Project description:Decoding heterogeneity of pluripotent stem cell (PSC)-derived neural progeny is fundamental for revealing the origin of diverse progenitors, for defining their lineages, and for identifying fate determinants driving transition through distinct potencies. Here we prospectively isolated consecutively appearing PSC-derived primary progenitors based on their Notch activation state. We first isolate early neuroepithelial cells and show their broad Notch-dependent developmental and proliferative potential. Neuroepithelial cells further yield successive Notch-dependent functional primary progenitors, from early and mid neurogenic radial glia and their derived basal progenitors, to gliogenic radial glia and adult-like neural progenitors, together recapitulating hallmarks of neural stem cell (NSC) ontogeny. Gene expression profiling reveals dynamic stage specific transcriptional patterns that may link development of distinct progenitor identities through Notch activation. Our observations provide a platform for characterization and manipulation of distinct progenitor cell types amenable for developing streamlined neural lineage specification paradigms for modeling development in health and disease. Human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) H9 were differentiated into 5 distinct populations of neural precursor cells (NPCs) over a time course of 200 days. Each neural precursor populations was then sorted for HES5 expression based on a GFP-HES5 reporter. Both the HES5 positive and HES5 negative populations were then subjected to microarray profiling in singlicate, as well as the hESCs using GeneChipPrimeView Human Gene Expression Array

Project description:Notch signaling plays a pivotal role in liver development and aberrant Notch signaling may lead to hepatocellular (HCC) or cholangiocellular carcinoma (CCA) development. Using whole exome sequencing of 54 human HCC samples, we discovered 19 somatic missense mutations in 15 different Notch pathway genes affecting 24.6% (14 of 57) of patients. Prediction of functional impact of these Notch pathway mutations revealed HES5-R31G to have high relevance. We found HES5 to be strongly activated by Notch signaling. In vitro, HES5 reduced cell migration and clonogenicity and in vivo, HES5 inhibited MYC-dependent liver tumor formation. But together with AKT, HES5 increased liver tumor formation in a mouse model. HES5 directly binds to AKT and AKT expression leads to increase HES5 protein levels. Furthermore, HES5 exhibits a negative feed-back loop by inhibiting NOTCH1 and HES1 gene expression. In contrast, HES5-R31G appears to be non-functional possibly by loss of nuclear translocation

Project description:Rationale: Cardiogenesis is regulated by a complex interplay between transcription factors and chromatin-modifying enzymes. However, little is known about how these interactions regulate the transition from mesodermal precursors to cardiac progenitor cells (CPCs). Objective: To identify novel regulators of mesodermal cardiac lineage commitment. Methods and Results: We performed a bioinformatic-based transcription factor-binding site analysis on upstream promoter regions of genes that are enriched in ES cell-derived CPCs. From 32 candidate transcription factors screened, we found that YY1, a repressor of sarcomeric gene expression, is present in CPCs in vivo. Interestingly, we uncovered the ability of YY1 to transcriptionally activate Nkx2.5, a key marker of early cardiogenic commitment. YY1 regulates Nkx2.5 expression via a 2.1 kb cardiac-specific enhancer as demonstrated by in vitro luciferase-based assays and in vivo chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) and genome-wide sequencing analysis. Furthermore, the ability of YY1 to activate Nkx2.5 expression depends on its cooperative interaction with GATA4 at a nearby chromatin. Cardiac mesoderm-specific loss-of-function of YY1 resulted in early embryonic lethality. This was corroborated in vitro by ES cell-based assays where we show that the over-expression of YY1 enhanced the cardiogenic differentiation ES cells into CPCs in a cell autonomous manner. Conclusion: These results demonstrate an essential and unexpected role for YY1 to promote cardiogenesis as a transcriptional activator of Nkx2.5 and other CPC-enriched genes. We report the identification of putative YY1 target genes in cardiac progenitor cells (CPCs). Two samples of independently FACS-purified eGFP+ CPCs were examined against the input.

