Mass spectrometry based-proteomic analysis comparing the abundance of RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) between TE03 (I3) human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) and human foreskin fibroblasts (HFFs)

ABSTRACT: Here, we used high-resolution mass spectrometry to identify differentially expressed RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) between TE03 (I3) human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) and human foreskin fibroblasts (HFFs). 2102Ep embryonal carcinoma (EC) cells were used as a reference for pluripotent cells. This data accompanies the manuscript: "Uncovering the RNA-binding protein landscape in the pluripotency network of human embryonic stem cells". Abstract: "Embryonic stem cell (ESC) self-renewal and cell-fate decisions are driven by a broad array of molecular signals. While transcriptional regulators have been extensively studied in human ESCs (hESCs), the extent to which RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) contribute to human pluripotency remains unclear. Here, we carry out a proteome-wide screen and identify 810 proteins that directly bind RNA in hESCs. We reveal that RBPs are preferentially expressed in hESCs and dynamically regulated during exit from pluripotency and early lineage specification. Moreover, we show that nearly 200 RBPs are affected by knockdown of OCT4, a master regulator of pluripotency, several dozen of which are directly bound by this factor. Intriguingly, over 20 percent of the proteins detected in our study are putative DNA- and RNA-binding proteins (DRBPs), among them key transcription factors (TFs). Using fluorescently labeled RNA and seCLIP (single-end enhanced crosslinking and immunoprecipitation) experiments, we discover that the pluripotency-associated STAT3 and OCT4 TFs interact with RNA in hESCs and confirm the direct binding of STAT3 to the conserved NORAD long-noncoding RNA. Taken together, our findings indicate that RBPs have a more widespread role in human pluripotency than previously appreciated, reinforcing the importance of post-transcriptional regulation in stem cell biology".

Project description:Here, we performed RNA-interactome capture (RIC) on nuclear fractions from human embryonic stem cells (hESCs). The poly(A)+ RNA-bound proteome was determined by UV light-mediated cross-linking (CL) of RNAs to proteins in living cells, followed by nuclei isolation, oligo(dT) purification of poly(A)-RNA-protein complexes, and mass spectrometry analysis of captured proteins. As a control, we applied a similar strategy to non-cross-linked (non-CL) samples. RIC was performed in four independent biological replicates.

Project description:Chavez2009 - a core regulatory network of OCT4 in human embryonic stem cells A core OCT4-regulated network has been identified as a test case, to analyase stem cell characteristics and cellular differentiation. This model is described in the article: In silico identification of a core regulatory network of OCT4 in human embryonic stem cells using an integrated approach. Chavez L, Bais AS, Vingron M, Lehrach H, Adjaye J, Herwig R BMC Genomics, 2009, 10:314 Abstract: BACKGROUND: The transcription factor OCT4 is highly expressed in pluripotent embryonic stem cells which are derived from the inner cell mass of mammalian blastocysts. Pluripotency and self renewal are controlled by a transcription regulatory network governed by the transcription factors OCT4, SOX2 and NANOG. Recent studies on reprogramming somatic cells to induced pluripotent stem cells highlight OCT4 as a key regulator of pluripotency. RESULTS: We have carried out an integrated analysis of high-throughput data (ChIP-on-chip and RNAi experiments along with promoter sequence analysis of putative target genes) and identified a core OCT4 regulatory network in human embryonic stem cells consisting of 33 target genes. Enrichment analysis with these target genes revealed that this integrative analysis increases the functional information content by factors of 1.3 - 4.7 compared to the individual studies. In order to identify potential regulatory co-factors of OCT4, we performed a de novo motif analysis. In addition to known validated OCT4 motifs we obtained binding sites similar to motifs recognized by further regulators of pluripotency and development; e.g. the heterodimer of the transcription factors C-MYC and MAX, a prerequisite for C-MYC transcriptional activity that leads to cell growth and proliferation. CONCLUSION: Our analysis shows how heterogeneous functional information can be integrated in order to reconstruct gene regulatory networks. As a test case we identified a core OCT4-regulated network that is important for the analysis of stem cell characteristics and cellular differentiation. Functional information is largely enriched using different experimental results. The de novo motif discovery identified well-known regulators closely connected to the OCT4 network as well as potential new regulators of pluripotency and differentiation. These results provide the basis for further targeted functional studies. This model is hosted on BioModels Database and identified by: MODEL1305010000 .
