Direct Cell Conversion of Human Fibroblasts to Monocytic phagocytes by Forced Expression of Monocytic Regulatory Network Elements

ABSTRACT: Direct cell conversion is now expected to apply to therapeutic purposes. Although that has been succeeded in several cell types, the mechanism or general way to identify the key transcription factors are still unclear. In addition, most of the cases are not completely identical with the target cells. In previous work, we suggested that cell status is maintained by a homeostatic network of limited number of TFs and no single transcription factor is both necessary and sufficient to drive the differentiation process. Here, identifying the key TFs of human monocyte by combining comparative gene expression analysis and literature based text-mining, we mimicked the monocytic regulatory network in human dermal fibroblasts to induce direct cell conversion of the fibroblasts to monocytes. We suggested that although it is a primary master TF, single TF is not sufficient to induce the direct cell conversion and orchestrated TF regulation is necessary to complete the cell conversion. Total RNA obtained from human dermal fibroblasts(FIB), human CD14+ monocytes(MON), mock lentivirus vector transduced fibroblasts (FIB-mock), SPI1 transduced fibroblasts (FIB-SPI1), and SPI1, CEBPA, MNDA, IRF8 transduced fibroblasts(FIB-4Fs). The fold change was computed compared with fibroblasts or FIB-mock.

Transcription factors interfering with dedifferentiation induce direct conversion

Project description:Although transcription factor(TF)s regulate differentiation-related processes, including dedifferentiation and direct conversion, functional interactions between TFs regulating these processes are not well understood. Here we show that TFs preventing dedifferentiation are able to induce direct conversion. Using a neural lineage cell line and a large number of TFs expressed in it, we found a subset of TFs whose overexpression strongly interfered with dedifferentiation triggered by a procedure to induce induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC), through a maintenance mechanism of the cell-type-specific transcriptional profile. Strikingly, the maintenance activity of the interfering TF set was strong enough to induce the cell line-specific transcriptional profile when overexpressed in a heterologous cell type. In addition, TFs that interfered with dedifferentiation in hepatic lineage cells involved known TFs with induction activity for hepatic lineage cells. Our results suggest that dedifferentiation suppresses a cell-type-specific transcriptional profile, which is primarily maintained by a small subset of TFs capable of inducing direct conversion. We anticipate that this functional correlation might be applicable in various cell types, which may include cancer cells, and might facilitate identification of TFs with induction activity to understand differentiation and tumorigenesis Examination of binding of 3 transcription factors and histone modifications in Neural progenitor like cells.

Direct cell conversion from human dermal fibroblast to adipocyte

Project description:To investigate the effect of ZNF395 on adipogenesis, we tested whether ZNF395 enhance cell conversion from human dermal Fibroblast (FIB) to Adipocyte (ADP). PPARG2 was reported as a master regulator and can induce adipogenesis in non-adipogenic fibroblasts. We transduced PPARG2 with or without ZNF395 in FIB with lentivirus. Interestingly, co-transduction of PPARG2 and ZNF395 showed higher occurrence of adipocyte-like cells as compared with PPARG2 alone. Moreover, genes related with lipid metabolic process and lipid transport was significantly up-regulated in combination of PPARG2 and ZNF395. These results suggest that ZNF395 co-ordinate the transcriptional regulatory pathway with PPARG2, necessary for the induction of adipogenesis. Total RNA was obteined from human dermal fibroblast transduced with mock lentivirus vector (FIB_ctrl), PPARG2 (FIB_PPARG2) and co-transduced with PPARG2 and ZNF395 (FIB_PPARG2+ZNF395).

microRNA profiling of primary human keratinocytes and primary human dermal fibroblasts

Project description:In search for factors, overexpression of which in human dermal fibroblasts causes direct conversion to cells similar to keratinocytes, micro RNA expression profiles of human primary keratinocytes and human primary dermal fibroblasts are investigated. Skin samples obtained from 3 different sites of 1 subject were used for establishment of 3 primary keratinocytes and 3 primary dermal fibroblasts. Thus obtained 3 primary keratinocytes and primary dermal fibroblasts underwent micro RNA profiling.

Single-cell epigenome analysis identifies transcriptional events controlling direct conversion of human fibroblasts to pancreatic ductal-like cells [FI-snMultiome-seq]

Project description:Cell fate can be reprogrammed by ectopic expression of lineage-specific transcription factors (TF). However, the exact cell state transitions during transdifferentiation are still poorly understood. Here, we have generated pancreatic exocrine cells of ductal epithelial identity from human fibroblasts using a set of six TFs. We mapped the molecular determinants of lineage dynamics using a factor-indexing method based on single-nuclei multiome sequencing (FI-snMultiome-seq) that enables dissecting the role of each individual TF and pool of TFs in cell fate conversion. We show that transition from mesenchymal fibroblast identity to epithelial pancreatic exocrine fate involves two deterministic steps: an endodermal progenitor state defined by activation of HHEX with FOXA2 and SOX17, and a temporal GATA4 activation essential for maintenance of pancreatic cell fate program. Collectively, our data suggest that transdifferentiation – although being considered a direct cell fate conversion method – occurs through transient progenitor states orchestrated by stepwise activation of distinct TFs