Project description:Mouse embryonic stem cells can differentiate in vitro into spontaneously contracting cardiomyocytes. The main objective of this study was to investigate cardiogenesis in cultures of differentiating embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and to determine how closely it mimics in vivo cardiac development. We identified and isolated a population of cardiac progenitor cells (CPCs) through the use of a reporter DNA construct that allowed the expression of a selectable marker under the control of the Nkx2.5 enhancer. We proceeded to characterize these CPCs by examining their capacity to differentiate into cardiomyocytes and to proliferate. We then performed a large-scale temporal microarray expression analysis in order to identify genes that are uniquely upregulated or downregulated in the CPC population. We determined that the transcriptional profile of the mESC derived CPCs was consistent with pathways known to be active during embryonic cardiac development. We conclude that in vitro differentiation of mESCs recapitulates the early steps of mouse cardiac development. Keywords: embryonic stem cell, differentiation, cardiac progenitor, cardiogenesis

Project description:Gata5 efficiently promotes cardiomyocyte fate from murine ESCs.By removing serum from the culture conditions, GATA4 and GATA6 are each also able to efficiently promote cardiogenesis in ESC derivatives, with some distinctions. Thus, GATA factors can function in ESC derivatives upstream of other cardiac transcription factors to direct specification of progenitors with cardiac potential. We used microarray to compared the global gene expression of Gata5-induced cardiac cells with other growth factor directed ESC-derived cardiac cells iGata5 ESCs were induced with doxycycline at day 4 and harvested at day16 for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays.

Project description:We performed time-dependent, genome-wide analysis to explore gene expression profiles during in vitro cardiogenesis from embryonic stem cells to cardiac progenitor cells. Total RNA was extracted from undifferentiated stem cells, early mesodermal cells, cardiac mesodermal cells and cardiac progenitor cells. As a result of cluster analysis, Cited gene family was considered as candidate genes in cardiogenesis. Cited4 gene expression was specific for early cardiogenesis and Cited4 functioned as a cell cycle controling factor for early cardiac progenitor cells. Embryoid body was formed as in vitro cardiogenesis. Total RNA was extracted from Rex1-positive undifferentiated stem cells at day 0, Bra-positive early mesodermal cells at day 4.5, Flk1-positive cardiac mesodermal cells at day 4.5 and Nkx2.5-positive cardiac progenitor cells at day 7.5.

Project description:NOTCH/RBPJ/MAML ternary transcriptional complex binds to regulatory element and drives gene expression. The complex can function as monomer and dimer. How dimeric complexes regulate gene expression in human cancer is not well studied. Here, we integrate genomic data sets and analyze Notch dimeric complexes-regulated transcriptome and cis-regulatory elements. A subset of coding and non-coding RNA is Notch dimeric complexes-associated. Dimeric complexes recognition sequence enriched in functional dynamic Notch sites and majority of dimer recognition sequence located in (super-)enhancers. Using CRISPR-Cas9-mediated genome editing, we evaluated the function of one dimer-responsive element located in the promoter region of a noncoding RNA NDANR1 and 5' end 16kb away from HES5. Mutation of SPS in this element reduced expression of HES5 and NDANR1. This finding indicates that dimer-responsive elements can function as enhancer for HES5 and at the same time can function as promoter for noncoding RNA NDANR1. Our study reveals the pervasive role of Notch dimeric complexes in transcriptional regulation in human cancer genome.

Project description:Generation of widely differing and specialized cell types from a single totipotent zygote involves large-scale transcriptional changes and chromatin reorganization. Pioneer transcription factors play key roles in programming the epigenome and facilitating recruitment of additional regulatory factors during successive cell lineage specification and differentiation steps. Here we show that Isl1 acts as a pioneer factor driving cardiomyocyte lineage commitment by shaping the chromatin landscape of cardiac progenitor cells. Using an Isl1 hypomorphic mouse line which shows congenital heart defects, genome-wide profiling of Isl1 binding together with RNA- and ATAC-sequencing of cardiac progenitor cells and their derivatives, we uncover a regulatory network downstream of Isl1 that orchestrates cardiogenesis. Mechanistically, we show that Isl1 binds to compacted chromatin and woks in concert with the Brg1-Baf60c-based SWI/SNF complex to promote permissive cardiac lineage-specific alterations in the chromatin landscape not only of genes with critical functions in cardiac progenitor cells, but also of cardiomyocyte structural genes that are highly expressed when Isl1 itself is no longer present. Thus, the Isl1/Brg1-Baf60c complex plays a crucial role in orchestrating proper cardiogenesis and in establishing epigenetic memory of cardiomyocyte fate commitment.
