Project description:The overexpression of transcription factors Oct4, Sox2, Klf4, and c-Myc reprograms a somatic nucleus to one that is transcriptionally and epigenetically indistinguishable from an embryonic stem (ES) cell. However, it is still unclear if transcription factors can completely convert the nucleus of a differentiated cell into that of a distantly related cell type such that it maintains complete transcriptional and epigenetic reprogramming in the absence of exogenous factor expression. To test this idea, we screened a library of doxycycline-inducible vectors encoding neural stem cell (NSC)-expressed genes and found that stable, self-maintaining NSC-like cells could be induced under defined growth conditions after transduction of transcription factors. These induced NSCs (iNSCs) were characterized in the absence of exogenous factor induction and were shown to be transcriptionally, epigenetically, and functionally similar to endogenous embryonic cortical NSCs. Importantly, iNSCs could be generated from multiple adult cell types including liver cells and B-cells with genetic rearrangements. Our results show that self-maintaining proliferative neural cells can be induced from non-ectodermal cells by expressing specific combinations of transcription factors. ChIP-seq data from primary neural progenitor cells (Sox2-GFP) and induced neural progenitor cells were generated by deep sequencing using Illumina Hi-Seq 2000.

Project description:Brief expression of pluripotency-associated factors such as OCT4, KLF4, SOX2 and c-MYC (OKSM), in combination with differentiation-inducing signals, was reported to trigger transdifferentiation of fibroblasts into alternative cell types. Here, we show that OKSM expression gives rise to both induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) and iNSCs under conditions that were previously shown to induce only NSC transdifferentiation. Fibroblast-derived iNSC colonies silenced retroviral transgenes and reactivated silenced X chromosomes, both hallmarks of pluripotent stem cells. Moreover, lineage tracing via an Oct4-CreER labeling system demonstrated that virtually all iNSC colonies originate from cells transiently expressing Oct4, whereas ablation of Oct4-positive cells prevented iNSC formation. Lastly, use of an alternative transdifferentiation cocktail that lacks OCT4 and was reportedly unable to support induced pluripotency, yielded iPSCs and iNSCs carrying the Oct4-CreER-derived lineage label. Together, these data suggest that iNSC generation using OKSM and related reprogramming factors requires passage through a transient iPSC state. 5 samples were anlyzed in total, 2 induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), 1 neural stem cells (NSCs) and 2 induced NSCs (iNSCs)

Project description:This experiment aimed at characterising the modulatory role of murine induced Neural Stem Cells (iNSCs) and Neural Stem Cells (NSCs) on macrophages (MPs) exposed to LPS in vitro. Naïve MPs were polarized into an M1-like phenotype with LPS, and then co-cultured with 1:1 ratios of iNSCs in a trans-well system that avoids cell-to-cell contacts. Naïve MPs, LPS-stimulated MPs and LPS-stimulated MPs co-cultured with NSCs were used as controls.

Project description:Multiple diseases are associated with a pathological hypoxia in the brain, resulting in various neurological sequalae. Understanding the response to hypoxia of neurons and neural stem cells (NSCs) will help devise better therapeutic strategies. We have exposed primary neurons (PN) and neural stem cells to 1% O2. Both cell types survived well, and neurons showed no obvious morphological changes. The NSCs, however, became fusiform, and displayed a population of cells with accelerated transition in cell cycle. Gene expression profile through microarray analysis revealed major differences in response to hypoxia between NSC and PN. Not only the number of genes significantly changes was ~five-fold higher in NSC, but the types of genes involved and the direction of change was quite different. In particular, NSCs up-regulated multiple growth factors and down-regulated most other cytokines and metalloproteases , while PN down-regulated most neuronal-specific genes, up-regulated growth factors, with no major effect on cytokines. We conclude that hypoxia 1- accelerates cell cycle transition of NSC in a post-transcriptional fashion ; 2-affects cytokines in NSC but not in neurons; 3-result in up-regulation of multiple growth factors in NSC and PN; and 4-suppresses neuronal specific functions. 1) Primary neurons (PN) and neural stem cells were exposed to 1% O2. 2) Gene expression profile through microarray analysis was used to determine the differences in response to hypoxia between NSC and PN.

