Project description:Induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells have been generated from mouse and human somatic cells by ectopic expression of the four transcription factors (OCT4, SOX2, c-MYC, KLF4). We previously reported that Oct4 alone is sufficient to directly reprogram adult mouse neural stem cells (NSCs) to iPS cells. Here, we report the generation of one-factor (1F) human iPS from human NSCs (1F hNiPS) by ectopic expression of Oct4 alone. 1F hNiPS cells resemble human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) in global gene expression profiles, epigenetic status and pluripotency in vitro and in vivo. These findings demonstrate that the transcription factor OCT4 is sufficient to reprogram human NSCs to pluripotency. 1F iPS cell generation will accelerate this field further towards understanding reprogramming and generating patient-specific pluripotent stem cells. For transcriptome profiling, 400 ng of total DNA-free RNA was used as input for labelled cRNA synthesis (Illumina TotalPrep RNA Amplification Kit - Ambion) following the manufacturer's instructions (IVT: 10h). Quality-checked cRNA samples were hybridized as biological or technical duplicates for 18 h onto HumanRef-8 v3 expression BeadChips (Illumina), washed, stained, and scanned following guidelines and using materials / instrumentation supplied / suggested by the manufacturer. Five sample types were analyzed, each one of them in duplicate. hNSC: human fetal neural stem cells (duplicates); 1F hNiPS: One factor (Oct4) human iPS cells from hNSCs, hand-picked cols (duplicates); 2F hNiPS: Two factors (Oct4,Klf4) human iPS cells from hNSCs, hand-picked cols (duplicates); H9 hESC: H9 human ESCs grown on low-density CF1 MEFs (duplicates); H1 hESC: H1 human ESCs grown on low-density CF1 MEFs (duplicates).

Project description:The four transcription factors Oct4, Sox2, Klf4, and c-Myc can induce pluripotency in mouse and human fibroblasts. We previously described direct reprogramming of adult mouse neural stem cells (NSCs) by Oct4 and either Klf4 or c-Myc. NSCs endogenously express Sox2, c-Myc, and Klf4 as well as several intermediate reprogramming markers. Here we report that exogenous expression of the germline-specific transcription factor Oct4 is sufficient to generate pluripotent stem cells from adult mouse NSCs. These one-factor induced pluripotent stem (1F iPS) cells are similar to embryonic stem cells in vitro and in vivo. Not only can these cells be efficiently differentiated into NSCs, cardiomyocytes and germ cells in vitro, but they are also capable of teratoma formation and germline transmission in vivo. Our results demonstrate that Oct4 is required and sufficient to directly reprogram NSCs to pluripotency.

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: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. Total RNAs were isolated from indicated cells and labeled with Cy3. Hybridization was performed once for each sample.

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.

Project description:Pluripotency, the capacity of embryo-derived stem cells to generate all tissues in the organism, can be induced in somatic cells by nuclear transfer into oocyte, fusion with embryonic stem cells, and for male germ cells by cell culture alone. Recently, murine fibroblasts have been reprogrammed directly to pluripotency by ectopic expression of four transcription factors (Oct4, Sox2, Klf4, and Myc) to yield induced Pluripotent Stem (iPS) cells. Using the same four factors, we have derived iPS cells from human embryonic stem cell-derived fibroblasts, primary human fetal cells, and diverse cells of neonatal and adult human origin. The human iPS cells manifest the colony morphology, gene expression patterns, and epigenetic characteristics of human Embryonic Stem (hES) cells, and form well-differentiated teratomas in immune-deficient mice. These data demonstrate that defined factors can reprogram human cells to pluripotency, and establish a method whereby patient-specific cells might be established in culture.

Abstract:
BACKGROUND: The transcription factor OCT4 is highly expressed in pluripotent embryonic stem cells which are derived from the inner cell mass of mammalian blastocysts. Pluripotency and self renewal are controlled by a transcription regulatory network governed by the transcription factors OCT4, SOX2 and NANOG. Recent studies on reprogramming somatic cells to induced pluripotent stem cells highlight OCT4 as a key regulator of pluripotency.
RESULTS: We have carried out an integrated analysis of high-throughput data (ChIP-on-chip and RNAi experiments along with promoter sequence analysis of putative target genes) and identified a core OCT4 regulatory network in human embryonic stem cells consisting of 33 target genes. Enrichment analysis with these target genes revealed that this integrative analysis increases the functional information content by factors of 1.3 - 4.7 compared to the individual studies. In order to identify potential regulatory co-factors of OCT4, we performed a de novo motif analysis. In addition to known validated OCT4 motifs we obtained binding sites similar to motifs recognized by further regulators of pluripotency and development; e.g. the heterodimer of the transcription factors C-MYC and MAX, a prerequisite for C-MYC transcriptional activity that leads to cell growth and proliferation.
CONCLUSION: Our analysis shows how heterogeneous functional information can be integrated in order to reconstruct gene regulatory networks. As a test case we identified a core OCT4-regulated network that is important for the analysis of stem cell characteristics and cellular differentiation. Functional information is largely enriched using different experimental results. The de novo motif discovery identified well-known regulators closely connected to the OCT4 network as well as potential new regulators of pluripotency and differentiation. These results provide the basis for further targeted functional studies.

Project description:Induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells have been generated from mouse and human somatic cells by ectopic expression of the transcription factors OCT4, SOX2, KLF4, c-MYC as well as NANOG and LIN28. Here we report generation of induced pluripotent stem cells from human umbilical cord blood derived unrestricted somatic stem cells (USSC) using retroviral expression of the transcription factors OCT4, SOX2, KLF4 and C-MYC and evaluation of their molecular signature and differentiation potential in comparison to human embryonic stem cells. The reprogrammed cells (HUiPS) were analysed morphologically, by qRT-PCR, global miRNA and epigenetic profiling and gene expression microarrays, as well as in their in vitro and in vivo differentiation potential by embryoid body formation and teratoma assay. The cord blood iPS cells are highly similar to human embryonic stem cells morphologically, at their molecular signature as well as in their in vitro and in vivo differentiation potential. Human cord blood derived unrestricted somatic stem cells offer an attractive source of cells for the generation of induced pluripotent stem cells. Our findings open novel perspectives to generate HLA matched pluripotent stem cell banks based on existing cord blood banks. Besides its obvious relevance of such a second generation cord blood iPS bank for pharmacological and toxicological testing, its application for autologous or allogenic regenerative cell transplantation appears feasible. For transcriptome profiling, 400 ng of total DNA-free RNA was used as input for labelled cRNA synthesis (Illumina TotalPrep RNA Amplification Kit - Ambion) following the manufacturer's instructions (IVT: 10h). Quality-checked cRNA samples were hybridized as biological or technical duplicates for 18 h onto HumanRef-8 v3 expression BeadChips (Illumina), washed, stained, and scanned following guidelines and using materials / instrumentation supplied / suggested by the manufacturer.
