Effect of ablation of Max gene expression on ES cells cultured under conventional or 2i/Nam condition.

ABSTRACT: c-Myc is one of key players that are crucially involved in maintaining the undifferentiated state and the self-renewal of ESCs. To understand the mechanism by which c-Myc helps preserve these prominent characteristics of ESCs, we generated null-ES cells for the Max gene, which encodes the best characterized partner protein for all Myc family proteins. Although Myc/Max complexes have been widely regarded as crucial regulators of the ESC status, our data reveal that ESCs do not absolutely require these complexes in so-called ground state or related conditons and that this requirement is restricted to conventional ES culture conditions without using a MAPK inhibitor. Simply Dox-treated or Nanog (WT or D67G mutant)-rescued Max-null ESCs which were cultured under conventional culture condition and 2i/Nam-treated completely Max-null ES cells from which Dox-regulatable cDNA was removed were used for RNA source. Samples from Dox-untreated Max-null ESCs cultured under conventional culture condition were used as reference samples for Dox-treated cells and Nanog-rescued cells, while a sample from wild-type ESCs cultured under 2i/Nam condition was used as a reference sample for completely Max-null ES cells cultured with 2i/Nam.

Embryonic stem cells (ESCs) can self-renew indefinitely under the governance of ESC-specific transcriptional circuitries in which each transcriptional factor regulates distinct or overlapping sets of genes with other factors. c-Myc is a key player that is crucially involved in maintaining the undifferentiated state and the self-renewal of ESCs. However, the mechanism by which c-Myc helps preserve the ESC status is still poorly understood. Here we addressed this question by performing loss-of-fun ...[more]

Project description:Mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells are isolated from the inner cell mass of blastocysts, and can be preserved in vitro in a naive inner-cell-mass-like configuration by providing exogenous stimulation with leukaemia inhibitory factor (LIF) and small molecule inhibition of ERK1/ERK2 and GSK3b signalling (termed 2i/LIF conditions). Hallmarks of naive pluripotency include driving Oct4 (also known as Pou5f1) transcription by its distal enhancer, retaining a pre-inactivation X chromosome state, global reduction in DNA methylation and in H3K27me3 repressive chromatin mark deposition on developmental regulatory gene promoters.Upon withdrawal of 2i/LIF, naM-CM-/ve mouse ES cells can drift towards a primed pluripotent state resembling that of the post-implantation epiblast. Although human ES cells share several molecular features with naive mouse ES cells, they also share a variety of epigenetic properties with primed murine epiblast stem cells (EpiSCs). These include use of the proximal enhancer element to maintain OCT4 expression, pronounced tendency for X chromosome inactivation in most female human ES cells, increase in DNA methylation and prominent deposition of H3K27me3 and bivalency acquisition on lineage regulatory genes. The feasibility for establishing human ground state naive pluripotency in vitro with equivalent molecular and functional features to those characterized in rodent ES cells remains to be defined. Here we establish defined conditions that facilitate the derivation of genetically unmodified human naive pluripotent stem cells from already established primed human ES cells, from somatic cells through induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cell reprogramming or directly from blastocysts. The novel naive pluripotent cells validated herein retain molecular characteristics and functional properties that are highly similar to mouse naive ES cells, and distinct from conventional primed human pluripotent cells. This includes competence in the generation of cross-species chimaeric embryos that underwent organogenesis following microinjection of human naive iPS cells into mouse morulas. Collectively, our findings establish new avenues for regenerative medicine, patient-specific iPS cell disease modelling and the study of early human development in vitro and in vivo. Total of 12 samples of naM-CM-/ve and primed human ESC lines were analyzed for gene expression. Many of the lines analyzed are genetically matched (H9, WIBR3).
