Project description:Induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells can be obtained from fibroblasts by expression of Oct4, Sox2, Klf4, and c-Myc. To determine how these factors induce this change in cell identity, we carried out genomewide promoter analysis of their binding in iPS and partially reprogrammed cells. Most targets in iPS cells are shared with ES cells and the factors cooperate to activate the ES-like expression program. In partially reprogrammed cells, genes bound by c-Myc have achieved a more ES-like binding and expression pattern. In contrast, genes that are co-bound by Oct4, Sox2, and Klf4 in ES cells and that encode pluripotency regulators show severe lack of both binding and transcriptional activation. Among the factors, c-Myc has a pivotal effect on the initiation of the ES transcription program, including the repression of fibroblast-specific genes. Our analysis begins to unravel how the four factors function together and suggests a temporal and separable order of their effects during reprogramming. For genome wide expression analysis: A. ES/iPS/partial iPS cells were analyzed in duplicates from 2 different cell lines (e.g four samples per cell type) B. tet inducible factors (tetO/tetS/tetC/tetK) were analyzed individually, a control was an uninduced tet line. C. OCK expression was performed in duplicate with 2 different clones. For genome wide location analysis (ChIP-chip): Oct4/Sox2/c-Myc/Klf4 were performed with biological duplicates (2 clonally isolated iPS/partial iPS lines and ES cells were performed with v6.5 and E14 cell lines)

Project description:We generated iPS cells with a synthetic self-replicative RNA that expresses four independent reprogramming factors (OCT4, KLF4, SOX2 and either c-MYC or GLIS1). We performed whole genome RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) of iPS cell clones, parental BJ and HUES9 ES cell controls. All iPS cell clones analyzed by RNA-seq showed unsupervised hierarchical clustering and expression signatures characteristic of human HUES9 ES cells that were highly divergent from parental human fibroblasts. RNA-seq in two OKS-iM iPS clones (generated from OCT4, KLF4, SOX2 and cMYC expressing RNA replicon), two OKS-iG clones (generated from OCT4, KLF4, SOX2 and GLIS1 expressing RNA replicon), HUES9 and BJ cells.

Project description:Somatic cells can be reprogrammed into induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells by Oct4, Sox2, Klf4, plus c-Myc. Recently, Sox2 plus Oct4 were shown to reprogram fibroblasts and Oct4 alone to reprogram mouse and human neural stem cells (NSCs) into iPS cells. Here we report that Bmi1 leads to dedifferentiation of mouse fibroblasts into NSC-like cells and, in combination with Oct4, replaces Sox2, Klf4 and c-Myc during reprogramming fibroblasts to iPS cells. Furthermore, activation of sonic hedgehog signalling (by Shh, purmorphamine, or oxysterol) replaces the effects of Bmi1, and, in combination with Oct4, reprograms mouse embryonic and adult fibroblasts into iPS cells. One-and two-factor iPS cells are similar to mouse embryonic and adult fibroblasts into iPS cells in global gene expression profile, epigenetic status, in vitro and in bibo differentiation into all three ferm layers, as well as teratoma formation and germline transmission in vivo. These data support that fibroblasts can be reprogrammed into iPS cells by Oct4 alone.

Project description:Differentiated somatic cells can be reprogrammed into induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells by forced expression of four transcription factors—Oct4, Sox2, Klf4, and c-Myc. However, it remains undetermined whether the reprogrammed iPS cells are fully pluripotent, resembling normal embryonic stem (ES) cells, given that no iPS cell lines have been shown to possess the capability to autonomously generate full-term mice after injection into tetraploid blastocysts. Here, we provide evidence demonstrating that iPS cells induced by the four transcription factors can be fully pluripotent and that full-term mice can be produced from complemented tetraploid blastocysts. This work serves as a proof of principle that iPS cells can generate full term embryos by tetraploid complementation.

