Project description:Hutchinson Gilford Progeria Syndrome (HGPS) is a rare, sporadic genetic disease caused by mutations in the nuclear lamin A gene. In most cases the mutation creates an efficient donor-splice site that generates an altered transcript encoding a truncated lamin A protein, progerin. In vitro studies have indicated that progerin can disrupt nuclear function. HGPS affects mainly mesenchymal lineages but the shortage of patient material has precluded a tissue-wide molecular survey of progerin’s cellular impact. We report here a new, induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-based model for studying HGPS. HGPS dermal fibroblasts were reprogrammed into iPSC lines using a cocktail of the transcription factor genes, OCT4, SOX2, KLF4 and C-MYC. The iPSC cells were differentiated into neural progenitors (NPs), endothelial cells (ECs), fibroblast-like cells and mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). Progerin levels in the different cell types followed the pattern MSC≥ fibroblast>EC>>NP. Functionally, we detected a major impact of progerin on MSC function. We show that HGPS-MSCs are vulnerable to the ischemic conditions found in a murine hind limb recovery model and an in vitro hypoxia assay, as well as showing enhanced sensitivity in a serum starvation assay. Since there is widespread consensus that MSCs reside in low oxygen niches in vivo, we propose that these conditions lead to an accelerated depletion of the MSC pool in HGPS patients with consequent accretion of mesenchymal tissue. Analysis of iPSCs, hESCs and parental fibroblasts at the gene expression level. The comparison analysis in the present study was expected to show the similarity between iPSCs, hESCs and parental fibroblasts. Results provide important information of the differences between iPSCs, hESCs and parental fibroblasts. Total RNA was obtained from different samples (iPSCs, hESCs, and fibroblasts) separately.

Project description:Immunodeficiency, Centromeric Instability, and Facial Anomalies Type I (ICF1) Syndrome is a rare genetic disease caused by mutations in DNMT3B, a de novo DNA methyltransferase. However, the molecular basis of how DNMT3B-deficiency leads to ICF1 pathogenesis is unclear. Induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) technology facilitates the study of early human developmental diseases via facile in vitro paradigms. Here, we generate iPSCs from ICF Type 1 Syndrome patient fibroblasts followed by directed differentiation of ICF1-iPSCs to mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). By performing genome-scale bisulfite sequencing, we find that DNMT3B-deficient iPSCs exhibit global loss of non-CG methylation and select CG hypomethylation at gene promoters and enhancers. Further unbiased scanning of ICF1 iPSC methylomes also identifies large megabase regions of CG hypomethylation typically localized in centromeric and subtelomeric regions. RNA sequencing of ICF1 and control iPSCs reveals abnormal gene expression in ICF1 iPSCs relevant to ICF Syndrome phenotypes, some directly associated with promoter or enhancer hypomethylation. Upon differentiation of ICF1 iPSCs to mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), we find virtually all CG hypomethylated regions remained hypomethylated when compared to either wild-type iPSC-derived MSCs or primary bone-marrow MSCs. Collectively, our results show specific methylome and transcriptome defects in both ICF1-iPSCs and differentiated somatic cell lineages, providing a valuable stem cell system for further in vitro study of the molecular pathogenesis of ICF1 Syndrome.

Project description:Human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) - derived mesenchymal stromal cells (iMSCs) are a potentially useful cell type for circumventing ageing-related shortfalls associated with primary mesenchymal or skeletal stromal cells (MSCs/SSCs). To date, the extent of the reflection of ageing-hallmarks in iMSCs differentiated from iPSCs derived from elderly donors remains unclear. In this study, we show that fetal (55 days post conception) femur-derived MSCs and MSCs isolated from aged (60 – 74 years) donors differ in their transcriptome and secretome profile. Yet, iMSCs irrespective of donor age and cell type acquired a rejuvenation gene signature, specifically, INHBE, DNMT3B, POU5F1P1, CDKN1C, GCNT2; also present in pluripotent stem cells but not observed in the parental MSCs. Furthermore, dendrograms generated from the transcriptomes of iMSCs derived from the human embryonic stem cell line H1, fetal and aged MSCs always clustered together with the parental fetal femur-derived MSCs. In addition, these were distinct from MSCs isolated from aged donors when comparing gene ontologies (GOs) related to ageing processes. Critically, in terms of regenerative medicine applications, iMSCs re-acquired a similar secretome (e.g. SERPINE1, SDF-1a, HGF, IL6, IL10, THBS1) to that of the parental fetal MSCs, thus re-enforcing their capabilities of imparting context dependent paracrine signaling.

