B-catenin Signaling Dynamics Regulate Cell Fate in Differentiating Neural Stem Cells

ABSTRACT: Stem cells undergo differentiation in complex and dynamic environments wherein instructive signals fluctuate on various timescales. Thus, cells must be equipped to properly respond to the timing of signals, for example to distinguish sustained signaling from transient noise. However, how stem cells respond to dynamic variations in differentiation cues is not well characterized. Here, we use optogenetic activation of b-catenin signaling to probe the dynamic responses of differentiating adult neural stem cells (NSCs). We discover that while elevated, sustained b-catenin activation sequentially promotes proliferation and differentiation, transient b-catenin induces apoptosis. Genetic perturbations revealed that the neurogenic/apoptotic fate-switch was mediated through cell cycle regulation by Growth Arrest and DNA Damage 45 gamma (Gadd45g). Our results thus reveal a role for b-catenin dynamics in NSC fate decisions and may suggest a novel role for signal timing to minimize cell fate errors, analogous to kinetic proofreading of stem cell differentiation.

Forkhead Box B1 regulates the differentiation timing and neurogenic potential of human neural crest cells [ChIP-Seq]

Project description:Human neural crest cell development progresses via a pre-neural border (pNB) cell state that precedes the induction of the neurectoderm and the neural border. Here, we identify a set of pNB gene candidates, including forkhead box B1 (FOXB1), and their associated enhancers, that are rapidly activated by β-catenin-mediated signaling during human embryonic stem (ES) cell differentiation towards neural crest cells. FOXB1 simultaneously maintains neuroectoderm competency and controls the timing of differentiating ES cells to acquire neural crest fate by directly targeting key neural crest and neural progenitor loci in a context-dependent manner. Notably, the transient expression of FOXB1 in pre-neural crest cells also establishes autonomic neurogenic potential in mature neural crest cells, likely via its regulation of the expression of ASCL1, a master regulator of autonomic neurons. Altogether, our data implicates pNB cell state as the missing link bridging the exit of pluripotency to the acquisition of neural crest fate and its diverse ecto-mesenchymal differentiation potentials.

Thymine DNA glycosylase (TDG) regulates cell cycle–driven p53 transcriptional control in pluripotent cells

Project description:Cell cycle progression is linked to transcriptome dynamics and variations in the response of pluripotent cells to differentiation cues, through mostly unknown determinants. Here, we characterized the cell cycle–associated transcriptome and proteome of mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs) in naïve ground state. We found that the thymine DNA glycosylase (TDG) is a cell cycle–regulated co-factor of the tumour suppressor p53. Further, TDG and p53 co-bind ESC-specific cis-regulatory elements and thereby control transcription of p53-dependent genes during self-renewal. We determined that the dynamic expression of TDG is required to promote the cell cycle–associated transcriptional heterogeneity. Moreover, we demonstrated that transient depletion of TDG influences cell fate decisions during the early differentiation of mESCs. Our findings reveal an unanticipated role of TDG in promoting molecular heterogeneity during the cell cycle, and highlight the central role of protein dynamics for the temporal control of cell fate during development.

Modeling signaling-dependent pluripotent cell states with boolean logic can predict cell fate transitions [II]

Project description:Pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) exist in multiple stable states, each with specific cellular properties and molecular signatures. The process by which pluripotency is either maintained or destabilized to initiate specific developmental programs is poorly understood. We have developed a model to predict stabilized PSC gene regulatory network (GRN) states in response to combinations of input signals. While previous attempts to model PSC fate have been limited to static cell compositions, our approach enables simulations of dynamic heterogeneity by combining an Asynchronous Boolean Simulation (ABS) strategy with simulated single cell fate transitions using a Strongly Connected Components (SCCs). This computational framework was applied to a reverse-engineered and curated core GRN for mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs) to simulate responses to LIF, Wnt/β-catenin, FGF/ERK, BMP4, and Activin A/Nodal pathway activation. For these input signals, our simulations exhibit strong predictive power for gene expression patterns, cell population composition, and nodes controlling cell fate transitions. The model predictions extend into early PSC differentiation, demonstrating, for example, that a Cdx2-high/Oct4-low state can be efficiently generated from mESCs residing in a naïve and signal-receptive state sustained by combinations of signaling activators and inhibitors.

Activating transcription factors Atf3/4 drive early molecular events during neural stem cell differentiation and control neuron formation [RNA-seq]

Project description:The generation of new neurons from neural stem cells is tightly controlled by transcriptional programs. To induce cell fate switches that establish neuronal identities, differentiating neural precursor cells (NPCs) must undergo rapid and dynamic gene expression changes. However, the neuronal fate-determining molecular events that precede NPC differentiation are incompletely understood. Using high temporal resolution transcriptional profiling of adult hippocampal NPC differentiation, we here identified the activating transcription factors Atf3 and Atf4 as early switch regulators that drive NPC fate and control neuron formation. We found that Atf3/4 are rapidly upregulated in NPCs upon induction of differentiation and drive dynamic gene expression changes associated with neurogenesis. Pharmacological and genetic perturbation of Atf4 demonstrated its importance for neuron formation. Sustained overexpression of Atf3 hampered neurogenesis by repressing long non-coding RNA Miat. Our results demonstrate the critical role of an Atf3/Atf4-controlled transcriptional network in driving early molecular events during neurogenesis.
