Jun-mediated changes in cell adhesion contribute to embryonic stem cell exit from ground state pluripotency

ABSTRACT: Embryonic stem cells (ESC) are able to give rise to any somatic cell type. A lot is known about how ESC pluripotency is maintained, but comparatively less is known about how differentiation is promoted. Cell fate decisions are regulated by interactions between signalling and transcriptional networks. Recent studies have shown that the overexpression or downregulation of the transcription factor Jun can affect the ESC fate. Here we have focussed on the role of the Jun in the exit of mouse ESCs from ground state pluripotency and the onset of early differentiation. Transcriptomic analysis of differentiating ESCs reveals that Jun is required to upregulate a programme of genes associated with cell adhesion as ESCs exit the pluripotent ground state.

Gene expression profiles of mouse ESC cardiomyocyte-specific differentiation

Project description:The differentiation to cardiomyocytes is a prerequisite and an important part of heart development. A good understanding of the complicated cardiomyocyte differentiation process benefits cardiogenesis study. Embryonic stem cells (ESCs), cell lines with infinite ability to proliferate and to be differentiated into all cell types of the adult body, are important research tools for investigation of differentiation and meanwhile good models for developmental research. In the current study, genome-wide gene expression of ESCs is profiled through high throughput platform during cardiomyocyte-specific differentiation and maturation. Gene expression patterns of undifferentiated ESCs and ESC-derived cardiomyocytes provide a global overview of genes involved in cardiomyocyte-specific differentiation, whereas marker gene expression profiles of both ESC-related genes and cardiac-specific genes presented the expression pattern shift during differentiation in a pure ESC-derived cardiomyocyte cell culture system. Transgenic mouse ESC clone with M-NM-1-MHCM-bM-^@M-^SPacM-bM-^@M-^SIRESM-bM-^@M-^SEGFP vector containing the EGFP gene and the PuromycinR (Pac) cassette under control of the cardiac M-NM-1-myosin heavy chain (M-NM-1-MHC) promoter was cultured and induced into differentiation. Puromycin was applied after differentiation start to enable cardiomyocyte-specific differentiation. Cells were harvested at 4 time points after differentiation start (day0, day12, day19 and day26). Two biological replicates were taken for every time point.

NANOG alone induces germ cells in primed epiblast in vitro by activation of enhancers

Project description:Nanog, a core pluripotency factor in the inner cell mass of blastocysts, is also expressed in unipotent primordial germ cells (PGC) in mice1, where its precise role is yet unclear2-4. We investigated this in an in vitro model, where naÃ¯ve pluripotent embryonic stem cells (ESCs) cultured in bFGF/ActivinA develop as epiblast-like cells (EpiLCs), and gain competence for PGC-like fate5. Consequently, bone morphogenetic protein (BMP4), or ectopic expression of key germline transcription factors Prdm1/ Prdm14/ Tfap2c, directly induce PGC-like cells (PGCLCs) in EpiLCs, but not in ESCs6-8. Here we report an unexpected discovery that Nanog alone can induce PGCLCs in EpiLCs, independently of BMP4. We propose that following the dissolution of the naÃ¯ve ESC pluripotency network during establishment of EpiLCs9,10, the epigenome is reset for cell fate determination. Indeed, we found genome-wide changes in NANOG binding pattern between ESCs and EpiLCs, indicating epigenetic resetting of regulatory elements. Accordingly, we show that NANOG can bind and activate enhancers of Prdm1 and Prdm14 in EpiLCs in vitro; BLIMP1 (encoded by Prdm1) then directly induces Tfap2c. Furthermore, while SOX2 and NANOG promote the pluripotent state in ESCs, they show contrasting roles in EpiLCs since Sox2 specifically represses PGCLC induction by Nanog. This study demonstrates a broadly applicable mechanistic principle for how cells acquire competence for cell fate determination, resulting in the context-dependent roles of key transcription factors during development.

