Human naïve pluripotent stem cells exhibit X chromosome dampening and X-inactivation (RRBS)

ABSTRACT: Naïve human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) can be derived from primed hESCs or directly from blastocysts, but their X-chromosome state has remained unresolved. We found that the inactive X-chromosome (Xi) of primed hESCs was reactivated in naïve culture conditions. Similar to cells of the blastocyst, resulting naive cells exhibited two active X-chromosomes with XIST expression and chromosome-wide transcriptional dampening, and initiated XIST-mediated X-inactivation upon differentiation. Both establishment and exit from the naïve state (differentiation) happened via an XIST-negative XaXa intermediate. Together, these findings identify a cell culture system for functionally exploring the two X-chromosome dosage compensation processes in early human development: X-dampening and X-inactivation. Furthermore, the naïve state reset Xi abnormalities of primed hESCs, providing cells better suited for downstream applications. However, naïve hESCs displayed differences to the embryo because XIST expression was predominantly mono-allelic instead of bi-allelic, and X-inactivation was non-random, indicating the need for further culture improvement.

Achieving Stable X-chromosome Inactivation in Human Embryonic Stem Cells

Project description:X-inactivation is a paradigm of epigenetic transcriptional regulation. Human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) that harbor an inactivated X-chromosome often undergo erosion of X-inactivation upon prolonged culture. Here, we investigate the sources of X-inactivation instability by deriving new primed pluripotent hESC lines. We find that the composition of culture media dramatically influenced the expression of XIST lncRNA, a key regulator of X-inactivation. hESCs cultured in a defined medium stably maintained XIST RNA coating, whereas hESCs cultured in the widely-used mTeSR1 medium lost XIST RNA expression. We pinpointed lithium chloride in mTeSR1 as a cause of XIST RNA loss. The addition of LiCl or inhibitors of glycogen synthase kinase 3 (GSK-3) proteins, which are inhibited by lithium, to the defined hESC culture medium impeded XIST expression. Together, these data may reconcile the observed variations in X-inactivation in hESCs and inform the culture of pluripotent stem cells for disease modeling and regenerative medicine.

XIST directly regulates X-linked and autosomal genes in naïve human pluripotent cells [ChIP-seq]

Project description:X-chromosome inactivation (XCI) serves as a paradigm for RNA-mediated regulation of gene expression, wherein the long non-coding RNA XIST spreads across the X-chromosome in cis to mediate chromosome-wide gene silencing. In female naïve human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs), XIST is in a dispersed configuration and XCI does not occur, raising questions about XIST’s function. We found that XIST spreads across the X-chromosome and induces dampening of X-linked gene expression in naïve hPSCs. Surprisingly, XIST also targets specific autosomal regions, where it induces repressive chromatin changes and gene expression dampening. Thereby, XIST equalizes X-linked gene dosage between male and female cells while inducing differences on autosomes. The dispersed Xist configuration and autosomal localization also occur transiently during XCI initiation in mouse PSCs. Together, our study identifies XIST as the regulator of X-chromosome dampening, uncovers an evolutionarily conserved trans-acting role of XIST/Xist, and reveals a correlation between XIST/Xist dispersal and autosomal targeting.
