Musashi2 is required for the self-renewal and pluripotency of embryonic stem cells

ABSTRACT: Recent studies have shown that the RNA binding protein Musashi 2 (Msi2) plays prominent roles during development and leukemia. Additionally, in embryonic stem cells (ESC) undergoing the early stages of differentiation, Msi2 has been shown to associate with Sox2, which is required for the self-renewal of ESC. These findings led us to examine the effects of Msi2 on the behavior of ESC. Using an shRNA sequence that targets Msi2 and a scrambled shRNA sequence, we determined that knockdown of Msi2 disrupts the self-renewal of ESC and promotes their differentiation. Collectively, our findings argue that Msi2 is required to support the self-renewal and pluripotency of ESC. We used microarrays to better understand global changes in ESC gene expression following the knockdown of the RNA-binding protein Msi2 as compared to control ESC expressing a scrambled shRNA. Mouse embryonic stem cells (D3) were treated with lentivirus engineered for the expression of a Msi2 targeting shRNA sequence or scrambled (control) shRNA sequence. Following selection for infected cells with puromycin, cells were subcultured at low density and allowed to grow for 4 days (see treatment protocol) before RNA was extracted. RNA was collected and analyzed one time for each of the two samples.

Determination of the protein interactome of the transcription factor Sox2 in embryonic stem cells engineered for inducible expression of four reprogramming factors

Project description:Coordinate expression of the somatic cell reprogramming factors Oct4, Sox2, Klf4 and c-Myc within embryonic stem cells preserves the self-renewal of these cells, while allowing for the expression epitope tagged Sox2. Taking advantage of this observation, we engineered embryonic stem cells (i-OSKM-ESC) to inducibly express Oct4, Klf4, c-Myc and an epitope tagged form of Sox2 from a polycistronic element, in the presence of doxycycline. We isolated Sox2 and its associated protein complexes by co-immunoprecipitation. Subsequently, we identified the Sox2-protein interactome in self-renewing embryonic stem cells using an unbiased proteomic screen (Multidimensional Protein Identification Technology [MudPIT]). Affymetrix microarrays were used to characterize the gene expression profile of i-OSKM-ESC in the absence and presence of doxycycline. Mouse embryonic stem cells (KH2) were engineered to express Oct4, epitope tagged Sox2, Klf4 and c-Myc in the presence of doxycyline, to produce i-OSKM-ESC. The i-OSKM-ESC were cultured in the absence or presence of doxycyline (4 Âµg/mL) for 24 hours. RNA was extracted from each condition, and used for microarray analysis.

Genome-wide analysis of Musashi-2 targets reveals novel functions in governing epithelial cell migration

Project description:The Musashi-2 (Msi2) RNA-binding protein maintains stem cell self-renewal and promotes oncogenesis by enhancing cell proliferation in hematopoietic and gastrointestinal tissues. However, it is unclear how Msi2 recognizes and regulates mRNA targets in vivo and whether Msi2 primarily controls cell growth in all cell types. Here we identified Msi2 targets with HITSCLIP and revealed that Msi2 primarily recognizes mRNA 3UTRs at sites enriched in multiple copies of UAG motifs in epithelial progenitor cells. RNA-seq and ribosome profiling demonstrated that Msi2 promotes targeted mRNA decay without affecting translation efficiency. Unexpectedly, the most prominent Msi2 targets identified are key regulators that govern cell motility with a high enrichment in focal adhesion and extracellular matrix-receptor interaction, in addition to regulators of cell growth and survival. Loss of Msi2 stimulates epithelial cellmigration, increases the number of focal adhesion and also compromises cell growth. These findings provide new insights into the molecular mechanisms of Msi2âs recognition and repression of targets and uncover a key function of Msi2 in restricting epithelial cell migration.

