Project description:Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) can be derived from somatic cells through ectopic expression of transcriptional factors or chemical cocktails. Chemical reprogramming might be safe than transcriptional factors since there is no integration of exogenous genes. However, there is still little direct evidence to prove this hypothesis. In this study, we have performed whole genome profiling of the DNA methylomes of mouse chemical iPSCs (CiPSCs), transcriptional factors induced iPSCs (TF-iPSCs) and embryonic stem cells (ESCs). We find that the methylation levels of high-CpG-density promoters (HCPs) and intermediate- CpG-density promoters (ICPs) have no significant difference among them, but low-CpG-density promoters (LCP) and three retrotransposons (LINEs, LTRs and SINEs) show preference to different methylation levels. Surprisingly, CiPSCs are hypomethylated than TF-iPSCs and the major difference of methylation levels lies in the intergenic regions while two iPSCs lines are generally hypermethylated compared to ESCs. Moveover, we find the methylation states of imprinting control regions (ICRs) and the expression of imprinted genes of CiPSCs are more resemble ESCs than TF-iPSCs. Our data first provide the epigenetic states of chemical induced pluripotent stem cells and compare the difference of mouse CiPSCs, TF-iPSCs and ESCs. These observations might affect ongoing choices of reprogramming methods for disease modeling and give some guides for potential therapeutic applications.

Project description:Pluripotency can be induced from different cell types using different methods. Several studies have reported that iPSC retain an epigenetic memory from the tissue from which they were derived. However, the influence of the method used for reprogramming in the final pluripotent state has not been investigated yet. Therefore, we have taken advantage of germline stem cells (GSCs) that can be converted into germline pluripotent stem cells (gPSCs) using specific culture conditions or into induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) after the forced expression of four transcription factors. Here, we compare the gene expression profile, imprinting methylation pattern and differentiation potential between GSC-derived iPSCs and gPSCs. Our analysis demonstrates that both reprogramming methods induce equivalent levels of pluripotency and that a donor GSC transcriptional memory is retained only at early steps after reprogramming. In summary, our results show that different reprogramming methods generate undistinguishable pluripotent states and exclude a method-dependent epigenetic memory. Cell Culture. All the cell lines used in this study were derived from OG2 mice. Unless otherwise noted, all cell culture reagents were purchased from Gibco or PAA. Neonatal GSCs derived from 10 days postpartum (d.p.p) murine testis and adult GSCs derived from 35 d.p.p murine testis were derived as previously described and cultured on irradiated C3H feeder cells in a medium composed of StemPro-34 SFM (including supplement), N2 supplement (1:100), 1 % heat-inactivated fetal calf serum (FCS), 5 mg ml-1 bovine serum albumin (BSA) fraction V, 100 U ml-1 penicillin, 100 µg ml-1 streptomycin, 2 mM Lâglutamine, 0.1 mM non-essential amino acids (NEAA), 0.1 mM βâmercaptoethanol, MEM vitamins (1:100), 6 mg ml-1 Dâ(+)âglucose (Sigma), 30 mg ml-1 pyruvic acid, 0.1 % DLâlactic acid (Sigma), 60 ng ml-1 progesterone (Sigma), 30 ng ml-1 βâestradiol (Sigma), 15 ng ml-1 mouse EGF (Peprotech), 10 ng ml-1 human bFGF (Peprotech), 10 ng ml-1 human GDNF (Peprotech), and 1000 U ml-1 mouse LIF (inâhouse preparation). For maintenance culture, GSCs were passaged at a 1:2âratio once a week after digestion with 0.05 % trypsin/EDTA. In addition, ESCs, iPSC and gPSC were cultured on irradiated C3H feeders in the following medium: Knockout DMEM, 20% Knockout Serum Replacement, penicillin, streptomycin, Lâglutamine, NEAA, βâmercaptoethanol, and LIF. Generation of pluripotent cell lines. iPSC were generated using tetracycline-inducible lentiviruses. For the lentiviral production, 293T cells were plated at 50 % confluency in 10-cm dishes one day prior to transfection. The next day, the lentiviral vector (3 µg) together with the packaging plasmids psPAX2 (2 µg) and pMD2.G (1 µg) (Addgene plasmids #12260 and #12259, respectively) were transfected using FuGENE 6 reagent (Roche) according to the manufacturerâs protocol. After 48 h, viral-containing supernatants were filtered (0.45 µm), concentrated around 30-fold by centrifugation (26,000 à g, 2 h, 4 °C) and stored at -80 °C. For the generation of iPSCs, a single-cell suspension of 50,000 GSCs was infected overnight with five tetracycline-inducible lentiviruses (5â20 µl concentrated supernatant each) encoding for Oct4, Sox2, Klf4, c-Myc, and the reverse tetracycline-transactivator M2-rtTA (Addgene plasmids #20323, #20326, #20322, #20324, and #20342) in the presence of 4 µg ml-1 polybrene (Sigma). One week after the infection, the expression of the viral transgenes was induced by adding 4 µg ml-1 doxycycline (Sigma) to the medium. MEFs-derived iPSCs were generated using the same protocol. gPSC were generated following a previous reported protocol. Briefly, GSCs were seeded at a density of approx. 