An Mll4/COMPASS-Lsd1 epigenetic axis governs enhancer function and pluripotency transition in embryonic stem cells

ABSTRACT: Chromatin regulators control cellular differentiation by orchestrating dynamic developmental gene expression programs, and hence, malfunctions in the regulation of chromatin state contribute to both developmental disorders and disease state. Mll4 (Kmt2d), a member of the COMPASS (COMplex of Proteins ASsociated with Set1) protein family that implements histone H3 lysine 4 monomethylation (H3K4me1) at enhancers, is essential for embryonic development and functions as a pancancer tumor suppressor. We define the roles of Mll4/COMPASS and its catalytic activity in the maintenance and exit of ground-state pluripotency in murine embryonic stem cells (ESCs). Mll4 is required for ESC to exit the naive pluripotent state; however, its intrinsic catalytic activity is dispensable for this process. The depletion of the H3K4 demethylase Lsd1 (Kdm1a) restores the ability of Mll4 null ESCs to transition from naive to primed pluripotency. Thus, we define an opposing regulatory axis, wherein Lsd1 and associated co-repressors directly repress Mll4-activated gene targets. This finding has broad reaching implications for human developmental syndromes and the treatment of tumors carrying Mll4 mutations.

Systematic Identification of Defined Conditions for Induction and Maintenance of Naive Human Pluripotency [ChIP-Seq]

Project description:Embryonic stem cells (ESCs) of mice and humans have distinct molecular and biological characteristics, raising the question whether an earlier ‘naive’ state of pluripotency may exist in humans. Here we took a systematic approach to identify small molecules that support autonomous self-renewal of naive human ESCs based on maintenance of endogenous OCT4 distal enhancer activity, a molecular signature of ground state pluripotency. Iterative chemical screening identified a combination of five kinase inhibitors that induces and maintains OCT4 distal enhancer activity when applied directly to conventional human ESCs. These inhibitors generate a homogeneous population of human pluripotent stem cells in which transcription factors associated with the ground state of pluripotency are highly upregulated. Comparison with previously reported naive human ESCs indicates that our kinase inhibitor cocktail captures a novel pluripotent state in humans that closely resembles mouse ESCs. ChIP-seq data from human embryonic stem cells in naive and primed conditions were generated by deep sequencing using Illumina Hi-Seq 2000.

Tracking the embryonic stem cell transition from ground state pluripotency

Project description:Mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells are locked into self-renewal by shielding from inductive cues. Release from this ground state in minimal conditions offers a system for delineating developmental progression from naive pluripotency. Here we examined the initial transition process. The ES cell population behaves asynchronously. We therefore exploited a short-half-life Rex1::GFP reporter to isolate cells either side of exit from naive status. Differentiation of Rex1-GFPd2 ES cells was initiated by withdrawing 2i (Kalkan et al., 2016). Undifferentiated 2i-cells and post-2i withdrawal differentiating populations (16h, 25h-Rex1-High, 25h-Rex1-Low) were subjected to proteomic analysis by Mass Spectrometry.

Comparison with previously reported naive human ESCs indicates that our kinase inhibitor cocktail captures a novel pluripotent state in humans that closely resembles mouse ESCs. Expression analysis was performed on two groups of human ESC samples: WIBR2 (P12 and P14), WIBR3 (P9) and WIN1 (P10) human ESCs derived in our optimized naive medium (5i/L/A or 6i/L/A, as indicated), and parental WIBR2 and WIBR3 human ESCs in primed human ESC medium.

An Intermediate Pluripotent State Controlled by microRNAs is Required for the Naïve to Primed Stem Cell Transition

Project description:The embryonic stem cell (ESC) transition from naive to primed pluripotency is marked by major changes in cellular properties and developmental potential. ISY1 is implicated in miRNA biogenesis yet its widespread role and relevance to ESC biology remain unknown. Here we find that highly dynamic ISY1 expression during the naïve to primed ESC transition defines a unique phase of ‘poised’ pluripotency characterized by distinct miRNA and mRNA transcriptomes and widespread poised cell contribution to mouse chimeras. Loss- and gain-of-function experiments reveal that ISY1 promotes exit from the naïve state, is necessary and sufficient to induce and maintain poised pluripotency, and that persistent ISY1 overexpression inhibits the transition from the naïve to the primed state. We identify a large subset of ISY1-dependent miRNAs that can rescue the inability of miRNA-deficient ESCs to establish the poised state and transition to the primed state. Thus, dynamic ISY1 regulates poised pluripotency through miRNAs to control ESC fate.

