A genome wide RNAi screen in mouse embryonic stem cells identifies Mp1 as a key mediator of differentiation

ABSTRACT: Despite intense investigation of intrinsic and extrinsic factors that regulate pluripotency, the process of initial fate commitment of embryonic stem (ES) cells is still poorly understood. Here, we used a genome wide shRNA screen in mouse ES cells to identify genes that are essential for initiation of differentiation. Knockdown of the scaffolding protein Mek binding protein 1 (Mp1, also known as Lamtor3, Map2k1ip1) stimulated self-renewal of ES cells, blocked differentiation and promoted proliferation. Fibroblast growth factor 4 (FGF4) signaling is required for initial fate commitment of ES cells. Knockdown of Mp1 inhibited FGF4-induced differentiation but did not alter FGF4 driven proliferation. This uncoupling of differentiation and proliferation was also observed when oncogenic Ras isoforms were over expressed in ES cells. Knockdown of Mp1 redirected FGF4 signaling from differentiation towards pluripotency and upregulated the pluripotency-related genes Esrrb, Rex1, Tcl1 and Sox2. We also found that human germ cell tumors express low amounts of Mp1 in the invasive embryonic carcinoma and seminoma histologies and higher amounts of Mp1 in the non-invasive carcinoma in situ precursor and differentiated components. Knockdown of Mp1 in invasive germ cell tumor cells resulted in resistance to differentiation, thereby showing a functional role for Mp1 both in normal differentiation of ES cells as well as in germ cell cancer. 8 samples were analyzed, representing four different experimental conditions of which each condition was analyzed by two different shRNAs to prevent off target artifacts.

The FGF4-dependent phosphoproteome in mouse embryonic stem cells

Project description:Protein kinase signalling is a major mechanism by which embryonic stem cell pluripotency and differentiation is controlled. However, the pathways and components that regulate embryonic stem cell identity have not been systematically defined. Here, we employ FGF4 signalling as a model system to investigate phosphoproteome dynamics in differentiating mouse embryonic stem cells. We report identification and quantitation of more than 10,000 phosphopeptides, of which hundreds of phosphophoylation sites are regulated more than 2-fold by acute FGF4 stimulation. We hypothesise that phosphorylation sites in this dataset are relevant for regulating the transition of mouse embryonic stem cells from pluripotency towards lineage specific differentiation.

Dynamics of Sox2 occupancy during the differentiation of embryonic stem cells into trophoblast stem cells.

Project description:To understand the mechanism underlying the versatility in transcriptional regulation by Sox2, we compared genome-wide binding sites of Sox2 in embryonic stem (ES) cells and trophoblast stem (TS) cells by chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by high-throughput sequencing (ChIP-seq). A tetracycline-inducible Oct3/4 knockout ES cell line ZHBTc4 was treated with Tet for 4 days in the presence of FGF4 and mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs).

Heparan Sulfation Dependent FGF Signalling Maintains ES Cells Primed for Differentiation in a Heterogeneous State

Project description:Embryonic stem (ES) cells continuously decide whether to maintain pluripotency or differentiate. While exogenous LIF and BMP4 perpetuate a pluripotent state, less is known about factors initiating differentiation. We show that heparan sulfate (HS) proteoglycans are critical co-receptors for signals inducing ES cell differentiation. Genetic targeting of NDST1 and 2, two enzymes required for N-sulfation of proteoglycans, blocked differentiation. This phenotype was rescued by HS presented in trans or by soluble heparin. NaClO3-, which reduces sulfation of proteoglycans, potently blocked differentiation of wild type cells. Mechanistically, N-sulfation was identified to be critical for functional autocrine FGF4 signalling. Micro array analysis identified the pluripotency maintaining transcription factors Nanog, KLF2/4/8, Tbx3 and Tcf3 to be negatively regulated, whereas markers of differentiation such as Gbx2, Dnmt3b, FGF5 and Brachyury were induced by sulfation-dependent-FGFR signalling. We show that several of these genes are heterogeneously expressed in ES cells and targeting of heparan sulfation or FGFR-signalling facilitated a homogenous Nanog/KLF4/Tbx3 positive ES cell state. This finding suggests that the recently discovered heterogeneous state of ES cells is regulated by HS-dependent FGFR signalling. Similarly, culturing blastocysts with NaClO3- eliminated GATA6 positive primitive endoderm progenitors generating a homogenous Nanog positive inner cell mass. Functionally, reduction of sulfation robustly improved de novo ES cell derivation efficiency. We conclude that N-sulfated HS is required for FGF4 signalling to maintain ES cells primed for differentiation in a heterogeneous state. Inhibiting this pathway facilitates a more naÃ¯ve ground state. Four groups with three biological replicates and a technical duplicate in each

