Project description:Whole transcriptome RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) of human induced pluripotent stem cell lines from three independent donors at seven islet developmental stages: definitive endoderm (DE), primitive gut tube (GT), posterior foregut (PF), pancreatic endoderm (PE), endocrine progenitors (EP), endocrine-like cells (EN), and beta-like cells (BLC).

Project description:To explore the contribution of islet development to T2D pathogenesis, we characterised the transcriptomes of 3 human iPSC lines (from independent donors) differentiated along the islet development lineage. Whole transcriptome RNA-seq was performed at 7 developmental stages: definitive endoderm, primitive gut tube, posterior foregut (PF), pancreatic endoderm, endocrine progenitors, endocrine-like cells, and beta-like cells (BLC). Differentially-expressed (ΔExp) genes were assigned to the stage in which they were most upregulated (versus baseline iPSC profile), and used to assess the enrichment of T2D GWAS genes, as well as to predict the upstream transcription factors at each developmental stage.We found 9409 ΔExp genes across all stages, including known markers of islet development (NEUROG3, INS). Genes ΔExp in the most-differentiated (BLC) stage were significantly enriched for genes within the 99% credible sets of T2D GWAS loci. Despite this enrichment in BLC only, over 70% of genes mapping within the credible sets were ΔExp before this stage, highlighting the relevance of key T2D GWAS genes in islet development: e.g. expression of TCF7L2 peaked during the PF stage (log2FC=1.2; q=8.5×10-10). REST and LMNA are also highlighted by the analyses as having a potential function in islet development, considering their pattern of expression and those of the genes they regulate. Transcriptomic signatures derived from this iPSC differentiation model highlight T2D-associated GWAS loci, monogenic diabetes genes and potential master regulators of gene networks with plausible function in islet development. All these provide clues for developmental mechanisms contributing to T2D diabetes pathology.

Project description:To characterize the epigenetic programs that underlie pancreas differentiation, we have generated genome-scale maps of H3K4me and H3K27me3 patterns by ChIP-seq and determined expression profiles by RNA-seq from undifferentiated human ESCs, four intermediate differentiated stages (definitive endoderm, primitive gut tube, posterior foregut, and pancreatic endoderm), and in vitro-differentiated polyhormonal cells. Antibodies against CD142 and CD200 were used to select for targeted pancreatic and endocrine populations at the end of the culture. Cells at the end of culture were implanted into mice for further differentiation into mature insulin-producing beta-cells and compared to sorted polyhormonal cells by RNA-seq and ChIP-seq analysis. For the experimental factor values the time points are along a differentiation protocol from stem cells to tissue. Values in the CD antibody column refer to antibodies used for cell sorting. In this column 'not applicable' refers to samples that were not sorted. 'none' refers to samples that were sorted, but did not bind to either of the two antibodies, CD200 and CD142. Values in the histone antibody column are about the ChIP process.

Project description:Despite Hedgehog’s influence on T-cell activation and proliferation, the transcriptional targets of Gli2 in lymphocytes are not known. We therefore examined the Hedgehog-dependent transcriptional response of resting and early-stage activated T-cells in order to define their transcriptional response to Hedgehog pathway activation. We have established transgenic models where transcription of target genes by Gli2 is either constitutively activated or repressed in cells of the T-lineage. Gli2 has an N-terminal repressor domain and a C-terminal activator domain. Lck-Gli2?N2 (Gli2A) mice carry a transgene encoding a truncated form of Gli2 that acts as a permanent transcriptional activator of Hh target genes. Conversely, Lck-Gli2?C2 (Gli2R) mice express a repressor of Gli2-dependent transcription, which by binding to Gli binding sites inhibits physiological Hh-dependent transcription, and hence Hh signal transduction, in the cell. These transgenes are driven by the Lck promoter and are only expressed in T-lineage cells Purified fresh, resting CD4 cells (unstimulated) and from CD4 cells stimulated with anti-CD3/CD28 for 6h (stimulated) were analysed in order to obtain transcriptional profiles before and during the early stages of T-cell activation.

