Lack of Rybp in Mouse Embryonic Stem Cells Impairs Cardiac Differentiation

ABSTRACT: Ring1 and Yy1 binding protein (Rybp) has been implicated in transcriptional regulation, apoptotic signaling and as a member of the polycomb repressive complex 1, it has an important function in regulating pluripotency and differentiation of embryonic stem cells (ESCs). Earlier, we had proved that Rybp plays an essential role in mouse embryonic and central nervous system development. This work identifies Rybp, as a critical regulator of heart development. Rybp is readily detectable in the developing mouse heart from day 8.5 of embryonic development. Prominent Rybp expression persists during all embryonic stages, and Rybp marks differentiated cell types of the heart. By utilizing rybp null ESCs in an in vitro cardiac differentiation assay, we found that rybp null ESCs do not form rhythmically beating cardiomyocytes (CMCs). Gene expression profiles revealed a downregulation of cardiac terminal and upregulation of germline-specific markers in the rybp null CMCs. Furthermore, transcriptome analysis uncovered a number of novel candidate target genes regulated by Rybp. Among these are several that are important in cardiac development and contractility such as Plagl1, Isl1, and Tnnt2. Importantly, forced expression of rybp in rybp-deficient ESCs by a lentiviral vector was able to rescue the mutant phenotype. Our data provide evidence for a previously unrecognized function of Rybp in heart development and point out the importance of germ cell lineage gene silencing during somatic differentiation.

Population RNA-seq of human ESC-derived cardiac derivatives

Project description:In vitro cardiac differentiation of human ESCs recapitulates in vivo embryonic heart development, and thus, serves as an excellent tool to investigate human cardiac development. Identification of molecular signatures during cardiac differentiation of human ESCs is instrumental for advancing our understanding of human cardiogenesis. We, as well as others have improved cardiac differentiation protocols significantly in recent years; however, detailed molecular mechanisms involved in cardiac lineage commitment have not yet been clearly defined. Based on this, we tried to identify the cellular hierarchies and molecular signatures of each of the in vitro human ESC-differentiating cardiac cell lineages through the well-established cardiac differentiatio protocol by Wnt signaling modulation and the FACS-sorted population RNA-seq analyses.

Functional Dissection of Variant Polycomb Repressive Complex 1 Subunits RYBP and YAF2 during Neural Differentiation of Embryonic Stem Cells

Project description:Polycomb repressive complex 1 (PRC1) comprises two different complexes: CBX-containing canonical PRC1 (cPRC1) and RYBP/YAF2-containing variant PRC1 (vPRC1). RYBP-vPRC1 or YAF2-vPRC1 catalyzes H2AK119ub through a positive-feedback model; however, whether RYBP and YAF2 have different regulatory functions is still unclear. Here, we show that the expression of RYBP and YAF2 decreases and increases, respectively, during neural differentiation of embryonic stem cells (ESCs). Rybp knockout impairs neural differentiation by activating Wnt signaling and derepressing nonneuroectoderm-associated genes. However, Yaf2 knockout promotes neural differentiation and leads to redistribution of RYBP binding, increases enrichment of RYBP and H2AK119ub on the RYBP-YAF2 cotargeted genes, and prevents ectopic derepression of nonneuroectoderm-associated genes in neural-differentiated cells. Taken together, this study reveals that RYBP and YAF2 function differentially in regulating mESC neural differentiation.

HOP homeobox (Hopx) and Histone deacetylase-2 (Hdac2) deficiency effect on the embryonic heart

Project description:Analysis of heart ventricles from Hopx, Hdac2, and both Hopx-Hdac2 deficient embryos at embryonic day E16.5. Results provide insight into the role of Hopx and Hdac2 in cardiac development. We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression underlying cardiac development by Hopx and Hdac2 and identified distinct classes of up-regulated and down-regulated genes during this process. Mouse embryonic ventricles were selected at E16.5 for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. We obtained three independent embryonic ventricles for WT, Hopx-null, Hdac2-null, and Hopx-Hdac2 double null genotypes.

Analysis of transcriptome changes in Kmt2d deletion in cardiac mesoderm, anterior heart field precursors and cardiomyocytes

Project description:KMT2D is required in the cardiac mesoderm, anterior heart field precursors and cardiomyocytes. Kmt2d deletion in cardiac mesoderm (Mesp1Cre) is embryonic lethal at E10.5 and mutants have hypoplastic hearts; Kmt2d deletion in anterior heart field precursors (Mef2cAHF::Cre) deletion is embryonic lethal at E13.5 and mutants have defects in septation of outflow tract and interventricular septum (IVS); Kmt2d deletion in cardiomyocytes (Tnnt2::Cre) deletion is embryonic lethal at E14.5 and mutants have defects in IVS septation and compact myocardium. The goal of this study is to compare changes in gene expression in these Kmt2d conditional deletion mutants and understand common or distinct pathways dysregulated in absence of KMT2D. Whole genome gene expression analysis was performed on RNA isolated from control and mutant embryonic hearts (or right ventricles and outflow tract for anterior heart field deletion samples). Libraries were prepared using Illumina TruSeq Paired-End Cluster Kit v3, and sequenced with the Illumina HiSeq 2500 system for pair-ended 100 base pairs (PE 100 bp).

