An efficient method for generation of bi-allelic null mutant mouse embryonic stem cell lines and its application for investigating epigenetic modifiers

ABSTRACT: Mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells are a popular model system to study biological processes, though uncovering recessive phenotypes requires inactivating both alleles. Building upon resources from the International Knockout Mouse Consortium (IKMC), we developed a targeting vector for second allele inactivation in conditional-ready IKMC ‘knockout-first’ ES cell lines. We applied our technology to several epigenetic regulators, recovering bi-allelic targeted clones with a high efficiency of 60%, and used Flp recombinase to restore expression in two null cell lines to demonstrate how our system confirms causality through mutant phenotype reversion. We designed our strategy to select against re targeting the ‘knockout-first’ allele, and identify essential genes in ES cells, including the histone methyltransferase Setdb1. For confirmation, we exploited the flexibility of our system, enabling tamoxifen inducible conditional gene ablation while controlling for genetic background and tamoxifen effects. Setdb1 ablated ES cells exhibit severe growth inhibition, which is not rescued by exogenous Nanog expression or culturing in naive pluripotency ‘2i’ media, suggesting that the self-renewal defect is mediated through pluripotency network independent pathways. Our strategy to generate null mutant mouse ES cells is applicable to thousands of genes and repurposes existing IKMC Intermediate Vectors.

Timecourse gene expression microarray analysis of bi-allelic targeted Setdb1 mutant mouse ES cells, comparing cells with one inducible conditional (floxed) null allele and a second constitutive null allele, to control mouse ES cell lines.

Project description:Gene expression microarray analysis of Setdb1 inducible conditional (floxed) mutant (Setdb1^tm1c(EUCOMM)Wtsi/Setdb1^tm1Wcs) compared to control (Setdb1^tm1c(EUCOMM)Wtsi/+) ES cell lines, without 4'OHT treatment, and timecourse samples following a 48 hour 4'OHT treatment. The 4'OHT induces Cre recombination via the Rosa26CreERT2 knock-in system, to convert the tm1c conditional allele to the tm1d null allele. The Setdb1^tm1Wcs allele is a constitutive null allele. Experimental and control Setdb1 ES cells were each treated with 4’OHT for 48 hours, and gene expression was analyzed at days 0 (before treatment), 2 (end of treatment period), 3, 4, and 6 days. Three biological replicates per genotype per timepoint (individual ES clones) were performed. Parental ES cell lines are from the International Knockout Mouse Consortium (IKMC - EUCOMM and KOMP-CSD programmes) and were modified using bi-allelic gene targeting with a targeted trapping vector generated by re-purposing Intermediate Vectors from the IKMC resource.

KMT1E Mediated H3K9 Methylation Is Required for the Maintenance of Embryonic Stem Cells by Repressing Trophectoderm Differentiation

Project description:Dynamic regulation of histone methylation by methyltransferases and demethylases plays a central role in regulating the fate of embryonic stem (ES) cells. The histone H3K9 methyltransferase KMT1E, formerly known as ESET or Setdb1, is essential to embryonic development as the ablation of the Setdb1 gene results in peri-implantation lethality and prevents the propagation of ES cells. However, Setdb1- null blastocysts do not display global changes in H3K9 methylation or DNA methylation, arguing against a genome- wide defect. Here we show that conditional deletion of the Setdb1 gene in ES cells results in the upregulation of lineage differentiation markers, especially trophectoderm-specific factors, similar to effects observed upon loss of Oct3/4 expression in ES cells. We demonstrate that KMT1E deficiency in ES cells leads to a decrease in histone H3K9 methylation at and derepression of trophoblast-associated genes such as Cdx2. Furthermore, we find genes that are derepressed upon Setdb1 deletion to overlap with known targets of polycomb mediated repression, suggesting that KMT1E mediated H3K9 methylation acts in concert with polycomb controlled H3K27 methylation. Our studies thus demonstrate an essential role for KMT1E in the control of developmentally regulated gene expression programs in ES cells.

Gene expression microarray of: 1) Cbx1 null versus revertant (single allele expression), and 2) Jarid2 null versus revertant, mutant mouse ES cells.

Project description:Gene expression as measured by microarray, in order to determine the cohort of differentially expressed genes, in each of two different mutant ES cell lines (Cbx1 and Jarid2), each comparing the respective null mutant ES cells to revertant (single allele expression) mutant ES cells. Hybridization was performed concurrently. Experiments are: 1) Cbx1 null mutant (Cbx1^tm1a(EUCOMM)Wtsi/Cbx1^tm1Wcs) compared to revertant mutant (Cbx1^tm1c(EUCOMM)Wtsi/Cbx1^tm1Wcs) ES cell lines (n=6 per genotype). 2) Jarid2 null mutant (Jarid2^tm1a(KOMP)Wtsi/Jarid2tm1Wcs) compared to revertant mutant (Jarid2^tm1c(KOMP)Wtsi/Jarid2tm1Wcs) ES cell lines (n=3 per genotype). Biological replicates (individual ES clones) were used. Parental ES cell lines are from the International Knockout Mouse Consortium (IKMC - EUCOMM and KOMP-CSD programmes) and were modified to generate null ES cells using bi-allelic gene targeting with a targeted trapping vector generated by re-purposing Intermediate Vectors from the IKMC resource. Revertant ES cell lines were generated by using Flp recombinase to revert the IKMC tm1a null allele to the conditional tm1c allele, in order to reinstate gene expression from one allele. The tm1Wcs allele is constitutive null.

Zscan10 is dispensable for maintenance of pluripotency in mouse embryonic stem cells

Project description:Zinc finger and SCAN domain-containing 10 (Zscan10, also known as Zfp206) encodes a transcription factor that has been reported to be involved in the maintenance of pluripotency in mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells. Here we generated inducible knockout ES cells for Zscan10 using the Cre-loxP system and analyzed its function. We succeeded in establishing Zscan10-null ES cells and confirmed their pluripotency by the generation of chimeric embryos. Our results clearly indicate that Zscan10 is dispensable for the ability of self-renewal and differentiation in ES cells. An inducible knockout ES cell line of Zscan10 with the Cre-loxP system was generated and gene expression was measured without Zscan10 deletion or constitutive knocked out cells. Each sample was prepared in triplicate.

A chemical-induced reversible gene knockout system for studying gene function in situ [AMP-seq]

Project description:We developed a conditional conversion allele system termed CoCo. Gene knockout is achieved through Cre-mediated transcription termination, whereas gene restoration is achieved by Flp-mediated deletion of termination signal. To tightly control the temporal expression of the recombinases, Tet-On inducible system is used to drive the expression of Cre recombinase and tamoxifen-inducible FlpO-ER fusion and therefore a dual drug-inducible conditional conversion system (DDCoCo) is developed. This system provides an efficient, rapid and flexible gene switch for studying gene function.
