Distinct transcription kinetics of pluripotent cell states.

ABSTRACT: Mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs) can adopt naïve, ground, and paused pluripotent states that give rise to unique transcriptomes. Here, we use transient transcriptome sequencing (TT-seq) to define both coding and non-coding transcription units (TUs) in these three pluripotent states and combine TT-seq with RNA polymerase II occupancy profiling to unravel the kinetics of RNA metabolism genome-wide. Compared to the naïve state (serum), RNA synthesis and turnover rates are globally reduced in the ground state (2i) and the paused state (mTORi). The global reduction in RNA synthesis goes along with a genome-wide decrease of polymerase elongation velocity, which is related to epigenomic features and alterations in the Pol II termination window. Our data suggest that transcription activity is the main determinant of steady state mRNA levels in the naïve state and that genome-wide changes in transcription kinetics invoke ground and paused pluripotent states.

The application of cell surface markers to demarcate distinct human pluripotent states.

Project description:Recent advances in human pluripotent stem cell (hPSC) research have uncovered different subpopulations within stem cell cultures and have captured a range of pluripotent states that hold distinct molecular and functional properties. At the two ends of the pluripotency spectrum are naïve and primed hPSC, whereby naïve hPSC grown in stringent conditions recapitulate features of the preimplantation human embryo, and the conventionally grown primed hPSC align closer to the early postimplantation embryo. Investigating these cell types will help to define the mechanisms that control early development and should provide new insights into stem cell properties such as cell identity, differentiation and reprogramming. Monitoring cell surface marker expression provides a valuable approach to resolve complex cell populations, to directly compare between cell types, and to isolate viable cells for functional experiments. This review discusses the discovery and applications of cell surface markers to study human pluripotent cell types with a particular focus on the transitions between naïve and primed states. Highlighted areas for future study include the potential functions for the identified cell surface proteins in pluripotency, the production of new high-quality monoclonal antibodies to naïve-specific protein epitopes and the use of cell surface markers to characterise subpopulations within pluripotent states.

Direct comparison of distinct naive pluripotent states in human embryonic stem cells.

Project description:Until recently, human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) were shown to exist in a state of primed pluripotency, while mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs) display a naive or primed pluripotent state. Here we show the rapid conversion of in-house-derived primed hESCs on mouse embryonic feeder layer (MEF) to a naive state within 5-6 days in naive conversion media (NCM-MEF), 6-10 days in naive human stem cell media (NHSM-MEF) and 14-20 days using the reverse-toggle protocol (RT-MEF). We further observe enhanced unbiased lineage-specific differentiation potential of naive hESCs converted in NCM-MEF, however, all naive hESCs fail to differentiate towards functional cell types. RNA-seq analysis reveals a divergent role of PI3K/AKT/mTORC signalling, specifically of the mTORC2 subunit, in the different naive hESCs. Overall, we demonstrate a direct evaluation of several naive culture conditions performed in the same laboratory, thereby contributing to an unbiased, more in-depth understanding of different naive hESCs.

Amino acid intake strategies define pluripotent cell states.

Project description:Mammalian preimplantation development is associated with marked metabolic robustness, and embryos can develop under a wide variety of nutrient conditions, including even the complete absence of soluble amino acids. Here we show that mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs) capture the unique metabolic state of preimplantation embryos and proliferate in the absence of several essential amino acids. Amino acid independence is enabled by constitutive uptake of exogenous protein through macropinocytosis, alongside a robust lysosomal digestive system. Following transition to more committed states, ESCs reduce digestion of extracellular protein and instead become reliant on exogenous amino acids. Accordingly, amino acid withdrawal selects for ESCs that mimic the preimplantation epiblast. More broadly, we find that all lineages of preimplantation blastocysts exhibit constitutive macropinocytic protein uptake and digestion. Taken together, these results highlight exogenous protein uptake and digestion as an intrinsic feature of preimplantation development and provide insight into the catabolic strategies that enable embryos to sustain viability before implantation.

Conversion from mouse embryonic to extra-embryonic endoderm stem cells reveals distinct differentiation capacities of pluripotent stem cell states.

Project description:The inner cell mass of the mouse pre-implantation blastocyst comprises epiblast progenitor and primitive endoderm cells of which cognate embryonic (mESCs) or extra-embryonic (XEN) stem cell lines can be derived. Importantly, each stem cell type retains the defining properties and lineage restriction of their in vivo tissue of origin. Recently, we demonstrated that XEN-like cells arise within mESC cultures. This raises the possibility that mESCs can generate self-renewing XEN cells without the requirement for gene manipulation. We have developed a novel approach to convert mESCs to XEN cells (cXEN) using growth factors. We confirm that the downregulation of the pluripotency transcription factor Nanog and the expression of primitive endoderm-associated genes Gata6, Gata4, Sox17 and Pdgfra are necessary for cXEN cell derivation. This approach highlights an important function for Fgf4 in cXEN cell derivation. Paracrine FGF signalling compensates for the loss of endogenous Fgf4, which is necessary to exit mESC self-renewal, but not for XEN cell maintenance. Our cXEN protocol also reveals that distinct pluripotent stem cells respond uniquely to differentiation promoting signals. cXEN cells can be derived from mESCs cultured with Erk and Gsk3 inhibitors (2i), and LIF, similar to conventional mESCs. However, we find that epiblast stem cells (EpiSCs) derived from the post-implantation embryo are refractory to cXEN cell establishment, consistent with the hypothesis that EpiSCs represent a pluripotent state distinct from mESCs. In all, these findings suggest that the potential of mESCs includes the capacity to give rise to both extra-embryonic and embryonic lineages.

