Project description:In this study, we reprogrammed fibroblasts from two azoospermic Klinefelter syndrome (KS) patients, and two healthy male and one healthy female donor with an efficient integration-free method using episomal plasmids and laminin-521 (LN521). Whole genome transcriptomics analysis showed differentially expressed genes between KS and healthy male donors with enrichment in gene ontology (GO) terms associated with fertility, cardiovascular development, ossification and brain development, for both KS hiPSCs and fibroblasts, correlating with the KS clinical phenotype. Thorough XCI analysis combining transcriptomics data, RNA FISH and H3K27me3 staining, revealed skewed XCI in one KS fibroblast line and variability in XCI state of KS hiPSCs similar to female hiPSCs, showing either XaXi or XaXe status. Furthermore, we found up-regulated X-linked genes involved in nervous system development, synaptic transmission as well as metabolic processes supporting the potential use of KS derived hiPSC as an in vitro model for KS.

Project description:Klinefelter syndrome derived hiPSCs show similar XCI behavior as female hPSCs

Project description:During culture, female human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs), including human induced PSCs (hiPSCs) exhibit a propensity for erosion of X-chromosome inactivation (XCI). This phenomenon is characterized by loss of XIST RNA expression and reactivation of a subset of X-linked genes from the inactive X chromosome (Xi). XCI erosion, despite its common occurrence, is often overlooked by the stem cell community, hindering a complete understanding of its impact on both fundamental and translational applications of hiPSCs. Investigating erosion dynamics in female hiPSCs, our study reveals that XCI erosion is a frequent yet heterogeneous phenomenon, resulting in reactivation of several X-linked genes. The likelihood of a gene to erode increases for those located on the short arm of the X chromosome and within H3K27me3-enriched domains. Paradoxically, genes that typically escape XCI are hypersensitive to loss of XIST RNA and XCI erosion. This implies that XIST RNA normally restrain expression levels of these genes on the Xi. Importantly, increased X-linked gene expression upon erosion does not globally impact (hydroxy)methylation levels in hiPSCs or at imprinted regions. By exploring diverse differentiation paradigms, such as trilineage commitment and cardiac differentiation, our study reveals the persistence of abnormal XCI patterns throughout differentiation. This finding has significant implications for fundamental research, translational applications, and clinical use of stem cells. We underscore the importance of raising awareness within the stem cell community regarding XCI erosion and advocate for its inclusion in comprehensive hiPSC quality control.

Project description:X chromosome inactivation (XCI) is a dosage compensation phenomenon that occurs in females. Initiation of XCI depends on Xist RNA, which triggers silencing of one of the two X chromosomes, except for XCI escape genes that continue to be biallelically expressed. In the soma XCI is stably maintained with continuous Xist expression. How Xist impacts XCI maintenance remains an open question. Here we conditionally deleted Xist in hematopoietic system of mice and report differentiation and cell cycle defects in female hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HPSCs). By utilizing female HSPCs and mouse embryonic fibroblasts, we find that X-linked genes show variable tolerance to Xist loss. Specifically, XCI escape genes exhibit preferential transcriptional upregulation, which associates with low H3K27me3 occupancy, and high chromatin accessibility that accommodates preexisting binding of transcription factors such as Yin Yang 1 (YY1) at the basal state. We conclude that Xist is necessary for gene-specific silencing during XCI maintenance and impacts lineage-specific cell differentiation and proliferation during hematopoiesis.
