Direct conversion of fibroblasts into stably expandable neural stem cells

ABSTRACT: Recent advances have suggested that direct induction of neural stem cells could provide an alternative to derivation from somatic tissues or pluripotent cells. Here we show direct derivation of stably expandable NS cells from mouse fibroblasts through a curtailed version of reprogramming to pluripotency. By constitutively inducing Sox2, Klf4, and c-Myc while strictly limiting Oct4 activity to the initial phase of reprogramming, we generated neurosphere-like colonies that could be expanded for more than 50 passages and do not depend on sustained expression of the reprogramming factors. These induced NS (iNS) cells uniformly display morphological and molecular features of NS cells such as the expression of Nestin, Pax6, and Olig2 and have a similar genome-wide transcriptional profile to brain-derived NSCs. iNS cells can differentiate into neurons, astrocytes and oligodendrocytes in vitro and in vivo. Our results demonstrate that functional neural stem cells can be generated from somatic cells by factor-driven induction. mRNA extracted from Murine Embryonic Fibroblasts (MEF), murine Embryonic Stem Cell (ES), murine Neuronal Stem Cell (NS) and three murine induces Neuronal Stem Cell clones 2, 3 and 5 (iNS2, iNS3, iNS5) has been hybridized on Illumina MouseWG6 V2 arrays for genome wide expression analysis. Samples were run at least as triple, MEF, iNS3, iNS5 as quadruple technical replicates. Differential gene expression analysis has been performed on the grouped expression data with the Murine Embryonic Fibroblasts group as the reference.

Conversion of Mouse Fibroblasts to Sphere Cells with Differentiation Potential Induced by AlbuMAXI-containing Medium

Project description:Analysis of gene expression levels during Fibroblast to sphere cell conversion induced by albumax I containing medium. Murine embryonic fibroblasts (MEF) can be converted to sphere cells in the presence of arachidonic acid and pluronic - F 68. The converted cells exhibit stem cell like properties and and have the potential to differentiate into all the three embryonic germ layers. Our results provide important information on genes that are up- or down-regulated during the reprogramming/conversion process. Total RNA was isolated from murine embryonic fibroblasts, normal mouse embryonic stem (MES) cells and converted sphere cells. MES cells were taken as a control/reference population. Three replicated were included for each sample.

Identification of mouse embryonic fibroblast secreted protein factors that are responsible for reprogramming human pluripotent stem cell metabolism

Project description:Previously we found that human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) utilize glucose differently depending on the presence of the feeder cells, which are mouse embryonic fibroblasts, or MEFs. More specifically, feeder-free cultured hPSCs are more reliant on glycolysis for proliferation. Therefore, we hypothesized that secreted factors by MEFs might be responsible for reprogramming the metabolism of hPSCs. To test this hypothesis, we separated the components in the MEF-conditioned medium by using size-based fractionation columns, and tested whether each fraction alters the reliance of feeder-free hPSCs on glucose. We concluded that it was the protein fraction of the MEF-conditioned medium potentially responsible for reprogramming glycolytic metabolism in hPSCs. To further understand which specific protein(s) could alter the metabolism of hPSCs, we here conduct mass spectrometry based proteomics experiment.

SUMO safeguards somatic and pluripotent cell identities by enforcing distinct chromatin states

Project description:Purposes: (1) compare the SUMO chromatin landscape between mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) and embryonic stem cells (ESc) (2) Decipher how hyposumoylation enhances MEF to induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSc) reprogramming (3) Decipher how hyposumoylation enhances ESc to 2C-like cells conversion. Methods : (1) ChIP-seq in MEFs and ESc for SUMO isoforms and histone marks. (2) ChIP-seq for transcription factors and histone marks at day 4 of MEF to iPSc reprogramming comparing wild type (shCtrl) and hyposumoylated cells (shUbc9). ATAC-Seq at day 4 of MEF to iPSc reprogramming comparing wild type (shCtrl) and hyposumoylated cells (shUbc9). RNA-Seq in MEFs, iPSc, at day 4 and day 7 of MEF to iPSc reprogramming comparing wild type (shCtrl) and hyposumoylated cells (shUbc9). (3) RNA-Seq in ESc comparing wild-type (siCtrl) and hyposumoylated cells (siUbc9). Results: (1) SUMO chromatin landscape is highly different between MEFs and ESc and associates to distinct chromatin marks. (2) Hyposumoylation enhances MEFs to iPSc reprogramming by favoring the extinction of the MEF transcriptional program and redistributing pluripotency factors from MEF enhancers toward ES enhancers. (3) Hyposumoylation enhances ES to 2C-like conversion by destabilizing heterochromatin thus resulting in an activation of the 2-cell transcriptional program. Conclusion: SUMO at chromatin is gate-keeper of cell-identity.

Transcriptome analysis of cells of different cycling speed during Yamanaka reprogramming

Project description:Reprogramming somatic cells to induced pluripotency by Yamanaka factors is usually slow and inefficient, and is thought to be a stochastic process. We identified a privileged somatic cell state, from which acquisition of pluripotency could occur in a non-stochastic manner. Subsets of murine hematopoietic progenitors are privileged, whose progeny cells predominantly adopt the pluripotent fate with activation of endogenous Oct4 locus after 4-5 divisions in reprogramming conditions. Privileged cells display an ultrafast cell cycle of ~8 hours. In fibroblasts, a subpopulation cycling at a similar ultrafast speed is observed after 6 days of factor expression, and is increased by p53-knockdown. This ultrafast-cycling population accounts for >99% of the bulk reprogramming activity in wildtype or p53-knockdown fibroblasts. We compared the transcriptomes of the fast cycling cells with those of slower hematopoietic progenitors, bulk fibroblasts and established iPS cells. 3-5 replicates for each of the six cell types were included: 4 replicates for established iPS cells, 4 replicates for bulk mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEF), 4 replicates for fast cycling MEF, 4 replicates for slow cycling MEF, 5 replicates for fast cycling granulocyte monocyte progenitors (GMP) and 3 replicates for slow cycling GMP.
