IGF1-mediated human embryonic stem cell self-renewal recapitulates the embryonic niche

ABSTRACT: Our understanding of signalling pathways that regulate human pluripotent epiblast cells is limited, despite their fundamental biological and clinical importance. In this study, we mined human embryo transcriptomics datasets, and identified expression of transcripts for the insulin and insulin growth factor 1 (IGF1) receptors, along with IGF1 ligand. Human embryos cultured in medium supplemented with IGF1 showed an increase in the proportion of NANOG-expressing pluripotent epiblast progenitor cells. Consequently, we generated a minimal chemically-defined culture medium informed by the signalling environment of the human embryo. We derived several human embryonic stem cell (hESC) lines and reprogrammed fibroblasts to induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) in these conditions. Transcriptome and protein expression analyses confirmed that these hESCs and iPSCs expressed pluripotency-associated genes. Moreover, hESCs and iPSCs retained high viability, the ability to undergo spontaneous and directed differentiation, and a normal karyotype. By contrast, fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF2) was detrimental to epiblast development and dispensable for hESC cultures maintained in exogenous insulin or IGF1. This is the first example of how integrating signalling insights from human blastocysts can be used to define hESC culture conditions that more closely recapitulate the embryonic niche.

RNA-Seq of 3iL human embryonic stem cells

Project description:Human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) are isolated from the inner cell mass of the blastocysts. The pluripotent properties of hESCs enable the derivation of cell-types or tissues of different lineages for potential applications such as therapeutics discovery and regenerative medicine. Even though hESCs are pluripotent, differences have been observed when compared to the native pluripotent epiblast cells of the blastocyst. We use a chemical approach (3iL: 3 small molecule inhibitor and cytokine) to induce an expression signature that more closely resembles native pluripotent cells. To better understand the difference between this hESC state and the conventional hESC state, we generated the global expression profiles using RNA-seq.

Human iPSCs derived under feeder free conditions displays an unqiue cell cycle and DNA replication genotype

Project description:Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) have been generated from various somatic cells under feeder-layer conditions. These feeder-derived iPSCs generated in different labs exhibit greater variability than between different traditional embryo derived hESC lines. For that reason, it is important to develop a standard and defined system for deriving autologous patient stem cells. We have generated iPSCs under feeder-free conditions using Matrigel coated vessels in chemically defined medium, mTeSR1. These feeder-free derived iPSCs are in many ways similar to feeder-derived iPSCs and also to hESCs, with respect to their pluripotent gene expression (OCT4, NANOG, SOX2), protein expression (OCT4, NANOG, SSEA4, TRA160) and differentiation capabilities. We conducted a whole genomic transcript analysis using Affymetrix Human Gene 1.0 ST arrays to elucidate the important differences between traditional feeder-derived iPSCs and feeder-free derived iPSCs. We reveal that feeder-free iPSCs have over-represented terms belonging to DNA replication and cell cycle genes which are lacking in feeder-derived iPSCs. Feeder-free iPSCs are in many aspects more similar to hESCs including; apoptosis, chromatin modification enzymes and mitochondrial energy metabolism. We have also identified potential biomarkers for fully reprogrammed iPSCs (FRZB) and partially reprogrammed iPSCs (POTEG, MX2) based on their expression trends across all cell types. In conclusion, feeder-free derived iPSCs is transcriptomically more similar to hESCs than feeder derived iPSCs, in many biological functions. For each cell sample, 2 or 3 biological replicates were obtained.

Reversion to naïve human pluripotency creates a new methylation landscape devoid of blastocyst or germline memory

Project description:Human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) typically exhibit "primed" pluripotency, analogous to stem cells derived from the mouse post-implantation epiblast. This has led to a search for growth conditions that support self-renewal of hESCs akin to hypomethylated naïve epiblast cells in human pre-implantation embryos. We have discovered that reverting primed hESCs to a hypomethylated naïve state or deriving a new hESC line under naïve conditions results in the establishment of Stage Specific Embryonic Antigen 4 (SSEA4) negative hESC lines with a transcriptional program resembling the human pre-implantation epiblast. In contrast, we discovered that the methylome of naïve hESCs in vitro is distinct from the human epiblast in vivo with loss of DNA methylation at primary imprints and a lost "memory" of the methylation state of the human oocyte. This failure to recover the naïve epiblast methylation landscape appears to be a consistent feature of self-renewing hypomethylated naïve hESCs in vitro.

