Direct Reprogramming of Human Fibroblasts into Retinal Progenitor Cells by Small Molecules to Treat Photoreceptor Degeneration

ABSTRACT: Retinal progenitor cells (RPCs) hold promise for restoring vision in advanced stages of photoreceptor degeneration. We have developed a technique to directly reprogram human Tenon's fibroblasts (HTFs) into induced RPC-like cells (iRPCs) using small molecules. To explore the transcriptomic profile of iRPCs, we performed bulk RNA-seq analysis of HTFs and FACS-sorted iRPCs. The Gene Ontology (GO) enrichment analysis demonstrated significantly highly enriched GO terms include Proteinaceous Extracellular Matrix, Axon and Dendrite, Synaptic Membrane and Transport Vesicle, Presynapse and Postsynapse, Basement Membrane and Collagen Trimer, Platelet Alpha Granule and ER Lumen. The significantly down-regulated GOs were Spindle and Chromosomal Structures, Sarcomere and Muscle Fiber Components, Cell Adhesion Complexes.

Olig2 defines subpopulations of retinal progenitor cells

Project description:Previous lineage analyses have shown that retinal progenitor cells (RPCs) are multipotent throughout development, and expression profiling studies have shown a great deal of molecular heterogeneity among RPCs. To determine if the molecular heterogeneity predicts that an RPC will produce particular types of progeny, clonal lineage analysis was used to investigate the progeny of a subset of RPCs, those that express the basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factor, Olig2. In contrast to the large and complex set of clones generated by viral marking of random embryonic RPCs, the embryonic Olig2+ RPCs underwent terminal divisions, producing small clones with primarily two of the five cell types being made by the pool of RPCs at that time. The embryonically produced cell types made by Olig2+ RPCs were cone photoreceptors and horizontal cell (HC) interneurons. Moreover, the embryonic Olig2+ RPC did not make the later Olig2+ RPC. The later, postnatal Olig2+ RPCs also made terminal divisions, which were biased towards production of rod photoreceptors and amacrine cell (AC) interneurons. These data indicate that the multipotent progenitor pool is made up of distinctive types of RPCs, which have biases towards producing subsets of retinal neurons in a terminal division, with the types of neurons produced varying over time. This strategy is similar to that of the developing Drosophila melanogaster ventral nerve cord, with the Olig2+ cells behaving as ganglion mother cells. Single retinal cells were isolated in tubes containing lysis buffer, their mRNAs were reverse transcribed, and the resulting cDNAs were PCR amplified for 35 cycles. Labeled cDNA samples were hybridized to Affymetrix 430 2.0 microarrays and the data was normalized using MAS5.0 software. These cells were examined for the expression of Olig2 or other bHLH factors.

LNGFR- and Thy-1-based prospective isolation of human mesenchymal stem cells reveals functionally distinct subpopulations.

Project description:Human multipotent mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), isolated based on their adherence to plastic, show poor growth and differentiation and frequently contain contaminating cells, which limits to clarify their own characteristics. In this study, the identification of two cell surface markers, LNGFR and Thy-1, allowed the prospective isolation of highly purified clonogenic human MSCs. Furthermore, single cell sorting assays followed by in vitro expansion revealed three distinct MSC subpopulations: rapidly-, moderately- and slowly proliferating MSC clones (RPCs, MPCs and SPCs, respectively). While RPCs exhibited robust multilineage differentiation and self-renewal potency, MPCs and SPCs contained a majority of senescent cells and exhibited frequent genome errors. Single cell sorting assays followed by in vitro expansion revealed three distinct MSC subpopulations: rapidly-, moderately- and slowly proliferating MSC clones (RPCs, MPCs and SPCs, respectively). Sample: RPC, MPC and SPC (n=3).

K6-Linked Ubiquitylation Marks Formaldehyde-Induced RNA–Protein Crosslinks for Resolution

Project description:Reactive aldehydes are produced by normal cellular metabolism or after alcohol consumption, and accumulate in human tissues if aldehyde clearance mechanisms are impaired. Their toxicity has been attributed to the damage they cause to genomic DNA and the subsequent inhibition of transcription and replication. However, whether interference with other cellular processes contributes to aldehyde toxicity has not been investigated. We demonstrate that formaldehyde induces RNA–protein crosslinks (RPCs) that stall the ribosome and inhibit translation in human cells. RPCs in the messenger RNA are recognized by the translating ribosomes, marked by atypical K6-linked ubiquitylation catalyzed by the RING-in-Between-RING E3 ligase RNF14, and subsequently resolved by the ubiquitin- and ATP-dependent unfoldase VCP. Our findings uncover an evolutionary conserved formaldehyde-induced stress response pathway that protects cells against RPC accumulation in the cytoplasm, and suggest that RPCs contribute to the cellular and tissue toxicity of reactive aldehydes.

