Project description:We report the application of single-cell ATAC-seq to reconstruct the epigenetic program and identify key transcription factors and cis-regulatory elements associated with the epithelial and mesenchymal heterogeneity and G9a inhibition in cultured male germline stem cells (GSCs). First, we identified epithelial-like and mesenchymal-like clusters in the sample. Pseudotime trajectory also indicated that GSCs could undergo EMT-like process with unique regulators in different stages. Lastly, we showed that G9a inhibition could suppress the EMT-like process in GSCs.

Project description:Mouse and human stem cells with features similar to those of embryonic stem cells have been derived from testicular cells. Although pluripotent stem cells have been obtained from defined germline stem cells (GSCs) of mouse neonatal testis, only multipotent stem cells have been obtained so far from defined cells of mouse adult testis. In this study we describe a robust and reproducible protocol for obtaining germline-derived pluripotent stem (gPS) cells from adult unipotent GSCs. Pluripotency of gPS cells was confirmed by in vitro and in vivo differentiation, including germ cell contribution and transmission. As determined by clonal analyses gPS cells indeed originate from unipotent GSCs. We propose that the conversion process requires a GSC culture microenvironment that depends on the initial number of plated GSCs and the length of culture time. Nine samples were analyzed.

Project description:The objective of this study was to reprogram peripheral blood-derived late-endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) to a pluripotent state under feeder-free and defined culture conditions. Late-EPCs were retrovirally-transduced with OCT4, SOX2, KLF4, c-MYC, and iPSC colonies were derived in feeder-free and defined media conditions. EPC-iPSCs expressed pluripotent markers, were capable of differentiating to cells from all three germ-layers, and retained a normal karyotype. Transcriptome analyses demonstrated that EPC-iPSCs exhibit a global gene expression profile similar to human embryonic stem cells (hESCs). We have generated iPSCs from late-EPCs under feeder-free conditions. Thus, peripheral blood-derived late-outgrowth EPCs represent an alternative cell source for generating iPSCs.

Project description:Naïve mouse ESCs exhibit full term developmental competence thus hold great potential in regenerative medicine. Maintaining genome stability is essential for potential application of ESCs in stem cell therapy. While ESC potency fluctuate with retrovirus activity, it is unclear whether long-term cultures affect retrotransposition and genomic stability. We compared retrotransposons in naïve ESCs using various approaches. We show that feeder-serum based culture conditions and small molecule LCDM maintain appropriate expression of retrovirus activity following long-term cultures, whereas cultures under 2iLif and a2i result in aberrant upregulation of retrotransposons. This leads to high frequent retrotransposition. Moreover, naïve ESCs on feeder-serum based culture conditions and small molecule LCDM still generate complete ESC pups by TEC assay, functional test of pluripotency, following long-term cultures, despite that all culture conditions maintain high expression levels of pluripotent genes such as Oct4, Nanog, Klf4 and Sox2. Meanwhile, long telomeres are maintained in ESCs under cultures in Feeder-serum and LCDM conditions but telomeres shortened in other conditions with increasing passages. These data provide insights into retrotransposition, genomic stability and pluripotency of naïve ESCs.

Project description:Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) have been generated from various somatic cells under feeder-layer conditions. These feeder-derived iPSCs generated in different labs exhibit greater variability than between different traditional embryo derived hESC lines. For that reason, it is important to develop a standard and defined system for deriving autologous patient stem cells. We have generated iPSCs under feeder-free conditions using Matrigel coated vessels in chemically defined medium, mTeSR1. These feeder-free derived iPSCs are in many ways similar to feeder-derived iPSCs and also to hESCs, with respect to their pluripotent gene expression (OCT4, NANOG, SOX2), protein expression (OCT4, NANOG, SSEA4, TRA160) and differentiation capabilities. We conducted a whole genomic transcript analysis using Affymetrix Human Gene 1.0 ST arrays to elucidate the important differences between traditional feeder-derived iPSCs and feeder-free derived iPSCs. We reveal that feeder-free iPSCs have over-represented terms belonging to DNA replication and cell cycle genes which are lacking in feeder-derived iPSCs. Feeder-free iPSCs are in many aspects more similar to hESCs including; apoptosis, chromatin modification enzymes and mitochondrial energy metabolism. We have also identified potential biomarkers for fully reprogrammed iPSCs (FRZB) and partially reprogrammed iPSCs (POTEG, MX2) based on their expression trends across all cell types. In conclusion, feeder-free derived iPSCs is transcriptomically more similar to hESCs than feeder derived iPSCs, in many biological functions.

Project description:Tri-PyMT cell is a breast tumor cell line established from Tri-PyMT (MMTV-PyMT/fsp1-Cre/Rosa26-RGFP) primary breast tumors. The cells switch from RFP+ to GFP+ during epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT). Differential expressed genes between EMT and non-EMT tumor cells will reveal interesting targets for anti-EMT approaches. Tri-PyMT cells were culture in medium with serum (10%FBS). Cells were treated with or without 4-hydroperoxy-cyclophosphamide (4µM) for 7 days and sorted by flow cytometry into RFP+ and GFP+ subpopulations for RNA extraction and subsequent RNA-Seq analysis.

Project description:The self-renewal and differentiation capacities of human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) make them good sources of cells for cell transplantation therapy, drug development, and studies of cellular differentiation and development. However, the large numbers of cells necessary for many of these applications require extensive expansion of hPSC cultures, a process that has been associated with genetic and epigenetic alterations. We have performed a combinatorial study on both hESCs and hiPSCs to compare the effects of enzymatic vs. mechanical passaging, and feeder-free vs. mouse embryonic fibroblast feeder substrate, to on the genetic and epigenetic stability and the phenotypic characteristics of hPSCs. In extensive experiments in hEScs involving over 100 continuous passages, , we observed that both enzymatic passaging and feeder-free culture were associated with genetic instability, higher cell proliferation, and persistence of OCT4-positive cells in teratomas, with enzymatic passaging having the stronger effect. In all combinations of culture conditions except for mechanical passaging on feeder layers, we noted recurrent deletions in the genomic region containing the tumor suppressor gene TP53, which was associated with decreased mRNA expression of TP53, as well as alterations in the expression of several downstream genes consistent with a decrease in the activity of the TP53 pathway. Among the hESC cultures, we also observedculture-dependent variations in global gene expression and DNA methylation. Verification of the negative effects of enzymatic passaging and feeder-free conditions was performed in hiPSC cultures. Our results highlight the need for careful assessment of effects of culture conditions on cells intended for clinical therapies.
