Long Noncoding RNA Moderates microRNA Activity to Maintain Self-Renewal in Embryonic Stem Cells

ABSTRACT: Of the thousands of long non-coding RNAs expressed in embryonic stem (ES) cells, few have known roles and fewer have been functionally implicated in the regulation of self-renewal and pluripotency or reprogramming somatic cells to the pluripotent state. In ES cells, Cyrano is a stably expressed long intergenic non-coding RNA with no previously assigned role. We demonstrate that Cyrano contributes to ES cell maintenance, as its depletion results in loss of hallmarks of self-renewal. Delineation of Cyrano's network through transcriptomics revealed widespread effects on signaling pathways and gene expression networks that contribute to ES cell maintenance. Cyrano shares unique sequence complementarity with the differentiation-associated microRNA, mir-7, and mir-7 overexpression reduces expression of a key self-renewal factor to a similar extent as Cyrano knockdown. This suggests that Cyrano functions to restrain the action of mir-7. Altogether, we provide a view into the multifaceted function of Cyrano in ES cell maintenance.

Wdr5 mediates self-renewal and reprogramming via the embryonic stem cell core transcriptional network

Project description:The embryonic stem (ES) cell transcriptional and epigenetic networks are critical for the maintenance of ES cell self-renewal. However, it remains unclear whether components of these networks functionally interact and if so, what factors mediate such interactions. Here we show that WD-repeat protein-5 (Wdr5), a core member of the mammalian Trithorax (trxG) complex, positively correlates with the undifferentiated state and is a novel regulator of ES cell self-renewal. We demonstrate that Wdr5, an ‘effector’ of H3K4 methylation, interacts with the pluripotency transcription factor Oct4. In concordance, genome-wide ChIP-Seq and transcriptome analyses demonstrate overlapping gene regulatory functions between Oct4 and Wdr5. We show that the Oct4-Sox2-Nanog circuitry cooperates with trxG for transcriptional activation of key self-renewal regulators. Furthermore, Wdr5 expression is required for the efficient formation of induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells. Collectively, these findings implicate an integrated model of transcriptional and epigenetic control, mediated by select trxG members, for the maintenance of ES cell self-renewal and somatic cell reprogramming. 7 Samples

Id1 maintains embryonic stem cell self-renewal by upregulation of Nanog and repression of Brachyury expression

Project description:Understanding the mechanism by which embryonic stem (ES) cells self-renew is critical for the realization of their therapeutic potential. Previously it had been shown that in combination with LIF, Id proteins were sufficient to maintain mouse ES cells in a self-renewing state. Here we investigate the requirement for Id1 in maintaing ES cell self-renewal and blocking differentiation. We find that Id1-/- ES cells have a propensity to differentiate and a decreased capacity to self-renew. Chronic or acute loss of Id1 leads to a down-regulation of Nanog, a critical regulator of self-renewal. In addition, in the absence of Id1, ES cells express elevated levels of Brachyury, a marker of mesendoderm differentiation. We find that loss of both Nanog and Id1 is required for the up-regulation of Brachyury, and Id1 maintains Nanog expression by blocking the expression of Zeb1, a repressor of Nanog transcription. These results identify Id1 as an important factor in the maintenance of ES cell self-renewal and suggest a plausible mechanism for its control of lineage commitment. Wild type and Id1-/- ES cells were grown on gelatin under normal self-renewing conditions (in the presence of serum and LIF).

Chromatin immunoprecipitation of Oct4, Nanog and Suz12 in human and mouse embryonic stem cells to identify promoters for miRNAs

Project description:Understanding the transcriptional regulatory circuitry responsible for pluripotency and self-renewal in embryonic stem (ES) cells is fundamental to understanding human development and realizing the therapeutic potential of these cells. The transcription factor Oct4 and the chromatin-modifying Polycomb complex, key regulators of ES cell pluripotency and self-renewal, contribute to positive and negative control of a known set of protein-coding genes. MicroRNAs (miRNAs), non-coding transcripts that participate in post-transcriptional gene regulation are also important for normal pluripotency and self-renewal in ES cells, but there has been no systematic investigation of how miRNA expression is controlled by transcriptional regulators of ES cell identity. Here we identify promoters for miRNAs in the human and mouse genomes and describe the subset of these genes that are under the control of Oct4 and Polycomb in ES cells. We find that the majority of miRNAs that are uniquely or preferentially expressed in ES cells are bound by and dependent on Oct4. Oct4 also occupies a set of miRNA genes that are co-occupied by the Polycomb Group protein, Suz12. These miRNAs, repressed in ES cells, are later expressed in differentiated cells in a highly tissue-specific fashion, suggesting that they may contribute to cell-fate determinations. These data reveal how the core transcriptional regulatory circuitry of ES cells controls the miRNA expression program that contributes to pluripotency and self-renewal.

Wdr5 mediates self-renewal and reprogramming via the embryonic stem cell core transcriptional network (2)

Project description:The embryonic stem (ES) cell transcriptional and epigenetic networks are critical for the maintenance of ES cell self-renewal. It remains unclear whether interactions. Here we show that a core member of the Set/MLL complex, WDrepeat protein-5 (Wdr5), is a novel regulator of self-renewal and partners with Oct4 to maintain an intact transcriptional network and for efficient formation of induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells. Moreover, we provide evidence that Oct4 interacts with chromatin components and is indispensible for epigenetic regulation. These findings suggest an integrated transcriptional and epigenetic model, mediated through Wdr5, for the maintenance of ES cell self-renewal and somatic cell reprogramming. Differential gene expressions upon down-regulation of Wdr5 was analysed by comparing Wdr5R4 –dox (triplicate) and LucR +dox (duplicate) RNA samples Gene expression changes upon down-regulation of Oct4 was analysed by comparing Oct4 shRNA (duplicate) and GFP shRNA (duplicate) after 4day transfection

mRNA profiling after knockdown of lncRNA Cyrano

Project description:Pluripotency is tightly regulated via versatile pathways and is crucial for the maintenance of stem cells and their implementation for regenerative medicine. Cyrano, a well conserved lncRNA, is highly expressed in stem cells suggesting an important role of Cyrano in pluripotency. Cyrano was previously described to be essential for the maintenance of mouse ESC pluripotency. In contrast, using different genetic models, we here found Cyrano to be dispensable in murine and human iPSCs and in human ESCs. RNAseq in human iPSC revealed only a moderate influence of Cyrano on the global transcriptome, pluripotency-related pathways remaining unaffected.

A network of noncoding regulatory RNAs acts in the mammalian brain IV

Project description:Noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs) play increasingly appreciated gene-regulatory roles. Here, we describe a regulatory network centered on four ncRNAs—a long ncRNA, a circular RNA, and two microRNAs—using gene editing in mice to probe the molecular consequences of disrupting key components of this network. The long ncRNA Cyrano uses an extensively paired site to miR-7 to trigger destruction of this microRNA. Cyrano-directed miR-7 degradation is much more efficient than previously described examples of target-directed microRNA degradation, which come primarily from studies of artificial and viral RNAs. By reducing miR-7 levels, Cyrano prevents repression of miR-7–targeted mRNAs and enables the accumulation of Cdr1as, a circular RNA known to regulate neuronal activity. Without Cyrano, excess miR-7 causes cytoplasmic destruction of Cdr1as, in part through enhanced slicing of Cdr1as by a second miRNA, miR-671. Thus, several types of ncRNAs can collaborate to establish a sophisticated regulatory network.
