Direct Conversion of Mouse Fibroblasts into Neural Stem Cells by Chemical Cocktail Requires Stepwise Activation of Growth Factors and Nup210

ABSTRACT: Neural stem cells (NSCs) are valuable for both basic research and clinical application. We previously reported a chemical cocktail that could reprogram somatic cells into neural progenitor cells. However, the process of chemical induction is complex and the underlying mechanism remains largely elusive. Here, we identified a new culture condition that greatly promotes the efficiency of NSC generation directly from mouse fibroblasts based on our reported chemical cocktail. Transcriptome and epigenome analyses during the reprogramming process demonstrated that growth factors including IL6, FGF5 and LIF were dynamically activated and contributed to the chemical cocktail induced cell fate changes. Interestingly, fibroblast-to-NSC conversion requires the synergistic action of these growth factors. Moreover, the reprogramming capacity of both chemical cocktail and growth factors require nucleoporin Nup210 to activate endogenous neural transcription factors SoxB1 family to initiate NSC fate. Our study not only provides a novel protocol to generate NSC directly from mouse fibroblasts, but also reveals an important role of growth factors in chemical-induced cellular reprogramming.

Targeting nuclear pore protein, NUP210, reduces metastasis through heterochromatin-mediated silencing of mechanosensitive genes

Project description:Mechanical signals from the extracellular microenvironment have been shown to promote tumor and metastasis progression. It remains unclear how these signals are transmitted to the nucleus to regulate gene expression necessary for metastatic progression. In a genome-wide screen for metastasis-associated polymorphism in the non-coding regulatory region of the genome, we found NUP210, a nuclear pore complex protein as a metastasis susceptibility gene and a cellular mechanosensor. Depletion of NUP210 in metastatic cancer cells significantly reduces lung metastasis in mouse orthotopic transplantation models. Mechanistically, NUP210 interacts with histone H3.1/3.2 (preferentially enriched at the poised/bivalent gene promoters) at the nuclear periphery. To investigate how NUP210 regulates metastasis, we performed combined ChIP-seq and RNA-seq analysis to identify the NUP210-dependent downstream signaling pathways necessary for metastatic progression. Interestingly, RNA-seq analysis revealed that the loss of NUP210 in cancer cells significantly decreased the expression of mechanosensitive, cell adhesion/migration-related pro-metastatic genes. ChIP-seq analysis of H3K4me3 (transcriptional activation mark) and H3K27me3 (transcriptionally repressive, heterochromatin mark) in NUP210 WT/KO cells revealed that NUP210 loss resulted in increased heterochromatinization of mechanosensitive, cell migration-related genes associated at the nuclear periphery. Our results provide a new insight into the role of nuclear pore protein in regulating cellular mechanosensation and metastasis.

Pluripotent Stem Cells Induced from Mouse Neural Stem Cells and Small Intestinal Epithelial Cells by Small Molecule Compounds

Project description:Pluripotent stem cells can be generated by pure small molecule compounds. However, only fibroblasts, a heterogeneous cell population, were reported for use in chemical reprogramming, and the efficiency is relatively low, raising the possibility that chemically induced pluripotent stem cells (CiPSCs) are derived from a specific cell subpopulation residing in fibroblast culture. Thus, it is of interest to know whether chemical reprogramming can be induced in other cell types, even using the same chemical cocktail. Here, using lineage tracing, we verify the generation of CiPSCs from fibroblasts. We further demonstrate that neural stem cells (NSCs) and small intestinal epithelial cells (IECs), cell types from the ectoderm and endoderm, respectively, can be chemically reprogrammed into pluripotent stem cells. CiPSCs derived from NSCs and IECs resemble mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs) in terms of proliferation rate, global gene expression profiling, epigenetic status, self-renewal and differentiation capacity, and germline transmission competency. Interestingly, in the chemical reprogramming process from different cell types, a pluripotency gene Sall4 was commonly expressed in the initial stage, and the same core small molecules were required, suggesting conservatism underlying chemical reprogramming from different cell types. Moreover, the use of these small molecules should be fine-tuned to meet the requirement of reprogramming from different cell types. Together, these findings demonstrate that our reported chemical reprogramming approach can be reproduced in different cell types and suggest that chemical reprogramming is a promising strategy with the potential to be extended to more initial cell types. We analyzed the gene expression profiles of NSC-derived CiPSCs and IEC-derived CiPSCs ,using RNA-Sequencing. NSCs, IECs, and embryonic stem cells (R1) are controls.

Direct reprogramming of human astrocytes into neural stem cells and neurons (MeDIP)

Project description:Ectopic expression of the reprogramming factors OCT4, SOX2, or NANOG into human astrocytes in specific cytokine/culture conditions activated the neural stem gene program and induced generation of cells expressing neural stem/precursor markers (ASTRO-NSC). To evaluate the epigenetic changes associated with this reprogramming, we analyzed the DNA methylation patterns of Astro-NSC relative to untransfected astrocytes. We compared three human AstroNANOG-NSC clones to the astrocytes from which they were derived using NimbleGen 3x720K CpG Island Plus RefSeq Promoter Arrays

Exosome-mediated direct conversion of human fibroblasts into neural progenitor-like cells [WTS]

Project description:Exosome, a kind of extracellular vesicles, has been introduced as a vehicle for horizontal transferring of genetic material. We induced autologous exosome containing a cocktail of reprogramming factors (‘reprosome’) to convert fibroblasts into neural progenitor cells (NPC). The fibroblasts were sonicated and subsequently cultured in NSC media for 1 day to induce release of reprosomes composed of reprogramming factors associated to chromatin remodeling and neural lineage-specific factors. After treated with reprosomes, fibroblasts were converted into NPCs (rNPC) with great efficiency via activation of chromatin remodeling, as fast as it required only five days for formation of 1,500 spheroids showing NPC-like phenotype. The rNPCs maintained self-renewal and proliferative properties for several weeks and successfully differentiated into neuron, astrocyte, and oligodendrocyte, in vitro and in vivo. Reprosome-mediated cellular reprogramming is simple, safe, and efficient, thus providing a new paradigm for clinical application that requires autologous stem cells.
