Project description:Mouse ESCs and EpiSCs represent naive and primed states of plurioptency corresponding to two consecutive stages of embryo development. Here we map their chromatin accessibility landscapes and show that naive specific open chromatin are enriched with motifs for Oct/Sox/Klf/TCF and primed one with AP1 motifs. The AP1 founding member c-Jun is expressed in EpiSCs and occupies both open and closed chromatin. Yet, c-Jun deficiency has no impact on the self renewal nor the transcription program of EpiSCs. However, in a Klf4-driven reprogramming system, we show that c-Jun-/- EpiSCs undergo primed to naive transition more efficiently than wild type cells and Klf4 evicts c-JUN from wild type chromatin. These results suggest that c-Jun is a pioneer factor not to regulate transcription but to prevent backward reprogramming during naive-primed transition, thus providing a molecular basis for the forward principle in development.

Project description:During development, human primordial germ cells (hPGCs) transition through a transcriptional and epigenetic state similar to pre-implantation epiblast cells called naive ground-state pluripotency. Diagnostic transcription factors that define this state include TFAP2C, KLF4, and TFCP2L1, with TFAP2C necessary for both establishment of the naive-like state in hPGC-like cells (hPGCLCs) as well as establishment and self-renewal of naive human embryonic stem cells (hESCs). Here, we show that KLF4 and TFCP2L1 are not required for hPGC specification or establishment of the naive-like state in hPGCLCs. Instead, KLF4 and TFCP2L1 are each required for reversion of primed hESCs to the self-renewing naive ground state. Additionally, TFCP2L1 but not KLF4 function after hPGC specification in the proliferation of the hPGCLC population.

Project description:Human pluripotent stem cells have two major pluripotent states, primed and naive, and the heterogeneity among cell lines in each pluripotent state remains a major unresolved problem. We showed that the overexpression of H1FOO-DD, which has a short expression period by fusing the destabilized domain to the maternal-specific linker histone H1FOO, together with OCT4, SOX2, KLF4 and LMYC in human somatic cells improves the quality of reprogramming to primed and naive pluripotency.

Project description:c-JUN is a transcription factor and the founding member of AP1 family. Here we present evidence that c-JUN stabilizes chromatin architecture. We first show that c-JUN is expressed and occupies chromatin loci both open and closed in primed mEpiSCs, but not naive mESCs. Interestingly, naive open loci undergo closing during naive to primed transition independent of c-JUN, but ~2500 of them become occupied by c-JUN immediately. These loci then open more readily during the reverse primed to naive transition (PNT) in the presence of c-JUN N-terminal Kinase inhibitor or by ectopically expressed Esrrb and Klf4 as both bind to them. Finally, we show that these loci become more open in c-Jun-/- EpiSCs which undergo PNT more efficiently than wild type cells. These results suggest that c-Jun is activated during naive to primed transition to stabilize chromatin architecture.
