Project description:Embryonic stem cells have potential utility in regenerative medicine due to their pluripotent characteristics. Sall4, a zinc-finger transcription factor, is expressed very early in embryonic development with Oct4 and Nanog, two well characterized pluripotency regulators. Sall4 plays an important role in governing the fate of stem cells through transcriptional regulation of both Oct4 and Nanog. Using chromatin immunoprecipitation coupled to microarray hybridization (ChIP on Chip), we have mapped global gene targets of Sall4 unveiling possible regulation of broad ES cell functions. Approximately 5,000 genes were identified that were bound by the Sall4 protein and many of these have major functions in developmental and regulatory pathways. Sall4 bound more than six times as many annotated genes within promoter regions as Oct4 and twice as many as Nanog. Immunoprecipitation revealed a heterotrimeric protein complex between Sall4, Oct4, and Nanog, consistent with binding site co-occupancies. Further, Sall4 bound many genes that are regulated in part by the chromatin-based epigenetic events mediated by polycomb-repressive complexes and bivalent domains. This suggests that Sall4 plays a central and diverse role in regulating stem cell pluripotency during early embryonic development that involves integration of transcriptional and epigenetic control processes. Keywords: ChIP-chip We used ChIP-chip to map global promoter bound by Sall4, a zinc finger transcription factor. Growing evidence has suggested that Sall4 plays a vital role in ES cell pluripotency maintenance. Evidence for this includes its recent use as a marker for somatic cell reprogramming, in a genetic signature for ES cells, and evidence that Sall4 enhances reprogramming. These recent findings and two previously described interactions with Oct4 and Nanog strongly support the role of Sall4 in ES cells. This hypothesis was furthered here as we show that Sall4 plays important roles through transcriptional regulation of vital ES cell genes.

Project description:Chavez2009 - a core regulatory network of OCT4 in human embryonic stem cells
A core OCT4-regulated network has been identified as a test case, to analyase stem cell characteristics and cellular differentiation.
This model is described in the article:
In silico identification of a core regulatory network of OCT4 in human embryonic stem cells using an integrated approach.
Chavez L, Bais AS, Vingron M, Lehrach H, Adjaye J, Herwig R
BMC Genomics, 2009, 10:314
Abstract:
BACKGROUND: The transcription factor OCT4 is highly expressed in pluripotent embryonic stem cells which are derived from the inner cell mass of mammalian blastocysts. Pluripotency and self renewal are controlled by a transcription regulatory network governed by the transcription factors OCT4, SOX2 and NANOG. Recent studies on reprogramming somatic cells to induced pluripotent stem cells highlight OCT4 as a key regulator of pluripotency.
RESULTS: We have carried out an integrated analysis of high-throughput data (ChIP-on-chip and RNAi experiments along with promoter sequence analysis of putative target genes) and identified a core OCT4 regulatory network in human embryonic stem cells consisting of 33 target genes. Enrichment analysis with these target genes revealed that this integrative analysis increases the functional information content by factors of 1.3 - 4.7 compared to the individual studies. In order to identify potential regulatory co-factors of OCT4, we performed a de novo motif analysis. In addition to known validated OCT4 motifs we obtained binding sites similar to motifs recognized by further regulators of pluripotency and development; e.g. the heterodimer of the transcription factors C-MYC and MAX, a prerequisite for C-MYC transcriptional activity that leads to cell growth and proliferation.
CONCLUSION: Our analysis shows how heterogeneous functional information can be integrated in order to reconstruct gene regulatory networks. As a test case we identified a core OCT4-regulated network that is important for the analysis of stem cell characteristics and cellular differentiation. Functional information is largely enriched using different experimental results. The de novo motif discovery identified well-known regulators closely connected to the OCT4 network as well as potential new regulators of pluripotency and differentiation. These results provide the basis for further targeted functional studies.

A computational model for understanding stem cell, trophectoderm and endoderm lineage determination.
Chickarmane V, Peterson C
PloS one. 2008, 3(10):e3478
Abstract:
BACKGROUND: Recent studies have associated the transcription factors, Oct4, Sox2 and Nanog as parts of a self-regulating network which is responsible for maintaining embryonic stem cell properties: self renewal and pluripotency. In addition, mutual antagonism between two of these and other master regulators have been shown to regulate lineage determination. In particular, an excess of Cdx2 over Oct4 determines the trophectoderm lineage whereas an excess of Gata-6 over Nanog determines differentiation into the endoderm lineage. Also, under/over-expression studies of the master regulator Oct4 have revealed that some self-renewal/pluripotency as well as differentiation genes are expressed in a biphasic manner with respect to the concentration of Oct4. METHODOLOGY/
PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: We construct a dynamical model of a minimalistic network, extracted from ChIP-on-chip and microarray data as well as literature studies. The model is based upon differential equations and makes two plausible assumptions; activation of Gata-6 by Oct4 and repression of Nanog by an Oct4-Gata-6 heterodimer. With these assumptions, the results of simulations successfully describe the biphasic behavior as well as lineage commitment. The model also predicts that reprogramming the network from a differentiated state, in particular the endoderm state, into a stem cell state, is best achieved by over-expressing Nanog, rather than by suppression of differentiation genes such as Gata-6.
CONCLUSIONS: The computational model provides a mechanistic understanding of how different lineages arise from the dynamics of the underlying regulatory network. It provides a framework to explore strategies of reprogramming a cell from a differentiated state to a stem cell state through directed perturbations. Such an approach is highly relevant to regenerative medicine since it allows for a rapid search over the host of possibilities for reprogramming to a stem cell state.

