Project description:BMP4 regulates a plethora of developmental processes including dorsal-ventral axis and neural patterning. Here we report that BMP4 reconfigures nuclear archi-tecture during primed to naive transition (PNT). We first established a robust BMP4 driven PNT and shown by ATAC- and RNA-seq that it orchestrates the chromatin accessibility dynamics during PNT. Among the loci opened early by BMP4, we identified Zbtb7a/b as new targets that contribute to drive PNT. Mechanically, BMP first activates Zbtb7a/b in both chromatin and gene expression level, which in turn facilitate the opening of naïve pluripotent chromatin loci and allow the activation of naïve pluripotent genes. Surprisingly, Zbtb7a not only binds to chromatin loci near the genes to be activated, but also strategically occupies those to be silenced, thus resolving the conflicting role of BMP4 in both activating and suppressing gene ex-pression during PNT at the chromatin level. Our results reveal a previously un-known function of BMP4 in regulating nuclear architecture and link its targets Zbtb7a/b to chromatin remodeling and pluripotent fate control.

Project description:Mouse naive and primed pluripotent stem cells, ESC and EpiSC, represent two distinct stages of pluripotency. Here we report that BMP4 drives primed to naive transition or PNT by reprogramming chromatin accessibility. ATAC-seq reveals that a short pulse of BMP4 triggers EpiSCs to close 26409 and open 6428 loci to reach an intermediate state that continue to open 18744 and close 7042 loci under 2iL until reaching a naive state, following with a dramatic reactivation of the silenced X chromosome. Among loci opened by BMP4 are those encoding Id1, Tfap2c/2a and Zbtb7b that synergistically drive PNT without BMP4. Tfap2c-/- ESCs or EpiSCs self-renew normally, while the former capable of differentiating to the latter but the latter fails to undergo PNT, a defect rescuable by exogenous Tfap2c. Our results link BMP4 to PNT through a binary logic of chromatin closing and opening, revealing the intrinsic power of extracellular factors to reorganize nuclear architecture in development.

Project description:CpG islands (CGIs) including those at imprinting control regions (ICRs) are protected from de novo methylation in somatic cells. However, many cancers often exhibit CGI hypermethylation, implying that the machinery is impaired in cancer cells. Here, we conducted a comprehensive analysis of CGI methylation during somatic cell reprogramming. Although most CGIs remain hypomethylated, a small subset of CGIs, particularly at several ICRs, was often de novo methylated in reprogrammed pluripotent stem cells (PSCs). Such de novo ICR methylation was linked with the silencing of reprogramming factors, which occurs at a late stage of reprogramming. The ICR-preferred CGI hypermethylation was similarly observed in human PSCs. Mechanistically, ablation of Dnmt3a prevented PSCs from de novo ICR methylation. Notably, the ICR-preferred CGI hypermethylation was observed in pediatric cancers, while adult cancers exhibit genome-wide CGI hypermethylation. These results may have important implications in the pathogenesis of pediatric cancers and the application of PSCs.

Project description:Multiple pluripotent states have been described in mouse and human stem cells. Here, we apply single-cell RNA-seq to a newly established BMP4 induced mouse primed to naïve transition (BiPNT) system and show that the reset is not a direct reversal of cell fate but goes through a primordial germ cell-like cells (PGCLCs) state. We first show that epiblast stem cells bifurcate into c-Kit+ naïve and c-Kit- trophoblast-like cells, among which, the naïve branch undergoes further transition through a PGCLCs intermediate capable of spermatogenesis in vivo. Mechanistically, we show that DOT1L inhibition permits the transition from primed pluripotency to PGCLCs in part by facilitating the loss of H3K79me2 from Gata3/6. In addition, Prdm1/Blimp1 is required for PGCLCs and naïve cells, while Gata2 inhibits PGC-like state by promoting trophoblast-like fate. Our work not only reveals an alternative route for primed to naïve transition, but also gains insight into germ cell development.

Project description:Although the broad and unique differentiation potential of pluripotent stem cells relies on a complex transcriptional network centered around Oct4, Sox2, and Nanog, two well-distinct pluripotent states, called "naive" and "primed", have been described in vitro and markedly differ in their developmental potential, their expression profiles, their signaling requirements, and their reciprocal conversion. Aiming to determine the key features that segregate and coordinate these two states, data-driven optimization of network models is performed to identify relevant parameter regimes and reduce network complexity to its core structure. Decision dynamics of optimized networks is characterized by signal-dependent multistability and strongly asymmetric transitions among naive, primed, and nonpluripotent states. Further model perturbation and reduction approaches reveal that such a dynamical landscape of pluripotency involves a functional partitioning of the regulatory network. Specifically, two overlapping positive feedback modules, Klf4/Esrrb/Nanog and Oct4/Nanog, stabilize the naive or the primed state, respectively. In turn, their incoherent feedforward and negative feedback coupling mediated by the Erk/Gsk3 module is critical for robust segregation and sequential progression between naive and primed states before irreversible exit from pluripotency.
