The role of ESRG in human pluripotency

ABSTRACT: Human pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) express human endogenous retroviruses type-H (HERV-Hs), which exist more than a thousand copies on the human genome and frequently produce chimeric transcripts as long-non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) fused with downstream neighbor genes. Previous studies showed that HERV-H expression is required for the maintenance of PSC identity, and the aberrant HERV-H expression attenuated neural differentiation potentials, but little is known what their roles are. In this study, therefore, we focused on ESRG, which is known as a PSC-related HERV-H-driven lncRNA. The global transcriptome data of various tissues and cell lines and quantitative expression analysis showed that ESRG expression is much higher than other HERV-Hs and tightly silenced after differentiation, letting us hypothesize its crucial role in human pluripotency. However, the loss of function by the complete excision of the entire ESRG gene body using a CRISPR/Cas9 platform revealed that ESRG is dispensable for the maintenance of primed and naïve pluripotent states. The loss of ESRG hardly affects the global gene expression of PSCs and differentiation potentials toward trilineage. Differentiated cells derived from ESRG knockout PSCs retained the potential to be reprogrammed into induced PSC (iPSC) by the forced expression of OCT3/4, SOX2, and KLF4. In conclusion, ESRG is dispensable for the maintenance and the recapturing of human pluripotency.

Association between Activated Loci of HML-2 Primate-Specific Endogenous Retrovirus and Newly Formed Chromatin Contacts in Human Primordial Germ Cell-like Cells

Project description:The pluripotent stem cell (PSC)-derived human primordial germ cell-like cells (PGCLCs) are a cell culture-derived surrogate model of embryonic primordial germ cells. Upon differentiation of PSCs to PGCLCs, multiple loci of HML-2, the hominoid-specific human endogenous retrovirus (HERV), are strongly activated, which is necessary for PSC differentiation to PGCLCs. In PSCs, strongly ac-tivated loci of HERV-H family HERVs create chromatin contacts, which are required for the plu-ripotency. Chromatin contacts in the genome of human PSCs and PGCLCs were determined by Hi-C sequencing, and their locations were compared with those of HML-2 loci strongly activated in PGCLCs but silenced in the precursor naïve iPSCs. In both iPSCs and PGCLCs, the size of chromatin contacts were found to be around one megabase, which corresponds to the Topologically Associ-ated Domains in the human genome but is slightly larger in PGCLCs than iPSCs. The number of small-sized chromatin contacts diminished while numbers of larger-sized contacts increased. The distances between chromatin contacts newly formed in PGCLCs and the degrees of activation of the closest HML-2 loci showed significant inverse correlation. Our study provides evidence that strong activation of HML-2 provirus loci may be associated with newly formed chromatin contacts in their vicinity, potentially contributing to PSC differentiation to the germ cell lineage.

Expression data of iPSCs, CTraS-iPSCs, embryoid bodies, and their derived neurospheres

Project description:Recent studies indicated that the differentiation tendency of pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) was affected by a certain small molecule treatment. We found the combination of small molecules that bringed out the differentiation potentials of PSCs, and defined such state of PSC as CTraS. Then, we used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression reflecting the effect of CTraS, and carefully compared the characteristics of iPSCs, CTraS-iPSCs, embryoid bodies (EBs), and their derived neurospheres (NSs) based on their expression profiles .

Proteomic analysis of small extracellular vesicles derived from human iPSC

Project description:Pluripotent stem cell-derived small extracellular vesicles (PSC-sEVs) have demonstrated great clinical translational potential in multiple aging-related degenerative diseases. Characterizing the PSC-sEVs is crucial for their clinical applications. However, the specific biomarker pattern of PSC-sEVs remains unknown. We displayed proteome analysis and further verification for identification of PSC-sEVs' specific biomarkers. The application of these specific biomarkers for PSC-sEVs identification may advance the clinical translation of PSCs-sEVs.

