Lysophosphatidic acid Shifts Metabolic and Transcriptional Landscapes to Induce a Novel Cellular State in Human Embryonic Stem Cells

ABSTRACT: Pluripotent stem cells can be maintained in a continuum of cellular states with distinct features. Exogenous lipid supplements are commonly utilized to shift the balance of global metabolism relieving the dependence on de novo lipogenesis. However, it is largely unexplored how specific lipid components regulate metabolism and pluripotency state. In this study, we investigate the impact of lipid supplements on human embryonic stem cells (hESCs), and report that signaling lipid lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) is the key component to shift the metabolic landscape in lipid supplement AlbuMAX. Although the maintenance of ERK phosphorylation and primed pluripotency is independent of exogenous lipids, LPA increases ERK phosphorylation, especially upon niche disintegration. We further demonstrate that LPA leads to distinctive transcriptome profile that is not associated with de novo lipogenesis. We also show that LPA causes unique and reversible phenotypes in cell cycle, morphology and mitochondria. This study reveals an LPA -induced primed state that allow people to drastically alter cell physiology for basic research and stem cell applications with hESCs.

The functional role of OGDH for maintaining mitochondrial respiration and identity of primed human embryonic stem cells

Project description:Human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) can self-renew infinitely or differentiate into the 3 germ layer lineages in vitro with certain cues, holding great promise to model early human embryo development ex vivo. It is wildly accepted that hESCs take advantage of both glycolysis and mitochondrial respiration to favor the naïve pluripotency, while prefer glycolysis to support the primed pluripotency. Thus, the function of mitochondrial respiration in primed hESCs has been underestimated for a long time, and has not been fully understood yet. Herein, we report that the adenosine triphosphate (ATP) production rate is comparable between mitochondrial respiration and glycolysis, suggesting that mitoATP may serve as one of the major sources of the ATP pool in primed hESCs. To further reveal the function of mitochondrial respiration, we deployed inducible CRISPRi method to inhibit OGDH expression with high efficiency, resulting in the TCA cycle blockade as well as the diminishment of mitochondrial respiration activity and total ATP level. Of note, OGDH deficiency led to the exit of primed pluripotency accompanied by cell death. Furthermore, the treatment with small molecule inhibitors to block electron transport chain (ETC) can phenocopy the loss-of-function of OGDH in hESCs. Therefore, genetic and pharmacological perturbations on mitochondrial respiration can impair the stemness of primed hESCs. Collectively, the current study unveils that OGDH acts as a key regulator to fine-tune the abundance of TCA cycle metabolites to ensure the mitochondrial respiration activity in primed hESCs, and highlights the pivotal roles of mitochondrial respiration in terms of ATP production and the maintenance of primed pluripotency. Our findings may provide insights into the linkage between pluripotent states and energy metabolism in hESCs.

Probing the signaling requirements for naïve human pluripotency by high-throughput chemical screening [WGBS]

Project description:Background: Naïve human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) have been isolated that more closely resemble the pre-implantation epiblast compared to conventional “primed” hESCs, but the signaling principles underlying these discrete stem cell states remain incompletely understood. Methods:Here we performed high-throughput screening using a library of >3,000 well-annotated compounds to identify essential signaling requirements for naïve human pluripotency. Results:We report that MEK1/2 inhibitors can be replaced during maintenance of naïve human pluripotency by inhibitors targeting either upstream (FGFR, RAF1) or downstream (ERK1/2) kinases. Naïve hESCs maintained under these alternative conditions display elevated levels of ERK phosphorylation but retain genome-wide DNA hypomethylation and a transcriptional identity of the pre-implantation epiblast. In contrast, dual inhibition of MEK and ERK promotes efficient primed-to-naïve resetting in combination with PKC, ROCK, and TNKS inhibitors and Activin A. Conclusions: This work demonstrates that induction and maintenance of naïve human pluripotency are governed by distinct signaling requirements.

OCT4 IP-MS in Naive and Primed Human ESCs

Project description:Understanding the molecular underpinnings of pluripotency is a prerequisite for optimal maintenance and application of embryonic stem cells (ESCs). While the protein-protein interactions of core pluripotency factors have been identified in mouse ESCs, their interactome in human ESCs (hESCs) has not to date been explored. Here we mapped the OCT4 interactomes in naïve and primed hESCs, revealing extensive connections to mammalian ATP-dependent nucleosome remodeling complexes.

PRODH regultes naive pluripotency by influencing mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation (Targeted metabolomics)

Project description:Naïve human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) that resemble the pre-implantation epiblasts are fueled by a combination of aerobic glycolysis and oxidative phosphorylation, but their mitochondrial regulators are poorly understood. Here we report that, proline dehydrogenase (PRODH), a mitochondria-localized proline metabolism enzyme, is dramatically upregulated in naïve hESCs compared to their primed counterparts. The upregulation of PRODH is induced by a reduction in c-Myc expression that is dependent on PD0325901, a MEK inhibitor routinely present in naive hESC culture media. PRODH knockdown in naive hESCs significantly promoted mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation (mtOXPHOS) and reactive oxygen species (ROS) production that triggered autophagy, DNA damage, and apoptosis. Remarkably, MitoQ, a mitochondria-targeted antioxidant, effectively restored the pluripotency and proliferation of PRODH-knockdown naïve hESCs, indicating that PRODH maintains naïve pluripotency by preventing excessive ROS production. Concomitantly, PRODH knockdown significantly slowed down the proteolytic degradation of multiple key mitochondrial electron transport chain complex proteins. Thus, we revealed a crucial role of PRODH in limiting mtOXPHOS and ROS production, and thereby safeguarding naïve pluripotency of hESCs.

Translational and Post-translational LC-MS of Naïve and Primed hESCs

Project description:Deciphering the regulatory network for human naïve and primed pluripotency is of fundamental theoretical and applicable significance. Here, by combining quantitative proteomics, phosphoproteomics and acetylproteomics analyses, we revealed RNA processing and translation as the most differentially-regulated processes between naïve and primed human embryonic stem cells (hESCs). While glycolytic primed hESCs rely predominantly on eIF4E-mediated cap-dependent pathway for protein translation, naïve hESCs with reduced mTORC1 activity are more tolerant to blockage of eIF4E-dependent translation, and their bivalent metabolism allows for translating selective mRNAs via both eIF4E-dependent and eIF4E-independent/eIF4A2-dependent pathways to form a more compact naïve proteome. Globally up-regulated proteostasis system and down-regulated post-translational modification system help to further refine and maintain the naïve proteome that is compatible with the more rapid cycling of naïve hESCs, where CDK1 plays an indispensable coordinative role.

Novel culture conditions facilitating the induction of naïve pluripotency in human embryonic stem cells

Project description:We report a novel culture condition inducing naive pluripotency in hESCs in a rapid, robust and reproducible way. These naive hESCs were similar to mESCs exhibiting domed colony morphology, increased single survival, reduced doubling time, upregulation of naive pluripotency-specific genes, unbiased lineage-specific differentiation, hypomethylation, separate clustering profile from parental primed hESCs and were dependent on signalling pathways similar to naive mESCs. Global DNA methylation analysis of naive hESCs and their parental primed hESC counterparts.