Polycomb-like 2 associates with PRC2 and is required for mouse embryonic stem cell

Project description:Polycomb group (PcG) proteins are highly conserved epigenetic transcriptional repressors important for the control of numerous developmental gene expression programs and have recently been implicated in the modulation of embryonic stem cell (ESC) identity. We identified the PcG protein PCL2 (polycomb-like 2) in a genome-wide screen for novel regulators of self-renewal and pluripotency and predicted that it would play an important role in mouse ESC fate determination. Using multiple biochemical strategies, we provide evidence that PCL2 is a novel Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 (PRC2)-associated protein in mouse ESCs. Knockdown of Pcl2 in ESCs resulted in heightened self-renewal characteristics, defects in differentiation and altered patterns of histone methylation. Through integration of global gene expression and promoter occupancy analyses of both PCL2 and PRC2 components EZH2 and SUZ12, we have predicted PCL2 target genes and formulated regulatory networks describing the role of PCL2 both in modulating transcription of ESC self-renewal genes in undifferentiated ESCs as well as developmental regulators during early commitment and differentiation. Cells were stably expressing Pcl2 shRNA or shRNA mismatch control sequences. Hybridizations of three biological replicates for both the control and Pcl2 shRNA clone were performed.

Transformation of the intestinal epithelium by the MSI2 RNA binding protein

Project description:The MSI2 RNA binding protein has recently emerged as a potent oncogene playing key roles in hematopoietic stem cell homeostasis and malignant hematopoiesis. Here we demonstrate that MSI2 is expressed in the intestinal stem cell compartment, that its expression is elevated in colorectal adenocarcinomas, and that MSI2 loss of function abrogates colorectal cancer cell growth. We thus examined the oncogenic consequences of MSI2 gain of function in the intestinal epithelium with a drug inducible mouse model. Strikingly, MSI2 induction alone was sufficient to phenocopy the majority of morphological and molecular consequences of acute loss of the APC tumor suppressor in the intestinal epithelium. We demonstrate that this phenotype is independent of both the activation of the other oncogenic Musashi family member, Msi1, and of canonical Wnt pathway activation. Transcriptome-wide RNA-binding analysis indicates that MSI2 acts as a pleiotropic inhibitor of known intestinal tumor suppressors including Lrig1, Bmpr1a, Cdkn1a, and Pten. Finally, we demonstrate that inhibition of the PDK-AKT-mTORC1 axis downstream of Pten rescues oncogenic consequences of MSI2 induction. Taken together, our findings identify MSI2 as a central component in an unappreciated oncogenic pathway promoting intestinal transformation. 2 wild-type samples, 2 TRE-Msi2 samples

Musashi 2 regulates normal hematopoiesis and accelerates leukemogenesis (LK and MS12-inducible)

Project description:We demonstrate that Msi2 is the predominant form expressed in hematopoietic stem cells (HSC), and its knockdown leads to reduced engraftment and depletion of HSCs in vivo. Overexpression of Msi2 in a mouse model increases HSC cell cycle progression and cooperates with BCR-ABL1 to induce an aggressive leukemia. MSI2 is over-expressed in human myeloid leukemia, and expression levels directly correlate with decreased patient survival, thereby defining MSI2 expression as a novel prognostic marker in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Depletion of MSI2 in human myeloid leukemia cells leads to decreased proliferation and apoptosis. These data implicate the MSI2 RNA binding protein in myeloid leukemogenesis and identify a novel potential target for therapy in AML. Hematopoietic stem cells and progenitor cells (LineageLow, Sca1-, Kit+; LK) from control and transgenic MSI2-inducible mice were isolated and RNA was extracted using Qiagen RNeasy Micro Kit according to manufacturers instruction. cDNA was fragmented and biotinylated before hybridization onto Affymetrix Mouse Expression Array 430 2.0.

Jarid1b targets genes regulating development and is involved in neural differentiation [expression array]

Project description:The H3K4me2/3 histone demethylase Jarid1b (Kdm5b/Plu1) is dispensable for embryonic stem cell (ESC) self-renewal, but essential for ESC differentiation along the neural lineage. During neural differentiation, Jarid1b depleted ESCs fail to efficiently silence lineage-inappropriate genes, specifically stem and germ cell genes. Our results delineate an essential role for Jarid1b-mediated transcriptional control during ESC differentiation. Control (LKOScr) or Jarid1b knockdown (LKOJarid1b) mouse ES cells were used.Each experiment was performed in triplicates.
