Myc influences embryonic stem cell pluripotency by regulating miRNAs

ABSTRACT: Previous studies have demonstrated that the c-Myc transcription factor regulates and cooperates with oncogenic miRNAs to accelerate tumorigenesis. Much recent work has shown that Myc plays an important role in stem cell pluripotency. These findings have prompted us to determine whether Myc regulates embryonic stem cell pluripotency through miRNAs. We have employed both miRNA- and expression- profiling to demonstrate that Myc up- or down-regulates a subset of miRNAs, which in turn influence expression of groups of genes involved in lineage differentiation. Chromatin immunoprecipitation analysis indicates that c-Myc binds proximal to the coding regions of these miRNAs in a dose dependent manner. Moreover, introduction of Myc-targeted miRNAs into murine ES cells significantly retards differentiation upon withdrawal of LIF. Our data suggest that at the ES cell stage, c-Myc acts at least in part through a subset of miRNAs to maintain pluripotency.

Synthetic microRNAs were transfected into mouse embryonic stem cells, and expression signatures from these cells were compared to mock-transfected cells (transfection reagent in the absence of microRNA). Two individual experiments were performed, one containing 12h and 24h timepoints and one containing only a 24h timepoint. Within each experiment, each individual signature was ratioed to the average of all signatures in the experiment.

Biochemical Identification of Targets of Individual MicroRNAs in Mouse Embryonic Stem Cells

Project description:Mouse Embryonic Stem (ES) cells express a unique set of microRNAs (miRNAs), the miR-290-295 cluster. To elucidate the role of these miRNAs and how they integrate into the ES cell regulatory network requires identification of their direct regulatory targets. The difficulty, however, arises from the limited complementarity of metazoan miRNAs to their targets, with the interaction requiring as few as six nucleotides of the miRNA seed sequence. To identify miR-294 targets, we used Dicer1-null ES cells, which lack all endogenous mature miRNAs, and introduced just miR-294 into these ES cells. We then employed two approaches to discover miR-294 targets in mouse ES cells: transcriptome profiling using microarrays, and a biochemical approach to isolate mRNA targets associated with the Argonaute2 (Ago2) protein of the RISC (RNA Induced Silencing Complex) effector, followed by RNA-Sequencing. In the absence of Dicer1, the RISC complexes are largely devoid of mature miRNAs, and should therefore contain only transfected miR-294 and its base-paired targets. Our data suggest that miR-294 may promote pluripotency by regulating a subset of c-Myc target genes, and upregulating pluripotency-associated genes such as Lin28. For RNA-IP experiments, cells were transfected with 300 pmol of miR-294 or cel-239b control miRNA (Dharmacon) and harvested 12-16 hr after transfection for immunoprecipitation. Following RNA-immunoprecipitation of Ago2-myc, RNA from the INPUT (total RNA) and IP were subjected to library preparation and sequenced by SOLiD. There are 10 samples from Dicer1-null mouse ES cells, which are essentially 5 sample pairs of INPUT (A) and its corresponding RNA-IP (B): Ago2-myc transfected with miR-294 (sampe 1), 2 replicates of Ago2-myc-MUT (catalytically inactive) transfected with miR-294 (sample 2 & 5), 2 replicates of Ago2-myc transfected with cel-239b (sample 3 & 4).

Transcription profile of FBL-knock down ES cells

Project description:Pluripotent stem cells have been shown to have unique nuclear properties, e.g., hyperdynamic chromatin and large, condensed nucleoli. However, the contribution of the latter unique nucleolar character to pluripotency has not been well understood. Here, we show fibrillarin (FBL), a critical methyltransferase for ribosomal RNA (rRNA) processing in nucleoli, as one of the proteins highly expressed in pluripotent embryonic stem (ES) cells. Stable expression of FBL in ES cells prolonged the pluripotent state of mouse ES cells cultured in the absence of leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF). Analyses using deletion mutants and a point mutant revealed that the methyltransferase activity of FBL regulates stem cell pluripotency. Knock down of this gene led to significant delays in rRNA processing, growth inhibition, and apoptosis in mouse ES cells. Interestingly, both partial knock down of FBL and treatment with actinomycin D, an inhibitor for rRNA synthesis, induced the expression of differentiation markers in the presence of LIF and promoted stem cell differentiation into neuronal lineages. Moreover, we identified p53 signaling as the regulatory pathway for pluripotency and differentiation of ES cells. These results suggest that proper activity of rRNA production in nucleoli is a novel factor for the regulation of pluripotency and differentiation ability of ES cells. Tc-inducible FBL-knock down ES cells were cultured for 2 days with or without Tc in the presence of LIF. These 2 conditions were analysed transcription profile.

Differential gene expression during embryoid body (EB) formation of mouse embryonic stem cells when Hnrnpll was depleted

Project description:This work indicates Hnrnpll depletion mES cells cannot exit from pluripotency programme, showing embryoid body formation deficiency and no spontaneous differentiation withdraw LIF. Hnrnpll promotes multiple ES cell preferred-exon skipping during ES cells differentiation, to reduce the ES cells specific isoform and facilitate ES cells exit from pluripotency towards differentiation.

Effect of LIF on ES cells overexpressing Akt

Project description:Embryonic stem (ES) cells can self-renew indefinitely without losing their differentiation ability to any cell types. Phosphoinositide-3 kinase (PI3K)/Akt signaling plays a pivotal role in various stem cell systems, including the formation of embryonic germ (EG) cells from primordial germ cells and self-renewal of neural stem cells. Here, we show that myristoylated, active form of Akt (myr-Akt) maintained the undifferentiated phenotypes in mouse ES cells without the addition of leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF). The effects of myr-Akt were reversible, because LIF dependence and pluripotent differentiation activity were restored by the deletion of myr-Akt. In addition, myr-Akt-Mer fusion protein, whose enzymatic activity is controlled by 4-hydroxy-tamoxifen, also maintained the pluripotency of not only mouse but also cynomolgus monkey ES cells. These results clearly demonstrate that Akt signaling sufficiently maintains pluripotency in mouse and primate ES cells, and support the notion that PI3K/Akt signaling axis regulates 'stemness' in a broad spectrum of stem cell systems.