1000 cells cm-2 on feeder cells and were not splitted until gPSC colonies were observed. Both iPSC and gPSC colonies were identified by Oct4-GFP expression, manually picked and expanded under ESC conditions. In vitro differentiation of pluripotent cells. Embryoid body (EB) formation was induced in suspension culture adopting the hanging drop method (600 cells in 20 µl) for 5 days in ESC medium without LIF. EBs were seeded on gelatine-coated plates and further cultured for 14 days in the same medium. Chimera formation. Aggregations of putative pluripotent cells with denuded 8-cell stage embryos were performed as previously reported. After overnight incubation at 37 °C and 5 % CO2, 11â14 aggregates were transferred into the uterine horns of 2.5 d.p.c pseudo-pregnant surrogate mothers (mated with vasectomized males). The chimeric pups were obtained and dissected at 14.5 d.p.c. Microarray gene expression analysis. Purified cRNA samples were prepared with the linear TotalPrep RNA Amplification Kit (Ambion) from 500 ng original RNA, involving synthesis of double-stranded cDNA by T7-promoter-linked oligo(dT) primers and 14 hours of in-vitro transcription incorporating biotin-labelled nucleotides. Hybridizations onto MouseRef 8 v2.0 Expression BeadChips (Illumina) was performed according to the manufacturerâs recommendations. Two replicates were hybridized from each sample. Chips were stained with streptavidin-Cy3 (GE Healthcare) and scanned using an iScan reader (Illumina). The bead intensities were mapped to gene information using BeadStudio 3.2 (Illumina). Background correction was performed using the Affymetrix robust multiarray analysis (RMA) background correction model. Variance stabilization was performed by log2 scaling, and gene expression normalization was calculated with the method implemented in the lumi package of R-Bioconductor. Samples were hybridised as biological replicates. 26 samples were analyzed. iPSC[GSCneonatal]#1: iPSC day 10 from GSC, clone 1, 2 biological rep iPSC[GSCneonatal]#2: iPSC day 10 from GSC, clone 2, 2 biological rep iPSC[GSCadult]#1: iPSC day 40 from GSC, clone 1, 2 biological rep iPSC[GSCadult]#2: iPSC day 40 from GSC, clone 2, 2 biological rep gPSC[GSCneonatal]#1: gPSC day 10 from GSC, clone 1, 2 biological rep gPSC[GSCneonatal]#2: gPSC day 10 from GSC, clone 2, 2 biological rep gPSC[GSCadult]#1: gPSC day 40 from GSC, clone 1, 2 biological rep gPSC[GSCadult]#2: gPSC day 40 from GSC, clone 2, 2 biological rep ESC: OG2 ESCs, 2 biological rep iPSC[MEF]: iPSC (Tet-4F) from OG2 MEFs, 2 biological rep GSC[neonatal]: GSC day 10, 2 biological rep GSC[adult]: GSC day 40, 2 biological rep MEF: Mouse embryonic fibroblasts, 2 biological rep

Project description:Defining how human pluripotent cell identity is controlled and in particular how naïve pluripotency is acquired during cell reprogramming is crucial for the future applications of pluripotent stem cells. However, the regulatory pathways of naïve cell reprogramming remain incompletely understood. Here, we used genome-wide CRISPR-Cas9 screening to identify novel regulators of primed to naïve pluripotent stem cell reprogramming, including genes that are essential for reprogramming and genes that normally impede reprogramming and whose targeted deletion led to enhanced reprogramming. Integrated analysis defined specific chromatin complexes and signalling pathways as critical regulators of naïve reprogramming, and were largely distinct from regulators of somatic cell reprogramming. Mechanistically, PRC1.3 and PRDM14 are jointly required to transcriptionally repress developmental and gene regulatory factors to ensure naïve cell reprogramming. Additionally, small molecule inhibitors of reprogramming impediments increased the efficiency of naïve cell reprogramming, and are of practical benefit that can improve on current reprogramming methods. Taken together, we have identified novel regulators controlling the establishment of naïve pluripotency in human cells, which will open up new ways to exploit the full potential of pluripotent stem cells. These results also provide new insights into mechanisms that destabilise and reconfigure cell identity during cell state transitions.

