Characterization of Sox15 binding occupancy and gene expression (RNA-Seq)

ABSTRACT: SOX15 and SOX2 are Sox family transcription factors (TFs) enriched in embryonic stem cells (ESCs). The role of SOX2 in activating gene expression programs essential for stem cell self-renewal and acquisition of pluripotency in somatic cells during reprogramming is well-documented. However, the contribution of SOX15 to these processes is unclear and often presumed redundant with SOX2 because both TFs display similar DNA binding specificity. Here, we show that SOX15 contributes to stem cell maintenance by cooperating with ESC-enriched transcriptional coactivators to ensure optimal expression of pluripotency-associated genes. We demonstrate that SOX15 depletion compromises reprogramming of fibroblasts to pluripotency which cannot be compensated by SOX2. Ectopic expression of SOX15 promotes the reversion of a more restricted, post-implantation pluripotent state back to a pre-implantation, ESC-like identity even though SOX2 is expressed in both cell states. We also uncover a role of SOX15 in lineage specification, by showing that loss of SOX15 leads to defects in commitment of ESCs to neural fates. SOX15 promotes neural differentiation by binding to and activating a previously uncharacterized distal enhancer of a key neurogenic regulator, Hes5. Together, these findings identify a multifaceted role of SOX15 in induction and maintenance of pluripotency and neural differentiation.

mRNA cap methylation in pluripotency and differentiation

Project description:The mRNA cap recruits factors essential for transcript processing and translation initiation. We report that regulated mRNA cap methylation is a feature of embryonic stem cell (ESC) differentiation. Expression of the mRNA cap methyltransferase activating subunit, RAM, is elevated in ESCs resulting in high levels of mRNA cap methylation and expression of Oct4 and Sox2 and other pluripotency-associated factors. During neural differentiation, RAM is suppressed which is required for loss of Oct4 and Sox2 and correct expression of neural markers. Cells were treated with control or RAM siRNA and cytosolic RNA or polysome RNA (actively translated) was sequenced.

Role of Sox2 in preimplantation and postimplantation pluripotency

Project description:Sox2 is a key transcription factor directing embryonic stem cell (ESC) pluripotency. However, the role of SoxB1 proteins in epiblast stem cell (EpiSC) pluripotency is unknown. Here we compare the transcriptomes of pluripotent cells cultured in different conditions that express different levels of Sox2. While highest Sox2 level in ESCs are enriched for naive pluripotency markers, ESCs and EpiSCs expressing the same Sox2 level were transcriptionally distinct. Thus Sox2 levels do not dictate the distinction between ESC and EpiSC states.

Selective influence of Sox2 on POU transcription factor binding in embryonic and neural stem cells

Project description:Embryonic stem cell (ESCs) identity is orchestrated by co-operativity between the transcription factors (TFs) Sox2 and the class V POU-TF, Oct4 at composite Sox/Oct motifs. Neural stem cells (NSCs) lack Oct4 but express Sox2 and class III POU-TFs. This raises the question of how Sox2 interacts with POU-TFs to transcriptionally specify ESCs or NSCs. Here we show that Oct4 alone binds the Sox/Oct motif and the octamer-containing palindromic MORE equally well. Sox2 binding selectively increases the affinity of Oct4 for the Sox/Oct motif. In contrast, Oct6 binds preferentially to the MORE, and is unaffected by Sox2. ChIP-seq in NSCs shows the MORE to be the most enriched motif for class III POU-TFs, with MORE sub-types apparent, but no Sox/Oct motif enrichment. These results suggest that in NSCs, co-operativity between Sox2 and class III POU-TFs may not occur and that POU-TF driven transcription uses predominantly the MORE cis architecture. Thus, distinct interactions between Sox2 and POU-TF subclasses distinguish pluripotent ESCs from multipotent NSCs, providing molecular insight into how Oct4 alone can convert NSCs to pluripotency.

Control of cell identity and early neural fate commitment by the enhancer module of Integrator

Project description:Lineage-specific transcription factors (TFs) operate as master orchestrators of developmental processes by activating select cis-regulatory enhancers and proximal promoters. Direct DNA binding of TFs ultimately drives context-specific recruitment of the basal transcriptional machinery that comprises RNA Polymerase II (RNAPII) and a host of polymerase-associated multiprotein complexes, including the metazoan-specific Integrator complex. Integrator is primarily known to modulate RNAPII processivity and to surveil RNA integrity across coding genes. Here we show an enhancer module of Integrator that directs cell fate specification by promoting epigenetic changes and TF binding at neural enhancers. Depletion of Integrator’s INTS10 upends neural traits and derails cells towards mesenchymal identity. Commissioning of neural enhancers relies on Integrator’s enhancer module, which stabilizes SOX2 binding at chromatin upon exit from pluripotency. We propose Integrator as a functional bridge between enhancers and promoters and a main driver of early development, providing new insight into a growing family of neurodevelopmental syndromes.