Project description:The differentiation capability of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) towards certain cell types for disease modelling and drug screening assays might be influenced by their somatic cell of origin. Here, we have compared the neural induction of human iPSCs generated from either fetal neural stem cells (fNSCs), dermal fibroblasts or CD34+ hematopoietic stem cells. Neural progenitor cells (NSCs) and neurons could be generated at similar efficiencies from all iPSCs. Whole genome transcriptome analysis and an expression analysis of neural genes in iPSC-derived NSCs revealed a separation of neuroectoderm- from mesoderm-derived cells. Furthermore, we found genes, which were similarly expressed between fNSCs and neuroectoderm- but not mesoderm-derived NSCs. Notably, these neural signatures were retained after transplantation into the cortex of mice and paralleled with increased survival and integration of neuroectoderm-derived cells in vivo. These results indicated distinct origin- dependent neural cell identities in differentiated human iPSCs both in vitro and in vivo. RNA samples for microarray analysis were prepared using RNeasy columns (Qiagen, Germany) with on-column DNA digestion. 300 ng of total RNA per sample were used as the input in the linear amplification protocol (Ambion), which involved the synthesis of T7-linked double-stranded cDNAs and 12hrs of in vitro transcription incorporating biotin-labeled nucleotides. Purified and labeled cRNA was then hybridized for 18 hrs onto HumanHT-12 v4 expression BeadChips (Illumina, USA) following the manufacturer's instructions. After the recommended washing, the chips were stained with streptavidin-Cy3 (GE Healthcare) and scanned using the iScan reader (Illumina) and the accompanying software. The samples were exclusively hybridized as biological replicates. The RNA samples from in vivo transplanted and FACS sorted cells were amplified using the TargetAmp 2-Round Biotin-aRNA Amplification Kit 3.0 (Epicentre, USA) from 100 pg to 50 microg. 43 samples were analyzed Fib, Human fibroblast F134, 2 replicates CD34+, Human Cord Blood CD34+ Hematopoyetic Stem Cell (HSC), 1 replicate fNSC, Human fetal Neural Stem Cells (NSC), 1 replicate fNSC-1FiPSCa-NSC, Human one factor (POU5F1) fetal Neural Stem Cell (NSC) induced reprogrammed cell (iPSC) clone a, in vitro differentiated to NSC, 2 replicates fNSC-1FiPSCb-NSC, Human one factor (POU5F1) fetal Neural Stem Cell (NSC) induced reprogrammed cell (iPSC) clone b, in vitro differentiated to NSC, 2 replicates fNSC-2FiPSCa-NSC, Human two factors (POU5F1, KLF4) fetal Neural Stems Cell (NSC) induced reprogrammed cell (iPSC) clone a, in vitro differentiated to NSC, 2 replicates CD34-2FiPSCa-NSC, Human two factors (POU5F1, KLF4) cord blood CD34+ Hematopoyetic Stem Cell (HSC) induced reprogrammed cell (iPSC) clone a, in vitro differentiated to NSC, 2 replicates CD34-4FiPSCa-NSC, Human four factors (POU5F1, KLF4, SOX2, CMYC) cord blood CD34+ Hematopoyetic Stem Cell (HSC) induced reprogrammed cell (iPSC) clone a, in vitro differentiated to NSC, 2 replicates CD34-4FiPSCb-NSC, Human four factors (POU5F1, KLF4, SOX2, CMYC) cord blood CD34+ Hematopoyetic Stem Cell (HSC) induced reprogrammed cell (iPSC) clone b, in vitro differentiated to NSC, 2 replicates Fib-4FiPSCa-NSC, Human four factors (POU5F1, KLF4, SOX2, CMYC) fibroblast induced reprogrammed cell (iPSCs) clone a, in vitro differentiated to NSC, 2 replicates Fib-4FiPSCb-NSC, Human four factors (POU5F1, KLF4, SOX2, CMYC) fibroblast induced reprogrammed cell (iPSCs) clone b, in vitro differentiated to NSC, 2 replicates Fib-4FiPSCc-NSC, Human four factors (POU5F1, KLF4, SOX2, CMYC) fibroblast induced reprogrammed cell (iPSCs) clone c, in vitro differentiated to NSC, 1 replicate H1-ESC-NSC, Human H1 embryonic stem cell (ESC), in vitro differentiated to NSC, 2 replicates HUES6-ESC-NSC, Human HUES6 embryonic stem cell (ESC), in vitro differentiated to NSC, 1 replicate fNSC-1FiPSCa, Human one factor (POU5F1) fetal Neural Stem Cell (NSC) induced reprogrammed cell (iPSC) clone a, 1 replicate fNSC-1FiPSCb, Human one factor (POU5F1) fetal Neural Stem Cell (NSC) induced reprogrammed cell (iPSC) clone b, 1 replicate fNSC-2FiPSCa, Human two factors (POU5F1, KLF4) fetal Neural Stems Cell (NSC) induced reprogrammed cell (iPSC) clone a, 1 replicate CD34-2FiPSCa, Human two factors (POU5F1, KLF4) cord blood CD34+ Hematopoyetic Stem Cell (HSC) induced reprogrammed cell (iPSC) clone a, 1 replicate CD34-4FiPSCa, Human four factors (POU5F1, KLF4, SOX2, CMYC) cord blood CD34+ Hematopoyetic Stem Cell (HSC) induced reprogrammed cell (iPSC) clone a, 1 replicate CD34-4FiPSCb, Human four factors (POU5F1, KLF4, SOX2, CMYC) cord blood CD34+ Hematopoyetic Stem Cell (HSC) induced reprogrammed cell (iPSC) clone b, 1 replicate Fib-4FiPSCa, Human four factors (POU5F1, KLF4, SOX2, CMYC) fibroblast induced reprogrammed cell (iPSCs) clone a, 1 replicate Fib-4FiPSCb, Human four factors (POU5F1, KLF4, SOX2, CMYC) fibroblast induced reprogrammed cell (iPSCs) clone b, 1 replicate H1-ESC, Human H1 embryonic stem cell (ESC), 3 replicates HUESC6-ESC, Human HUESC6 embryonic stem cell (ESC) , 2 replicates Fib-4FiPSCa-NSC-In Vivo, Human four factors (POU5F1, KLF4, SOX2, CMYC) fibroblast induced reprogrammed cell (iPSCs) clone a, in vivo differentiated to NSC, 2 replicates fNSC-1FiPSCa-NSC-In Vivo, Human one factor (POU5F1) fetal Neural Stem Cell (NSC) induced reprogrammed cell (iPSC) clone a, in vivo differentiated to NSC, 4 replicates

