SMAD2/3 potentiate cell identity conversions with master transcription factors

ABSTRACT: The exogenous expression of master transcription factors (TFs) is a powerful and exciting approach to convert cellular identity. Yet, the generation of desired cell types is often plagued by inefficiency, slow kinetics and inability to produce mature cell types. Through investigations of the molecular mechanisms of induced plurpipotent stem cell generation, we discovered that expression of constitutively active Smad2/3 (Smad2CA/3CA), together with the Yamanaka factors, could dramatically improve the efficiency and kinetics of reprogramming. Mechanistically, SMAD3 interacted with both co-activators and reprogramming factors, bridging their interaction during reprogramming. Fascinatingly, SMAD2/3 interact with a multitude of master TFs in different cell types, and conversions of B cells to macrophages, myoblasts to adipocytes, and human fibroblasts to neurons were also markedly enhanced when their master TFs were co-expressed with Smad3CA. These results revealed the existence of shared molecular mechanisms underlying diverse TF-mediated cellular conversions, and demonstrated SMAD2/3 as a widely applicable booster.

A general transcription co-factor, Smad3, potentiates master transcription factor mediated cell identity conversions [ChIP-seq]

Project description:We have identified that expression of constitutive active Smad3 (Smad3CA) significantly enhanced reprogramming by Oct4, Sox2, Klf4, c-Myc. Smad3 is known to interact with several master transcription factors and boost their activity during development. Therefore, we hypothesized that Smad3CA is recruited to Oct4 binding sites during reprogramming. To test this hypothesis, we investigated genome-wide Smad3 binding sites in the presence and absence of reprogramming factor expression.

A computer-guided design tool to increase the efficiency of cellular conversions

Project description:Here we introduce a computer-guided design tool that combines a computational framework for prioritizing more efficient combinations of instructive factors (IFs) of cellular conversions, called IRENE, with a transposon-based genomic integration system for efficient delivery. Particularly, IRENE relies on a stochastic gene regulatory network model that systematically prioritizes more efficient IFs by maximizing the agreement of the transcriptional and epigenetic landscapes between the converted and target cells. Our predictions substantially increased the efficiency of two established iPSC-differentiation protocols (natural killer cells and melanocytes) and established the first protocol for iPSC-derived mammary epithelial cells with high efficiency.

Distinct modes of SMAD2 chromatin binding and remodeling shape the transcriptional response to Nodal/Activin signaling [Epigenetic marks and RNA PolII ChIP]

Project description:During development, key processes are orchestrated by Nodal/Activin signaling via SMAD2. Interplay between the SMADs, co-factors and chromatin determines cell-type specific responses, but the sequence of events underpinning SMAD2-mediated transcription is unknown. We performed RNA-and ChIP-sequencing for SMAD2, RNA Polymerase II and various histone modifications in different signaling states. Integration of these data reveals a dynamic transcriptional network downstream of Nodal/Activin signaling regulated by SMAD2 acting via multiple mechanisms. Upon ligand stimulation, SMAD2 can bind to pre-acetylated nucleosome-depleted sites, but also to unacetylated closed chromatin, where it induces nucleosome displacement and histone acetylation. Importantly, SMAD2 binding is highly dynamic and does not directly correlate with the transcriptional kinetics of target genes. Moreover, we show that SMAD2 initiates transcription by inducing RNA Polymerase II recruitment. We therefore define new paradigms for SMAD2-dependent transcription and provide a framework to understand how cells correctly execute gene expression programs in response to Nodal/Activin signaling.