Transcriptional Regulation of HL60 Neutrophil Differentiation: Promyelocyte trajectory vs. Neutrophil trajectory

Project description:Using the HL60 multipotent promyelocytic leukemia cell line, we performed experiments that lead to two different cell fate attractors by treatments of varying dosage and duration of the differentiation agent all-trans-retinoic acid (ATRA). The dosage and duration combinations corresponding to the two treatments were chosen by means of of cytometric measurements of CD11b, a well-known early differentiation marker, such that the two populations are poised at the same stage of differentiation. Using the selected treatment combinations, one population proceeds toward the terminally differentiated neutrophil attractor while the other population reverts back toward the undifferentiated promyelocytic attractor. We monitored the gene expression changes in the two populations after their respective treatments over a period of five days and identified a set of genes that diverged in their expression; a subset of which promotes neutrophil differentiation while the other represses cell cycle progression. By employing promoter based transcription factor binding site analysis, we found enrichment of transcription factors functionally linked to tumor progression, cell cycle, and development. Keywords: Time course, dose response Untreated HL60 cells are hybrized on the channel 1 with Cy3, ATRA-Treated HL60 cells are hybridized on channel 2 with Cy5. HK60 cells were treated with high dosage/short duration and low dosage/long duration to achieve 55% of CD11b+ cells. These positive cells were then isolated and culture in fresh media and total RNA were isolated for comparison. Cells treated with high dosage/short duration treatment proceed toward the neutrophil attractor while cells treated with the low dosage/long duration treatment revert back toward the promyelocyte attractor.

c-Jun impedes somatic cell reprogramming by activating mesenchymal core regulators and suppressing pluripotent ones

Project description:The somatic cell fate can be converted to tumor or pluripotent ones by ectopic expression of transcription factors in vitro and in vivo. Many oncogenic transcription factors are known to mediate both fates as they share similar proliferative and metabolic properties. Paradoxically, we found c-Jun as the first oncogene that appears to specify a somatic fate, oppose the pluripotent one and impede reprogramming. We performed a series of high through out sequencing to understand the way cJun works. To understand how c-Jun drives mESCs differentiating, we obtained c-Jun TetOn mESCs, and performed RNAseq 36h later with dox inducing or not . To understand why c-Jun blocks reprogramming while c-JunDN and Jdp2 can replace Oct4, we overexpressed these factors with KSM during reprogramming and performed RNAseq 3 Days after virus transfection. Moreover, to extend understand how these factors regulate gene expression, we also overexpressed these factors in MEF and performed RNAseq. Further more, to understand how cJun regulates cell fates and gene expression, we overexpressed c-Jun in mouse ESC and performed ChIP-seq. Also, we performed c-JunDN ChIP-seq during somatic cells reprogramming on day 3, to explore the binding sites of c-JunDN.

Quantitative subcellular proteomics using SILAC reveals enhanced metabolic buffering in ground state pluripotency

Project description:The ground state of pluripotency is defined as a minimal unrestricted state as present in the Inner Cell Mass (ICM). Mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs) grown in a defined serum-free medium with two kinase inhibitors (‘2i’) reflect this state, whereas ESCs grown in the presence of serum (‘serum’) share more similarities with post implantation epiblast cells. Pluripotency results from an intricate interplay between cytoplasmic, nuclear and chromatin-associated proteins. Therefore, quantitative information on the (sub)cellular proteome is essential to gain insight in the molecular mechanisms driving different pluripotent states. Here, we describe a full SILAC workflow and quality controls for proteomic comparison of 2i and serum ESCs. We demonstrate that this workflow is applicable for subcellular proteomics of the cytoplasm, nuclear and chromatin. The obtained quantitative information revealed increased levels of naïve pluripotency factors on the chromatin of 2i ESCs. Further, we demonstrate that these pluripotent states are supported by distinct metabolic programs, which include upregulation of free radical buffering by the glutathione pathway in 2i ESCs. Through induction of intracellular radicals, we show that the altered metabolic environment renders 2i ESCs less sensitive to oxidative stress. Altogether, this work provides novel insights into the proteome landscape underlying ground state pluripotency.

RNA-seq of mouse embryonic stem cells differentiated to EpiSCs and further to presomitic mesoderm (PSM) via Wnt activation (CHIR99021) to study the influence of FGF signaling on PSM induction

Project description:Presomitic mesoderm (PSM) cells are the precursors of the somites, which flank both sides of the neural tube and give rise to the musculo-skeletal system shaping the vertebrate body. WNT and FGF signalling control the formation of both the PSM and the somites, and show a graded distribution with highest levels in the posterior PSM. We have employed reporter for the PSM control gene Tbx6 to investigate the differentiation of mouse ESCs from the naĂŻve state to PSM state. Feeder-free ESCs were seeded and grown on fibronectin (3-5 ng/ml)-coated plates in ESC medium containing LIF, PD0325901 and CHIR99021 (2i medium) to bring them to a naive state of pluripotency. Following this, the cells were brought to an EpiSC state by treating them with Activin A and FGF2. The EpiSC-like cells were then differentiated to PSM using CHIR99021 either alone or along with FGF ligands, FGF2 or FGF8 (Low concentration: 10 ng/ml or High concentration: 250ng/ml).