Jun-mediated changes in cell adhesion contribute to embryonic stem cell exit from ground state pluripotency

Project description:Embryonic stem cells (ESC) are able to give rise to any somatic cell type. A lot is known about how ESC pluripotency is maintained, but comparatively less is known about how differentiation is promoted. Cell fate decisions are regulated by interactions between signalling and transcriptional networks. Recent studies have shown that the overexpression or downregulation of the transcription factor Jun can affect the ESC fate. Here we have focussed on the role of the Jun in the exit of mouse ESCs from ground state pluripotency and the onset of early differentiation. Transcriptomic analysis of differentiating ESCs reveals that Jun is required to upregulate a programme of genes associated with cell adhesion as ESCs exit the pluripotent ground state.

Cooperative genetic networks drive embryonic stem cell transition from naïve to formative pluripotency

Project description:In the mammalian embryo, epiblast cells must exit the naïve state and acquire formative pluripotency. This cell state transition is recapitulated by mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs), which undergo pluripotency progression in defined conditions in vitro. However, our understanding of the molecular cascades and gene networks involved in the exit from naïve pluripotency remains fragmentary. Here, we employed a combination of genetic screens in haploid ESCs, CRISPR/Cas9 gene disruption, large-scale transcriptomics and computational systems biology to delineate the regulatory circuits governing naïve state exit. Transcriptome profiles for 73 ESC lines deficient for regulators of the exit from naïve pluripotency predominantly manifest delays on the trajectory from naïve to formative epiblast. We find that gene networks operative in ESCs are also active during transition from pre- to post-implantation epiblast in utero. We identified 496 naïve state-associated genes tightly connected to the in vivo epiblast state transition and largely conserved in primate embryos. Integrated analysis of mutant transcriptomes revealed funnelling of multiple gene activities into discrete regulatory modules. Finally, we delineate how intersections with signalling pathways direct this pivotal mammalian cell state transition.

Demethylase-independent roles of LSD1 in regulating enhancers and cell fate transition [scRNA-seq]

Project description:Metazoan enhancers are decorated by mono-methylation (me1) of the lysine 4 residue on histone H3 (H3K4), a mark deposited by methyltransferases MLL3/MLL4 and removed by the lysine-specific histone demethylase 1A (LSD1 or KDM1A) via its flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD)-dependent amine oxidase activity. As a component of histone deacetylases HDAC1/2-containing complex CoREST, LSD1 is required for animal development, and is implicated in Kabuki Syndrome-like congenital diseases and multiple types of cancer. Although prior research has investigated the demethylase function of LSD1 extensively, the mechanisms underlying LSD1’s role in development and diseases remain enigmatic. Here, we have utilized genetic, epigenetic, genomic, and cell biology approaches to dissect the role of LSD1 and its demethylase activity in gene regulation and cell fate transition. Surprisingly, the catalytic inactivation of LSD1 only has a mild impact on gene expression whereas the loss of LSD1 protein de-represses enhancers globally. Moreover, LSD1 deletion, rather than its catalytic inactivation, causes defects in spontaneous differentiation, the transition from naive to primed pluripotency, embryoid body formation, and cardiomyocyte differentiation. Interestingly, deletion of LSD1 increases H3K27ac levels and binding of P300 to LSD1-targeted enhancers. We further show that the gain in the level of H3K27ac catalyzed by P300/CBP, not the loss of CoREST complex components from chromatin, contributes to the transcription de-repression of LSD1 targets and differentiation defects caused by LSD1 loss. Taken together, our study demonstrates a demethylase-independent role of LSD1 in regulating enhancers and cell fate transition, providing insight into the treatment of diseases driven by LSD1 mutations and misregulation.
