, we report that a small molecule combination could restrain mouse haESCs from diploidization by impeding exit from naïve pluripotency and by shortening the S-G2/M phases. Combined with 2i and PD166285, our chemical cocktail could maintain haESCs in the haploid state for at least five weeks without fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) enrichment of haploid cells. Taken together, we established an effective chemical approach for long-term maintenance of haESCs, and highlighted that proper cell cycle progression was critical for the maintenance of haploid state.

Chromatin landscapes in mouse haploid stem cells [RRBS-seq]

Project description:We generate histone modification profiles and DNA methylation profiles of mouse haploid embryonic stem cells. By comparison to mouse diploid ESCs and MEFs, we found the similar chromatin landscapes between haESCs and mESCs, which reveal the self-renew ability and pluripotency in haESCs. Besides, haESCs specific chromatin landscapes show its sperm-like functions.

Expression data from haploid and diploid epiblast stem cells

Project description:Haploid pluripotent stem cells, such as haploid embryonic stem cells (haESCs), facilitate the genetic study of recessive traits. In vitro, fish haESCs maintain haploidy in both undifferentiated and differentiated states, but whether mammalian haESCs can preserve pluripotency in the haploid state has not been tested. Here, we report that mouse haESCs can differentiate in vitro into haploid epiblast stem cells (haEpiSCs), which maintain an intact haploid genome, unlimited self-renewal potential, and durable pluripotency to differentiate into various tissues in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistically, the maintenance of self-renewal potential depends on the Activin/bFGF pathway. We further show that haEpiSCs can differentiate in vitro into haploid progenitor-like cells.

Genetic screening and multipotency in rhesus monkey haploid neural progenitor cells

Project description:Haploid embryonic stem cells (haESCs) have been extensively applied in forward and reverse genetic screening. However, a mammalian haploid somatic cell line is difficult to achieve because of spontaneous diploidization in differentiation. As a non-human primate species, monkeys are widely used in basic and pre-clinical research in which haploid cells are restricted to ESCs. Here, we report that rhesus monkey haESCs in an optimized culture medium show naïve-state pluripotency and stable haploidy. This model facilitated the derivation of haploid neural progenitor cells (haNPCs), which maintained haploidy and differentiation potential into neurons and glia for a long period in vitro. High-throughput trapping mutations can be efficiently introduced into haNPCs via piggyBac transposons. This system proves useful when identifying gene targets of neural toxicants via a proof-of-concept experiment. Using CRISPR/Cas9 editing, we confirmed that B4GALT6, from the candidate gene list, is a resistance gene of A803467 (a tetrodotoxin-like toxicant). This model is the first non-human primate haploid somatic cell line with proliferative ability, multipotency and an intact genome, thus providing a cellular resource for recessive genetic and potential drug screening.

CGH analysis of AG-haESCs (androgenetic haploid embryonic stem cells)

Project description:The genomic DNA sample of AG-haESCs were compared to the C57BL/6J male mouse kidney by comparative genomic hybridization. The data confirmed that the haploid cells sustained genome integrity. The analysis was performed on a NimbleGen Mouse CGH 3x720K Whole-Genome Tiling Array to analyse the copy number variations in AG-haESCs, and the genomic DNA of C57BL/6J male mouse kidney was used as control, which had the same background with haploid ESCs.

CGH analysis of monkey PG-haESCs (parthenogenic haploid embryonic stem cells)

Project description:The genomic DNA sample of monkey PG-haESCs were compared to the female adipose cells by comparative genomic hybridization. The data confirmed that these haploid cells sustained genome integrity. The analysis was performed on a Agilent aCGH G3 Rhesus Macaque 4x180K array to analyse the copy number variations in monkey PG-haESCs, and the genomic DNA of femal monkey adipose was used as control, which had the same background with haploid ESCs.

mRNA expression data from monkey PG-haESCs, ICSI-derived ESCs and somatic fibroblasts

Project description:Haploid cells are amenable for genetic analysis because they contain only one set of chromosomes. Here,we report the derivation of haESCs from monkey parthenogenic blastocysts. These cells, which we designated PG-haESCs (parthenogenic haploid embryonic stem cells), express classical ESC markers, are pluripotent, and can differentiate to different cell lines from all three embryonic germ layers in vivo and in vitro. We used microarrays to compare the gene expression levels among PG-haESC, ICSI-derived ESCs and female monkey somatic fibroblasts. We used ICSI-derived ESCs and somatic fibroblasts isloated from female individuals as control. Gene expression profiles of all the cell lines were analysed on an Affymetrix Rhesus Macaque array.

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.