Single-cell 3D genome structure reveals distinct human pluripotent states (ATAC-Seq)

Project description:Pluripotent states of embryonic stem cells (ESCs) with distinct transcription profile affect their differentiation capacity and therapeutic potential. By single cell analysis of high-resolution three-dimensional (3D) genome structure, we show that remodeling genome structure is highly associated with pluripotent states of human ESCs (hESCs). Naive pluripotent state is featured with specialized 3D genome structures and clear chromatin compartmentation distinct from primed state. Naive pluripotent state may be achieved by remodeled active euchromatin compartment and less chromatin interaction in the nuclear center. This unique genome organization is linked to elevated chromatin accessibility on enhancers and thus high expression levels of naive pluripotent genes localized in this region. On the contrary, primed state exhibits intermingled genome organization. Moreover, active euchromatin and primed pluripotent genes are distributed in the nuclear periphery and yet repressive heterochromatin densely concentrated in the nuclear center, reducing chromatin accessibility and transcription of naive genes. Thus, inversion or relocation of heterochromatin to euchromatin compartmentation is related to regulating chromatin accessibility and thus define pluripotent states and cell identity.

SUMO safeguards somatic and pluripotent cell identities by enforcing distinct chromatin states

Project description:Purposes: (1) compare the SUMO chromatin landscape between mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) and embryonic stem cells (ESc) (2) Decipher how hyposumoylation enhances MEF to induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSc) reprogramming (3) Decipher how hyposumoylation enhances ESc to 2C-like cells conversion. Methods : (1) ChIP-seq in MEFs and ESc for SUMO isoforms and histone marks. (2) ChIP-seq for transcription factors and histone marks at day 4 of MEF to iPSc reprogramming comparing wild type (shCtrl) and hyposumoylated cells (shUbc9). ATAC-Seq at day 4 of MEF to iPSc reprogramming comparing wild type (shCtrl) and hyposumoylated cells (shUbc9). RNA-Seq in MEFs, iPSc, at day 4 and day 7 of MEF to iPSc reprogramming comparing wild type (shCtrl) and hyposumoylated cells (shUbc9). (3) RNA-Seq in ESc comparing wild-type (siCtrl) and hyposumoylated cells (siUbc9). Results: (1) SUMO chromatin landscape is highly different between MEFs and ESc and associates to distinct chromatin marks. (2) Hyposumoylation enhances MEFs to iPSc reprogramming by favoring the extinction of the MEF transcriptional program and redistributing pluripotency factors from MEF enhancers toward ES enhancers. (3) Hyposumoylation enhances ES to 2C-like conversion by destabilizing heterochromatin thus resulting in an activation of the 2-cell transcriptional program. Conclusion: SUMO at chromatin is gate-keeper of cell-identity.

Multivariate meta-analysis reveals global transcriptomic signatures underlying distinct human naive-like pluripotent states.

Project description:The ground or naive pluripotent state of human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs), which was initially established in mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs), is an emerging and tentative concept. To verify this vital concept in hPSCs, we performed a multivariate meta-analysis of major hPSC datasets via the combined analytic powers of percentile normalization, principal component analysis (PCA), t-distributed stochastic neighbor embedding (t-SNE), and SC3 consensus clustering. This robust bioinformatics approach has significantly improved the predictive values of our meta-analysis. Accordingly, we revealed various similarities or dissimilarities between some naive-like hPSCs (NLPs) generated from different laboratories. Our analysis confirms some previous studies and provides new evidence concerning the existence of three distinct naive-like pluripotent states. Moreover, our study offers global transcriptomic markers that define diverse pluripotent states under various hPSC growth protocols.

Pluripotent transcription factors possess distinct roles in normal versus transformed human stem cells.

Project description:BackgroundCancer and normal stem cells (SCs) share proliferative properties of self-renewal and expression of key transcription factors (TFs). Despite similar TF identities, the functional role of specific TFs responsible for retaining SC state has yet to be examined in cancer.Methodology/principal findingsHere, we compare the role of Oct4 and Nanog, two-core pluripotent TFs, in transformed (t-hPSCs), and normal human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs). Unlike normal SCs, self-renewal and survival of t-hPSCs were found to be independent of Oct4. In contrast, t-hPSCs exhibit hypersensitivity to reduction in Nanog and demonstrate complete loss of self-renewal coupled with apoptosis. Dual and sequential knockdown of Oct4 and Nanog revealed that sensitivity of t-hPSCs to Nanog was Oct4 dependent.Conclusions/significanceOur study indicates a bifurcation for the role of two-core SC and cancer related TFs in self-renewal and survival processes. We suggest that the divergent roles of these TFs establish a paradigm to develop novel therapeutics towards selective destruction of aggressive tumors harboring cancer stem cells (CSCs) with similar molecular signatures.