Global gene expression analysis of Ncoa3 knockdown in mouse embryonic stem cells

Project description:Orphan nuclear receptor Esrrb is vital in maintaining ES cells and like Oct4, Sox2 and Nanog is essential for self-renewal and pluripotency. Esrrb functions in somatic cells via LBD/AF-2-dependent coactivator recruitment to target genes. Here we show that in ES cells coactivator recruitment is similarly required and identify Ncoa3 as the Esrrb coactivator needed for activation of its target genes. Ncoa3 is essential for self-renewal and the induction of pluripotency in reprogramming, and genome-wide analysis of Ncoa3 binding reveals extensive overlap with Esrrb and pluripotency factors along with marks of active genes. Mechanistically, we show Ncoa3 is specifically required to bridge RNApol2 to Esrrb. We thus identify a new member of the ES pluripotency network and describe Esrrb and Ncoa3 as key factors linking core pluripotency factors to the general transcription machinery. Three biological replicates each for control scrambled shRNA and Ncoa3 shRNA transfected E14 mouse ESCs. The global gene expression profiles of Ncoa3 knockdown cells were compared to control scrambled shRNA knockdown cells 4 days post-transfection.

Induction of trophoblast stem cells from embryonic stem cells by forced repression of Oct3/4.

Project description:To characterize the transdifferentiation of embryonic stem (ES) cells into trophoblast stem (TS) cells triggered by forced repression of Oct3/4, we performed whole-genome expression analysis after tetracycline (Tet)-induced knockout of Oct3/4. A Tet-inducible Oct3/4 knockout ES cell line ZHBTc4 was treated with Tet for 4 days in the presence of FGF4 and mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs). A total of 15 samples from Day 0 to Day 4 were analyzed in three biological replicates.

Genotyping and analysis of chromosome copy number variation (CNV) from pediatric primary intracranial germ cell tumor

Project description:Intracranial pediatric germ cell tumors (GCTs) have different histological differentiations, prognosis and clinical behaviors. Prognosis of patients with germinoma and mature teratoma is good, while patients with other types of GCTs, termed as nongerminomatous malignant germ cell tumors (NGMGCTs), require more extensive drug and irradiation treatment regimen. The mechanisms underlying different prognosis of various GCT subgroups remain elusive. We presented CNVs correlating with GCTs malignancy and clinical risk. 16 central nervous system GCT cases with different histological subtypes are subjected to genotyping and CNVs analysis. The histological subtypes are germinoma, mixed GCT of germinoma and mature teratoma, immature teratoma, mixed GCTs of NGMGCTs category, yolk sac tumor, immature teratoma, and embryonal carcinoma.

Transcription profiling of mouse ES cells overexpressing Akt response to LIF

Project description:Embryonic stem (ES) cells can self-renew indefinitely without losing their differentiation ability to any cell types. Phosphoinositide-3 kinase (PI3K)/Akt signaling plays a pivotal role in various stem cell systems, including the formation of embryonic germ (EG) cells from primordial germ cells and self-renewal of neural stem cells. Here, we show that myristoylated, active form of Akt (myr-Akt) maintained the undifferentiated phenotypes in mouse ES cells without the addition of leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF). The effects of myr-Akt were reversible, because LIF dependence and pluripotent differentiation activity were restored by the deletion of myr-Akt. In addition, myr-Akt-Mer fusion protein, whose enzymatic activity is controlled by 4-hydroxy-tamoxifen, also maintained the pluripotency of not only mouse but also cynomolgus monkey ES cells. These results clearly demonstrate that Akt signaling sufficiently maintains pluripotency in mouse and primate ES cells, and support the notion that PI3K/Akt signaling axis regulates 'stemness' in a broad spectrum of stem cell systems.
