Transcriptional shut-off of MAP kinase signaling enables pluripotency maintenance during diapause [PRO-seq]

ABSTRACT: Exposure of unicellular or multicellular organisms to adverse environmental conditions, including nutrient deprivation, may induce a state of suspended animation or diapause. We here report that broad repression of RNA Pol II-driven gene expression by inhibiting the BET family's bromodomain-containing proteins (BET) triggers diapause in mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells. The diapause ES cells upregulate a functionally linked group of genes encoding negative regulators of MAP kinase signaling (NRMKS), which play a crucial role in ES cell differentiation. The elevated NRMKS expression is a hallmark of cells exposed to distinct diapause-inducing conditions, including mTOR inhibition, and are required for the pluripotency maintenance during diapause. Mechanistically, inhibition of mTORC1/2 leads to rapid decline of the Capicua transcriptional repressor (CIC) at the NRMKS gene promoters, followed by rapid transcriptional NRMKS gene upregulation. The mTOR and BET-dependent transcriptional switch supporting the undifferentiated state of the diapause ES cells suggests a broader usage of this mechanism in maintaining the undifferentiated state of metabolically dormant stem- or stem-like cells in different tissues.

mTor inhibition induces a paused pluripotent state

Project description:Cultured pluripotent stem cells are a cornerstone of regenerative medicine due to their ability to give rise to all cell types of the body. While pluripotent stem cells can be propagated indefinitely in vitro, pluripotency is paradoxically a very transient state in vivo, lasting 2-3 days around the time of blastocyst implantation. The exception to this rule is embryonic diapause, a reversible state of suspended development triggered by unfavorable conditions. Diapause is a strategy widely employed across the animal kingdom, including in mammals, but its regulation remains poorly understood. Here we report that inhibition of mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTor), a major nutrient sensor and promoter of growth, induces reversible pausing of mouse blastocyst development and allows their prolonged culture ex vivo. Paused blastocysts remain pluripotent and competent to give rise to embryonic stem (ES) cells and mice. We show that both natural diapause blastocysts in vivo and paused blastocysts ex vivo display pronounced reductions in mTor activity, translation and transcription. In addition, pausing can be induced directly in cultured ES cells and sustained for weeks in the absence of cell death or deviations from cell cycle distributions. We show that paused ES cells remain pluripotent, display a remarkable global suppression of transcription, and maintain a gene expression signature of diapaused blastocysts. These results allow for the first time the sustained suspension of development of a mammalian embryo in the laboratory, and shed light on the regulation of diapause and the origins of ES cells. Our findings have important implications in the fields of assisted reproduction, regenerative medicine, cancer, metabolic disorders and aging.

A single cell altas of mouse embryonic diapause and peri-implantation development

Project description:Here, we molecularly defined embryonic diapause at single-cell resolution, revealing hidden transcriptional dynamics while seemingly the embryo resides in a state of suspended animation. Alongside, we found that the dormant pluripotent cells are “aware” of their microenvironment which sustains their viability via Yap-mediated mechanotransduction.

Tracking the embryonic stem cell transition from ground state pluripotency

Project description:Mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells are locked into self-renewal by shielding from inductive cues. Release from this ground state in minimal conditions offers a system for delineating developmental progression from naive pluripotency. Here we examined the initial transition process. The ES cell population behaves asynchronously. We therefore exploited a short-half-life Rex1::GFP reporter to isolate cells either side of exit from naive status. Differentiation of Rex1-GFPd2 ES cells was initiated by withdrawing 2i (Kalkan et al., 2016). Undifferentiated 2i-cells and post-2i withdrawal differentiating populations (16h, 25h-Rex1-High, 25h-Rex1-Low) were subjected to proteomic analysis by Mass Spectrometry.

Metabolic control over mTOR dependent diapause-like state

Project description:Regulation of embryonic diapause, dormancy that interrupts the tight connection between develop- mental stage and time, is still poorly understood. Here, we characterize the transcriptional and metabolite profiles of mouse diapause embryos and identify unique gene expression and metabolic signatures with activated lipolysis, glycolysis, and metabolic pathways regulated by AMPK. Lipolysis is increased due to mTORC2 repression, increasing fatty acids to support cell survival. We further show that starvation in pre-implantation ICM-derived mouse ESCs induces a reversible dormant state, transcriptionally mimicking the in vivo diapause stage. During starvation, Lkb1, an upstream kinase of AMPK, represses mTOR, which induces a revers- ible glycolytic and epigenetically H4K16Ac-negative, diapause-like state. Diapause furthermore activates expression of glutamine transporters SLC38A1/2. We show by genetic and small molecule inhibitors that glutamine transporters are essential for the H4K16Ac-negative, diapause state. These data sug- gest that mTORC1/2 inhibition, regulated by amino acid levels, is causal for diapause metabolism and epigenetic state.

Metabolic enhancement of developmental pausing (embryos)

Project description:Embryonic stem (ES) cells and embryos reversibly pause via chemical mTOR inhibition. In this study, we investigate the tissue-specific response to mTORi-induced pausing in ES and trophoblast stem (TS) cells. To resolve the sequential rewiring of the proteome, we conducted a time-series proteomics experiment at 1, 3, 6, 12, 24, and 48 hours upon induction of pausing, and at 1, 3, 6, 12, 24, and 48 hours upon release of pausing in ES and TS cells. We find that ES, but not TS cells pause reversibly. To optimise developmental pausing conditions, we reasoned that by understanding the difference in pausing response of ES and TS cells, we could identify which pathways are essential for pausing. We found that KEGG pathways related to amino acid degradation, fatty acid degradation, and DNA repair are upregulated in ES cells, but downregulated in TS cells during entry into pausing. Moreover, by targeted metabolomics, we found a depletion of short chain carnitines in the paused ES cells. To extend the length of developmental pausing, we supplemented paused embryos with L-carnitine. The L-carnitine supplementation facilitates lipid usage and prolongs the pausing length by 19 days through the establishment of a more dormant state.
