GRHL2-dependent enhancer switching maintains a pluripotent stem cell transcriptional subnetwork after exit from naïve pluripotency [WT & KO]

ABSTRACT: During early development, pluripotent cells of the epiblast show extensive rewiring of enhancers with little associated change in gene expression. The mechanisms underlying and purpose of this rewiring are largely unknown. Here we identified a transcription factor, GRHL2, that is both necessary and sufficient to activate latent enhancers during the transition from naïve embryonic stem cells (ESC) to primed epiblast cells (EpiC). GRHL2 is necessary to maintain expression of its targets in EpiCs. However, these genes are already expressed at equivalent levels in ESCs, suggesting these genes switch enhancer usage during the transition. Identification of alternative enhancers driving these genes in ESCs uncovered an enrichment for the ESC-specific KLF transcription factors. While many KLF targets remain expressed in EpiCs, GRHL2 only regulates a specific subset promoting an epithelial program. These data suggest a model where a large naïve-specific transcriptional network is partitioned into smaller networks to uncouple their regulation in EpiCs, providing more flexibility in gene regulation during lineage specification.

Dissection of two routes to naïve pluripotency using different kinase inhibitors

Project description:Embryonic stem cells (ESCs) can be maintained in the naïve state through inhibition of Mek1/2 and Gsk3 (2i). A relevant effect of 2i is the inhibition of Cdk8/19, which are negative regulators of the Mediator complex, responsible for the activity of enhancers. Inhibition of Cdk8/19 (Cdk8/19i) stimulates enhancers and, similar to 2i, stabilizes ESCs in the naïve state. Here, we use mass spectrometry to describe the molecular events (phosphoproteome, proteome, and metabolome) triggered by 2i and Cdk8/19i on ESCs. Our data reveal widespread commonalities between these two treatments, suggesting overlapping processes. We find that post-transcriptional de-repression by both 2i and Cdk8/19i might support the mitochondrial capacity of naive cells. However, proteome reprogramming in each treatment is achieved by different mechanisms. Cdk8/19i acts directly on the transcriptional machinery, activating key identity genes to promote the naïve program. In contrast, 2i stabilizes the naïve circuitry through, in part, de-phosphorylation of downstream transcriptional effectors.

Cooperative genetic networks drive embryonic stem cell transition from naïve to formative pluripotency

Project description:In the mammalian embryo, epiblast cells must exit the naïve state and acquire formative pluripotency. This cell state transition is recapitulated by mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs), which undergo pluripotency progression in defined conditions in vitro. However, our understanding of the molecular cascades and gene networks involved in the exit from naïve pluripotency remains fragmentary. Here, we employed a combination of genetic screens in haploid ESCs, CRISPR/Cas9 gene disruption, large-scale transcriptomics and computational systems biology to delineate the regulatory circuits governing naïve state exit. Transcriptome profiles for 73 ESC lines deficient for regulators of the exit from naïve pluripotency predominantly manifest delays on the trajectory from naïve to formative epiblast. We find that gene networks operative in ESCs are also active during transition from pre- to post-implantation epiblast in utero. We identified 496 naïve state-associated genes tightly connected to the in vivo epiblast state transition and largely conserved in primate embryos. Integrated analysis of mutant transcriptomes revealed funnelling of multiple gene activities into discrete regulatory modules. Finally, we delineate how intersections with signalling pathways direct this pivotal mammalian cell state transition.

The translational landscape of naïve and primed state pluripotency

Project description:Translational control plays a central role in regulation of gene expression and can lead to significant divergence between mRNA- and protein-abundance. The translational landscape of early mammalian development and its impact on cellular proteome, however, remains largely un-explored. Here we used genome-wide approaches combined with time-course analysis to measure the mRNA-abundance, mRNA-translation rate and protein expression during the transition of naïve into primed embryonic stem cells (ESCs). We found that the ground state ESCs cultured with GSK3- and MEK-inhibitors and LIF (2iL) display higher ribosome density on a selective set of mRNAs. These mRNAs show reduced translation during the exit from ground state pluripotency and transition to serum/LIF (SL) culture or upon commitment to primed epiblast-like stem cells (EpiLSCs). Strikingly, integrative analysis with cellular proteome indicate a strong translational buffering of this set of mRNAs in 2iL-ESCs leading to stable protein expression levels. Our data reveal that the global alteration of cellular proteome is largely accompanied by transcriptional rewiring. Furthermore, we identified a set of genes (including UHRF1 and KRAS) that undergo selective post-translational regulation during the transition of naïve into primed pluripotency and linked the observed changes to upstream GSK- and MEK/MAPK-signaling pathways using single inhibitor treated ESCs. Thus, we provide a comprehensive and detailed overview of the global changes in gene expression during the transition of naïve to primed pluripotency and dissect the relative contributions of RNA-transcription, translation and regulation of protein stability in controlling protein abundance.

