Project description:RNA Sequencing of H1 WT hESCs, H1 QSER1 KO hESCs, H1 TET1 KO hESCs, H1 QSER1/TET1 DKO hESCs, WT Day10 embryoid bodies (EBs), QSER1 KO Day10 EBs, TET1 KO Day10 EBs, QSER1/TET1 DKO Day10 EBs, WT pancreatic progenitors (PP1), QSER1 KO PP1, TET1 KO PP1, and QSER1/TET1 DKO PP1. DNA methylation is essential to mammalian development, and dysregulation can cause serious pathological conditions. Key enzymes responsible for deposition and removal of DNA methylation are known, but how they cooperate to tightly regulate the methylation landscape remains a central question. Utilizing a knockin DNA methylation reporter, we performed a genome-wide CRISPR/Cas screen in human embryonic stem cells to discover DNA methylation regulators. The top screen hit was an uncharacterized gene QSER1, which proved to be a key guardian of bivalent promoters and poised enhancers of developmental genes, especially those residing in DNA methylation valleys (or canyons). We further demonstrate cooperation of QSER1 and TET1 through genetic and biochemical interactions to inhibit DNMT3-mediated de novo methylation and safeguard developmental programs.

Project description:X chromosome inactivation (XCI) is a dosage compensation mechanism in female cells to regulate X-linked gene expression. We report here that subcultures from established lines of female hESCs displayed variations (0-100%) in the expression of XCI markers such as XIST RNA coating and enrichment of histone H3 lysine 27 trimethylation (H3K27me3) on inactive X chromosome. Surprisingly, regardless of the presence or absence of XCI markers in different cultures, all female hESCs we examined (H7, H9, and HSF6 cells) exhibit a mono-allelic expression pattern for a majority of X-linked genes. Our results suggest that these established female hESCs have completed XCI during the process of derivation and/or propagation, and the XCI pattern of lines we investigated is already non-random. However, XIST gene expression in subsets of female hESCs is unstable and subject to epigenetic silencing through DNA methylation. Concomitant with the loss of XCI markers including XIST expression and H3K27me3, approximately 12% of X-linked CpG islands become hypomethylated and a subset of previously silenced X-linked alleles are reactivated, resulting a significant elevation of gene expression dosage. Because changes in dosage compensation of X-linked genes could impair somatic cell function, we propose that XCI status should be routinely checked in subcultures of female hESCs, with cultures displaying XCI markers better suited for use in regenerative medicine. Keywords: Genotyping, gene expression and DNA methylation We used Affymetrix Genotyping array for looking for X-linked SNPs with HSF6, H7 and H9 genomic DNA, Agilent Gene expression array for comparing gene expression patten changes between HSF6 hESCs with X-inactiation and HSF6 hESCs without X-inactivation (3 repeats). Finally, mDIP-Chip method was used to detect X-linked CpG island methylation changes differences between hESCs with X-inactivation and hESCs without X-inactivation using Agilent CpG island array (3 repeats, and one of them has dye swap)

Project description:Genome wide DNA methylation profiling of human embryonic stem cells of hESCs undergoing neuronal differentiation at four distinct time-points. hESCs are differentiated towards neuronal cells for 13 days, and sampled for downstream analysis at day 0, 6, 10 and 13 . Cells exposed to 50, 100, 200 and 400 nM citalopram from Day 1 were charachterised at Day 6, 10 and 13. The Illumina Infinium MethylationEPIC_v-1-0_B3 was used to obtain DNA methylation profiles accross approximately 850k CpGs in differentiating cells.

Project description:The realization of human embryonic stem cells (hESC) as a model for human developmental hematopoiesis and potential cell replacement strategies relies on an improved understanding of the extrinsic and intrinsic factors regulating hematopoietic-specific hESC differentiation. Mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) are multipotent cells of mesodermal origin that form part of hematopoietic stem cell niches and have an important role in the regulation of hematopoiesis through production of secreted factors and/or cell-to-cell interactions. We have previously shown that hESCs may be successfully maintained feeder-free using hMSC-conditioned media (MSC-CM). Here, we hypothesized that hESCs maintained in MSC-CM may be more prone to differentiation towards hematopoietic lineage than hESCs grown in standard human foreskin fibroblast (HFF)-conditioned media (HFF-CM). We report that specification into hemogenic progenitors and subsequent hematopoietic differentiation and clonogenic progenitor capacity is robustly enhanced in hESC lines maintained in MSC-CM. Interestingly, co-culture of hESCs on hMSCs fully abrogates hematopoietic specification of hESCs suggesting that the improved hematopoietic differentiation is mediated by MSC-secreted factors rather than by MSC-hESC physical interactions. To investigate the molecular mechanism involved in this process, we analyzed global (LINE-1) methylation and genome-wide promoter DNA methylation. Human ESCs grown in MSC-CM showed a decrease of 20% in global DNA methylation and a promoter DNA methylation signature consisting in 45 genes commonly hypomethylated and 102 genes frequently hypermethylated. Our data indicate that maintenance of hESCs in MSC-CM robustly augments hematopoietic specification and that the process seems mediated by MSC-secreted factors conferring a DNA methylation signature to undifferentiated hESCs which may influence further predisposition towards hematopoietic specification.

Project description:It remains controversial whether human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) are distinct from human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) in their molecular signatures and differentiation properties. We examined the gene expression and DNA methylation of 49 hiPSC and 10 hESC lines and identified no molecular signatures that distinguished hiPSCs from hESCs. Comparisons of the in vitro directed neural differentiation of 40 hiPSC and four hESC lines showed that most hiPSC clones were comparable to hESCs. However, in seven hiPSC clones, significant amount of undifferentiated cells persisted even after neural differentiation and resulted in teratoma formation when transplantated into mouse brains. These differentiation-defective hiPSC clones were marked by higher expression of several genes, including those expressed from long terminal repeats of human endogenous retroviruses. These data demonstrated that many hiPSC clones are indistinguishable from hESCs, while some defective hiPSC clones need to be eliminated prior to their application for regenerative medicine. Bisulphite converted DNA from 10 hESCs, 49 hiPSCs, 2 hECCs, 6 somatic cells and 3 cancer cell lines were hybridized to the Illumina Infinium 27k Human Methylation Beadchip.
