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

ABSTRACT: 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.

Human endogenous retrovirus subfamily H (HERVH) is a class of transposable elements expressed preferentially in human embryonic stem cells (hESCs). Here, we report that the long terminal repeats of HERVH function as enhancers and that HERVH is a nuclear long noncoding RNA required to maintain hESC identity. Furthermore, HERVH is associated with OCT4, coactivators and Mediator subunits. Together, these results uncover a new role of species-specific transposable elements in hESCs. ...[more]

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.

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

Project description: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.

OCT4 Knockdown in human embryonic stem cells

Project description:We studied the genomic locations of three key regulatory proteins (OCT4, NANOG and CTCF) in human and mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells [see Series GSE20650]. To identify the conserved and unique human OCT4 targets, we performed an OCT4 RNAi knock-down experiment. We find that species-specific transposable elements have profoundly altered the transcriptional circuitry of pluripotent stem cells. To identify the mRNA targets of OCT4: 12 samples were collected in total. Each sample is done in triplicate and samples were collected at 2 different time point, 2 days and 3 days after transfection. Luciferase knockdown serves as negative control and OCT4 knockdown is the experimental sample.

The loop position of shRNAs and pre-miRNAs is critical for the accuracy of Dicer processing in vivo

Project description:Short-hairpin RNA (shRNA)-induced RNAi is used for biological discovery and therapeutics. Dicer, whose normal role is to liberate endogenous miRNAs from their precursors, processes shRNAs into different biologically active siRNAs, affecting their efficacy and potential for off-targeting. We found that in cells, Dicer induced imprecise cleavage events around the expected sites based on the previously described 5'/3'-counting rules. These promiscuous non-canonical cleavages were abrogated when the cleavage site was positioned 2 nt from a bulge or loop. Interestingly, we observed that the ~1/3 of mammalian endogenous pre-miRNAs that contained such structures were more precisely processed by Dicer. Implementing a new "loop-counting rule", we designed potent anti-HCV shRNAs with substantially reduced off-target effects. Our results suggest that Dicer recognizes the loop/bulge structure in addition to the ends of shRNAs/pre-miRNAs for accurate processing. This has important implications for both miRNA processing and future design of shRNAs for RNAi-based genetic screens and therapies. Various shRNAs were expressed in Cell and processed by the RNase III enzyme Dicer. The profiles of the siRNA products were generated by deep sequencing with or without the Ago2-IP.

Genome Wide Profiling of p53 Response to Differentiation or DNA Damage of Human Embryonic Stem Cells

Project description:Tumor suppressor p53 promotes differentiation of human embryonic stem cells (hESCs), but an in-depth understanding of mechanism is lacking. Here, we define p53 functions in hESCs by genome wide profiling of p53 chromatin interactions and intersection with gene expression during early differentiation and in response to DNA damage. During differentiation, p53 targets and regulates a unique collection of genes, many of which encode transcription factors and developmental regulators with chromatin structure poised by OCT4 and NANOG and marked by repressive H3K27me3 in pluripotent hESCs. In contrast, genes associated with cell migration and motility are bound by p53 specifically after DNA damage. Surveillance functions of p53 in regulation of cell death and cell cycle genes are conserved during both DNA damage and differentiation. Our findings expand the registry of p53 -regulated genes in hESCs and define specific functions of p53 in opposing pluripotency, which are highly distinct from stress-induced p53 response in stem cells. Identification of p53 binding sites in hESC under three conditions: Pluripotent, DNA damaged, Differentiating

Transcriptional effects of CSB and the CSB-PGBD3 fusion protein in CSB-null UVSS1KO cells

Project description:Cockayne syndrome is a segmental progeria most often caused by mutations in the CSB gene encoding a SWI/SNF-like ATPase required for transcription-coupled DNA repair (TCR). Over 43 Mya before marmosets diverged from humans, a piggyBac3 (PGBD3) transposable element integrated into intron 5 of the CSB gene. As a result, primate CSB genes now generate both CSB protein and a conserved CSB-PGBD3 fusion protein in which the first 5 exons of CSB are alternatively spliced to the PGBD3 transposase. We show by microarray analysis that expression of the fusion protein alone in CSB-null UV-sensitive syndrome cells (UVSS1KO) cells induces an interferon-like response that resembles both the innate antiviral response and the prolonged interferon response normally maintained by unphosphorylated STAT1 (U-STAT1); moreover, as might be expected based on conservation of the fusion protein, this potentially cytotoxic interferon-like response is largely reversed by coexpression of functional CSB protein. Interestingly, expression of CSB and the CSB-PGBD3 fusion protein together, but neither alone, upregulates the insulin growth factor binding protein IGFBP5 and downregulates IGFBP7, suggesting that the fusion protein may also confer a metabolic advantage, perhaps in the presence of DNA damage. Finally, we show that the fusion protein binds in vitro to members of a dispersed family of 900 internally deleted piggyBac elements known as MER85s, providing a potential mechanism by which the fusion protein could exert widespread effects on gene expression. Our data suggest that the CSB-PGBD3 fusion protein is important in both health and disease, and could play a role in Cockayne syndrome. 12 samples total; 4 gene expression conditions in triplicate; 1 condition is a tag-only negative control