Project description:Stem cell dysfunction drives many age-related disorders. Identifying mechanisms that initially compromise stem cell behavior represent early targets to enhance stem cell function later in life. Here, we pinpoint multiple factors that disrupt neural stem cell (NSC) behavior in the adult hippocampus. Clonal tracing showed that NSCs exhibit asynchronous depletion by identifying short-term (ST-NSC) and long-term NSCs (LT-NSCs). ST-NSC divide rapidly to generate neurons and deplete in the young brain. Meanwhile, multipotent LT-NSCs are maintained for months, but are pushed out of homeostasis by lengthening quiescence. Single cell transcriptome analysis of deep NSC quiescence revealed several hallmarks of molecular aging in the mature brain and identified tyrosine-protein kinase Abl1 as an NSC pro-aging factor. Treatment with the Abl-inhibitor Imatinib increased NSC proliferation without impairing NSC maintenance in the middle-aged brain. Our study indicates that hippocampal NSCs are particularly vulnerable to cellular aging, yet NSC function can be partially restored.

Project description:Neural stem cells can migrate towards tumors of both neural and non-neural origins, which is crucial for the success in treating disseminated tumors. Although the understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying NSC tumor tropism is limited, it has been noted that several cytokines, growth factors and receptors direct the migration in vitro. A proper understanding of the basic molecular mechanisms of NSC migration towards tumors, especially identification of key cellular regulators of the migration, will have important implications in improving the effectiveness of engineering and employing NSCs as tumor therapy agents. We compared gene expression profiles between migratory and non-migratory hiPSC-NSCs towards cancer cells using cDNA microarray profiling. We collected human iPSCs derived NSCs migrating and not migrating towards mouse 4T1 breast cancer cells in an in vitro migration system for total RNA extraction and hybridization to Affymetrix microarrays