Project description:Mesenchymal-epithelial interactions play a critical role in organ development, stem cells and disease. During intestinal development, pseudostratified epithelia undergo dramatic morphogenesis called villification, to form finger-like projections, in which mesenchymal cell clustering and muscle layers play a key role. In the adult, the gut mesenchyme is proposed as a key intestinal stem cell niche providing essential niche signals such as Wnt ligands, while the TGF beta signaling mediated gut stromal program is critical for cancer progression. However, how these signals are produced is currently unknown. In the gut, Hedgehog (Hh) signaling acts strictly in a paracrine manner: Hh ligands are expressed in the epithelium and activate signaling exclusively in the mesenchyme. Notably, Hh signaling is not only essential for mesenchymal clustering and muscle differentiation, it is also involved in intestinal tumorigenesis. To investigate Hh mediated mechanisms, we analyzed mice deleted for key Hh negative regulators, Sufu and/or Spop in the gut mesenchyme, and demonstrated their dosage dependent role in the negative regulation of Hh signaling. Although these mutants exhibit abnormal mesenchymal cell growth and functionally defective muscle layers, villification is completed with proper mesenchymal clustering, implying a permissive role for Hh signaling. These mesenchymal defects are partially rescued by Gli2 reduction, demonstrating the significance of its transcriptional regulation. Surprisingly, in contrast to its known inhibitory role in epithelial proliferation, abnormal Hh activation in the gut mesenchyme leads to increased epithelial proliferation. Corroborating this data, Sufu reduction is sufficient to promote intestinal tumorigenesis, while Gli2 heterozygosity suppresses it. To define GLI2-mediated downstream mechanisms, we mapped its binding sites and analyzed gene expression genome-wide, identifying one of the most robust Hh direct targetome data sets ever reported. This work reveals the GLI2 transcriptional regulation of Wnt and TGF beta pathways in stem cell proliferation and muscle differentiation, providing mechanistic insight into the intestinal stem cell niche in development and tumorigenesis.

Project description:In vitro differentiation of human ES cells into insulin-producing β-like cells offers new opportunities for pancreatic development modeling and potential diabetes therapy. However, the precise molecular events associated with this multi-stage process remain unclear. Here, we generated 95,308 single cell transcriptome data encompassing the entire differentiation process, and reconstructed a tree delineating the fate choices of all major cell populations in both endocrine and non-endocrine lineages. Most detectable genes are dynamically regulated during differentiation, and stage-specific transcription factors create the time-dependent enhancer landscapes. Interestingly, we found that many diabetes/obesity risk genes are only transiently expressed during differentiation. One example is TCF7L2, which peaked during the pancreatic progenitor stages driven by an enhancer located within a diabetes GWAS locus. From the lineage analysis, we found that the NOTCH signaling-downstream gene HES1 is one of the “switch genes” associated with the choice of non-endocrine cell fate; this led to an improved differentiation protocol for better yield of endocrine cells by adjusting the timing of NOTCH inhibition. Additionally, we discovered that ROCKII inhibitor also promotes endocrine differentiation by suppressing non-endocrine lineage. Taken together, our comprehensive single cell lineage analyses provided a valuable resource for the study of pancreatic development and disease etiology.

Project description:Cornelia de Lange syndrome (CdLS) is a rare genetic disease associated with cohesinopathy. A novel iPSC line was generated from the CdLS patient carrying a heterozygous missense point-mutation of the NIPBL gene. iPSC lines prepared from the healthy parents and the mutation-corrected isogenic cell lines are used as the respective controls. Upon differentiation into hepatocytes, the patient-derived iPSC demonstrate the capacity to express hepatocyte-specific marker transcripts and the respective proteins, however, the efficiency of differentiation is significantly inferior to those of the respective controls, demonstrated by single-cell RNA sequencing and immune-fluorescent analyses. Global change of transcriptome in the patient-derived iPSC relative to the control cells is associated with altered chromatin accessibility, assessed by RNAseq combined with ATACseq analysis. Differentially down-regulated genes in the patient-derived iPSC, in particular, are those coding for proteins related to neural differentiation and transcription factors, while up-regulated genes contain some of antisense RNA coding genes, pseudo genes and long non-coding RNAs. Some of the differentially regulated genes are consistent with the altered chromatin accessibility and this observation is consistent during hepatocyte differentiation. Thus, the mutation in the NIPBL gene of the CdLS patient could be responsible for defects of differentiation primarily due to alteration of chromatin accessibility.
