Oocyte Specific Homeobox 1 (Obox1) Facilitates Somatic Cell Reprogramming by Promoting Mesenchymal-to-Epithelial Transition and Mitigating Cell Hyper-proliferation

ABSTRACT: Mammalian oocytes possess fascinating unknown factors, which can reprogram terminally differentiated germ cells (sperm) or somatic cells into totipotent embryos. Here, we demonstrate that oocyte specific homeobox 1 (Obox1), an oocyte-specific factor, can markedly enhance the generation of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) from mouse fibroblasts in a proliferation-independent manner and can replace Sox2 to achieve pluripotency. Overexpression of Obox1 can greatly promote mesenchymal-to-epithelial transition (MET) at early stage of OSKM-induced somatic cell reprogramming and meanwhile, the cell hyper-proliferation can be significantly slowed down. Subsequently, the proportion of Thy1 negative cells and Oct4-GFP positive cells increased dramatically. Further analysis of gene expression and targets of Obox1 during reprogramming indicates that the expression of Obox1 can promote epithelial genes expression and repress cell cycle-related genes expression. Taken together, we conclude that the oocyte-specific factor Obox1 serves as a strong activator for somatic cell reprogramming through promoting the MET and mitigating cells hyper-proliferation.

Amphiregulin mediates non-cell-autonomous effect of senescence on reprogramming

Project description:Cellular senescence is an irreversible growth arrest with a highly dynamic secretome, termed the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP). Senescence has been implicated in somatic reprogramming to pluripotency. The cell-intrinsic proliferation arrest is a barrier for reprogramming, whereas the SASP facilitates the cell fate conversion in nonsenescent cells. However, the mechanisms by which reprogramming-induced senescence regulates cell plasticity are not well understood. Here, we have further investigated how the heterogeneity of paracrine senescence impacts reprogramming. We show that senescence promotes in vitro reprogramming in a stress-dependent manner. We identified a catalog of SASP factors and pathways potentially involved in the cell fate conversion using an unbiased proteomic analysis. Amphiregulin (AREG), a growth factor frequently secreted by the senescent cells, promotes in vitro reprogramming by accelerating proliferation and MET via the EGFR signaling pathway. Of note, AREG treatment diminished the negative effect of donor age on reprogramming. Finally, AREG enhances in vivo reprogramming in the skeletal muscle. Hence, senescence could facilitate cellular plasticity via various SASP factors to promote reprogramming and tissue repair.

Promotion of Direct Reprogramming by Glis1

Project description:Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) are generated from somatic cells by the transgene expression of three transcription factors Oct3/4, Sox2, and Klf4 (OSK), albeit at a low efficiency. The protooncogene c-Myc enhances the efficiency of iPSC generation by OSK, but it also increases the tumorigenicity of the resulting iPSC. In the current study, we found the Gli-like transcription factor Glis1, when expressed together with OSK, to markedly enhance the generation of iPSC from both mouse and human fibroblasts. Mouse iPSC generated by OSK and Glis1 can form germline-competent chimeras. Glis1 is enriched in unfertilized oocytes and one cell-stage embryos. DNA microarray analyses revealed that Glis1 promotes multiple pro-reprogramming pathways, including Myc, Nanog, Lin28, Wnt, mesenchymal-epithelial transition (MET), and Esrrb. These results therefore demonstrated that oocyte transcription factor Glis1 effectively promote direct reprogramming during iPSC generation. p53-null mouse embryonic fibroblasts were transduced with OSK and OSK+Glis1 and were used for microarray analyses.

Failure to maternally reprogram histone methylation causes developmental delay due to germline transcription in somatic tissues

Project description:In C. elegans, the H3K4me2 demethylase, SPR-5, and the H3K9 methyltransferase, MET-2, are maternally deposited into the oocyte where they reprogram histone methylation to prevent somatic expression of germline genes. Here, we show that the progeny of spr-5; met-2 mutants display a severe developmental delay that is associated with the ectopic expression of germline genes targeted by the H3K36me2/3 methyltransferase, MES-4. Maternally deposited MES-4 maintains H3K36me2/3 at a subset of germline genes (hereafter referred to as MES-4 germline genes) in a transcription-independent manner, and this is required for germline proliferation in the subsequent generation. By performing ChIP-seq on L1 progeny from spr-5; met-2 mutants, we find that MES-4 germline genes ectopically accumulate H3K36me3 in somatic tissues. Additionally, knocking down MES-4 suppresses the ectopic expression of MES-4 germline genes and rescues the developmental delay. These data suggest a model where SPR-5, MET-2 and MES-4 carefully balance the inheritance of histone methylation from the parental germline to ensure the proper specification of germline versus soma in the progeny. Without SPR-5; MET-2 maternal reprogramming, somatic cells struggle to specify their proper cell fate amongst the background noise of inappropriate germline gene transcription, leading to a severe developmental delay.
