Probing the signaling requirements for naïve human pluripotency by high-throughput chemical screening [WGBS]

ABSTRACT: Background: Naïve human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) have been isolated that more closely resemble the pre-implantation epiblast compared to conventional “primed” hESCs, but the signaling principles underlying these discrete stem cell states remain incompletely understood. Methods:Here we performed high-throughput screening using a library of >3,000 well-annotated compounds to identify essential signaling requirements for naïve human pluripotency. Results:We report that MEK1/2 inhibitors can be replaced during maintenance of naïve human pluripotency by inhibitors targeting either upstream (FGFR, RAF1) or downstream (ERK1/2) kinases. Naïve hESCs maintained under these alternative conditions display elevated levels of ERK phosphorylation but retain genome-wide DNA hypomethylation and a transcriptional identity of the pre-implantation epiblast. In contrast, dual inhibition of MEK and ERK promotes efficient primed-to-naïve resetting in combination with PKC, ROCK, and TNKS inhibitors and Activin A. Conclusions: This work demonstrates that induction and maintenance of naïve human pluripotency are governed by distinct signaling requirements.

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.

PRODH regultes naive pluripotency by influencing mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation (Untargeted metabolomics)

Project description:Naïve human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) that resemble the pre-implantation epiblasts are fueled by a combination of aerobic glycolysis and oxidative phosphorylation, but their mitochondrial regulators are poorly understood. Here we report that, proline dehydrogenase (PRODH), a mitochondria-localized proline metabolism enzyme, is dramatically upregulated in naïve hESCs compared to their primed counterparts. The upregulation of PRODH is induced by a reduction in c-Myc expression that is dependent on PD0325901, a MEK inhibitor routinely present in naive hESC culture media. PRODH knockdown in naive hESCs significantly promoted mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation (mtOXPHOS) and reactive oxygen species (ROS) production that triggered autophagy, DNA damage, and apoptosis. Remarkably, MitoQ, a mitochondria-targeted antioxidant, effectively restored the pluripotency and proliferation of PRODH-knockdown naïve hESCs, indicating that PRODH maintains naïve pluripotency by preventing excessive ROS production. Concomitantly, PRODH knockdown significantly slowed down the proteolytic degradation of multiple key mitochondrial electron transport chain complex proteins. Thus, we revealed a crucial role of PRODH in limiting mtOXPHOS and ROS production, and thereby safeguarding naïve pluripotency of hESCs.

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.

The functional role of OGDH for maintaining mitochondrial respiration and identity of primed human embryonic stem cells

Project description:Human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) can self-renew infinitely or differentiate into the 3 germ layer lineages in vitro with certain cues, holding great promise to model early human embryo development ex vivo. It is wildly accepted that hESCs take advantage of both glycolysis and mitochondrial respiration to favor the naïve pluripotency, while prefer glycolysis to support the primed pluripotency. Thus, the function of mitochondrial respiration in primed hESCs has been underestimated for a long time, and has not been fully understood yet. Herein, we report that the adenosine triphosphate (ATP) production rate is comparable between mitochondrial respiration and glycolysis, suggesting that mitoATP may serve as one of the major sources of the ATP pool in primed hESCs. To further reveal the function of mitochondrial respiration, we deployed inducible CRISPRi method to inhibit OGDH expression with high efficiency, resulting in the TCA cycle blockade as well as the diminishment of mitochondrial respiration activity and total ATP level. Of note, OGDH deficiency led to the exit of primed pluripotency accompanied by cell death. Furthermore, the treatment with small molecule inhibitors to block electron transport chain (ETC) can phenocopy the loss-of-function of OGDH in hESCs. Therefore, genetic and pharmacological perturbations on mitochondrial respiration can impair the stemness of primed hESCs. Collectively, the current study unveils that OGDH acts as a key regulator to fine-tune the abundance of TCA cycle metabolites to ensure the mitochondrial respiration activity in primed hESCs, and highlights the pivotal roles of mitochondrial respiration in terms of ATP production and the maintenance of primed pluripotency. Our findings may provide insights into the linkage between pluripotent states and energy metabolism in hESCs.

Reduced MEK inhibition confers a growth advantage and reduces genomic instability in naïve human ES cells (RNA-seq data set)

Project description:Human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) can be captured in either a primed state resembling the post-implantation epiblast or in a naïve state resembling the pre-implantation epiblast. Naïve culture conditions allow study of pre-implantation development ex vivo but reportedly lead to chromosomal abnormalities, compromising their utility in research and potential therapeutic applications. Although MEK inhibition is essential for the naïve state, here we show that reduced MEK inhibition facilitates the establishment and maintenance of naïve hESCs that retain naïve-specific transcriptional and DNA methylation patterns yet accrue fewer chromosomal abnormalities. We further show that hESCs cultured under these modified conditions are less prone to apoptosis and proliferate more rapidly. Our results point to the importance of residual MAPK signaling and provide a simple modification to current protocols to enable robust growth and genomic stability in naïve hESCs.

Multi-Omic Profiling Reveals Dynamics of the Phased Progression of Pluripotency

Project description:Pluripotency is highly dynamic and progresses through a continuum of pluripotent stem-cell states. The two states that bookend the pluripotency continuum, naïve and primed, are well characterized, but our understanding of the intermediate states and transitions between them remain incomplete. Here, we dissect the dynamics of pluripotent state transitions underlying pre- to post-implantation epiblast differentiation. Through comprehensive mapping of the proteome, phosphoproteome, transcriptome, and epigenome of embryonic stem cells transitioning from naïve to primed pluripotency, we find that rapid, acute, and widespread changes to the phosphoproteome precede ordered changes to the epigenome, transcriptome, and proteome. Reconstruction of kinase-substrate networks reveals signaling cascades, dynamics, and crosstalk. Distinct waves of global proteomic changes mark discrete phases of pluripotency, with cell state-specific surface markers tracking pluripotent state transitions. Our data provide new insights into the multi-layered control of the phased progression of pluripotency and a foundation for modeling mechanisms regulating pluripotent state transitions (www.stemcellatlasorg).

De novo formation of apical-basal polarity by Rap1 regulates epiblast patterning

Project description:The epiblast is the first cell type that forms apical-basal polarity de novo as the mouse embryo implants into the maternal uterus, while the extraembryonic neighbours of the epiblast - trophectoderm and primitive endoderm - retain their pre-established polarity beyond implantation [1]; however, it is still unclear how the epiblast establishes apical-basal polarity de novo. Here, we focused on Rap1 signaling pathway, which is activated during the transition of the epiblast from the naïve to primed state of pluripotency during implantation [2]. Through the preestablished in vitro three-dimensional culture system [3], genetic knockouts and proximity-biotinylation analyses, we found that Rap1 integrates multiple signals that contribute to de novo formation of apical-basal polarity. Importantly, formation of apical-basal polarity in the epiblast is essential for its correct patterning and proper communication with the extraembryonic lineages. Altogether, these results not only dissect molecular details of de novo apical-basal polarity formation, but also have broader implications for epithelial polarity and development.
