Project description:Embryonic stem (ES) cells can self-renew indefinitely without losing their differentiation ability to any cell types. Phosphoinositide-3 kinase (PI3K)/Akt signaling plays a pivotal role in various stem cell systems, including the formation of embryonic germ (EG) cells from primordial germ cells and self-renewal of neural stem cells. Here, we show that myristoylated, active form of Akt (myr-Akt) maintained the undifferentiated phenotypes in mouse ES cells without the addition of leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF). The effects of myr-Akt were reversible, because LIF dependence and pluripotent differentiation activity were restored by the deletion of myr-Akt. In addition, myr-Akt-Mer fusion protein, whose enzymatic activity is controlled by 4-hydroxy-tamoxifen, also maintained the pluripotency of not only mouse but also cynomolgus monkey ES cells. These results clearly demonstrate that Akt signaling sufficiently maintains pluripotency in mouse and primate ES cells, and support the notion that PI3K/Akt signaling axis regulates 'stemness' in a broad spectrum of stem cell systems.

Project description:We report that ES cells cultured in ground state (2i and 2i/LIF) culture conditions are heterogeneous and show heterogeneus expression of extraembryonic markers. Using a highly sensitive reporter for the endoderm marker Hex we can sort Hex high and low populations from either serum/LIF or 2i/LIF and demonstrate that they have different functional properties. Here we explored the transcriptional basis of these functional differences and noted that Hex low (HV-) and Hex high (HV+) populations showed more distinct expression profiles in 2i/LIF than in serum/LIF. Additionally in 2i/LIF the HV+ population showed an upregulation of extraembryonic markers (such as trophoblast stem cell specific genes) and also imprinted genes compared to the HV- population, which is not observed when these populations are sorted from serum/LIF. We also analysed the transcriptional effect of LIF in 2i by analysing unsorted ES cells cultured in either 2i alone or 2i with LIF. We observed that the addition of LIF led to an upregulation of extraembryonic markers but did not effect the expression of pluripotency genes, other than Klf4. Additionally, the most significantly upregulated genes from 2i/LIF cultured ES cells compared to 2i cultured ES cells showed the greatest correlation to placental tissue when compared to the GNF tissue specific expression database. This analysis, alongside functional experiments, suggested that HV+ ES cells in 2i/LIF corresponded to an extraembryonically primed population of cells and that the addition of LIF supported this population.
