Colony morphology altered by Myh9 deficiency uncoupled from pluripotency

ABSTRACT: The naïve mouse embryonic stem cells, characterized by high nuclear/cytoplasmic ratio, and dome-shaped colonies with smoothly contoured edges, exhibit self-renewal and pluripotency. However, it is unclear about the biological significance of dome-like morphology in relation to pluripotency. Here, we generate stable ES cell lines with a flat morphology, capable of sustained monolayer growth and efficient single-cell clonogenic capacity, by knocking out non-muscle myosin heavy chain IIA. Notably, even when deprived of the typical dome-like colony morphology, the ES cells retain their self-renewal capacity and pluripotency to differentiate into the three germ layers. Our data disprove the long-standing paradigm in stem cell field that the dome-shaped colony architecture is intrinsically linked to naïve pluripotency, instead demonstrating that core pluripotency circuitry operates independently of this morphological constraint.

Establishment of Bovine Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells

Project description:Pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) have been successfully developed in many species. However, generating bovine induced pluripotent stem cells (biPSCs) has been challenging. Here we report the generation of biPSCs by overexpression of lysine-specific demethylase 4A (KDM4A) and repro-gramming factors OCT4, SOX2, KLF4, cMYC, LIN28, and NANOG (KdOSKMLN). These biPSCs exhibited silenced transgene expression at passage 10, and had prolonged self-renewal capacity for over 70 passages. The biPSCs have flat, primed-like PSC colony morphology in combined me-dia of knockout serum replacement (KSR) and mTeSR, but switched to dome-shaped, naïve-like PSC colony morphology in mTeSR medium and 2i/LIF with single cell colonization capacity. These cells have comparable proliferation rate to the reported primed- or naïve-state human PSCs, with three-germ layer differentiation capacity and normal karyotype. Transcriptome analysis revealed a high similarity of biPSCs to reported bovine embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and embryos. The naïve-like biPSCs can be incorporated into mouse embryos, with the extended capacity of in-tegration into extra-embryonic tissues. Finally, 24.6% cloning efficiency could be achieved in nu-clear transfer (NT) experiment using late passage biPSCs as nuclear donors. Our report represents a significant advance in the establishment of bovine PSCs.

Nuclear actin tunes ERK activity to promote somatic cell reprogramming into pluripotency

Project description:Yamanaka reprogramming is a stochastic process resulting in only a small fraction of somatic cells successfully converting into iPSCs. The molecular and cellular basis underlying this stochasticity remains elusive. Here we demonstrate that this stochasticity can be eliminated when ERK activity is tuned within a narrow range. This tuning can be accomplished by one tenth the concentration of MEK inhibitor in the 2i media. In the absence of pharmacologic ERK inhibition, cells fine tune ERK by morphological changes, growing taller by allocating more actin into their nucleus. A minimal cell height of 10 m is required for pluripotency, a cell geometric feature underlying the “dome-shaped” colony morphology of naïve pluripotent stem cells. Nuclear actin tunes ERK activity by binding to and immobilizing TFII-I, a transcription factor that binds and mediates ERK’s nuclear activation. This work uncovers a mechanistic link for how cell morphology controls cell identity. Insights into these fundamentally coupled processes provide effective approaches to overcome the stochasticity in reprogramming into pluripotency.

Cell-type-specific functionality encoded within the intrinsically disordered regions of OCT4.

Project description:The cell-type-specific function of transcription factors (TFs) is crucial for determining several cellular identities. It is unclear how a single TF can function specifically in different cell types. Here, we define the molecular features that enable OCT4 to reprogram somatic cells into pluripotent or trophoblast stem cells, maintain the self-renewal of embryonic stem (ES) cells, and drive lineage commitment during early embryonic development. Embedded within the intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) of OCT4, we uncover short linear peptides that are essential for reprogramming (SLiPERs) but dispensable for ES self-renewal. SLiPERs adopt a quasi-ordered state and, during reprogramming, recruit a unique set of proteins to closed chromatin that are unnecessary for ES self-renewal. Interestingly, SLiPERs are not required during early gastrulation but are essential for embryos to develop beyond late gastrulation. Removing SLiPERs leads to aberrant OCT4 binding, derailing the regular transition of ES cells out of pluripotency. Our findings identify modules within IDRs that contribute to the functional versatility and specificity of TFs.

Derivation of Human Naïve Pluripotent Stem Cells by Activation of YAP

Project description:Expression profiling of Naïve and Primed hESCs using Illumina HT-12 v.4 expression BeadChip We report that over-expression of the transcription factor YAP in male and female human ESCs and iPSCs promotes the generation of naïve PSCs. YAP-induced naïve PSCs have a naïve-specific dome-like colony morphology, rapid clonal growth rate for more than 70 passages, normal karyotype, expression of pluripotency markers and ability to form teratomas. Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) can substitute for YAP to generated transgene-free human naïve PSCs. We performed microarray analyses on hESCs and hIPSCs in primed and naïve ESC media and show that YAP overexpressing cells in naïve media (Ying et al 2008, Ludwig et al 2006, Theunnissen 2014) display a distinct naïve-like transcriptional profile and other hallmarks of the naïve state. These results uncover an unexpected role for YAP in the transition to the human naïve state, and provide a platform in which to further dissect this transition and probe early human embryology.