Vitamin d receptor-mediated stromal reprogramming suppresses pancreatitis and enhances pancreatic cancer therapy

Project description:The poor clinical outcome in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA) has been attributed to intrinsic resistance to chemotherapy and a growth-permissive tumor microenvironment. Quiescent pancreatic stellate cells (PSCs) are neuroendocrine, nestin-positive, lipid-accumulating cells whose homologues in the liver are the principal repository of Vitamin A esters. Upon activation, lipid droplets are lost and via transdifferentiation they become the key cell type responsible for driving the severe desmoplasia that characterizes PDA. Despite their critical role in PDA progression and chemoresistance, therapeutic strategies targeting PSCs are lacking. Here we identified the vitamin D receptor (VDR) as a master genomic regulator of PSC activation and function. In vitro we demonstrate that VDR activation reduces expression in PSCs of genes implicated in activation, inflammation, and extracellular matrix production, as well as restoring lipid droplet integrity. In vivo, the VDR ligand calcipotriol enhances the anti-tumor effects of gemcitabine by increasing intratumoral concentration 5-fold, reducing tumor volume to near baseline and lowering metastases by more than 65%. These findings implicate VDR as a master regulator of PSC activation and identify a novel therapeutic approach for the treatment of pancreatic cancer. RNA-Seq analyses was used to characterize cancer-associated changes between pre-activated (3-day culture) and activated (7-day culture) primary mouse PSCs, as well as control and PDA human PSCs. RNA-Seq was also used to assess the impact of VDR activation (DMSO vs calcipotriol) in a human PSC line (MiaPaCa-2), the mouse primary PSCs

Synaptic Schwann cells: specific labeling reveals unique cellular and molecular features

Project description:Perisynaptic Schwann cells (PSCs) are specialized, non-myelinating, synaptic glia of the neuromuscular junction (NMJ), that participate in synapse development, function, maintenance, and repair. The study of PSCs has relied on an anatomy-based approach, as the identities of cell-specific PSC molecular markers have remained elusive. This limited approach has precluded our ability to isolate and genetically manipulate PSCs in a cell specific manner. We have identified neuron-glia antigen 2 (NG2) as a unique molecular marker of S100β+ PSCs in skeletal muscle. NG2 is expressed in Schwann cells already associated with the NMJ, indicating that it is a marker of differentiated PSCs. Using a newly generated transgenic mouse in which PSCs are specifically labeled, we show that PSCs have a unique molecular signature that includes genes known to play critical roles in PSCs and synapses. These findings will serve as a springboard for revealing drivers of PSC differentiation and function.

Rapid production and genetic stability of human mesenchymal progenitor cells derived from human somatic cell nuclear transfer-derived pluripotent stem cells

Project description:Pluripotent stem cell-derived mesenchymal progenitor cells (PSC-MPCs) are primarily derived through two main methods: 3-dimensional (3D) embryonic body-platform (EB formation) and 2D direct differentiation method. We recently established somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT)-PSC lines and showed their stemness. In the present study, we produced SCNT-PSC-MPCs using a novel direct differentiation method, and the characteristics, gene expression, and genetic stability of these MPCs were compared with those derived through the EB formation method. The recovery and purification of SCNT-PSC-Direct-MPCs were significantly accelerated compared to those of the SCNT-PSC-EB-MPCs, but both types of MPCs expressed typical surface markers and exhibited similar proliferation and differentiation potentials. Additionally, the analysis of gene expression patterns using microarrays showed very similar patterns. Moreover, array CGH analysis showed that both SCNT-PSC-Direct-MPCs and SCNT-PSC-EB-MPCs exhibited no significant differences in copy number variation (CNV) or single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) frequency. These results indicate that SCNT-PSC-Direct-MPCs exhibited high genetic stability even after rapid differentiation into MPCs, and the rate at which directly derived MPCs reached a sufficient number was higher than that of MPCs derived through the EB method. Therefore, we suggest that the direct method of differentiating MPCs from SCNT-PSCs can improve the efficacy of SCNT-PSCs applied to allogeneic transplantation.
