Histone acetyltransferase Kat2a stabilises pluripotency with control of transcriptional heterogeneity

ABSTRACT: Cell fate transitions in mammalian stem cell systems have often been associated with transcriptional heterogeneity, however existing data have failed to establish a functional or mechanistic link between the two phenomena. Experiments in unicellular organisms support the notion that transcriptional heterogeneity can be used to facilitate adaptability to environmental changes and have identified conserved chromatin-associated factors that modulate levels of transcriptional noise. By inhibiting the paradigmatic histone acetyl-transferase, and candidate noise modulator, Kat2a (yeast orthologue Gcn5) in mouse embryonic stem cells, we show destabilisation of pluripotency-associated gene regulatory networks through increased global and locus-specific transcriptional heterogeneity. Functionally, network destabilisation associates with reduced pluripotency and accelerated mesendodermal differentiation, with increased probability of transitions into lineage commitment. Thus, we functionally link transcriptional heterogeneity to cell fate transitions through manipulation of the histone acetylation landscape of mouse embryonic stem cells and establish a general paradigm that could be exploited in other normal and malignant stem cell fate transitions.

Nudt21 controls cell fate by connecting alternative polyadenylation to chromatin signaling

Project description:Cell fate transitions involve rapid changes of gene expression patterns and global chromatin remodeling, yet the underlying regulatory pathways remain incompletely understood. Here, we used transcription-factor induced reprogramming of somatic cells into pluripotent cells to screen for novel regulators of cell fate change. We identified the RNA processing factor Nudt21, a component of the pre-mRNA cleavage and polyadenylation complex, as a potent barrier to reprogramming. Importantly, suppression of Nudt21 not only enhanced the generation of induced pluripotent stem cells but also facilitated the conversion of fibroblasts into trophoblast stem cells and delayed the differentiation of myeloid precursor cells into macrophages, suggesting a broader role for Nudt21 in restricting cell fate change. Polyadenylation site sequencing (PAS-seq) revealed that Nudt21 directs differential polyadenylation of over 1,500 transcripts in cells acquiring pluripotency. While only a fraction of these transcripts changed expression at the protein level, this fraction was strongly enriched for chromatin regulators, including components of the PAF, polycomb, and trithorax complexes. Co-suppression analysis further suggests that these chromatin factors are largely responsible for Nudt21’s effect on reprogramming, providing a mechanistic basis for our observations. Collectively, our data uncover Nudt21 as a novel post-transcriptional regulator of mammalian cell fate and establish a direct, previously unappreciated link between alternative polyadenylation and chromatin signaling.

mTORC1 hyperactivation blocks pluripotent stem cells fate transitions through TFE3-NuRD association [RNA-Seq]

Project description:As an evolutionarily conserved master regulator of metabolism, mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) regulates cell states and fates in development, cancer and aging. mTORC1 activity regulation was critical for pluripotent stem cells maintenance and cell fate transitions. Inhibition of mTORC1 induces embryonic stem cells (ESCs) entry into a paused state which reversibly arrests self-renewal leaving pluripotency intact. Hyperactivation of mTORC1 impedes both pluripotency re-establishment and exit of PSCs. As shown that mTORC1 mediates TFE3 nuclear translocation block pluripotency exit, whether similar mechanisms through transcription factor TFE3 are involved in these processes, and the detailed mechanism by which mTORC1-TFE3 regulates critical transcriptional processes for these transitions, remain unclear. In this study, we demonstrate that the nuclear translocation of TFE3, induced by hyperactivation of mTORC1, results in its binding to the nucleosome remodeling and deacetylation (NuRD) complex in both re-establishment and exit of pluripotency. This interaction inhibits the expression of various crucial genes during different fate transitions of PSCs. Our findings uncover a common and key role of TFE3-NuRD association as mediator of mTORC1 to block pluripotent cell fate transitions, with implications for various fields including physiological and pathological diseases.

Plakoglobin is a mechanoresponsive regulator of naïve pluripotency

Project description:Biomechanical cues are instrumental in guiding embryonic development and cell differentiation. Understanding how these physical stimuli translate into transcriptional programs could provide insight into mechanisms underlying mammalian pre-implantation development. Here, we explore this by exerting microenvironmental control over mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs). Microfluidic encapsulation of ESCs in agarose microgels stabilized the naïve pluripotency network and specifically induced expression of Plakoglobin (Jup), a vertebrate homologue of β-catenin. Indeed, overexpression of Plakoglobin was sufficient to fully re-establish the naïve pluripotency gene regulatory network under metastable pluripotency conditions, as confirmed by single-cell transcriptome profiling. Finally, we found that in the epiblast, Plakoglobin was exclusively expressed at the blastocyst stage in human and mouse embryos – further strengthening the link between Plakoglobin and naïve pluripotency in vivo. Our work reveals Plakoglobin as a mechanosensitive regulator of naïve pluripotency and provides a paradigm to interrogate the effects of volumetric confinement on cell-fate transitions.