Effect of ablation of Max gene expression on ES cells cultured under conventional or 2i/Nam condition.

Project description:c-Myc is one of key players that are crucially involved in maintaining the undifferentiated state and the self-renewal of ESCs. To understand the mechanism by which c-Myc helps preserve these prominent characteristics of ESCs, we generated null-ES cells for the Max gene, which encodes the best characterized partner protein for all Myc family proteins. Although Myc/Max complexes have been widely regarded as crucial regulators of the ESC status, our data reveal that ESCs do not absolutely require these complexes in so-called ground state or related conditons and that this requirement is restricted to conventional ES culture conditions without using a MAPK inhibitor. Simply Dox-treated or Nanog (WT or D67G mutant)-rescued Max-null ESCs which were cultured under conventional culture condition and 2i/Nam-treated completely Max-null ES cells from which Dox-regulatable cDNA was removed were used for RNA source. Samples from Dox-untreated Max-null ESCs cultured under conventional culture condition were used as reference samples for Dox-treated cells and Nanog-rescued cells, while a sample from wild-type ESCs cultured under 2i/Nam condition was used as a reference sample for completely Max-null ES cells cultured with 2i/Nam.

Serum-based culture conditions provoke gene expression variability in mouse embryonic stem cells as revealed by single cell analysis

Project description:Variation in gene expression is an important feature of mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs). However, the mechanisms responsible for global gene expression variation in ESCs are not fully understood. We performed single cell mRNA-seq analysis of mouse ESCs and uncovered significant heterogeneity in ESCs cultured in serum. Using novel computational approaches we define highly variable gene clusters; and reveal their distinct epigenetic characteristics. We show that bivalent genes are prone to expression variation. At the same time, we identify an ESC priming pathway that initiates the exit from the naÃ¯ve ESC state. Finally, we provide evidence that a large proportion of intracellular network variability is due to the extracellular culture environment. Serum free culture reduces cellular heterogeneity and transcriptome variation in ESCs. Single cell mRNA-seq analysis of ES cells cultured with serum

Genome-scale screens identify JNK/JUN signaling as a barrier for pluripotency exit and endoderm differentiation

Project description:Human embryonic and induced pluripotent stem cells (hESCs/hiPSCs) hold great promise for cell-based therapies and drug discovery. However, homogeneous differentiation remains a major challenge, highlighting the need for understanding developmental mechanisms. We performed genome-scale CRISPR screens to uncover regulators of definitive endoderm (DE) differentiation, which unexpectedly uncovered five JNK/JUN family genes as key barriers of DE differentiation. The JNK/JUN pathway does not act through directly inhibiting the DE enhancers. Instead JUN co-occupies ESC enhancers with OCT4, NANOG and SMAD2/3, and specifically inhibits the exit from the pluripotent state by impeding the decommissioning of ESC enhancers and inhibiting the reconfiguration of SMAD2/3 chromatin binding from ESC to DE enhancers. Therefore, the JNK/JUN pathway safeguards pluripotency from precocious DE differentiation. Direct pharmacological inhibition of JNK significantly improves the efficiencies of generating DE and DE-derived pancreatic and lung progenitor cells, highlighting the potential of harnessing the knowledge from developmental studies for regenerative medicine.

Functional cooperativity between Myc and PI3K signaling for indefinite self-renewal property of embryonic stem cells

Project description:We explored the relationship between Myc activity and PI3K signaling in ESCs. Our data demonstrate that Myc and PI3K signaling function cooperatively for supporting pluripotent property of ESCs. Moreover, our data demonstrate that exposure of ESCs to 2i condition render both Myc and PI3K dispensable for preserving ESC status. Effect of PI3K inhibitor, LY4294002 on EBRTcH3 ESCs or their derivatives overexpressing c-Myc (wild-type or T58A mutant) was examined. Effect of LY4294002 on EBRTcH3 ESCs under 2i conditions was also examined. Furthermore, effect of Max expression ablation was compared between ESCs and those overexpressing p110 alpha.
