DMRT1-mediated reprogramming drives development of cancer resembling human germ cell tumors with features of totipotency

ABSTRACT: In vivo reprogramming provokes a wide range of cell fate conversion. Here, we discover that in vivo induction of higher levels of OSKM in mouse somatic cells leads to increased expression of primordial germ cell (PGC)-related genes and provokes genome-wide erasure of genomic imprinting, which takes place exclusively in PGCs. Moreover, the in vivo OSKM reprogramming results in development of cancer that resembles human germ cell tumors. Like a subgroup of germ cell tumors, propagated tumor cells differentiate into trophoblasts. Moreover, these tumor cells give rise to induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) with expanded differentiation potential into trophoblasts. Remarkably, the tumor-derived iPSCs are able to contribute to non-neoplastic somatic cells in adult mice. Mechanistically, DMRT1, which is expressed in PGCs, drives the reprogramming and propagation of the tumor cells in vivo. Furthermore, the DMRT1-related epigenetic landscape is associated with trophoblast competence of the reprogrammed cells and provides a therapeutic target for germ cell tumors. These results reveal an unappreciated route for somatic cell reprogramming and underscore the impact of reprogramming in development of germ cell tumors.

The H3K27 demethylase Utx facilitates somatic and germ cell epigenetic reprogramming to pluripotency [Affymetrix gene expression]

Project description:Pluripotency can be induced in somatic cells by ectopic expression of defined transcription factors, however the identity of epigenetic regulators driving the progression of cellular reprogramming requires further investigation. Here we uncover a non-redundant role for the JmjC-domain-containing protein histone H3 methylated Lys 27 (H3K27) demethylase Utx, as a critical regulator for the induction, but not for the maintenance, of primed and naM-CM-/ve pluripotency in mice and in humans. Utx depletion results in aberrant H3K27me3 repressive chromatin demethylation dynamics, which subsequently hampers the reactivation of pluripotency promoting genes during reprogramming. Remarkably, Utx deficient primordial germ cells (PGCs) display a cell autonomous aberrant epigenetic reprogramming in vivo during their embryonic maturation, resulting in the lack of functional contribution to the germ-line lineage. Samples include UTX+/Y (WT) and UTX-/Y (KO) cells from mouse ES cells and mouse embryonic fibroblast (MEF) before and after DOX induction (initiating reprogramming by OSKM factors). One sample is OSKM-induced Nanog-/- fibroblasts.

Transcriptional profiling of mouse inner cell mass of the blastocyst, primordial germ cells and cultured pluripotent stem cells

Project description:Pluripotent stem cells are derived from culture of early embryos or the germline, and can be induced by reprogramming of somatic cells. Barriers to reprogramming are expected to exist that stabilize the differentiated state and have tumor suppression functions. However, we have a limited understanding of what such barriers might be. To find novel barriers to reprogramming to pluripotency, we compared the transcriptional profiles of the mouse germline to pluripotent and somatic cells, in vivo and in vitro. There is a remarkable global expression of the transcriptional program for pluripotency in Primordial Germ Cells (PGCs). We identify parallels between PGCs reprogramming to pluripotency and human germ cell tumorigenesis, including the loss of LATS2, a tumor suppressor kinase of the Hippo pathway. We show that knockdown of LATS2 increases the efficiency of induction of pluripotency in human cells. LATS2 RNAi, unlike p53 RNAi, specifically enhances the generation of fully reprogrammed iPS cells without accelerating cell proliferation. We further show that LATS2 represses reprogramming in human cells by post-transcriptionally antagonizing TAZ but not YAP, two downstream effectors of the Hippo pathway. These results reveal transcriptional parallels between germ cell transformation and the generation of iPS cells, and indicate that the Hippo pathway constitutes a barrier to cellular reprogramming. Mouse pluripotent cells isolated directly from embryos or cultured in vitro as stem cells were analyzed using Affymetrix expression microarrays, together with several non-pluripotent cell controls, in 2-6 replicates per sample.

Regulation of human germline commitment by DMRT1 [RNA-seq and Cut&Run]

Project description:Nascent human primordial germ cell-like cells (PGCLCs) can be specified with BMP2 or BMP4 together with SCF and EGF from germline competent embryonic stem cells which are maintained in the presence of inhibitors for GSK3, MEK, p38 and JNK together with FGF2, TGFβ and LIF (4i ESC). Here we discovered that Activin A and retinoic acid treatment after PGC specification induced genes expressed in migrating and gonadal PGCs in vivo, including DMRT1 and CDH5. Ectopic expression of DMRT1 and SOX17 resulted in repression of pluripotent genes as well as induction of DAZL and a subset of mitotic arrest PGC genes. Our findings provide novel insights on the roles of DMRT1 for the transition from nascent PGCs towards germline determination and molecular mechanisms of early human germline development.

Sexual cell fate reprogramming in the ovary by DMRT1

Project description:Transcription factors related to the insect sex determination gene Doublesex (DMRT proteins) control sex determination and/or sexual differentiation in diverse metazoans. They also are implicated in transitions between sex-determining mechanisms during vertebrate evolution. In mice Dmrt1 is required for male gonadal differentiation in somatic cells and germ cells. DMRT1 also maintains male gonadal sex: its loss, even in adults, can trigger sexual fate reprogramming in which male Sertoli cells transdifferentiate into their female equivalents - granulosa cells - and testicular tissue reorganizes to a more ovarian morphology. Here we use a conditional Dmrt1 transgene to show that Dmrt1 is not only necessary but also sufficient to specify male cell identity in the mouse gonad. DMRT1 expression in the ovary silenced the female sex-maintenance gene Foxl2 and reprogrammed juvenile and adult granulosa cells into Sertoli-like cells, triggering formation of structures resembling male seminiferous tubules. DMRT1 can silence Foxl2 even in the absence of the testis-determining genes Sox8 and Sox9. mRNA profiling found that DMRT1 activates many testicular genes and downregulates ovarian genes and single cell RNA-seq in transdifferentiating cells identified dynamically expressed candidate mediators of this process. Strongly upregulated genes were highly enriched on chromosome X, consistent with sexually antagonistic functions. This study provides an in vivo example of single gene reprogramming of cell sexual identity. Our findings suggest a reconsideration of mechanisms involved in human disorders of sexual development (DSD) and empirically support evolutionary models where loss or gain of Dmrt1 function promotes establishment of new vertebrate sex determination systems.

Germ cell specific high level of H3K9me3 in chicken PGCs: distribution and role in gene expression control [RNA-Seq]

Project description:Chicken primordial germ cells (PGCs) have an epigenetic signature which differs from the one that mammalian PGCs acquire with their epigenome reprogramming during early embryonic development. In particular, chicken PGCs display a high global amount of histone H3 lysine 9 trimethylation (H3K9me3) compared to somatic cell types. We performed the genome-wide profiling of H3K9me3 and the transcriptome analysis on chicken PGCs compared to embryonic stem cells (ESCs) as a closely related, non germinal cell type.