Origin of kidney papillary tumors from renal progenitors

Project description:Purpose: Using single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNAseq), Young et al. (Science, 2018, PMID 30093597) recently identified a canonical cancer transcriptome as the possible cell of origin of papillary renal cell carcinoma (pRCC) that matched a rare proximal convoluted tubular cell population characterized as VCAM1+ SLC17A3+ SLC7A13-, a cell cluster signature defined as PT1. The goal of this study is to compare pRCC transcriptome to human renal progenitor cell (RPC) transcriptome. Methods: To compare the pRCC cells with PT1 features to our RPC population, we analyzed Young pRCC scRNAseq data set together with scRNAseq data obtained from human RPC cultures. Results: The PT1 signature that characterizes the cell of origin of pRCC identifies a RPC cluster. Conclusions: These results suggest that the cell of origin of pRCC corresponds to RPCs.

RNA sequencing of E15.5 retinal tissue from control and Lhx2 CKO mice

Project description:Lhx2 is a retinal progenitor cell transcription factor critical for eye development. We previously reported that conditional inactivation of Lhx2 at the start of mouse retinal neurogenesis disrupted retinal progenitor cell (RPC) proliferation, greatly reduced the RPC pool and altered neurogenic output as indicated by changes in the production of multiple fated precursor populations. To identify genes whose expression levels are dependent on Lhx2 at this stage of development, Lhx2 conditional inactivation was initiated at E11.5 in RPCs with the progenitor Cre driver Hes1CreERT2 and retinal tissue was collected at E15.5 for RNA sequencing. The gene expression profiles of Lhx2 CKO retinas were compared to control (Lhx2 conditional heterozygotes) were compared. Downregulated and upregulated gene expression was observed, with some likely due to direct and indirect regulation by Lhx2 within RPCs and others due to changes in differentiation and the altered neurogenic output.

Identification of differential expressed genes among P-RPC, rESC-RPC1 and rESC-RPC2 through genome-wide transcript profiling

Project description:Degenerative retinal diseases like age-related macular degeneration (AMD) are the leading cause of blindness. Cell transplantation showed promising therapeutic effect for such diseases, and retinal progenitor cell (RPC) derived from embryonic stem cell (ESC) is one of the sources of such donor cells. Here, we established two protocols through which two types of rat ESC-derived RPCs (rESC-RPCs) were obtained and both contained some NPCs and committed retina lineage cells. As P-RPCs have been reported to successfully integrate into host eyes, we sough to identify differentially expressed genes among P-RPCs, rESC-RPC1s and rESC-RPC2s through genome-wide transcript profiling. rESC-RPC2 can integrate into the host retina, form synaptic connections and restore visual function after transplanted into the degenerative retinal disease model RCS rat.

MicroRNAs miR-25, let-7 and miR-124 regulate the neurogenic potential of Müller glia in mice [NanoString]

Project description:In order to identify the miRNAs in postnatal day 2 (P2) retinal progenitor cells (RPCs), and P8, P11, and adult Müller glia (MG) of the neural retina, we isolated the retinal progenitors from Sox2-CreER: Stopf/f-tdTomato and MG from Rlbp-CreER: Stopf/f-tdTomato mice by means of fluorescent activated cell sorting and analyzed their miRNAs using NanoStrings Technologies®. We next compared miRNA expression of RPCs with MG. We found that most specific miRNAs decline with glial maturation (RPC miRNAs) while others increase (MG miRNAs). Overexpression of miRNA-25 found in RPCs and inhibition of MG miRNA let-7 can induce a neurogenic potential in MG and initiates a de novo differentiation toward neuronal fates.

MicroRNAs miR-25, let-7 and miR-124 regulate the neurogenic potential of Müller glia in mice [RNA-Seq]

Project description:Müller glial cells (MG) generate retinal progenitor (RPC)-like cells after injury in non-mammalian species, though this does not occur in the mammalian retina. Studies have profiled gene expression in these cells to define genes that may be relevant to their differences in neurogenic potential. However, less is known about differences in micro-RNA (miRNA) expression. In this study, we compared miRNAs from RPCs and MG to identify miRNAs more highly expressed in RPCs, and others more highly expressed in MG. To determine whether these miRNAs are relevant to the difference in neurogenic potential between these two cell types, we tested them in dissociated cultures of MG using either mimics or antagomiRs to increase or reduce expression, respectively. Among the miRNAs tested, miR-25 and miR-124 over-expression, or let-7 antagonism, induced Ascl1 expression and conversion of approximately 40% of mature MG into a neuronal/RPC phenotype. Our results suggest that the differences in miRNA expression between MG and RPCs contribute to their difference in neurogenic potential and that manipulations in miRNAs provide a new tool to reprogram MG for retinal regeneration.

RNA-seq analysis of vehicle and DOPPA-treated human cord blood CD34+ cells

Project description:In this study, we did RNA-sequencing analysis to check the transcriptome of vehicle and DOPPA-treated CD34+ cells after 4 days ex-vivo culture. We noticed that expression of many genes which encode cell surface proteins including ITGA6 (CD49f) were significantly up-regulated, FDR-adjusted p-value < 0.01 and the fold change (FC) > 2, by DOPPA treatment. Gene ontology (GO) analysis revealed that many GO functions related to cell surface or plasma membrane related GOs which all include ITGA6 were significantly enriched in up-regulated differentially expressed genes (DEGs) including ITGA6 after DOPPA treatment. These data suggest that DOPPA treatment promotes transcription of ITGA6.
