Diverse development potency and metabolic shape of extended pluripotency are faithfully transferred to somatic cells via cell fusion reprogramming

ABSTRACT: Extended pluripotent stem cells (EPSCs) are a novel cell type derived from 8-cell stage embryo or conversion of pluripotent stem cells using a chemical cocktail that blocks the cell fate decision. Previous studies have defined various aspects of EPSCs including dual differentiational potency to both extraembryonic and embryonic lineages, their ability to directly transfer extended pluripotency to differentiated somatic cells by cell fusion remains unelucidated. Here, we sought to determine whether somatic cells could be reprogrammed and obtain extended pluripotency. In this study, newly derived EPSCs are fused with neural stem cells, which is somatic stem cells, by polyethylene glycol (PEG)-mediated method. The resulting hybrid cells exhibited pluripotential properties with upregulated EPSC-specific genes. Also, hybrid cells contributed to the embryonic and extraembryonic lineages in vivo and in vitro. RNA-sequencing analysis confirmed that the global gene expression pattern of hybrid cells are similar to EPSC while there is no expression of NSC markers, indicating complete erasure of somatic memory after fusion reprogramming. Lastly, EPSCs and hybrids exhibited a bivalent energy metabolism phenotype or more active oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) and glycolysis than NSCs. In conclusion, the extended pluripotency of EPSCs could be transferred to somatic cells through fusion-induced reprogramming.

YY1 safeguard multidimensional epigenetic landscape associated with extended pluripotency

Project description:Although extended pluripotent stem cells (EPSCs) have the potential to form both embryonic and extraembryonic lineages, how their transcriptional regulatory mechanism differs from that of embryonic stem cells (ESCs) remains unclear. Here, we discovered that YY1 binds to specific open chromatin regions in EPSCs. Yy1 depletion in EPSCs leads to a gene expression pattern more similar to that of ESCs than control EPSCs. Moreover, Yy1 depletion triggers a series of epigenetic crosstalk activities, including changes in DNA methylation, histone modifications and high-order chromatin structures. Yy1 depletion in EPSCs disrupts the enhancer-promoter (EP) interactions of EPSC-specific genes, including Dnmt3l. Yy1 loss results in DNA hypomethylation and dramatically reduces the enrichment of H3K4me3 and H3K27ac on the promoters of EPSC-specific genes by upregulating the expression of Kdm5c and Hdac6 through facilitating the formation of CCCTC-binding factor (CTCF)-mediated EP interactions surrounding their loci. Furthermore, single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) experiments revealed that YY1 is required for the derivation of extraembryonic endoderm (XEN)-like cells from EPSCs in vitro. Together, this study reveals that YY1 functions as a key regulator of multidimensional epigenetic crosstalk associated with extended pluripotency.

Attempts for deriving extended pluripotent stem cells from common marmoset embryonic stem cells

Project description:Extended pluripotent stem cells (EPSCs) derived from mice and humans showed an enhanced potential for chimeric formation. By exploiting transcriptomic techniques, we assessed the differences in gene expression profile between extended EPSCs derived from mice and humans, and those newly derived from the common marmoset (marmoset; Callithrix jacchus). Although the marmoset EPSC-like cells displayed a unique colony morphology distinct from murine and human EPSCs, they displayed a pluripotent state akin to embryonic stem cells (ESCs), as confirmed by gene expression and immunocytochemical analyses of pluripotency markers and three-germ-layer differentiation assay. Importantly, the marmoset EPSC-like cells showed interspecies chimeric contribution to mouse embryos, such as E6.5 blastocysts in vitro and E8.5 epiblasts in vivo in mouse development. Also, we discovered that the perturbation of gene expression of the marmoset EPSC-like cells from the original ESCs resembled that of human EPSCs. Thus, we established the efficacy of the method for the derivation of marmoset EPSCs

Establishment in Culture of Mouse Expanded Potential Stem Cells

Project description:The zygote and blastomeres of a cleavage stage mouse embryo have the capacity to differentiate to all lineages in the embryo proper and extraembryonic tissues and are considered totipotent. Mouse ESCs can differentiate to embryonic lineages but have restricted potential to trophoblasts. We report here that cultures of a new type of stem cells with expanded potential (EPSCs) can be established from in vitro cultured mouse preimplantation embryos and individual blastomeres, from directly converting mouse ESCs, or from genetically reprogramming somatic cells. EPSCs differentiate to trophoblasts in vitro, and a single EPSC contributes in chimeras to both extraembryonic lineages including the placenta trophoblasts and the embryo proper. Molecular analyses reveal that EPSCs express core pluripotency factors similar to ESCs, but have enriched signature of preimplantation blastomeres. The data described here suggest that similar cell lines from other mammalian species might also be established in culture and stably maintained.

