Project description:We analyzed the genome-wide chromatin states in Zscan4 positive ES cells (Em+) and Zscan4 negative ES cells (Em-) by using FACS-sorted MC1-ZE7 ES cells. H3K27 hyperacetylation and DNA demethylation were detected in heterochromatic regions of Em+ cells. These results suggested that the heterochromatin is activated in Zscan4 positive state.

Project description:By using FACS-sorted MC1-ZE7 ES cells, we analyzed the genome-wide distribution of H3K27ac and DNA methylation in Zscan4 positive ES cells (Em+) and Zscan4 negative ES cells (Em-). H3K27 hyperacetylation and DNA demethylation were detected in heterochromatic regions of Em+ cells, but not Em- cells. These results suggested that the Zscan4 state takes "open" chromatin conformation in ES cells. H3K27ac in Zscan4 positive and negative cells

Project description:We analyzed the genome-wide DNA methylation in Zscan4 overexpressing ES cells. Zscan4 overexpression induced slight DNA demethylation in telomere and major satellite regions. Subsequent genome-wide analysis of non-repeated regions revealed the significant reduction of DNA methylation at Zscan4-dependent hyperacetylation sites. This result indicates that Zscan4 is not only a marker of the Zscan4+ state of ES cells, but also indispensable for the dramatic epigenetic modifications occurring in the Zscan4+ state.

Project description:This SuperSeries is composed of the SubSeries listed below. Repetitive sequences such as telomeres, centromeres, and retrotransposons are packed in permanently-condensed and transcriptionally-silenced heterochromatin, whose maintenance is critical for the genome stability. We have recently found that mouse ES cells occasionally go through a unique cell state marked by the transient expression of Zscan4, which plays a key role in long-term genome stability. Here we report our unexpected and counterintuitive finding that the Zscan4+ state is accompanied by a Zscan4-mediated rapid activation and repression of heterochromatin: the burst of transcription from heterochromatin coincided with its transient histone hyperacetylation and DNA demethylation, the clustering of pericentromeric heterochromatin in the perinucleolar region, and the accumulation of chromatin remodeling complexes for both activation (HATs, SWI/SNF) and repression (HDACs, LSD1/KDM1A, NuRD) on heterochromatin. Overall, these findings suggest that ES cells maintain their extraordinary genome stability and immortality by transiently taking extreme measures – a usually forbidden transition to the activated state of heterochromatin.

Project description:The gold standard for examining pluripotency of stem cells is to see whether cells can contribute to entire body of animals. Here we show that the increased frequency of Zscan4 activation in mouse ES cells not only enhances, but also maintains their developmental potency in long-term cell culture. As the potency increases, even a whole animal can be produced from a single ES cell injected into 4N blastocyst at unusually high success rate. Although Zscan4-activated cells express genes that are also expressed in 2-cell stage mouse embryos, transiently Zscan4-activated state of ES cells is not associated with the high potency of ES cells. It is thus concluded that ES cells acquire higher potency by going through transient Zscan4 activation state more frequently than the regular state. Taken together, our results indicate that frequent activation of Zscan4 can rejuvenate pluripotent stem cells. Previously, we have shown that constitutive and strong expression of Zscan4 arrest the proliferation of ES cells (refs). We sought for the system to mimic the transient expression of Zscan4 and decided to use ERT2 - Tamoxifen-inducible system (refs). The system allows one to keep a transgene off in the absence of Tmx and turn on in the presence of Tmx at will (refs). We first made a plasmid construct pCAG-Zscan4-ERT2, in which ZSCAN4 ORF fused with ERT2 domain can be driven by a strong ubiquitous promoter CAG. To further investigate this, we transfected pCAG-Zscan4-ERT2 plasmid into an F1 hybrid (C57BL/6J vs. 129) ES cell line V6.5 and isolated multiple cell clones. Based on the qRT-PCR analysis of Zscan4 ORF, we found that cell clones showed a variety of Zscan4 expression levels. We selected the clone that showed the highest Zscan4 expression levels (clone #18) and a clone #2 with the background Zscan4 level.