Project description:Ability to perform osteogenic differentiation is one of the minimal criteria of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). Still, it is generally unknown whether osteogenic differentiation is universal cell fate or various phenotypically similar cell states. Besides this, MSCs and their secretomes are actively using for cell/cell-free therapy development, but systemic inter-source variation in MSCs secretomes, proteomes and differentiation mechanisms are still poorly understood. Therefore, here we compared proteomic and secretomic profiles of human mesenchymal cells from six sources: osteoblasts (bone), WJ-MSCs (Warton’s jelly), AD-MSCs (adipose), PDLSCs (tooth: Periodontal Ligament Stem Cells), DPSCs (tooth: Dental Pulp Stem Cells) and GFs (tooth: Gingival Fibroblasts). For experiments we used cells in early passages (3-5) isolated from 3-6 individuals. All cells were compared in standard cultivation and in the 10th day after induction of osteogenic differentiation.

Project description:The molecular basis of stromal immunomodulation is still unresolved. Here, we show a novel function for dedicator of cytokinesis 2 (DOCK2) in regulating extra-hematopoietic immune function of three independent stromal cell sources: induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC)-derived mesodermal stromal cell (iPS-MSC), severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) patient-derived fibroblasts and CRISPR/Cas9 knockout cells (iPS-MSCDOCK2KO). We first reprogrammed human mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) into iPSC before differentiating the iPSCs back into MSC. Immature iPS-MSCs lacked immunosuppressive potential. Successive phenotypic maturation facilitated immunomodulatory function, while maintaining clonogenicity, comparable to parental MSCs. Sequential RNA-seq displayed time-dependent immune-related gene expression eventually resembling parental MSCs. SCID patient-derived fibroblasts harboring bi-allelic DOCK2 mutations also showed significantly reduced immunomodulatory capacity compared to non-mutated fibroblasts. CRISPR/Cas9-mediated DOCK2 knockout in healthy iPSCs resulted in significantly reduced immunomodulatory capacity, reduced F-actin stress-fibers, and a disturbed subcellular localization of CDC42 activation. We provide first evidence for extra-hematopoietic immunomodulation by the guanin exchange factor DOCK2. This suggests that persisting immune disease after successful blood stem cell transplantation in SCID patients could in part be due to loss-of-function DOCK2 mutations.

Project description:Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome (RTS) is a rare and severe genetic developmental disorder characterized by multiple congenital anomalies and intellectual disability. CREBBP and EP300, the two genes known to cause RTS encode transcriptional coactivators with a catalytic lysine acetyltransferase (KAT) activity. Loss of CBP or p300 function results in a deficit in protein acetylation, in particular at histones. In RTS, nothing is known on the consequences of the loss of histone acetylation on the transcriptomic profiles during neuronal differentiation. To address this question, we differentiated induced pluripotent stem cells from RTS patients carrying a recurrent CREBBP mutation that inactivates the KAT domain into cortical and pyramidal neurons. By comparing their acetylome and their transcriptome at different neuronal differentiation timepoints, we identified 25 specific acetylated histone residues altered in RTS. We also identified the transition between neural progenitors and immature neurons as a critical step of the differentiation process, with a delayed neuronal maturation in RTS.

Project description:The aim of this research was to determine the impact of heat stress on cell differentiation in an equine stem cell model through the outcome of heat stress on the proteome. Proteomic analysis was performed using mass spectrometry to compare relative protein abundances among three cell types, mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), osteoblasts, and adipocytes, cultured at two temperatures, 37°C and 42°C.
