Project description:Differentiation of mammalian pluripotent cells involves large-scale changes in transcription and, among the molecules that orchestrate these changes, chromatin remodellers are essential to initiate, establish and maintain a new gene regulatory network. The NuRD complex is a highly conserved chromatin remodeller which fine-tunes gene expression in embryonic stem cells. While the function of NuRD in mouse pluripotent cells has been well defined, no study yet has defined NuRD function in human pluripotent cells. We investigated the structure and function of NuRD in human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs). Using immunoprecipitation followed by mass-spectrometry in hiPSCs and in naive or primed mouse pluripotent stem cells, we find that NuRD structure and biochemical interactors are generally conserved. Using RNA sequencing, we find that, whereas in mouse primed stem cells and in mouse naive ES cells, NuRD is required for an appropriate level of transcriptional response to differentiation signals, hiPSCs require NuRD to initiate these responses. This difference indicates that mouse and human cells interpret and respond to induction of differentiation differently.

Project description:Microglia are specialised brain-resident macrophages that arise from primitive macrophages colonising the embryonic brain. Microglia contribute to multiple aspects of brain development, but their precise roles in early human brain remain poorly understood due to limited access to relevant tissues. The generation of brain organoids from induced human pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) recapitulates some key features of human embryonic brain development, but current approaches do not incorporate microglia and thus are lacking. Here, we generated microglia-sufficient brain organoids by co-culturing brain organoids with primitive-like macrophages generated from the same human iPSC (iMac). In organoid co-cultures, iMac differentiated into cells with microglia-like phenotypes and functions (iMicro), and modulated neuronal progenitor cell (NPC) differentiation, limiting NPC proliferation and promoting axonogenesis. Mechanistically, iMicro contained high levels of PLIN2+ lipid droplets that exported cholesterol and its esters which were taken up by NPC in the organoids. We also detected PLIN2+ lipid droplet-loaded microglia in mouse and human embryonic brain. Overall, our approach significantly advances current human brain organoid approaches by incorporating microglial cells, illustrated by the discovery of a key pathway of lipid-mediated crosstalk between microglia and NPC leading to improved neurogenesis.

Project description:<p>Although clinical research has revealed microglia-related inflammatory and immune responses in bipolar disorder (BD) patient brains, it remains unclear how microglia contribute to the pathogenesis of BD. Here, we demonstrated that Serinc2 is associated with susceptibility to BD and showed a reduced expression in BDII patient plasma, which correlated with the disease severity. Using induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) models of sporadic and familial BDII patients, we found that Serinc2 expression showed deficits in iPSC-derived microglia-like cells, resulting in decreased synaptic pruning. Further, combining the microglia-specific Serinc2-deficient mouse and iPSC-microglia models, we found that microglial Serinc2 deficits functioned through attenuating the synthesis of serine-related phospholipids in the plasma membrane, thus resulting in depression-like behavioral abnormalities in the animals. Finally, we showed that the Serinc2-dependent lipid deficits diminished microglial membrane CR3 formation to interrupted synaptic pruning signals from neurons. Therefore, our results indicated that Serinc2 deficits in microglia might contribute to the pathogenesis of BD.</p>

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.