Reconstructing and reprogramming the tumor propagating potential of glioblastoma stem-like cells: ChIP-seq

Project description:Developmental fate decisions are dictated by master transcription factors (TFs) that interact with cis-regulatory elements to direct transcriptional programs. Certain malignant tumors may also depend on a cellular hierarchy reminiscent of normal development but superimposed on underlying genetic aberrations. In glioblastoma (GBM), a subset of stem-like tumor- propagating cells (TPCs) appears to drive tumor progression and underlie therapeutic resistance, yet remain poorly understood. Here, we identify a core set of neurodevelopmental TFs (POU3F2, SOX2, SALL2, OLIG2) essential for GBM propagation. These TFs coordinately bind and activate TPC-specific regulatory elements, and are sufficient to fully reprogram differentiated GBM cells to ‘induced’ TPCs that recapitulate the epigenetic landscape and phenotype of native TPCs. We reconstruct a TF network model that highlights critical interactions and identifies novel therapeutic targets for eliminating TPCs. Our study establishes the epigenetic basis of a developmental hierarchy in a devastating malignancy, provides detailed insight into the underlying gene regulatory programs, and suggests attendant therapeutic strategies.

Transient ER binding and p300 redistribution support a physiological squelching model for immediate ER-repressed genes

Project description:Selective transcriptional activation and repression of genes throughout signaling cascades and development are poorly understood. Transcription factors (TF) orchestrate patterns and magnitude of transcriptional response, but TF action, or inaction, is highly dependent upon TF kinetics, distance from genes, chromatin architecture, and the local occupancy of other TFs. We integrated genomic transcription, chromosome looping, TF binding, and chromatin structure data to analyze the molecular cascade that results from estradiol-induced (E2) signaling in human MCF-7 breast cancer cells and addressed the context-specific nature of gene regulation. We analyzed kinetic ChIP-seq that profiled the master regulator of the E2-mediated response, estrogen receptor (ER), and found that transient ER binding sites are specifically associated with enhancers of repressed genes. We performed replicate ChIP-seq experiments prior to estrogen treatment and 2min, 5min, 10min, 40min, and 160min after E2 treatment.

The hematopoietic master transcription factor PU.1 requires its interaction with the SWI/SNF remodeler to access chromatin de novo

Project description:PU.1 is a prototype master transcription factor (TF) of hematopoietic cell differentiation with diverse roles in different lineages. Analysis of its genome-wide binding pattern across PU.1 expressing cell types revealed manifold cell type-specific binding patterns. They are not consistent with the epigenetic and chromatin constraints to PU.1 binding observed in vitro, suggesting that PU.1 requires auxiliary factors to access DNA in vivo. Using a model of transient mRNA expression we show that PU.1 induction leads to the extensive remodeling of chromatin, redistribution of partner transcription factors and rapid initiation of a myeloid gene expression program in heterologous cell types. By probing PU.1 mutants for defects in chromatin access and screening for PU.1 proximal proteins in vivo, we found that its N-terminal acidic domain was required for the recruitment of SWI/SNF remodeling complexes, de novo chromatin access and stable binding as well as the redistribution of partner TFs.

Human transcription factors responsive to initial reprogramming are predominantly legitimate during iPSC reprogramming

Project description:The four transcription factors OCT4, SOX2, KLF4 and MYC (OSKM) together can convert human fibroblasts to induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). It is, however, perplexing that they can do so only for a rare population of the starting cells with a long latency. Transcription factors (TFs) define identities of both the starting fibroblasts and the end product, iPSCs, and are of paramount importance for the reprogramming process as well. It is critical to upregulate or activate iPSC-enriched TFs while downregulate or silence the fibroblast-enriched TFs. This report explores the initial TF responses to OSKM as the molecular underpinnings for both the potency aspect and limitation sides of the OSKM reprogramming. The author first defined the TF reprogramome, i.e., the full complement of TFs to be reprogrammed. Most TFs were resistant to OSKM reprogramming at the initial stages, which agrees with the inefficiency and long latency of iPSC reprogramming. Surprisingly, the current analyses revealed that the majority of the TFs (83 genes) that did respond to OSKM induction underwent legitimate reprogramming. The initial legitimate transcriptional responses of TFs to OSKM reprogramming were observed from fibroblasts from a different individual. Such early biased legitimate reprogramming of the responsive TFs aligns well with the robustness aspect of the otherwise inefficient and stochastic OSKM reprogramming