A mass spectrometry survey of chromatin-associated proteins in pluripotency and early lineage commitment

Project description:Pluripotent Embryonic Stem Cells (ESCs) can be captured in vitro in different states, ranging from unrestricted ‘naïve’ to more developmentally constrained ‘primed’ pluripotency. Complexes involved in epigenetic regulation and key transcription factors have been shown to be involved in specifying these distinct states. In this study, we use proteomic profiling of the chromatin landscape in naive pluripotent ESCs, Epistem cells (EpiSCs) and early differentiated ESCs to survey the chromatin in naïve and primed pluripotency and during differentiation. We provide a comprehensive overview of epigenetic complexes situated on the chromatin and identify proteins associated with the maintenance and loss of pluripotency. The findings presented here indicate major compositional alterations of epigenetic complexes starting from ESC priming onwards. Our results contribute to the understanding of ESC differentiation and provide a framework for future studies of lineage commitment of ESCs.

Transcriptional responses to Wnt pathway stimulation in mouse embryonic stem cells cultured in serum+LIF condition

Project description:The objective of this study was to identify genes regulated by canonical Wnt signaling in mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs).Canonical Wnt signaling supports the pluripotency of mouse ESCs but also promotes differentiation of early mammalian cell lineages. To explain these paradoxical observations, we explored the gene regulatory networks at play. Canonical Wnt signaling is intertwined with the pluripotency network comprising Nanog, Oct4, and Sox2 in mouse ESCs. In defined media supporting the derivation and propagation of mouse ESCs, Tcf3 and ?-catenin interact with Oct4; Tcf3 binds to Sox motif within Oct-Sox composite motifs that are also bound by Oct4-Sox2 complexes. Further, canonical Wnt signaling up-regulates the activity of the Pou5f1 distal enhancer via the Sox motif in mouse ESCs. When viewed in the context of published studies on Tcf3 and ?-catenin mutants, our findings suggest that Tcf3 counters pluripotency by competition with Sox2 at these sites, and Tcf3 inhibition is blocked by ?-catenin entry into this complex. Wnt pathway stimulation also triggers ?-catenin association at regulatory elements with classic Lef/Tcf motifs associated with differentiation programs. The failure to activate these targets in the presence of a MEK/ERK inhibitor essential for mouse ESC culture suggests that MEK/ERK signaling and canonical Wnt signaling combine to promote mouse ESC differentiation. Triplicates of mouse embryonic stem cells cultured with GSK3 inhibitor CHIR99021 or with Wnt pathway inhibitor XAV939.

Deep proteomic profiling of TE03 (I3) human embryonic stem cells (hESCs)

Project description:The proteome of undifferentiated human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) was profiled by deep mass spectrometry-based proteomics of whole-cell extracts from suspension cultures of TE03 cells, in four biological replicates. This data accompanies the manuscript: "Uncovering the RNA-binding protein landscape in the pluripotency network of human embryonic stem cells". Abstract: "Embryonic stem cell (ESC) self-renewal and cell-fate decisions are driven by a broad array of molecular signals. While transcriptional regulators have been extensively studied in human ESCs (hESCs), the extent to which RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) contribute to human pluripotency remains unclear. Here, we carry out a proteome-wide screen and identify 810 proteins that directly bind RNA in hESCs. We reveal that RBPs are preferentially expressed in hESCs and dynamically regulated during exit from pluripotency and early lineage specification. Moreover, we show that nearly 200 RBPs are affected by knockdown of OCT4, a master regulator of pluripotency, several dozen of which are directly bound by this factor. Intriguingly, over 20 percent of the proteins detected in our study are putative DNA- and RNA-binding proteins (DRBPs), among them key transcription factors (TFs). Using fluorescently labeled RNA and seCLIP (single-end enhanced crosslinking and immunoprecipitation) experiments, we discover that the pluripotency-associated STAT3 and OCT4 TFs interact with RNA in hESCs and confirm the direct binding of STAT3 to the conserved NORAD long-noncoding RNA. Taken together, our findings indicate that RBPs have a more widespread role in human pluripotency than previously appreciated, reinforcing the importance of post-transcriptional regulation in stem cell biology".