Transcriptional dynamics of the embryonic stem cell switch.
Chickarmane V, Troein C, Nuber UA, Sauro HM, Peterson C

Abstract:
Recent ChIP experiments of human and mouse embryonic stem cells have elucidated the architecture of the transcriptional regulatory circuitry responsible for cell determination, which involves the transcription factors OCT4, SOX2, and NANOG. In addition to regulating each other through feedback loops, these genes also regulate downstream target genes involved in the maintenance and differentiation of embryonic stem cells. A search for the OCT4-SOX2-NANOG network motif in other species reveals that it is unique to mammals. With a kinetic modeling approach, we ascribe function to the observed OCT4-SOX2-NANOG network by making plausible assumptions about the interactions between the transcription factors at the gene promoter binding sites and RNA polymerase (RNAP), at each of the three genes as well as at the target genes. We identify a bistable switch in the network, which arises due to several positive feedback loops, and is switched on/off by input environmental signals. The switch stabilizes the expression levels of the three genes, and through their regulatory roles on the downstream target genes, leads to a binary decision: when OCT4, SOX2, and NANOG are expressed and the switch is on, the self-renewal genes are on and the differentiation genes are off. The opposite holds when the switch is off. The model is extremely robust to parameter changes. In addition to providing a self-consistent picture of the transcriptional circuit, the model generates several predictions. Increasing the binding strength of NANOG to OCT4 and SOX2, or increasing its basal transcriptional rate, leads to an irreversible bistable switch: the switch remains on even when the activating signal is removed. Hence, the stem cell can be manipulated to be self-renewing without the requirement of input signals. We also suggest tests that could discriminate between a variety of feedforward regulation architectures of the target genes by OCT4, SOX2, and NANOG.

Project description:The pluripotency control regions (PluCRs) are defined as genomic regions that are bound by Oct4, Sox2, and Nanog in vivo. We utilized a high-throughput binding assay to record more than 270,000 different DNA/protein binding measurements along incrementally tiled windows of DNA within these PluCRs. This high-resolution binding map is then used to systematically define the context of Oct factor binding and reveals patterns of cooperativity and competition in the pluripotency network. The most prominent pattern is a pervasive binding competition between Oct4 and the forkhead transcription factors. Like many transcription factors, Oct4 is co-expressed with a paralog, Oct1, that shares an apparently identical binding specificity. By analyzing thousands of binding measurements we discover context effects that discriminate Oct1 from Oct4 binding. Proximal Nanog binding promotes Oct4 binding, whereas nearby Sox2 binding favors Oct1. We demonstrate by cross-species comparison and by chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) that the contextual sequence determinants learned in vitro are sufficient to predict Oct1 binding in vivo. An oligonucleotide pool that tiles through 316 PluCR regions ( a region of simulataneous in vivo Oct4, Sox2 and Nanog ChIP enrichement in human ES cells - Boyer et al. 2005) was incubated in embryonic stem cell extract. Complexes were allowed to form and oligonucletide:protein complexes were immunoprecipitated with one of four antidodies (against Oct4 , Sox2, Nanog, Oct1). The enrichment of oligonucleotides in co-precipitate was analyzed by two color (Cy3/Cy5) microarray strategy using an Agilent custom oligonucleotide array.

Project description:Stem cells self-renew or differentiate under the governance of a stem cell-specific transcriptional program with each transcription factor orchestrating the activities of a particular set of genes. Here we demonstrate that a single transcription factor is able to regulate distinct core circuitries in two different blastocyst-derived stem cell lines, embryonic stem (ES) and extra-embryonic endoderm (XEN) cells. The transcription factor, Sall4, is required for early embryonic development and for ES cell pluripotency. Sall4 is also expressed in XEN cells and depletion of Sall4 disrupts self-renewal and induces differentiation. Genome-wide analysis reveals Sall4 is regulating different gene sets in ES and XEN cells, and depletion of Sall4 targets in the respective cell types induces differentiation. With Oct4, Sox2 and Nanog, Sall4 forms a crucial interconnected auto-regulatory network in ES cells. In XEN cells, Sall4 regulates key XEN lineageassociated genes, Gata4, Gata6, Sox7 and Sox17. Our findings demonstrate how Sall4 functions as an essential stemness factor for two different stem cell lines.