Conversion of murine extraembryonic trophoblast stem cells into induced pluripotent stem cells

Project description:Extraembryonic trophoblast stem cells (TSC) can be converted to induced pluripotent stem cells (TSC-iPSCs) by overexpressing Oct4, Sox2, Klf4 and cMyc. TSC lines were derived from mice harboring a doxycycline inducible Oct4 allele and an Oct4-GFP reporter that has been demonstrated to be activated in cells upon acquisition of pluripotency. Oct4-GFP-positive blastocysts were collected at 3.5 dpc and transduced with lentiviruses encoding doxycycline inducible Sox2, Klf4 and cMyc transgenes (4FTSC). 4FTSC lines were passaged 10 times to establish a population of constantly growing, self-renewing TSCs in the presence of FGF4 and fibroblast conditioned media. To induce lineage conversion, 4FTSCs were cultured under ESC/Lif conditions and doxycycline. After 28 days, several colonies displaying ESC-characteristic dome-shaped colony morphology and bright Oct4-GFP fluorescence could be detected. The 4FTSC-derived colonies were isolated mechanically, dissociated by trypsinization, and plated onto MEFs in ESC medium without doxycycline demonstrating the independence of exogenous factors. They will be called TSC-iPSCs (Trophoblast stem cell derived induced pluripotent stem cells). To examine if the extraembryonic lineage-specific mRNA profile was overcome, the gene-expression profiles of TSC-iPSCs and their parental 4FTSCs were analyzed by microarray analyses and compared to control ESCs.

DNA-binding pluripotency factors and DNA demethylases can cooperate to maintain pluripotent stem cell identity even in the absence of Brd4 [RNA-seq]

Project description:Histone acetylation and the acetyl-lysine reader Brd4 have recently been implicated in embryonic stem cell (ESC) proliferation and self-renewal. We found that naïve pluripotent ESCs exhibit increased incorporation of glucose-derived carbons onto acetylated histones and elevations in H3K9ac and Brd4 recruitment at pluripotency gene promoters. Surprisingly, both H3K9 acetyltransferases, GCN5 and PCAF, and Brd4 recruitment were dispensable for proliferation, self-renewal and pluripotency of naïve ESCs. Naïve ESCs maintain gene expression by stabilizing Mediator at core pluripotency genes in a Brd4-independent manner. Brd4-independent proliferation could also be achieved in metastable ESCs by overexpression of pluripotency transcription factors. Under all conditions, self-renewal required the DNA methylcytosine oxidases Tet1 and Tet2. These data reveal that there is minimal dependence on Brd4 for self-renewal of naïve ESCs. Instead, the relative levels of DNA methylation and transcription factor abundance determine the requirement for bromodomain recognition of histone acetylation to the maintenance of stem cell identity.

Chromatin immunoprecipitation of Oct4, Nanog and Suz12 in human and mouse embryonic stem cells to identify promoters for miRNAs

Project description:Understanding the transcriptional regulatory circuitry responsible for pluripotency and self-renewal in embryonic stem (ES) cells is fundamental to understanding human development and realizing the therapeutic potential of these cells. The transcription factor Oct4 and the chromatin-modifying Polycomb complex, key regulators of ES cell pluripotency and self-renewal, contribute to positive and negative control of a known set of protein-coding genes. MicroRNAs (miRNAs), non-coding transcripts that participate in post-transcriptional gene regulation are also important for normal pluripotency and self-renewal in ES cells, but there has been no systematic investigation of how miRNA expression is controlled by transcriptional regulators of ES cell identity. Here we identify promoters for miRNAs in the human and mouse genomes and describe the subset of these genes that are under the control of Oct4 and Polycomb in ES cells. We find that the majority of miRNAs that are uniquely or preferentially expressed in ES cells are bound by and dependent on Oct4. Oct4 also occupies a set of miRNA genes that are co-occupied by the Polycomb Group protein, Suz12. These miRNAs, repressed in ES cells, are later expressed in differentiated cells in a highly tissue-specific fashion, suggesting that they may contribute to cell-fate determinations. These data reveal how the core transcriptional regulatory circuitry of ES cells controls the miRNA expression program that contributes to pluripotency and self-renewal.

Fgf and Esrrb integrate epigenetic and transcriptional networks that regulate self-renewal of Trophoblast Stem Cells

Project description:Esrrb is a transcription factor implicated in embryonic stem (ES) cell self-renewal, yet its knockout causes intrauterine lethality due to defects in trophoblast development. Here we show that in trophoblast stem (TS) cells, Esrrb is a downstream target of fibroblast growth factor (Fgf) signalling and is critical to drive TS cell self-renewal. In contrast to its occupancy of pluripotency-associated loci in ES cells, Esrrb sustains the stemness of TS cells by direct binding and regulation of TS cell-specific transcription factors including Elf5 and Eomes. To elucidate the mechanisms whereby Esrrb controls the expression of its targets, we characterized its TS cell-specific interactome by mass spectrometry. Unlike in ES cells, Esrrb interacts in TS cells with the histone demethylase Lsd1 and with the RNA Polymerase II-associated Integrator complex. Our findings provide new insights into both, the general and context-dependent wiring of transcription factor networks in stem cells by master transcription factors.
