Highly cooperative chimeric super-SOX induces naïve pluripotency across species [RRBS]

ABSTRACT: Our understanding of pluripotency remains limited: iPSC generation has only been established for a few model species, pluripotent stem cell lines exhibit inconsistent developmental potential, and germline transmission demonstrated only for mice and rats. By swapping structural elements between Sox2 and Sox17, we built a chimeric super-SOX factor, Sox2-17, that enhanced iPSC generation in five tested species: mouse, human, cynomolgus monkey, cow, and pig. A swap of alanine to valine at the interface between Sox2 and Oct4 delivered a remarkable gain-of-function by stabilizing Sox2/Oct4 dimerization on DNA, enabling generation of high-grade OSKM iPSCs capable of supporting the development of healthy all-iPSC mice. Sox2/Oct4 dimerization emerged as the core driver of naïve pluripotency with its levels diminished upon priming. Transient overexpression of Sox2-17 and Klf4 (S*K cocktail) restored the dimerization and boosted the developmental potential of pluripotent stem cells across species, providing a universal method for naïve reset in mammals.

Pluripotency reprogramming by competent and incompetent POU factors uncovers temporal dependency for Oct4 and Sox2 [ATAC-Seq]

Project description:Oct4, along with Sox2 and Klf4 (SK), can induce pluripotency but structurally similar factors like Oct6 cannot. To decode why Oct4 has this unique ability, we compare Oct4-binding, accessibility patterns and transcriptional waves with Oct6 and an Oct4 mutant defective in the dimerization with Sox2 (Oct4defSox2). We find that initial silencing of the somatic program proceeds indistinguishably with or without Oct4. Oct6 mitigates the mesenchymal-to-epithelial transition and derails reprogramming. These effects are a consequence of differences in genome-wide binding, as the early binding profile of Oct4defSox2 resembles Oct4, whilst Oct6 does not bind pluripotency enhancers. Nevertheless, in the Oct6-SK condition many otherwise Oct4-bound locations become accessible but chromatin opening is compromised when Oct4defSox2 occupies these sites. We find that Sox2 predominantly facilitates chromatin opening, whilst Oct4 serves an accessory role. Formation of Oct4/Sox2 heterodimers is essential for pluripotency establishment; however, reliance on Oct4/Sox2 heterodimers declines during pluripotency maintenance.

The combined action of Esrrb and Nr5a2 is essential for naïve pluripotency.

Project description:The maintenance of pluripotency in mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs) is governed by the action of an interconnected network of transcription factors. Among them, only Oct4 and Sox2 have been shown to be strictly required for the self-renewal of ESCs and pluripotency, particularly in culture conditions where differentiation cues are chemically inhibited. Here, we report that the conjunct activity of two orphan nuclear receptors, Esrrb and Nr5a2, parallels the importance of that of Oct4 and Sox2 in naïve ESCs. By occupying a large common set of regulatory elements, these two factors control the binding of Oct4, Sox2 and Nanog to DNA. Consequently, in their absence the pluripotency network collapses and the transcriptome is substantially deregulated, leading to the differentiation of ESCs. Altogether, this work identifies orphan nuclear receptors, previously thought to be performing supportive functions, as a new set of core regulators of naïve pluripotency.

OCT6 uniquely replaces OCT4 in inducing human pluripotency

Project description:Somatic cells can be reprogrammed into pluripotent stem cells by the ectopic expression of OCT4, SOX2, KLF4, and c-MYC. Although SOX2, KLF4, and c-MYC (SKM) can be substituted by their respective family members, OCT4 is considered to not be interchangeable with any octamer-binding POU proteins. Through a screening with 102 candidate genes, here we have identified that the POU protein OCT6 (also known as SCIP, TST-1, and POU3F1), in conjunction with SKM, is capable of functionally replacing OCT4 and inducing pluripotency. OCT6-mediated reprogramming works with any human cell type, but not with mouse cells. The reprogramming process involving OCT6 is relatively inefficient and slow. This is mainly due to either inefficient formation of OCT6-SOX2 heterodimers onto canonical SOX-OCT sites or lower transactivation activity of OCT6. We demonstrate that modulating either the DNA-binding propensity or the transactivation activity of OCT6 enhances iPSC generation to the efficiency of OCT4. These results thus provide the first evidence that a POU factor other than OCT4 can induce human pluripotency.

Pluripotency factor-induced lineage conversion involves transient passage through an iPS cell stage

Project description:Brief expression of pluripotency-associated factors such as OCT4, KLF4, SOX2 and c-MYC (OKSM), in combination with differentiation-inducing signals, was reported to trigger transdifferentiation of fibroblasts into alternative cell types. Here, we show that OKSM expression gives rise to both induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) and iNSCs under conditions that were previously shown to induce only NSC transdifferentiation. Fibroblast-derived iNSC colonies silenced retroviral transgenes and reactivated silenced X chromosomes, both hallmarks of pluripotent stem cells. Moreover, lineage tracing via an Oct4-CreER labeling system demonstrated that virtually all iNSC colonies originate from cells transiently expressing Oct4, whereas ablation of Oct4-positive cells prevented iNSC formation. Lastly, use of an alternative transdifferentiation cocktail that lacks OCT4 and was reportedly unable to support induced pluripotency, yielded iPSCs and iNSCs carrying the Oct4-CreER-derived lineage label. Together, these data suggest that iNSC generation using OKSM and related reprogramming factors requires passage through a transient iPSC state. 5 samples were anlyzed in total, 2 induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), 1 neural stem cells (NSCs) and 2 induced NSCs (iNSCs)

Lastly, an alternative transdifferentiation cocktail that lacks Oct4 and was reportedly unable to support induced pluripotency yielded iPSCs and iNSCs carrying the Oct4-CreER-derived lineage label. Together, these data suggest that iNSC generation from fibroblasts using OKSM and other pluripotency-related reprogramming factors requires passage through a transient iPSC state.
