Project description:LIN28a is an RNA binding protein that was initially characterized for its role in the negative regulation of let-7 microRNA biogenesis. In the last years a new role in the regulation of mRNA translation has been highlighted. This mechanism seems to be particularly relevant in the exit of embryonic stem cells (ESCs) from the naïve state and in the first phases of differentiation process. We have demonstrated that in the first step of ESC differentiation, i.e. the establishment of epiblast-like-cells and the formation of neural precursors, LIN28a enhances the translation of de novo DNA methyltransferase Dnmt3a [1] and blocks that of the chromatin architectural factor Hmga2 [2]. How LIN28a fulfils these opposite functions in ESC differentiation is still unknown. Our preliminary results indicated that LIN28a contributes in several ways to guide ESC differentiation possibly by changing molecular partners and regulating different targets. To explore this idea, we have generated Lin28a KO ESCs using CRISPR-Cas9 technology to study how Lin28a contributes to ESC differentiation. We have found that Lin28a KO ESCs are not able to properly exit from the naïve state to undergo a differentiation program. This effect seems to be due to the impairment of different cellular processes. To better characterize this role in ESC fate we have analyzed the molecular interactions of LIN28a at different steps of ESC differentiation through proteomics approaches. Moreover, to identify the direct mRNA targets of LIN28a we are developing an iCLIP protocol suitable to analyze the binding of LIN28a to RNAs during ESC differentiation. These data coupled with the phenotypic and proteomics analysis will contribute to understand the emerging fundamental role of RNA binding proteins in differentiation and development.

Project description:To search for factors regulating neuronal differentiation, we performed a genome-wide loss-of-function CRISPR/Cas9 screen in haploid human ESCs. The regulators were identified by the quantification of depletion of their mutant clones within a pooled loss-of-function library upon neuronal differentiation.

Project description:Cells undergo fate transformation in response to external signaling stimuli, a process that depends on the precise expression of specific genes, but the intrinsic regulatory mechanisms remain largely unclear. Here, by integrating bulk RNA sequencing, single-cell RNA sequencing, 4D-SmartDIA quantitative proteomics data, and a CRISPR/Cas9-mediated RA receptor deletion model, we find that RA signaling-induced early ESC differentiation is multilineage. During early ESC differentiation, in the context of attenuated and enhanced RA signaling, we identified Cyp26 and HoxB cluster genes as its direct downstream targets. Upon activation of RA signaling, RA receptors induce new specific enhancers in the proximal/distal regions of cluster gene loci, whereas inhibition of RA signaling significantly reduces proximal/distal enhancer activity, chromatin accessibility and cluster gene expression. Mechanistically, we found that proximal/distal enhancers form specific chromatin loops with cluster gene loci under RA induction, and RA receptor deletion significantly reduces these chromatin interactions. Knockout of the proximal/distal enhancers inhibits cluster gene expression, thereby further disrupting RA-induced early ESC differentiation. In summary, our findings reveal an insightful mechanism underlying the signal-induced specific 3D genomic structure and cluster gene expression critical for early ESC fate transitions.