Project description:Within the last decade, multiple reprogramming methods have been developed to generate human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) which closely resemble human embryonic stem cells (hESCs). This has led to studies which assess how similar hiPSCs are to hESCs, by evaluating the differences in gene expression, epigenetic marks, and differentiation potential. However, these studies were all performed using hiPSCs acquired from different laboratories, passage numbers, culturing conditions, genetic backgrounds, and reprogramming methods which may contribute to the reported differences. In this study, we reprogrammed the same primary fibroblast population with six different reprogramming methods (episomal vectors, mRNA, microRNA/mRNA transfections (microRNA), minicircle vectors, lentivirus, and Sendai virus) and performed high-throughput sequencing on the hiPSCs with standardized cell culturing conditions and passage number. RNA-sequencing on all of our lines determined that clones derived from the same reprogramming method clustered together, which may indicate the reprogramming method could influence the resulting gene expression profile of the hiPSCs. In comparison to hESCs, a significant proportion of differentially expressed and spliced genes could be attributed to polycomb repressive complex (PRC) targets and the activity of HDAC2, SOX2, NANOG, LEF1, TCF3, and c-MYC transcription factors. Differences in epigenetic signatures (H3K4me3, H3K27me3, and HDAC2 ChIP-seq profiles) also corresponded to the activity of these factors. In addition, some hiPSC lines displayed a more similar PRC transcriptome profile to that of hESCs, and these lines also produced a higher percentage of cardiac troponin-T positive cells after cardiomyocyte differentiations were performed in parallel. Collectively, differential PRC activity contributes to the differences between hESCs and hiPSCs and likely impacts the differentiation potential of hiPSCs.

Project description:Somatic cells can be reprogrammed to pluripotency using different methods. In comparison to pluripotent cells obtained through somatic nuclear transfer, induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) exhibit a higher number of epigenetic errors. Furthermore, most of these abnormalities have been described to be intrinsic to the iPSC technology. Here we investigate whether the aberrant epigenetic patterns detected in iPSCs are specific to transcription factor-mediated reprogramming. We used germline stem cells (GSCs), which are the only adult cell type that can be converted into pluripotent cells (gPSCs) under specific culture conditions, and compared GSC-derived iPSCs and gPSCs at the transcriptomic, epigenetic and functional level. Our results show that both reprogramming methods generate indistinguishable states of pluripotency. GSC-derived iPSCs and gPSCs retained similar levels of donor cell-type memory and exhibited comparable numbers of reprogramming errors. Therefore, our study demonstrates that the epigenetic memory detected in iPSCs is not intrinsic to transcription-factor mediated reprogramming. Total RNA from 12 different in vitro mouse cell lines, 2 technical replicates per sample: germline stem cells (GSCs, 2 independent cell lines), GSC-derived induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs, 4 independent cell lines), germline-derived pluripotent stem cells (gPSCs, 4 independent cell lines), embryonic stem cells (ESCs), fibroblast-derived induced pluripotent stem cells (Fib-iPSCs)
