MicroRNA signatures of iPSCs and endoderm-derived tissues

ABSTRACT: MicroRNAs (miRNAs), small non-coding RNAs that fine-tune gene expression, play multiple roles in the cell, including cell fate specification. We have analyzed the differential expression of miRNAs during fibroblast reprogramming into induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) and endoderm induction in iPSCs upon treatment with high concentrations of Activin-A in reduced serum. During reprogramming, adult mouse fibroblasts are converted into cells that resemble embryonic stem cells (ESCs) according to standard molecular and functional assays for pluripotency. The reprogrammed iPSCs assume an ESC-like miRNA signature, marked by the strong induction of pluripotency clusters miR-290-295 and miR-302/367 and conversely the downregulation of the let-7 family. On the other hand, endoderm induction in iPSCs results in the upregulation of 13 miRNAs. Given that the liver and the pancreas are common derivatives of the endoderm, the comparison of the expression levels of these 13 upregulated miRNAs with those in hepatocytes and pancreatic islets suggests a trend of miRNA upregulation in the endoderm tending towards an islet phenotype rather than that of a hepatocyte. These observations provide insights into how differentiation may be guided more efficiently towards the endoderm and further into the liver or pancreas. Moreover, we also report novel miRNAs enriched for each of the cell types analyzed.

Global gene expression analyses of paused iPSCs

Project description:Low Klf4 expression reproducibly gives rise to a homogeneous population of partially reprogrammed iPSCs. Upregulation of Klf4 allows these cells to resume reprogramming, indicating that they are paused iPSCs that remain on the path towards pluripotency. Paused iPSCs with different Klf4 expression levels remain at distinct intermediate stages of reprogramming.

The Type I interferon response impairs differentiation potential of pluripotent stem cells [RT-qPCR]

Project description:Upon virus infection,pluripotent stem cells neither induce nor respond to canonical Type I interferons (IFN-I). To better understand this biology,we characterized induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) as well as their differentiated parental or re-derived counterparts. We confirmed that only iPSCs failed to respond to viral RNA,Type I interferon (IFN-I),or viral infection. This lack of response could be phenocopied in fibroblasts with the expression of a reprogramming factor which repressed the capacity to induce canonical antiviral pathways. To ascertain the consequences of restoring the antiviral response in the context of pluripotency,we engineered a system to engage these defenses in iPSCs. Inducible expression of a recombinant virus-activated transcription factor resulted in the successful reconstitution of antiviral defenses through the direct upregulation of IFN-I stimulated genes. Induction of the antiviral signature in iPSCs,even for a short duration,resulted in the dysregulation of genes associated with all three germ layers despite maintaining pluripotency markers. Trilineage differentiation of these same cells showed that engagement of the antiviral defenses compromised ectoderm and endoderm formation and dysregulated the development of mesodermal sublineages. In all,these data suggest that the temporal induction of the antiviral response primes iPSCs away from pluripotency and induces numerous aberrant gene products upon differentiaton. Together these results suggest that the IFN-I system and pluripotency may be incompatible with each other and thus explain why stem cells do not utilize the canonical antiviral system.

Deterministic direct reprogramming of somatic cells to pluripotency [Microarray/Expression]

Project description:Somatic cells can be directly reprogrammed to pluripotency by exogenous expression of transcription factors, classically Oct4, Sox2, Klf4 and c-Myc. While distinct types of somatic cells can be reprogramed with varying efficiencies and by different modified reprogramming protocols, induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) induction remains inefficient and stochastic where a fraction of the cells converts into iPSCs. The nature of rate limiting barrier(s) preventing majority of cells to convert into iPSCs remains elusive. Here we show that neutralizing Mbd3, a core member of the Mbd3/NURD co-repressor and chromatin-remodeling complex, results in deterministic and synchronized reprogramming of multiple differentiated cell types to pluripotency. 100% of Mbd3 depleted mouse and human somatic cells convert into iPSCs after seven days of reprogramming factor induction. Our findings delineate a critical pathway blocking the reestablishment of pluripotency, and offer a novel platform for future dissection of epigenetic dynamics leading to iPSC formation at high resolution. Samples include Mbd3+/+, Mbd3flox/- and Mbd3-/- cells from mouse ES cells and mouse embryonic fibroblast (MEF) before and after DOX induction (initiating reprogramming by OSKM factors).

