Two distinct waves of transcriptome and translatome remodelling drive germline stem cell differentiation

ABSTRACT: Development and tissue maintenance require a supply of new cells, which are generated by division of stem cells and then specialised to perform their function. The differentiation process requires the tight control of gene expression, but this has been challenging to study in a systematic manner in adult stem cells, which are sparsely distributed in tissues. We have overcome these limitations by establishing a robust protocol to synchronise Drosophila female germline stem cell (GSC) differentiation in vivo, allowing us to perform transcriptome and translatome analyses at high temporal resolution during differentiation. As well as observing dynamic changes in mRNA level, promoter usage and exon inclusion, our data reveal that changing translation efficiency is the predominant regulatory mechanism during GSC differentiation. Indeed, changes in mRNA level are frequently buffered by changes in translation efficiency, including the translational repression of transcripts that will only be translated later during oocyte maturation or embryo development. Contrary to the expected linear accumulation of changes from stem cell to differentiated cell, our data reveal that differentiation occurs through two distinct waves of changes in both the transcriptome and translatome level.

Effect of N1-acetylspermidine treatment on the translatome of hair follicle stem cell organoid cultures

Project description:Stem cell differentiation has been shown to involve an increase in mRNA translation. Amongst others, the rate of translation is influenced by availability of the natural polyamines putrescine, spermidine, and spermine that are essential for cell growth and modulate stem cell maintenance. However, the link between polyamines and translation in cell fate decisions remains obscure. Here, we used hair follicle stem cell (HFSC) organoids to study the role of polyamines as key regulators of mRNA translation in stem cell fate decisions. HFSCs showed lower translation and reduced polyamine levels than progenitor cells. Surprisingly, we found that reduced translation achieved by changed polyamine availability and stemness do not correlate in the organoids. We identified N1-acetylspermidine as regulator of cell fate decisions. To investigate the effect on translation upon N1-AcSpd supplementation, we performed ribosome foot pronting. We confirmed the increase in proliferation identified by 3'RNA-sequencing on the translatome level. N1-AcSpd treatment partially aligns the translatome of progenitor cells to that of HFSCs. Overall, this study delineates the diverse routes of polyamine metabolism-mediated regulation of stem cell fate decisions.

Prostate cancer resistance leads to a global deregulation of translation factors and unconventional translation

Project description:Using a newly generated enzalutamide-resistant prostate cancer model, we characterized alterations in the translatome during prostate cancer enzalutamide resistance acquisition. We show a discordance between the translatome and transcriptome of drug-resistant cells, a deregulation of proteins involved in translation and an overall decrease in translational efficiency upon resistance acquisition. Interestingly, long non-coding RNAs show higher translation efficiency in enzalutamide-resistant cells, and a strong correlation with poor patient prognosis. Taken together, this suggests that aberrant translation of coding and non-coding genes are strong indicators of PCa enzalutamide-resistance.

Transcription profiling of Drosophila ovaries from bam mutant and stwl bam double mutant females

Project description:Abstract: During Drosophila oogenesis, germline stem cell (GSC) identity is maintained largely by preventing the expression of factors that promote differentiation. This is accomplished via the activity of several genes acting either in the GSC or its niche. The translational repressors, Nanos and Pumilio, act in GSCs to prevent differentiation, likely by inhibiting translation of early differentiation factors, while niche signals prevent differentiation by silencing transcription of the differentiation factor Bam. We have found that the DNA-associated protein Stonewall (Stwl) is also required for GSC maintenance. stwl is required cell-autonomously; clones of stwl- germ cells were lost by differentiation, and ectopic Stwl caused an expansion of GSCs. stwl mutants acted as Suppressors of Variegation, indicating stwl normally acts in chromatin-dependent gene repression. In contrast to several previously described GSC maintenance factors, Stwl likely functions epigenetically to prevent GSC differentiation. Stwl-dependent transcriptional repression does not target bam, but rather Stwl represses the expression of many genes, including those that may be targeted by Nanos/Pumilio translational inhibition. Experiment Overall Design: Genetic variation comparison between germ cells of Drosophila ovaries from bam mutant and stwl bam double mutant females. Six total samples were analyzed, with each genotype performed in triplicates.

A translation control module coordinates germline stem cell differentiation with ribosome biogenesis during Drosophila oogenesis [Polysome-seq]

Project description:Ribosomal defects perturb stem cell differentiation, causing diseases called ribosomopathies. How ribosome levels control stem cell differentiation is not fully known. Here, we discovered three RNA helicases are required for ribosome biogenesis and for Drosophila oogenesis. Loss of these helicases, which we named Aramis, Athos and Porthos, lead to aberrant stabilization of p53, cell cycle arrest and stalled GSC differentiation. Unexpectedly, Aramis is required for efficient translation of a cohort of mRNAs containing a 5’-Terminal-Oligo-Pyrimidine (TOP)-motif, including mRNAs that encode ribosomal proteins and a conserved p53 inhibitor, Novel Nucleolar protein 1 (Non1). The TOP-motif co-regulates the translation of growth-related mRNAs in mammals. As in mammals, the La-related protein co-regulates the translation of TOP-motif containing RNAs during Drosophila oogenesis. Thus, a previously unappreciated TOP-motif in Drosophila responds to reduced ribosome biogenesis to co-regulate the translation of ribosomal proteins and a p53 repressor, thus coupling ribosome biogenesis to GSC differentiation.