A mass spectrometry survey of chromatin-associated proteins in pluripotency and early lineage commitment

Project description:Pluripotent Embryonic Stem Cells (ESCs) can be captured in vitro in different states, ranging from unrestricted ‘naïve’ to more developmentally constrained ‘primed’ pluripotency. Complexes involved in epigenetic regulation and key transcription factors have been shown to be involved in specifying these distinct states. In this study, we use proteomic profiling of the chromatin landscape in naive pluripotent ESCs, Epistem cells (EpiSCs) and early differentiated ESCs to survey the chromatin in naïve and primed pluripotency and during differentiation. We provide a comprehensive overview of epigenetic complexes situated on the chromatin and identify proteins associated with the maintenance and loss of pluripotency. The findings presented here indicate major compositional alterations of epigenetic complexes starting from ESC priming onwards. Our results contribute to the understanding of ESC differentiation and provide a framework for future studies of lineage commitment of ESCs.

Jmjd2c/Kdm4c facilitates the assembly of essential enhancer-protein complexes at the onset of embryonic stem cell differentiation

Project description:Jmjd2/Kdm4 H3K9-demethylases cooperate in promoting mouse embryonic stem cell (ESC) identity. However, little is known about their importance at the exit of ESC pluripotency. Here, we uncover that Jmjd2c facilitates this process by stabilizing the assembly of Mediator-Cohesin complexes at lineage-specific enhancers. Functionally, we show that Jmjd2c is required in ESCs to initiate appropriate gene expression programs upon somatic multi-lineage differentiation. In the absence of Jmjd2c, differentiation is stalled at an early post-implantation epiblast-like stage, while Jmjd2c-knockout ESCs remain capable of forming extra-embryonic endoderm derivatives. Dissection of the underlying molecular basis revealed that Jmjd2c is re-distributed to lineage-specific enhancers during ESC priming for differentiation. Interestingly, Jmjd2c-bound enhancers are co-occupied by the H3K9-methyltransferase G9a/Ehmt2, independently of its H3K9-modifying activity. Loss of Jmjd2c abrogates G9a recruitment and furthermore destabilizes loading of the Mediator and Cohesin components Med1 and Smc1a at newly activated and poised enhancers in ESC-derived epiblast-like cells. These findings unveil Jmjd2c-G9a as novel enhancer-associated factors, and implicate Jmjd2c as a molecular scaffold for the assembly of essential enhancer-protein complexes with impact on timely gene activation.

Global hyperactivation of enhancers stabilizes human and mouse naïve pluripotency

Project description:The transition of pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) from primed to naïve states constitutes a prototypical example of cellular plasticity. The naïve state can be stabilized by defined chemical cocktails that block extracellular signals, notably including the MEK pathway. However, little is known regarding the underlying transcriptional mechanisms. Here, we report that the transcriptional landscape of the naïve state can be mimicked in mouse and human PSCs by stimulating transcriptional enhancers. This is attained by inhibiting the CDK8 and CDK19 kinases, which are negative regulators of Mediator, a critical component of enhancer function. Mechanistically, CDK8/19i triggers a global increase in the recruitment of RNA Pol II at promoters and enhancers, hyperactivating enhancers and their target genes. Lastly, the emergence of naïve pluripotency in the pre-implantation epiblast coincides with a marked reduction in CDK8/19 activity, and CDK8/19i blocks its subsequent developmental progression. These findings suggest that naïve pluripotency during development includes hyperactivation of enhancers and can be captured in vitro, either by blunting extracellular signaling, or by stimulating enhancer-driven transcription. These principles may apply to other cellular transitions.

Foxd3 binding at enhancers controls developmental timing of gene expression by regulation of histone acetylation [ChIP-seq]

Project description:Transcription factor/enhancer interactions determine cell specific gene expression. Here, we followed enhancers during differentiations of embryonic stem (ESCs) to epiblast like cells (EpiLCs). There were highly dynamic changes in histone lysine 27 acetylation at enhancer sites throughout the genome. These sites were enriched for a Foxd3 binding motif, a forkhead transcription factor essential in early embryonic development. Surprisingly, Foxd3 occupied largely mutually exclusive sites in the ESCs versus EpiLCs. Foxd3 bound to nucleosome occupied regions, simultaneously evicting the histones while inhibiting full gene expression through the recruitment of histone deacetylases. Knockout of Foxd3 resulted in hyperacetylation and transcriptional upregulation of neighboring genes, many of which were further upregulated at later stages of differentiation. These data show that Foxd3 primes enhancer sites during pregastrulation by removing nucleosomes, yet suppresses neighboring histone hyperacetylation. Such a mechanism may be common to many transcription factors that prepare enhancers for later gene activation during development. ChIP-seq of H3K4me1, H3K27ac, H3K27me3, p300, H3K4me3, RNA Pol2 and Oct4 in four pluripotent states: embryonic stem cells (ESCs) day 1 ESC differentiation, Epi-like stem cells (EpiLCs), and epiblast stem cells (EpiSCs); ChIP-seq of 3XFlag tagged Foxd3 in ESCs and EpiLCs; ChIP-seq of H3K4me1, H3K27ac, H3K27me3, p300 and H3K4me3 in Foxd3 conditional knockout cells (tamoxifen-inducible) -/+ 36h Tamoxifen treatemnt.