Comparing isogenic pairs of hESC and hiPSC lines reveals genetic background and reprogramming method as primary sources of transcriptional variation

Project description:The equivalency of human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) with human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) remains controversial. Here, we devised a strategy to assess the contribution of clonal growth, reprogramming method and genetic background to transcriptional patterns in hESCs and hiPSCs. Surprisingly, transcriptional variation originating from two different genetic backgrounds was dominant over variation due to the reprogramming method or cell type of origin of pluripotent cell lines. Moreover, the few differences we detected between isogenic hESCs and hiPSCs neither predicted functional outcome, nor distinguished an independently derived, larger set of unmatched hESC/hiPSC lines. We conclude that hESCs and hiPSCs are transcriptionally and functionally highly similar and cannot be distinguished by a consistent gene expression signature. Our data further imply that genetic background variation is a major confounding factor for transcriptional comparisons of pluripotent cell lines, explaining some of the previously observed expression differences between unmatched hESCs and hiPSCs. Expression profiling of human embryonic stem cells (ESCs), induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) and fibroblasts, mostly in triplicates.

Cellular models of hepatogenesis using embryonic stem cells

Project description:Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) and human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) can be differentiated into hepatocyte-like cells (HLCs) and thus provide a defined and renewable source for toxicology and regenerative medicine. Critical comparison of patient-specific iPSCs to the golden standard—hESCs will provide an assessment of their strengths and weaknesses. This dataset consists of data at the transcriptional level during the differentiation process of hESCs into HLCs including the definite endoderm (DE) and hepatic endoderm (HE) stages. Besides for the study of this in-vitro-hepatogenesis model, it can be used as reference for investigating the differences and similarities between iPSC and hESC cellular models during hepatogenesis.

Novel culture conditions facilitating the induction of naïve pluripotency in human embryonic stem cells

Project description:It is now well recognized that human embryonic stem cells (hESCs)1 closely resemble mouse epiblast stem cells (mEpiSCs)2-5 exhibiting primed pluripotency unlike mouse ESCs (mESCs) which acquire a naïve pluripotent state4-8. Efforts have been made to trigger naïve pluripotency in hESCs9-11 for subsequent unbiased lineage-specific differentiation, a common conundrum faced by primed pluripotent hESCs due to heterogeneity in gene expression existing within and between hESC lines12. We report here a novel culture medium facilitating rapid induction of naïve pluripotency in established hESCs. Our medium also allows derivation of naïve mESCs from blastocyst stage which has not been shown earlier. The established naïve hESCs could survive long-term single cell passaging, maintain a normal karyotype, exhibit upregulation of naïve pluripotency genes and were dependent on signaling pathways similar to naïve mESCs. Also, they undergo global DNA demethylation, cluster together with previously described naïve hESCs13 and show a distinctive long non-coding RNA profile. Collectively, we demonstrate an alternate route to capture naïve pluripotency in hESCs which is fast, reproducible, can be employed to derive naïve mESCs and can induce efficient differentiation. Three primed and matching naive human embryonic stem cell lines were profiled in duplo.

ELABELA Is an Endogenous Growth Factor that Sustains hESC Self-Renewal Via the PI3K/AKT Pathway

Project description:ELABELA (ELA) is a peptide hormone required for heart development that signals via the Apelin Receptor (APLNR, APJ). ELA is also abundantly secreted by human embryonic stem cells (hESCs), which do not express APLNR. Here we show that ELA signals in a paracrine fashion in hESCs to maintain self-renewal. ELA inhibition by CRISPR/Cas9-mediated deletion, shRNA or neutralizing antibodies causes reduced hESC growth, cell death and loss of pluripotency. Global phosphoproteomic and transcriptomic analyses of ELA-pulsed hESCs show that it activates PI3K/AKT/mTORC1 signaling required for cell survival. ELA promotes hESC cell cycle progression and protein translation, and blocks stress-induced apoptosis. INSULIN and ELA have partially overlapping functions in hESC medium, but only ELA can potentiate the TGFβ pathway to prime hESCs towards the endoderm lineage. We propose that ELA, acting through an alternate cell-surface receptor, is an endogenous secreted growth factor in human embryos and hESCs that promotes growth and pluripotency. Global Transcriptomic Analysis of INSULIN versus ELA-pulsed human embryonic stem cells was performed to elucidate the functional overlap between these two ligands
