Uniform, integration-free iPS cells with a safeguard system using human artificial chromosome vectors

ABSTRACT: Human artificial chromosomes (HACs) have unique characteristics as gene-delivery vector, e.g., episomal transmission and transfer of multiple, large transgenes. Here, we demonstrate the advantages of HAC vectors for reprogramming mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) to induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells. Two HAC vectors (iHAC1 and iHAC2) were constructed. Both carried four reprogramming factors, and iHAC2 also encoded a p53-knockdown construct (see Kazuki et al 2011). The iHAC1 partially reprogrammed MEFs, and the iHAC2 efficiently reprogrammed MEFs. Global gene expression showed that the iHACs, unlike other vectors, generated relatively uniform iPS cells. We established iHAC-free iPS cells by isolating cells that spontaneously lost the iHAC2. Analyses of pluripotent markers, teratomas, and chimeras confirmed that these iHAC-free iPS cells were pluripotent. Moreover, iHAC-free iPS cells with a re-introduced HAC encoding Herpes Simplex Virus Thymidine Kinase were eliminated by Ganciclovir treatment; therefore, the HAC safeguard system functioned in iPS cells. Thus, the HAC vector could generate uniform, integration-free iPS cells with a safeguard system.

Thus, the HAC vector could generate uniform, integration-free iPS cells with a safeguard system. Total RNA from mouse embryonic fibroblasts, two control ES cells (TT2 and B6ES), retrovirus vector-derived iPS cells (20D17), and twelve HAC-derived iPS clones were hybridized to the Agilent Whole Mouse Genome microarrays.

How C/EBPa creates an elite cell state for reprogramming to pluripotency

Project description:Mouse B cells, upon ectopic expression of the transcription factor C/EBPalpha for 18h, can be reprogrammed to induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells with extremely high efficiency. To understand the molecular control of this phenomenon we performed a time course proteomic analysis by label-free protein quantification of proteins during B cell reprogramming to iPS cells.

Transcription profiling of human induced pluripotent stem cells free of exogenous DNA are derived with episomal vectors (super series)

Project description:Human induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells have previously been derived from somatic cells using viral vectors that integrate transgenes into the genome. Genomic integration, however, can allow persistent leaky expression of the transgenes and can create insertional mutations, thus limiting the utility of these cells for both research and clinical applications. Here, we describe the derivation of human iPS cells free of vector and transgene sequences using non-integrating oriP/EBNA1-based episomal vectors. The resulting iPS cells are similar to human embryonic stem (ES) cells in both proliferative and developmental potential. These results demonstrate that reprogramming of human somatic cells does not require genomic integration or the continued presence of exogenous reprogramming factors, and removes one important obstacle to the clinical applications of these cells. This SuperSeries is composed of the following subset Series:; GSE15175: Human induced pluripotent stem cells free of exogenous DNA are derived with episomal vectors (fig 1.c); GSE15176: Human induced pluripotent stem cells free of exogenous DNA are derived with episomal vectors (fig 4.a) Experiment Overall Design: Total 21 samples were analyzed to confirm the similarity of human iPS cells derived with episomal vectors with human ES cells, and a dissimilarity with fibroblasts. Experiment Overall Design: Refer to individual Series

Global gene-expression analyses of the Esrrb reprogrammed cells

Project description:In the murine system, Oct4, Sox2, c-Myc and Klf4 are sufficient to convert fibroblasts to induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells that exhibit many characteristics of embryonic stem (ES) cells. Herein, we show that the orphan nuclear receptor Esrrb works in conjunction with Oct4 and Sox2 to mediate reprogramming of mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) to iPS cells. Esrrb reprogrammed cells share similar expression and epigenetic signatures as ES cells. These cells are also pluripotent and can differentiate in vitro and in vivo into the three major embryonic cell lineages. Furthermore, these cells contribute to mouse chimeras and are germline transmissible. In ES cells, Esrrb targets many genes involved in selfrenewal and pluripotency. This suggests that Esrrb may mediate reprogramming through the up-regulation of ES cell-specific genes. Our findings also indicate that it is possible to reprogram MEFs without exogenous Klf transcription factors and link a nuclear receptor to somatic cell reprogramming. We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression of ES cells, Esrrb reprogrammed iPS cell lines and MEFs. Keywords: comparative

