RNA-Seq after knockdown of SON in human embryonic stem cells

ABSTRACT: Human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) harbor the ability to undergo lineage-specific differentiation into clinically relevant cell types. Transcription factors and epigenetic modifiers are known to play important roles in the maintenance of pluripotency of hESCs. However, little is known about regulation of pluripotency through splicing. In this study, we identify the spliceosome-associated factor SON as a novel factor essential for the maintenance of hESCs. Depletion of SON in hESCs results in the loss of pluripotency and cell death. Using genome-wide RNA profiling, we identified transcripts that are regulated by SON. Importantly, we confirmed that SON regulates the proper splicing of transcripts encoding for pluripotency regulators such as PRDM14, OCT4, E4F1 and MED24. Furthermore, we show that SON is bound to these transcripts in vivo. In summary, we connect a splicing-regulatory network for accurate transcription production to the maintenance of pluripotency and self-renewal of hESCs.

Determination of genes affected by HERVH depletion

Project description:The unique cellular state of embryonic stem cells is maintained by pluripotency-associated transcription factors such as OCT4. The transcriptional regulatory circuitries between human and mouse pluripotent stem cells exhibit notable differences. Transposable elements have altered the pluripotency network by contributing new cis-regulatory elements to mammalian genomes. In our study, we found that the expression of HERVH is enriched in human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) and depletion of HERVH in hESCs induced differentiation. To confirm the differentiation phenotype and identify potential downstream target genes of HERVH, we conducted the microarray analysis on hESCs treated with control shRNA against Luciferase and shRNA against HERVH. Total RNA was extracted from cells treated with control shRNA or HERVH shRNA for 5 days. 3 replicates each.

Son Maintains Accurate Splicing of Pre-mRNAs Encoding Chromatin Modifiers

Project description:Exon and expression analysis of HeLa cells after knockdown of SON Serine-arginine-rich (SR) proteins play a key role in alternative pre-mRNA splicing in eukaryotes. Our laboratory recently showed that a large SR protein called Son has unique repeat motifs that are essential for maintaining the subnuclear organization of pre-mRNA processing factors in nuclear speckles. Motif analysis of Son highlights putative RNA interaction domains that suggest a direct role for Son in pre-mRNA splicing. A genome-wide screen was performed to identify putative human transcription and splicing targets of Son. HeLa cells were transfected with siRNA against SON or a control siRNA (siLuciferase) for 48 hours. Five biological replicates were used for each condition.

RNA-Seq after knockdown of the endogeneous retrovirus HERVH in human embryonic stem cells

Project description:Human endogenous retrovirus subfamily H (HERVH) is a class of transposable elements whose members are expressed preferentially in human pluripotent stem cells. Here, we report that the long-terminal repeat regions of HERVH function as enhancers which are regulated by OCT4. Strikingly, we found that HERVH is a nuclear-localized long non-coding RNA that is required to maintain the undifferentiated state of human embryonic stem cells. Furthermore, we showed that HERVH is associated with OCT4 and co-activators such as P300, CBP and mediator subunits. Together, these results uncover a new and unexpected role of species-specific transposable elements in specifying the pluripotency of human cells.

An Alternative Splicing Switch Regulates Embryonic Stem Cell Pluripotency and Reprogramming [RNA-Seq]

Project description:Alternative splicing (AS) is a key process underlying the expansion of proteomic diversity and the regulation of gene expression. However, the contribution of AS to the control of embryonic stem cell (ESC) pluripotency is not well understood. Here, we identify an evolutionarily conserved ESC-specific AS event that changes the DNA binding preference of the forkhead family transcription factor FOXP1. We show that the ESC-specific isoform of FOXP1 stimulates the expression of transcription factor genes required for pluripotency including OCT4, NANOG, NR5A2 and GDF3, while concomitantly repressing genes required for ESC differentiation. Remarkably, this isoform also promotes the maintenance of ESC pluripotency and the efficient reprogramming of somatic cells to induced pluripotent stem cells. These results thus reveal that an AS switch plays a pivotal role in the regulation of pluripotency and functions by controlling critical ESC-specific transcriptional programs. Exons 18 and 18b form a mutually exclusive splicing event. The FOXP1 (non-ES) isoform contains only exon 18 and not 18b, while the FOXP1-ES isoform contains only exon 18b and not 18. To investigate whether FOXP1 and FOXP1-ES control different sets of genes, we performed knockdowns using custom siRNA pools targeting FOXP1 exons 18 or 18b in undifferentiated H9 cells, followed by RNA-Seq profiling.

