Telomere shortening in hiPSCs results in neuronal and astrocyte aging

Project description:Telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) plays a crucial role in maintaining telomere length, which are specialised protective caps at the end of chromosomes. The lack of in vitro aging models, particularly for the central nervous system (CNS), has impeded progress in understanding aging and age-associated neurodegenerative diseases. In this study, we aimed to explore the possibility of accelerating aging in vitro using hiPSC (human induced pluripotent stem cell) technology. To achieve this, we utilised CRISPR/Cas9 to generate TERT loss-of-function hiPSCs, resulting in a loss of telomerase function and shortened telomeres. Through directed differentiation, we generated motor neurons and astrocytes to investigate whether telomere shortening could lead to age-associated phenotypes in CNS cell types.

TERT promoter C228T mutation in neural progenitors confers growth advantage following telomere shortening in vivo.

Project description:BackgroundHeterozygous TERT (telomerase reverse transcriptase) promoter mutations (TPMs) facilitate TERT expression and are the most frequent mutation in glioblastoma (GBM). A recent analysis revealed this mutation is one of the earliest events in gliomagenesis. However, no appropriate human models have been engineered to study the role of this mutation in the initiation of these tumors.MethodWe established GBM models by introducing the heterozygous TPM in human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) using a two-step targeting approach in the context of GBM genetic alterations, CDKN2A/B and PTEN deletion, and EGFRvIII overexpression. The impact of the mutation was evaluated through the in vivo passage and in vitro experiment and analysis.ResultsOrthotopic injection of neuronal precursor cells (NPCs) derived from hiPSCs with the TPM into immunodeficient mice did not enhance tumorigenesis compared to TERT promoter wild type NPCs at initial in vivo passage presumably due to relatively long telomeres. However, the mutation recruited GA-Binding Protein and engendered low-level TERT expression resulting in enhanced tumorigenesis and maintenance of short telomeres upon secondary passage as observed in human GBM. These results provide the first insights regarding increased tumorigenesis upon introducing a TPM compared to isogenic controls without TPMs.ConclusionOur novel GBM models presented the growth advantage of heterozygous TPMs for the first time in the context of GBM driver mutations relative to isogenic controls, thereby allowing for the identification and validation of TERT promoter-specific vulnerabilities in a genetically accurate background.

Telomere shortening is associated with over-expression of subtelomeric genesin thyroid tumors.

Project description:To determine whether telomere shortening in thyroid tumors delineates gene expression of subtelomeric regions, we performed RNA sequencing in a set of tumors (n = 15) and compare gene expression profiles of subtelomeric and non-subtelomeric genes between short telomere tumors and normal telomere tumors. We defined as subtelomeric genes, those located within the 5 megabase windows (Mb) adjacent to the telomeres.

Telomere Shortening Impairs PGC Fate Decision [RNA-seq]

Project description:We asked whether telomere shortening impairs differentiation of ESCs into germ cell lineage. Terc-/- ESCs were used to investigate the effects of short telomeres on germ cell specification by in vitro differentiation. Short telomeres greatly reduced induction of PGCLCs from ESCs. Mechanistically, short telomeres resulted in excessive chromatin accessibility, which in turn activated the genes regulated by chromatin. Notably, Fst overexpression reduced BMP-Smad signaling and thus induction of PGCLCs, meanwhile upregulation of MAPK signaling pathway increase somatic lineage differentiation in short telomeres sampels. Moreover, knockin of Terc gene by CRISPR/Cas9 in Terc-/- ESCs restored telomere length and normal gene expression profile, and rescued PGCLC induction, revealing important roles of telomeres in PGC fate decision.