Generation of induced pluripotent stem cells by efficient reprogramming of adult bone marrow cells

Project description:Reprogramming of somatic cells provides potential for the generation of specific cell types, which could be a key step in the study and treatment of human diseases. In vitro reprogramming of somatic cells into a pluripotent embryonic stem (ES) cellM-bM-^@M-^Slike state has been reported by retroviral transduction of murine fibroblasts using four embryonic transcription factors or through cell fusion of somatic and pluripotent stem cells. The generation of reprogrammed pluripotent cells using a somatic cell donor source such as bone marrow (BM) or peripheral blood is of particular therapeutic interest because of the relative ease of harvesting these cell types. Here we show that mouse adult BM mononuclear cellsM-oM-<M-^HBM MNCsM-oM-<M-^Iare competent as donor cells and can be reprogrammed into pluripotent ES cell-like cells. We isolated BM MNCs and embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) from Oct4-EGFP transgenic mice, fused them with ES cells and infected them with retroviruses expressing Oct4, Sox2, Klf4, and c-Myc. Fused BM cells formed more ES-like colonies than did MEFs. Infected BM cells gave rise to iPS cells, although transduction efficiencies were not high. It was more efficient to pick up iPS colonies as compared with MEFs. BM-derived iPS (BM iPS) cells expressed embryonic stem cell markers, formed teratomas, and contributed to chimera mice with germline development. Clonal analysis revealed that BM iPS clones had diversity, although some clones were found to be genetically identical with different phenotypes. Here we demonstrate, for the first time, the induction of pluripotent cells directly from hematopoietic tissue. Gene expression profiling was performed in mouse BMMNCs, ES and BMMNC derived iPS cell lines.

Project description:Reprogramming of somatic cells provides potential for the generation of specific cell types, which could be a key step in the study and treatment of human diseases. In vitro reprogramming of somatic cells into a pluripotent embryonic stem (ES) cell–like state has been reported by retroviral transduction of murine fibroblasts using four embryonic transcription factors or through cell fusion of somatic and pluripotent stem cells.

Comparisons between fully and partially reprogrammed iPS cells induced by pMX-Klf4, pMX-Oct4 and pMX-Sox2 retroviruses

Project description:Induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cell reprogramming is a gradual epigenetic process that reactivates the pluripotent transcriptional network by erasing and establishing heterochromatin marks. Here, we characterize the physical structure of heterochromatin domains in full and partial mouse iPS cells by correlative Electron Spectroscopic Imaging (ESI). In somatic and partial iPS cells, constitutive heterochromatin marked by H3K9me3 is highly compartmentalized into chromocenter structures of densely packed 10 nm chromatin fibers. In contrast, chromocenter boundaries are poorly defined in pluripotent ES and full iPS cells, and are characterized by unusually dispersed 10 nm heterochromatin fibers in high Nanog-expressing cells, including pluripotent cells of the mouse blastocyst prior to differentiation. This heterochromatin reorganization accompanies retroviral silencing during conversion of partial iPS cells by Mek/Gsk3 2i inhibitor treatment. Thus, constitutive heterochromatin reorganization serves as a novel biomarker with retroviral silencing for identifying iPS cells in the very late stages of reprogramming. We compared the expression profiles of partially and fully reprogrammed iPS cell lines derived from CD1 mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFSs) by retroviral reprogramming (pMX-Oct4, pMX-Klf4 and pMX-Sox2). to the differentiated MEFS and the J1 embryonic stem cell line. We also studied the effect of a 2i cocktail treatment in partially reprogrammed iPS cells.
