Project description:To identify factors involved in glioma-initiating cells (GICs), we compared gene expression between GIC-like cells and non-GICs. Neural stem cells (NSCs) were transfected with pCMS-EGFP-HRasL61 and pBabe-neo by electroporation and cultured in 0.5 mg/ml neomycin. The GFP-positive stable NSCs (NSCL61s) were purified by flow cytometry. Total RNA was prepared using RNeasy Mini Kit (QIAGEN).

Project description:Redox-mediated posttranslational modifications represent a molecular switch that controls major mechanisms of cell function. Nitric oxide (NO) can mediate redox reactions via S-nitrosylation, representing transfer of an NO group to a critical protein thiol. NO is known to modulate neurogenesis and neuronal survival in various brain regions in disparate neurodegenerative conditions. However, a unifying molecular mechanism linking these phenomena remains unknown. Here we report that S-nitrosylation of myocyte enhancer factor 2 (MEF2) transcription factors acts as a redox switch to inhibit both neurogenesis and neuronal survival. Structure-based analysis reveals that MEF2 dimerization creates a pocket, facilitating S-nitrosylation at an evolutionally conserved cysteine residue in the DNA binding domain. S-Nitrosylation disrupts MEF2-DNA binding and transcriptional activity, leading to impaired neurogenesis and survival in vitro and in vivo. Our data define a novel molecular switch whereby redox-mediated posttranslational modification controls both neurogenesis and neurodegeneration via a single transcriptional signaling cascade.

Project description:CHD8, encoding Chromodomain helicase DNA binding protein 8, is a top autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) risk gene. To better understanding the molecular links between CHD8 functions and ASD, we have applied the CRISPR/Cas9 technology to knockout one copy of CHD8 in induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) to mimic the loss of function status that would exist in the developing human embryo prior to neuronal differentiation. Transcriptome profiling (RNA-seq) in neural progenitors and early differentiating neurons revealed that CHD8 hemizygosity (CHD8+/-) affected the expression of several thousands of genes, enriched for functions of neural development, β-catenin/Wnt signaling, extracellular matrix, and skeletal system development. Moreover, CHD8 regulates multiple genes implicated in ASD, schizophrenia and genes associated with brain volume. iPSCs derived from a healthy subject were transduced with CRISPR/Cas9 vectors with single guide RNA sequences to target the N-terminal of CHD8 protein to generate truncated mutation seach of the two target sequences. Two clones, one with a 2-bp (KO1) and the other with a 10-bp (KO2) heterozygous deletion were found.The CHD8+/- iPSC lines were used to generate NPCs and early differentiating neurons for RNA-seq analysis, together with samples prepared from the parental clones, for a total of 8 samples (two biological replicates of wild-type (WT) and CHD8+/- at two neurodevelopmental stages).

Project description:During the reprogramming of mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) to induced pluripotent stem cells, the activation of pluripotency genes such as Nanog occurs after the mesenchymal to epithelial transition (MET). Here we report that both adult stem cells (neural stem cells- NSCs) and differentiated cells (astrocytes) of the neural lineage can activate Nanog in the absence of cadherin expression during reprogramming. Gene expression analysis revealed that only the Nanog+Ecadherin+ populations expressed stabilization markers and had upregulated several cell cycle genes; and were transgene independent. Inhibition of Dot1L activity, which has previously been shown to increase MET, enhanced both the numbers of Nanog+ and Nanog+E-cadherin+ colonies, suggesting a MET independent pathway for activation of Nanog in NSCs. Expressing Sox2 in MEFs prior to reprogramming does not alter the ratio of Nanog colonies that express E-cadherin obtained. Taken together these results provide a novel pathway for reprogramming taken by cells of the neural lineage. Neural Stem Cells (NSCs) were induced to reprogram by the induction of Oct4, Sox2, c-Myc and Klf4. Reprogramming colonies that expressed either Nanog alone (N+E-) or Nanog and E-cadherin (N+E+) were sorted by flow cytometry and used as input for RNA-sequencing. There are 3 replicates each for the N+E- and N+E+ samples.

Project description:Pluripotency can be induced in murine and human fibroblast by transduction of four transcription factors (Oct4, Sox2, Klf4 and c-Myc). Previously we reported that two factors (Oct4 and Klf4) are sufficient for reprogramming adult mouse neural stem cells (NSCs) to a pluripotent state. However, although NSCs endogenously express the factors Sox2, c-Myc, and Klf4, our previous report does not elucidate why exogenous expression of either Klf4 or c-Myc is still required for reprogramming. Here we report that exogenous expression of Oct4 is sufficient to generate one-factor induced pluripotent stem (1F iPS) cells without any oncogenic factors, such as c-Myc and Klf4, from mouse adult NSCs, which endogenously express Sox2, c-Myc, and Klf4, and also intermediate reprogramming markers alkaline phosphatase (AP), stage-specific embryonic antigen-1 (SSEA-1). These results extend our previous report proposing that somatic cells can be reprogrammed to a pluripotent state with a reducing number of reprogramming factors when the complementing factors are endogenously expressed in the somatic cells.

Project description:The reduction of T-cell intracellular antigen (TIA) proteins in transformed cells leads to the acquisition of aberrant cellular phenotypes promoting uncontrolled cell proliferation and tumor growth. Here we show that global and specific translational rates are regulatory gene events that contribute markedly to the acquisition of above cellular phenotypes. For example, we observe a significant increase of ribosomal population and translational machinery components in TIA-reduced HeLa cells. Polysomal microarray analysis shows specific changes at both the transcript and translational level following TIA reduction, identifying translationally regulated mRNAs that are not transcriptionally regulated which seem to be prevalent for the adaptation to the new environmental conditions. Validation of microarray data using RT-QPCR and immunological analysis for representative genes were carried out. Up-regulated in this class of mRNA are those involved in cell-cycle progression and DNA replication/repair, including several mRNAs with specific sequences to bind TIA proteins. Our data support a hypothesis that a concerted activation of both global and selective translational rates is relevant for the transition from quiescent to proliferative status in TIA-depleted HeLa cells. Two independent replicates were performed for each experimental condition and hybridized to SurePrint G3 Human GE 8x60K Agilent microarrays.