Project description:In the murine system, Oct4, Sox2, c-Myc and Klf4 are sufficient to convert fibroblasts to induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells that exhibit many characteristics of embryonic stem (ES) cells. Herein, we show that the orphan nuclear receptor Esrrb works in conjunction with Oct4 and Sox2 to mediate reprogramming of mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) to iPS cells. Esrrb reprogrammed cells share similar expression and epigenetic signatures as ES cells. These cells are also pluripotent and can differentiate in vitro and in vivo into the three major embryonic cell lineages. Furthermore, these cells contribute to mouse chimeras and are germline transmissible. In ES cells, Esrrb targets many genes involved in selfrenewal and pluripotency. This suggests that Esrrb may mediate reprogramming through the up-regulation of ES cell-specific genes. Our findings also indicate that it is possible to reprogram MEFs without exogenous Klf transcription factors and link a nuclear receptor to somatic cell reprogramming. We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression of ES cells, Esrrb reprogrammed iPS cell lines and MEFs. Keywords: comparative

Project description:Pluripotency can be induced in murine and human fibroblast by transduction of four transcription factors (Oct4, Sox2, Klf4 and c-Myc). Previously we reported that two factors (Oct4 and Klf4) are sufficient for reprogramming adult mouse neural stem cells (NSCs) to a pluripotent state. However, although NSCs endogenously express the factors Sox2, c-Myc, and Klf4, our previous report does not elucidate why exogenous expression of either Klf4 or c-Myc is still required for reprogramming. Here we report that exogenous expression of Oct4 is sufficient to generate one-factor induced pluripotent stem (1F iPS) cells without any oncogenic factors, such as c-Myc and Klf4, from mouse adult NSCs, which endogenously express Sox2, c-Myc, and Klf4, and also intermediate reprogramming markers alkaline phosphatase (AP), stage-specific embryonic antigen-1 (SSEA-1). These results extend our previous report proposing that somatic cells can be reprogrammed to a pluripotent state with a reducing number of reprogramming factors when the complementing factors are endogenously expressed in the somatic cells.

Project description:Ten-eleven translocation (TET) family enzymes can convert 5-methylcytosine (5mC) into 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) in DNA and have been proposed as potential DNA demethylase candidates1. Evidences from recent studies indicated that Tet1 is predominantly expressed in ES cells and plays dual functions in promoting transcription of pluripotency genes and as well as participating in the repression of developmental genes by facilitating recruitment of PRC21-5. These studies further raised the possibility that Tet1 might play a role in somatic cell reprogramming. Here, we provide evidence showing that Tet1 can substitute for pluripotent transcription factors in reprogramming differentiated somatic cells to pluripotent stem cells. Tet1 can replace any one of the four traditional transcription factors including Oct4, Sox2, Klf4 and c-Myc during somatic cell reprogramming. Subsequently, the chimeric mice with germline transmission capacity could be efficiently produced from all induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cell lines reprogrammed by OT (Oct4, Tet1), TSKM (Tet1, Sox2, Klf4, c-Myc), OTK, OTKM and OSTM combinations. Furthermore, the TSKM-reprogrammed iPS cells without using Oct4 could produce viable full-term iPS mice with normal fertility through tetraploid complementation and secondary iPS cells could be induced subsequently from the somatic cells retrieved from the iPS mice. Moreover, we demonstrated that conversion of 5mC into 5hmC in Nanog promoter occurred during reprogramming, which might account in part for the mechanism of Tet1 mediated reprogramming. To our knowledge, our study provides the first evidence demonstrating that DNA modifying enzyme Tet1 can replace the pluripotent transcription factors to reprogram differentiated somatic cells to iPS cells. Gene expression profile of iPS cells and ES cells were generated by Affymetrix Mouse Gene 1.0 ST Array. The Gene expression profile of ES cell R1 was used as control. Three biological repeats were included for each line.

Project description:Reprogramming of somatic cells is a valuable tool to understand the mechanisms of regaining pluripotency and further opens up the possibility to generate patient-specific pluripotent stem cells. Reprogramming of mouse and human somatic cells into pluripotent stem cells, designated as induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells, has been possible with the expression of the transcription factor quartet Oct4, Sox2, c-Myc, and Klf4. Considering that ectopic expression of c-Myc causes tumourigenicity in offspring and retroviruses themselves can cause insertional mutagenesis, the generation of iPS cells with a minimal number of factors may hasten the clinical application of this approach. Here, we show that adult mouse neural stem cells (NSCs) express higher endogenous levels of Sox2 and c-Myc than ES cells and that exogenous Oct4 together with either Klf4 or c-Myc are sufficient to generate iPS cells from NSCs. These two-factor (2F) iPS cells are similar to embryonic stem cells at the molecular level, contribute to development of the germline, and form chimeras. We propose that, in inducing pluripotency, the number of reprogramming factors can be reduced when using somatic cells that endogenously express appropriate levels of complementing factors.
