Genome-wide ChIP-seq analysis of Pou3f1 during mouse pluripotent stem cell neural fate commitment

ABSTRACT: Appropriate neural initiation of the pluripotent stem cells in the early embryos is critical for the development of the central nervous system. This process is regulated by the coordination of extrinsic signals and intrinsic programs. However, how the coordination is achieved to ensure proper neural fate commitment is largely unknown. Here, taking advantage of genome-wide ChIP-sequencing (ChIP-seq) and RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) analyses, we demonstrate that the transcriptional factor Pou3f1 is an upstream activator of neural-promoting genes, and it is able to repress neural-inhibitory signals as well. Further studies revealed that Pou3f1 could directly bind neural lineage genes like Sox2 and downstream targets of neural inhibition signaling such as BMP and Wnt. Our results thus identify Pou3f1 as a critical dual-regulator of the intrinsic transcription factors and the extrinsic cellular signals during neural fate commitment.

The transcription factor Pou3f1 promotes neural fate commitment via activation of neural lineage genes and inhibition of external signaling pathways

Project description:The neural fate commitment of pluripotent stem cells requires repression of extrinsic inhibitory signals and activation of intrinsic positive transcription factors. However, it remains elusive how these two events are integrated to ensure appropriate neural conversion. Here, we show that Oct6 functions as an essential positive factor for neural differentiation of mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs), specifically during the transition from epiblast stem cells (EpiSCs) to neural progenitor cells (NPCs). Chimera analysis showed that Oct6 knockdown leads to markedly decreased incorporation of ESC in neuroectoderm. By contrast, Oct6-overexpressing ESC derivatives preferentially contribute to neuroectoderm. Genome-wide ChIP-seq and RNA-seq analyses indicate that Oct6 is an upstream activator of neural lineage genes, and also a repressor of BMP and Wnt signalings. Our results establish Oct6 as a critical regulator that promotes neural commitment of pluripotent stem cells through a dual role: activating internal neural induction programs and antagonizing extrinsic neural inhibitory signals.

Loss of Usp9x increases Wnt and Notch signaling in neural progenitors

Project description:Correct neural progenitor fate determination requires the coordination of extrinsic fate determinant signals with intrinsic responses. Post-translational modifications dynamically alter protein function and so are ideally situated to regulate development. Here we show that the deubiquitylaying enzyme, Usp9x modulates both intrinsic and extrinsic regulators of mouse neural progenitors. Nestin-cre mediated deletion of Usp9x from neural progenitors results in a transient disruption of cell adhesion and apical-basal polarity as well as the premature differentiation of intermediate neural progenitors. Ablation of Usp9x also significantly increased Î²-catenin protein levels, especially S33/S37/T41 phospho-Î²-catenin, and Wnt signalling. Usp9x was found to be part of the Î²-catenin destruction complex and loss of Usp9x affects destruction complex composition. Notch signalling was also increased in Usp9x ablated neural progenitors, coinciding with decreased Itch and Numb, and increased Notch intracellular domain protein levels. Usp9x co-localized and immunopreciptiated with Numb from neural progenitors suggesting it is required for Numb stabilisation. These data suggest Usp9x plays a role in coordinating intrinsic responses to extrinsic signals during neural development.

Nanog regulates Pou3f1 expression at the exit from pluripotency during gastrulation

Project description:Pluripotency is regulated by a network of transcription factors that maintains early embryonic cells in an undifferentiated state while allowing them to proliferate. NANOG is a critical factor for maintaining pluripotency and its role in primordial germ cell differentiation has been well described. However, Nanog is expressed during gastrulation across all the posterior epiblast, and only later in development its expression is restricted to primordial germ cells. In this work, we unveiled a previously unknown mechanism by which Nanog specifically represses genes involved in anterior epiblast lineage. Analysis of transcriptional data from both embryonic stem cells and gastrulating mouse embryos revealed Pou3f1 expression to be negatively correlated with that of Nanog during the early stages of differentiation. We have functionally demonstrated Pou3f1 to be a direct target of NANOG by using a dual transgene system for the controlled expression of Nanog. Use of Nanog null ES cells further demonstrated a role for Nanog in repressing a subset of anterior neural genes. Deletion of a NANOG binding site (BS) located nine kilobases downstream of the transcription start site of Pou3f1 revealed this BS to have a specific role in the regionalization of the expression of this gene in the embryo. Our results indicate an active role of Nanog inhibiting neural regulatory networks by repressing Pou3f1 at the onset of gastrulation.

Transcriptome analysis reveals determinant stages controlling human embryonic stem cell commitment to neuronal cells

Project description:Proper neural commitment is essential for ensuring the appropriate development of the human brain and for preventing neurodevelopmental diseases such as autism spectrum disorders, schizophrenia, and intellectual disorders. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the neural commitment in humans remain elusive. Here, we report the establishment of a neural differentiation system based on human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) and on comprehensive RNA-Seq analysis of transcriptome dynamics during early hESC differentiation. Using weighted gene co-expression network analysis, we reveal that the hESC neurodevelopmental trajectory has five stages: pluripotency (day 0), differentiation initiation (days 2, 4, and 6), neural commitment (days 8–10), neural progenitor cell proliferation (days 12, 14, and 16), and neuronal differentiation (days 18, 20, and 22). These stages were characterized by unique module genes, which may recapitulate the early human cortical development. Moreover, a comparison of our RNA-Seq data with several other transcriptome profiling datasets from mice and humans indicated that module 3 associated with the day 8–10 stage is a critical window of fate switch from the pluripotency to the neural lineage. Interestingly, at this stage, no key extrinsic signals were activated. In contrast, using CRISPR-Cas9–mediated gene knockouts, we also found that intrinsic hub transcription factors, including the schizophrenia-associated SIX3 gene and septo-optic dysplasia–related HESX1 gene, are required to program hESC neural determination. Our results improve the understanding of the mechanism of neural commitment in the human brain and may help elucidate the etiology of human mental disorders and advance therapies for managing these conditions.