SSH-PCR dehydrated supraoptic nucleus

Project description:The magnocellullar neurons (MCNs) of the supraoptic nucleus (SON) of the hypothalamus are the principle source of the neuropeptide hormone vasopressin (VP), which has a crucial role in osmoregulation. Physiological activation of the SON by dehydration results is a massive release of VP from stores in posterior pituitary axon terminals into the general circulation. By binding to V2-type receptors located in the kidney, VP decrease the amount of water lost in urine. Osmotic activation of the SON is accompanied by a dramatic morphological and functional remodelling. We have sought to understand the mechanistic basis of this plasticity in terms of the differential expression of genes. To identify such genes, we adopted a completely unbiased and global approach based on Suppressive Subtractive Hybridisation-Polymerase Chain Reaction (SSH-PCR) Using this method, we generated a library of clones putatively differentially expressed in control vs dehydrated SON. In order to rapidly screen this library, 1152 of these clones were subjected to microarray analysis, resulting in the identification of 459 differentially expressed clones, 56 of which were sequenced. Many of these clones are expressed sequences that are new to science. Four of these were shown by in situ hybridisation (ISH) to be significantly up- or down-regulated in the SON following dehydration. These genes may represent novel effectors or mediators of SON physiological remodelling. 4 chips were hybridised with control SON and compared to 4 chips hybridised with dehydrated SON

Peptidomics analysis of dromedary camel supraoptic nucleus by tandem mass spectrometry

Project description:Peptides were qualitatively characterized in supraoptic nuclei (SON)of dromedary camels by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry/mass spectrometry. Samples collected in winter and summer were analyzed separately. Qualitative seasonal differences were noted. The presence of the PMCH hormone by detection of a single peptide, Neuropeptide-glutamic acid-isoleucine (EIGDEENSAKFPI-amide), only in winter SON. SCG1- and SCG2- derived peptides were detected in both seasons, but more peptides identified in winter than summer for either of the proteins. Peptides from SCG3 were detected only in winter SON samples. We found evidence of alternative splicing of the tachykinin precursor 1 in dromedary between seasons. In summer, we detected neurokinin A (isoforms 2,4, and 6) as well as peptide DADSSVEKQVALLKALYGLGQISHKMAYE confirming prohormone variant without neurokinin A (dromedary isoforms 3 and 7), while in winter SON we detected peptides supporting prohormone variants with neurokinin A (isoforms 2, 4, 6). Substance P was detected only in winter samples. The MS data supported some of our transcriptomics results.

Mass spectrometry based-proteomic analysis comparing the abundance of RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) between TE03 (I3) human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) and human foreskin fibroblasts (HFFs)

Project description:Here, we used high-resolution mass spectrometry to identify differentially expressed RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) between TE03 (I3) human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) and human foreskin fibroblasts (HFFs). 2102Ep embryonal carcinoma (EC) cells were used as a reference for pluripotent cells. This data accompanies the manuscript: "Uncovering the RNA-binding protein landscape in the pluripotency network of human embryonic stem cells". Abstract: "Embryonic stem cell (ESC) self-renewal and cell-fate decisions are driven by a broad array of molecular signals. While transcriptional regulators have been extensively studied in human ESCs (hESCs), the extent to which RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) contribute to human pluripotency remains unclear. Here, we carry out a proteome-wide screen and identify 810 proteins that directly bind RNA in hESCs. We reveal that RBPs are preferentially expressed in hESCs and dynamically regulated during exit from pluripotency and early lineage specification. Moreover, we show that nearly 200 RBPs are affected by knockdown of OCT4, a master regulator of pluripotency, several dozen of which are directly bound by this factor. Intriguingly, over 20 percent of the proteins detected in our study are putative DNA- and RNA-binding proteins (DRBPs), among them key transcription factors (TFs). Using fluorescently labeled RNA and seCLIP (single-end enhanced crosslinking and immunoprecipitation) experiments, we discover that the pluripotency-associated STAT3 and OCT4 TFs interact with RNA in hESCs and confirm the direct binding of STAT3 to the conserved NORAD long-noncoding RNA. Taken together, our findings indicate that RBPs have a more widespread role in human pluripotency than previously appreciated, reinforcing the importance of post-transcriptional regulation in stem cell biology".