Establishment of bovine expanded potential stem cells

Project description:Embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and induced pluripotent stem cells have the potential to differentiate to all cell types of an adult individual and are useful for studying development and for translational research. However, extrapolation of mouse and human ESC knowledge to deriving stable ESC lines of domestic ungulates and large livestock species has been challenging. In contrast to ESCs that are usually established from the blastocyst, mouse expanded potential stem cells (EPSCs) are derived from four-cell and eightcell embryos. We have recently used the EPSC approach and established stem cells from porcine and human preimplantation embryos. EPSCs are molecularly similar across species and have broader developmental potential to generate embryonic and extraembryonic cell lineages. We further explore the EPSC technology for mammalian species refractory to the standard ESC approaches and report here the successful establishment of bovine EPSCs (bEPSCs) from preimplantation embryos of both wild-type and somatic cell nuclear transfer. bEPSCs express high levels of pluripotency genes, propagate robustly in feeder-free culture, and are genetically stable in long-term culture. bEPSCs have enriched transcriptomic features of early preimplantation embryos and differentiate in vitro to cells of the three somatic germ layers and, in chimeras, contribute to both the embryonic (fetal) and extraembryonic cell lineages. Importantly, precise gene editing is efficiently achieved in bEPSCs, and genetically modified bEPSCs can be used as donors in somatic cell nuclear transfer. bEPSCs therefore hold the potential to substantially advance biotechnology and agriculture.

Establishment of Porcine and Human Expanded Potential Stem Cells (Single-Cell RNA-seq)

Project description:Despite intensive efforts, establishing porcine embryonic stem cells have been challenging. We recently derived mouse expanded potential stem cells (EPSCs) from individual blastomeres by inhibiting the activity of critical molecular pathways that predisposes lineage differentiation in the mouse preimplantation embryo. EPSCs had enriched molecular signatures of blastomeres and possessed the developmental potency to all embryonic and extraembryonic cell lineages. In this study, we report the derivation of porcine EPSC (pEPSC) lines either directly from preimplantation embryos or by reprogramming fetal fibroblasts. Under similar culture conditions, human ESCs and iPSCs can be converted, or somatic cells are directly reprogrammed, to EPSCs (hEPSCs) that display the molecular and functional attributes reminiscent of pEPSCs. Here, we performed Single-Cell RNA-seq experiments to characterise the transcriptional heterogeneity of the EPSCs.

Enhancing the direct reprogramming towards human naïve and expanded pluripotency

Project description:Naïve pluripotent and expanded potential stem cells (EPSCs) represent the pre-implantation epiblast which are molecularly, epigenetically and developmentally distinct from conventional primed pluripotent stem cells representing the epiblast of post-implantation embryo. These stem cell types offer expanded developmental potential towards extraembryonic tissues, clonality at the single cell level, high homogeneity and are more amenable for genome engineering. Here we use a polycistronic cassette to directly reprogram fibroblasts into induced EPSCs without a detour to primed pluripotency. When we replace SOX2 with engineered SOX17 factor (eSOX17), we obtain 7 to 10 -fold more iEPSC colonies within shorter time periods. We next tested our reprogramming regimen in four media supporting naïve pluripotency reprogramming and could reproducibly obtain large numbers of clonally expandable colonies with eSOX17 whilst SOX2 occasionally fails. The resultant naïve pluripotent and expanded potential stem cells molecularly and functionally resemble their counterparts derived from embryonic stem cells. In sum, the use of engineered SOX17 factor enables a direct, fast, efficient and reproducible reprogramming of somatic cells into cells representative of the pre-implantation epiblast from somatic cells.

Podocalyxin-Like Protein 1 Regulates Pluripotency through the Cholesterol Biosynthesis Pathway

Project description:Deciphering signaling mechanisms critical for the extended pluripotent stem cell (EPSC) state and primed pluripotency is necessary for understanding embryonic development. Here, we identify a membrane protein, Podocalyxin-like protein 1 (PODXL) as being essential for extended and primed pluripotency. Alteration of PODXL expression levels affects self-renewal, protein expression of c-MYC and telomerase, and induced pluripotent stems cell (iPSC) and EPSC colony formation. PODXL is the first membrane protein reported to regulate de novo cholesterol biosynthesis, and human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) are more sensitive to cholesterol depletion than fibroblasts. The addition of exogenous cholesterol fully restores PODXL knockdown-mediated loss of pluripotency. PODXL affects lipid raft dynamics via the regulation of cholesterol. PODXL recruits the RAC1/CDC42/actin network to regulate SREBP1 and SREBP2 maturation and lipid raft dynamics. Single-cell RNA sequencing reveals PODXL overexpression enhanced chimerism between human cells in mouse host embryos (hEPSCs 57%). Interestingly, in the human-mouse chimeras, laminin and collagen signaling-related pathways are dominant in PODXL overexpressing cells. We conclude that cholesterol regulation via PODXL signaling is critical for ESC/EPSC.

Epigenetic landscape of expanded potential stem cells

Project description:We described a new culture system that can expand the developmental potential of pluripotent stem cells to contribute efficiently to extraembryonic lineage development. To compare the epigenetic landscape of expanded potential stem cells (EPSCs) and standard embryonic stem cells, we performed ChIP-seq study on multiple histone modifications to establish the epigenetic landscape of EPSCs.