Functional dissection of PRC1 subunits RYBP and YAF2 during neural differentiation of embryonic stem cells

Project description:Polycomb repressive complex 1 (PRC1) comprises two different complexes: CBX-containing canonical PRC1 (cPRC1) and RYBP/YAF2-containing variant PRC1 (vPRC1). RYBP and its paralog YAF2 recruit vPRC1 to catalyze H2AK119ub through a positive-feedback model. Here, we show that expression of RYBP and YAF2 decreases and increases, respectively, during neural differentiation of embryonic stem cells (ESCs). Rybp knockout impairs neural differentiation by activating Wnt signaling and derepressing nonneuroectoderm-associated genes. However, Yaf2 knockout promotes neural differentiation and leads to redistribution of RYBP binding, increases enrichment of RYBP and H2AK119ub on the RYBP-YAF2 co-targeted genes, and prevents ectopic derepression of nonneuroectoderm-associated genes in neural-differentiated cells. Furthermore, the phase separations mediated by RYBP alone or together with RING1B are easier and more stable than those by YAF2, which might facilitate the deposition of H2AK119ub more abundantly by RYBP-PRC1 than YAF2-PRC1. Together, this study reveals that RYBP might maintain repressed chromatin more strongly and function differentially in regulating mESC neural differentiation compared with YAF2.

Rybp Modulates Embryonic Neurogenesis Involving the Notch Signaling Pathway in a PRC1-Independent Manner

Project description:Rybp plays pivotal roles in regulating organic development, spermatogenesis, apoptosis and cancer. However, it remains unknown regarding the function of Rybp in regulating neuronal development. In the present study, we have shown that the depletion of Rybp in embryonic neural progenitor cells (NPCs) impairs proliferation and promotes neuronal differentiation of embryonic NPCs. In additon, Rybp deficiency results in alterations in dendritic shape of neuron.

Single-cell Transcriptomic Profiling Unveils Cardiac Cell-type Specific Response to Maternal Hyperglycemia Underlying the Risk of Congenital Heart Defects

Project description:Congenital heart disease (CHD) is the most prevalent structural malformations of the heart affecting ∼1% of live births. To date, both damaging genetic variations and adverse environmental exposure such as maternal diabetes have been found to cause CHD. Clinical studies show ∼fivefold higher risk of CHD in the offspring of mothers with pregestational diabetes. Maternal pregestational diabetes affects the gene regulatory networks key to proper cardiac development in the fetus. However, the cell-type specificity of these gene regulatory responses to maternal diabetes and their association with the observed cardiac defects in the fetuses remains unknown. To uncover the transcriptional responses to maternal diabetes in the early embryonic heart, we used an established murine model of pregestational diabetes. In this model, we have previously demonstrated an increased incidence of CHD. Here, we show maternal hyperglycemia (matHG) elicits diverse cellular responses during heart development by single-cell RNA-sequencing in embryonic hearts exposed to control and matHG environment. Through differential gene-expression and pseudotime trajectory analyses of this data, we identified changes in lineage specifying transcription factors, predominantly affecting Isl1+ second heart field progenitors and Tnnt2+cardiomyocytes with matHG. Using in vivo cell-lineage tracing studies, we confirmed that matHG exposure leads to impaired second heart field-derived cardiomyocyte differentiation. Finally, this work identifies matHG-mediated transcriptional determinants in cardiac cell lineages elevate CHD risk and show perturbations in Isl1-dependent gene-regulatory network (Isl1-GRN) affect cardiomyocyte differentiation. Functional analysis of this GRN in cardiac progenitor cells will provide further mechanistic insights into matHG-induced severity of CHD associated with diabetic pregnancies.

The Polycomb protein Pcgf2/Mel18 regulates mesoderm cell fate-specification of embryonic stem cells through multiple mechanisms

Project description:Polycomb complexes are essential regulators of stem cell identity, yet very little is known about their molecular mechanisms during cell differentiation. Pcgf proteins (Pcgf1/2/3/4/5/6) are core subunits of the Polycomb repressive complex 1 (PRC1). It has been recently proposed that specific Pcgf proteins are associated to particular PRC1 complexes, yet the molecular and biological functions of different Pcgf proteins remains largely elusive. Using specific differentiation protocols, we have elucidated a role for Pcgf2/Mel18 in specifically regulating mesoderm differentiation. Mechanistically, during early cardiac mesoderm differentiation, Pcgf2/Mel18 functions as a classical Polycomb protein by repressing pluripotency, lineage specification, late cardiac differentiation and negative regulators of the BMP pathway, yet Pcgf2/Mel18 also positively regulates the expression of key mesoderm transcription factors, revealing a novel function of Pcgf2/Mel18 in gene activation during cardiac differentiation. Mel18 depletion results in an unbalance of pathways that positively and negatively regulate cardiac differentiation. We propose that Mel18 is a novel epigenetic factor that controls mesoderm differentiation by opposing molecular mechanisms. List of ChIPseq samples: Mel18 in ESCs and MES, Ring1b, RYBP and Cbx2 in MES, IgG in MESs. List of RNAseq experiments: Mel18 KD, Ring1b KO and CTR in ESCs, Mel18 KD and CTR in MES, Mel18 KD and CTR in CMs.