Multi-Omic Profiling Reveals Dynamics of the Phased Progression of Pluripotency

Project description:Pluripotency is highly dynamic and progresses through a continuum of pluripotent stem-cell states. The two states that bookend the pluripotency continuum, naïve and primed, are well characterized, but our understanding of the intermediate states and transitions between them remain incomplete. Here, we dissect the dynamics of pluripotent state transitions underlying pre- to post-implantation epiblast differentiation. Through comprehensive mapping of the proteome, phosphoproteome, transcriptome, and epigenome of embryonic stem cells transitioning from naïve to primed pluripotency, we find that rapid, acute, and widespread changes to the phosphoproteome precede ordered changes to the epigenome, transcriptome, and proteome. Reconstruction of kinase-substrate networks reveals signaling cascades, dynamics, and crosstalk. Distinct waves of global proteomic changes mark discrete phases of pluripotency, with cell state-specific surface markers tracking pluripotent state transitions. Our data provide new insights into the multi-layered control of the phased progression of pluripotency and a foundation for modeling mechanisms regulating pluripotent state transitions (www.stemcellatlasorg).

Global Profiling of the Lysine Crotonylome in Different Pluripotent States

Project description:Understanding the mechanisms of pluripotency maintenance and exit are important for developmental biology and regenerative medicine. However, studies of pluripotency and post-translational modifications of proteins are scarce. To systematically profile protein crotonylation in mouse pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) in different culture conditions, we used affinity purification of crotonylated peptides, TMT labeling, and LC-MS/MS. Our study included PSCs in ground, metastable, and primed state, as well as metastable PSCs undergoing early pluripotency exit. We have successfully identified 8,102 crotonylation sites in 2,578 proteins, among which 3,628 sites in 1,426 proteins were with high-confidence. These high-confidence crotonylated proteins are enriched for factors involved in functions related to pluripotency such as RNA biogenesis, central carbon metabolism, and proteasome function. Our atlas of protein crotonylation will be valuable for further studies of pluripotency regulation and may also provide insights into the role of crotonylation in other cell fate transitions.

Local Genome Topology Can Exhibit an Incompletely Rewired 3D-Folding State During Somatic Cell Reprogramming

Project description:The pluripotent genome is folded in a hierarchy of sophisticated topologies that markedly reconfigure during cell fate transitions. A critical unknown is whether chromatin folding is reversible and functionally linked to the re-establishment of pluripotency in somatic cell reprogramming. Here we integrate classic epigenetic marks with high-resolution architecture maps in embryonic stem (ES) cells, ES-derived neural progenitor cells (NPCs) and NPC-derived induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells. Collectively we demonstrate that chromatin architecture is only partially reconfigured during somatic cell reprogramming and that pluripotent elements can retain architectural memory from their somatic cell of origin.

Gene expression microarray for mouse ES cells vs. mouse ES cells treated with 48 hr N2B27

Project description:Core circuits of transcription factors stabilize stem and progenitor cells by suppressing genes required for differentiation. We do not know how such core circuits are reorganized during cell fate transitions to allow differentiation and lineage choice to proceed. Here, we asked how the pluripotency circuit, a core transcriptional circuit that maintains mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells in a pluripotent state, is dismantled as ES cells differentiate and choose between the neural ectodermal and mesendodermal progenitor cell fates. When ES cells are recultured from pluripotency maintaining conditions to the basal media N2B27, the expression of the pluripotency circuit genes begins to change. At 48 hours post N2B27 addition, the ES cells are competent to respond to differentiation signals. Here, our microarray analysis compares the gene expression profile of ES cells vs. the gene expression profile of cells that have been treated with N2B27 for 48 hours, reaching the competent state. 2 x mouse ES cells in pluripotency maintaining conditions. 3 x mouse ES cells after 48 hr of N2B27 culture

Deconstructing the dynamic transcriptional program of pluripotent stem cells.

Project description:Pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) are capable of dynamic interconversion between distinct substates, but the regulatory circuits specifying these states and enabling transitions between them are not well understood. We set out to address this issue and map the landscape of gene expression variability in PSCs by single-cell expression profiling of PSCs under different chemical and genetic perturbations. We find that signaling factors and developmental regulators show highly variable expression in PSCs, with expression states for some variable genes heritable through multiple cell divisions. Expression variability and population heterogeneity can be influenced by perturbation of signaling pathways and chromatin regulators. Strikingly, either removal of mature miRNAs or pharmacologic blockage of external signaling pathways drives PSCs into a low-noise ground state characterized by a reconfigured pluripotency regulatory network, increased self-renewal efficiency, and a distinct chromatin state, an effect mediated by the action of opposing miRNA families on the c-myc / Lin28 / let-7 axis. These findings illuminate the causes of transcriptional heterogeneity in PSCs and their consequences for cellular decision-making. Single-cell RNA-Seq on 183 individual v6.5 mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs) cultured in serum+LIF media, 94 v6.5 mESCs cultured in 2i+LIF media ('ground state' conditions), and 84 Dgcr8 -/- mESCs (constructed in a v6.5 background), that lack mature miRNAs due to knockout of a miRNA processing factor, cultured in serum+LIF. ChIP-Seq for RNA polymerase II, H3K4me3, H3K27me3, H3K27ac, H3K9me3, and H3K36me3 on the three populations of mESCs profiled by single-cell RNA-Seq. Single-cell RNA-Seq on 54 individual nestin-positive neural precursor cells derived from v6.5 mESCs.