Gata6 potently initiates reprogramming of pluripotent and differentiated cells to extraembryonic endoderm stem cells [time-course microarray]

Project description:Transcription factor-mediated reprogramming is a powerful method to study cell fate changes. In this work, we demonstrate that the transcription factor Gata6 can initiate reprograming of multiple cell types to induced extraembryonic endoderm (iXEN) cells. Intriguingly, Gata6 is sufficient to drive iXEN cells from mouse pluripotent cells and differentiated neural cells. Furthermore, GATA6 induction in human ES (hES) cells also downregulates pluripotency gene expression and upregulates extraembryonic endoderm genes, revealing a conserved function in mediating this cell fate switch. Profiling transcriptional changes following Gata6 induction in mES cells reveals step-wise pluripotency factor disengagement, with initial repression of Nanog and Esrrb, then Sox2 and finally Oct4, alongside step-wise activation of extraembryonic endoderm genes. Chromatin immunoprecipitation and subsequent high-throughput sequencing analysis shows Gata6 enrichment near both pluripotency and endoderm genes, suggesting that Gata6 functions as both a direct repressor and activator. Together this demonstrates that Gata6 is a versatile and potent reprogramming factor that can act alone to drive a cell fate switch from diverse cell types. Time-course microarray analysis of Gata6-mediated reprogramming from 12 to 144 hours of doxycycline treatment in mouse embryonic stem (mES) cells compared to uninduced mES cells, embryo-derived extraembryonic endoderm (XEN) cells and Sox7 overexpressing mES cells after 144 hours of doxycycline treatment.

Characterization of Human Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell Lines Derived from Neonatal and Adult Human Dermal Fibroblasts

Project description:Somatic cells can be reprogrammed to Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells (iPSCs) by expressing four transcription factors, Oct4, Sox2, Klf4 and c-Myc. Co-expressing Rarg (retinoic acid receptor gamma) and Lrh-1 (liver receptor homolog 1, Nr5a2) with the four factors greatly accelerated reprogramming so that reprogramming of mouse embryonic fibroblast cells (MEFs) to ground state iPSCs requires only four days’ induction of these six factors. The six-factor combination readily reprogrammed primary human neonatal and adult fibroblast cells to exogenous-factor-independent iPSCs, which resembled ground state mouse ES cells in growth properties, gene expression and signalling dependency. Our findings demonstrate that signalling through RARs has critical roles in molecular reprogramming and the synergistic interaction between Rarg and Lrh1 directs reprogramming towards ground state pluripotency.

Deterministic direct reprogramming of somatic cells to pluripotency [RRBS]

Project description:Somatic cells can be directly reprogrammed to pluripotency by exogenous expression of transcription factors, classically Oct4, Sox2, Klf4 and c-Myc. While distinct types of somatic cells can be reprogramed with varying efficiencies and by different modified reprogramming protocols, induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) induction remains inefficient and stochastic where a fraction of the cells converts into iPSCs. The nature of rate limiting barrier(s) preventing majority of cells to convert into iPSCs remains elusive. Here we show that neutralizing Mbd3, a core member of the Mbd3/NURD co-repressor and chromatin-remodeling complex, results in deterministic and synchronized reprogramming of multiple differentiated cell types to pluripotency. 100% of Mbd3 depleted mouse and human somatic cells convert into iPSCs after seven days of reprogramming factor induction. Our findings delineate a critical pathway blocking the reestablishment of pluripotency, and offer a novel platform for future dissection of epigenetic dynamics leading to iPSC formation at high resolution. Reduced representation bisulfite sequencing (RRBS) was applied to mouse iPS cells and mouse embryonic fibroblast (MEF) before and after DOX induction (initiating reprogramming by OSKM factors) from randomly selected Mbd3+/+ and Mbd3flox/- clonal cell line series. Polyclonal donor cell cultures were harvested at days 0,4 and 8 after DOX reprogramming without selection or sorting for any marker or passaging, and mapped for similarity to subcloned iPSC lines.

On-chip neural induction boosts neural stem cell commitment: toward a pipeline for iPSC-based therapies

Project description:The clinical translation of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) holds great potential for personalized therapeutics. However, the current workflow to generate iPSCs is expensive, time-consuming, and requires standardization. We present a simplified microfluidic approach for reprogramming fibroblasts into iPSCs and their subsequent differentiation into neural stem cells (NSCs). Our method exploits microphysiological technology, providing a 100-fold reduction in reagents for reprogramming and a 9-fold reduction in number of input cells. The iPSCs generated from microfluidic reprogramming of fibroblasts show upregulation of pluripotency markers and downregulation of fibroblast markers, on par with those reprogrammed in the standardized well-conditions. The NSCs differentiated in microfluidic chips show upregulation of neuroectodermal markers (ZIC1, PAX6, SOX1), highlighting their propensity for nervous system development. We then compare the cells obtained on conventional well plates and microfluidic chips for reprogramming and neural induction by bulk RNA sequencing. Pathway enrichment analysis of NSCs generated in the chip showed neural stem cell development enrichment and boosted commitment to the neural stem cell lineage in the initial phases of neural induction, attributed to the confined environment in a microfluidic chip. This method provides a cost-effective pipeline to reprogram and differentiate iPSCs which can be made compliant with the current good manufacturing practices for therapeutics.
