FoxO transcription factors actuate the formative pluripotency specific gene expression programme [RNA-Seq]

ABSTRACT: Naïve pluripotency is sustained by a self-reinforcing gene regulatory network (GRN) comprising core and naïve pluripotency-specific transcription factors (TFs). Upon exiting naïve pluripotency, ES cells transition through a formative post-implantation-like pluripotent state. However, the mechanisms underlying disengagement from the naïve GRN and initiation of the formative GRN remain unclear. Here, we demonstrate that phosphorylated AKT acts as a gatekeeper that prevents nuclear localization of FoxO TFs in naïve ESCs. PTEN-mediated reduction of AKT activity allows nuclear entry by FoxO TFs, enforcing a cell fate transition by binding and activating formative pluripotency-specific enhancers. Indeed, FoxO TFs are necessary and sufficient for transition from the naïve to the formative pluripotent state. Our work uncovers a pivotal role for FoxO TFs and AKT signalling in mechanisms underlying the exit from naïve pluripotency, a critical early embryonic cell fate transition.

Cnot8 Eliminates Naïve Regulation Networks and Is Essential for Naïve-to-Formative Pluripotency Transition [scRNA-Seq]

Project description:The transition of mammalian early epiblast at different phases is characterized by the differences of pluripotent states and developmental potential, involving extensive transcriptome changes. However, the role of post-transcriptional RNA degradation modulation in cell fate transition remains largely unexplored. Here, we report that deadenylase Cnot8 of Ccr4-Not complex specifically plays a role in naïve-to-formative transition of pluripotent stem cells (PSCs). Disruption of Cnot8 results in early embryonic lethality, accompanying with the increased expression levels of naïve transcription factors in mouse epiblasts. Cnot8 depletion leads to accumulated expression abundances and increased poly(A) tail lengths of massive transcripts including mRNAs of naïve regulation networks, impairing the naïve-to-formative pluripotency conversion. Mechanistically, Cnot8 interacts with Tob1 and Pabpc1 to guarantee the prompt mRNA deadenylation and degradation of naïve regulation networks at specific time. Together, these findings delineate the mechanism underlying PSC fate transition through global degradation of mRNAs for naïve regulation networks by Cnot8.

Cooperative genetic networks drive embryonic stem cell transition from naïve to formative pluripotency

Project description:In the mammalian embryo, epiblast cells must exit the naïve state and acquire formative pluripotency. This cell state transition is recapitulated by mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs), which undergo pluripotency progression in defined conditions in vitro. However, our understanding of the molecular cascades and gene networks involved in the exit from naïve pluripotency remains fragmentary. Here, we employed a combination of genetic screens in haploid ESCs, CRISPR/Cas9 gene disruption, large-scale transcriptomics and computational systems biology to delineate the regulatory circuits governing naïve state exit. Transcriptome profiles for 73 ESC lines deficient for regulators of the exit from naïve pluripotency predominantly manifest delays on the trajectory from naïve to formative epiblast. We find that gene networks operative in ESCs are also active during transition from pre- to post-implantation epiblast in utero. We identified 496 naïve state-associated genes tightly connected to the in vivo epiblast state transition and largely conserved in primate embryos. Integrated analysis of mutant transcriptomes revealed funnelling of multiple gene activities into discrete regulatory modules. Finally, we delineate how intersections with signalling pathways direct this pivotal mammalian cell state transition.

The transcription factor Oct6 promotes the dissolution of the naïve pluripotent state by repressing Nanog and activating a formative state gene regulatory network.

Project description:Animal development is controlled by large gene regulatory networks (GRNs) that govern the nearly irreversible changes that occur when a cell differentiates into another cell type. In this work we aimed to determine key transcription factors (TFs) associated with the dissolution of the naïve pluripotent state and the acquisition of a formative identity. We identified Oct6 as one of the earliest TFs induced during the onset of mouse embryonic stem cell (mESCs) differentiation. By generating an Oct6 knockout mESC cell line, we show that it failed to acquire the typical cell morphology associated with the formative state. Transcriptome analysis of these differentiating cells allowed for the identification of nearly 300 differentially expressed genes compared to wild-type cells. Among these were the pluripotency TFs Nanog, Klf2, Nr5a2, Prdm14, and Esrrb, that failed to correctly downregulate. Premature expression of Oct6 in naïve cells induced a rapid morphological transformation that resembled the one observed in differentiating cells. In these conditions, Oct6 induced its own expression as well as that of other TFs such as Sox3, Zic2/3, Foxp1, and formative genes like Dnmt3A and FGF5. Strikingly, Oct6 also repressed the expression of the key pluripotency TF Nanog. Gene expression and single molecule RNA-FISH analysis of Nanog confirmed that this regulation was at the transcriptional level. In summary, our results indicate that Oct6 is a key TF in the dissolution of the pluripotent state. Moreover, they support a model where Oct6 and Nanog form a double negative feedback loop which could act as a toggle switch important for the transition to the formative state.

Formative transition of human naïve pluripotent stem cells

Project description:Human naïve pluripotent stem cells (PSC) share features with pre-implantation epiblast. They thus provide an unmatched opportunity for characterising the developmental programme of pluripotency in Homo sapiens. Here we confirm that naïve PSC do not respond directly to germ layer induction, but must first acquire competence. Capacitation for multi-lineage differentiation occurs without exogenous growth factor stimulation and is facilitated by inhibition of Wnt signalling. Whole transcriptome profiling during this formative transition highlights dynamic changes in gene expression, affecting many cellular properties, including metabolism and epithelialisation. Notably, naïve pluripotency factors are exchanged for post-implantation factors, but competent cells remain devoid of lineage primed transcription. The gradual pace of transition for human naïve PSC is consistent with the timespan of primate development from blastocyst to gastrulation. Transcriptome trajectory during in vitro capacitation of human naïve cells tracks the progression of epiblast during embryogenesis in Macaca fascicularis, but shows greater divergence from mouse development. Thus the formative transition of naïve PSC in a simple culture system may recapitulate essential and specific features of pluripotency dynamics during an inaccessible period of human embryogenesis.

A DGCR8/FLII-dominated on-off switch for immediate-early genes governs embryo implantation in mouse and human [RNA-seq]

Project description:As an essential checkpoint for successful pregnancy, mammalian embryo implantation initiates fetal-maternal communication. However, the underlying transcriptional regulation governing such a fast transition is still unknown. Here, we identify a DGCR8/FLII-dominated on-off switch for immediate-early genes (IEGs) governing pluripotency transition and morphogenesis of epiblasts upon embryo implantation. In mouse naïve embryonic stem cells (mESCs), we find the Microprocessor component DGCR8, but not DROSHA, can recognize mRNA stem-loop structures and further interact with and occupy transcriptional activator FLII to directly suppress transcription of non-miRNA target genes. Interestingly, when mESCs exit from naïve pluripotency, ERK signaling is quickly activated to induce FLII phosphorylation and disrupt DGCR8/FLII interaction. Phosphorylated FLII then binds to AP1, a typical IEG, to mediate the transcriptional activation of cell migration-related genes to establish poised pluripotency. Re-occupation of FLII by DGCR8 drives poised ESCs into formative pluripotency. Disruption of the DGCR8/FLII-mediated transcriptional activation inhibits the naïve-poised-formative ESC transition and the corresponding embryonic morphogenesis during implanting period, which is conserved in mouse and human.
