Dcp1a, a novel Mek substrate, regulates the self-renewal and differentiation of mouse embryonic stem cells

ABSTRACT: Mek inhibitor is widely applied to maintain pluripotency, while prolonged Mek inhibition compromises the developmental potential of mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs). To better understand the mechanism of Mek in pluripotency maintenance, we first demonstrated that Mek regulates gene expression at post-transcriptional steps. Consistently, many of the 66 Mek substrates identified by quantitative phosphoproteomic analysis are involved in RNA processing. We further confirmed that S563 of Dcp1a, a mRNA decapping cofactor and P-body component, is phosphorylated by Mek1. Dcp1a, as well as two other P-body components Edc4 and Dcp2, are required for the proper self-renewal and differentiation of ESCs, indicating the role of P-bodies in ESCs. Dephosphorylation of Dcp1a S563 facilitates both self-renewal and differentiation of ESCs, through promoting P-body formation and RNA storage. In summary, our study identified 66 Mek substrates supporting the Erk-independent function of Mek, and revealed that Dcp1a, phosphorylated by Mek, regulates ESC self-renewal and differentiation, through modulating P-body formation.

A balanced Oct4 protein interaction network is crucial for maintaining pluripotency

Project description:Oct4 is considered a master transcription factor for pluripotent cell self-renewal and embryo development. It primarily collaborates with other transcriptional factors or coregulators to maintain pluripotency. However, it is still unclear how Oct4 interacts with its partners. Here, we show that the Oct4 linker interface mediates competing and balanced Oct4 protein interactions which are crucial for maintaining pluripotency. Linker mutant ESCs maintain the key pluripotency genes expression, but show decreased expression of self-renewal genes and increased expression of differentiation genes which result in impaired ESCs self-renewal and early embryonic lethality. Linker mutation dose not affect Oct4 genomic binding and transactivation potential, but breaks the balanced Oct4 interactome. In mutant ESCs, the interaction between Oct4 and Klf5 was decreased, but interactions between Oct4 and Cbx1, Ctr9, Cdc73 were increased which disrupt the epigenetic state of ESCs. Overexpression of Klf5 or knockdown Cbx1, Cdc73 rescue the cellular phenotype of linker mutant ESCs by rebalancing Oct4 interactome indicating that different partners interact with Oct4 competitively. Thus, by showing how Oct4 interacts with different partners, we provide novel molecular insights to explain how Oct4 contributes to the maintenance of pluripotency.

Regulation of pluripotency and self-renewal of ES cells through epigenetic-threshold modulation and mRNA pruning

Project description:The core pluripotency factors (Oct4, Sox2, and Nanog), the Myc network, and the chromatin-modifying complexes such as PRC2 ensure the pluripotency and self-renewal of ES cells (ESC). How these factors coordinate with one another remains poorly understood. We report that Utf1, a target of Oct4 and Sox2, is a new bivalent chromatin component that buffers poised states of bivalent genes. By limiting PRC2 loading and Histone 3 lysine-27 trimethylation, Utf1 sets proper activation thresholds for bivalent genes. It also promotes nuclear tagging of mRNAs transcribed from insufficiently silenced bivalent genes for cytoplasmic degradation through mRNA de-capping. Whereas these opposing functions of Utf1 allow proper execution of ESC pluripotency, the mRNA pruning function also ensures rapid cell proliferation by blocking the Myc-Arf feedback regulation. Thus, Utf1 is an important regulator that couples the core pluripotency factors with Myc and PRC2 networks to promote proliferation and pluripotency execution of ESCs. First we mapped Utf1 binding sites in ESCs using the biotin-mediated and cross-linked ChIP-sequencing. To investigate how Utf1 might regulate gene expression, we did RNA-seq on WT and Utf1-KO ES cells. Then we did ChIP-seq of Suz12 and H3K27me3 on WT and Utf1-KO ES cells to study whether Utf1 affects PRC2 loading and H3K27me3 modofication, using H3 as control. Finally, we did RNAseq on WT and Dcp1a-KD ES cells to confirm Utf1 repress gene expression by recruiting Dcp1a complex.

DNA-binding pluripotency factors and DNA demethylases can cooperate to maintain pluripotent stem cell identity even in the absence of Brd4 [RNA-seq]

Project description:Histone acetylation and the acetyl-lysine reader Brd4 have recently been implicated in embryonic stem cell (ESC) proliferation and self-renewal. We found that naïve pluripotent ESCs exhibit increased incorporation of glucose-derived carbons onto acetylated histones and elevations in H3K9ac and Brd4 recruitment at pluripotency gene promoters. Surprisingly, both H3K9 acetyltransferases, GCN5 and PCAF, and Brd4 recruitment were dispensable for proliferation, self-renewal and pluripotency of naïve ESCs. Naïve ESCs maintain gene expression by stabilizing Mediator at core pluripotency genes in a Brd4-independent manner. Brd4-independent proliferation could also be achieved in metastable ESCs by overexpression of pluripotency transcription factors. Under all conditions, self-renewal required the DNA methylcytosine oxidases Tet1 and Tet2. These data reveal that there is minimal dependence on Brd4 for self-renewal of naïve ESCs. Instead, the relative levels of DNA methylation and transcription factor abundance determine the requirement for bromodomain recognition of histone acetylation to the maintenance of stem cell identity.

Gene expression analysis of pluripotent and differentiated genes during EB formation treated with streptozotocin, o-glacnacylation inhibitor

Project description:O-linked-N-acetylglucosamine (O-GlcNAc) has emerged as a critical regulator of diverse cellular processes, but its role in embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and pluripotency has not been investigated. Here we show that O-GlcNAcylation directly regulates core components of the pluripotency network. Blocking O-GlcNAcylation disrupts ESC self-renewal and reprogramming of somatic cells to induced pluripotent stem cells. The core reprogramming factors Oct4 and Sox2 are O-GlcNAcylated in ESCs, but the O-GlcNAc modification is rapidly removed upon differentiation. O-GlcNAc modification of Threonine 228 in Oct4 regulates Oct4 transcriptional activity and is important for inducing many pluripotency related genes, including Klf2, Klf5, Nr5a2, Tbx3 and Tcl1. A T228A point mutation that eliminates this O-GlcNAc modification reduces the capacity of Oct4 to maintain ESC self-renewal and reprogram somatic cells. Overall, our study makes a direct connection between O-GlcNAcylation of key regulatory transcription factors and the activity of the pluripotency network. 2 of E14 stem cell, 2 of embryonic body at day 2, 2 of embryonic body at day 2 treated with streptozotocin, 1 of ZHBTc4 stem cell treated with doxicyclin, and 1 of ZHBTc4 stem cell treated with doxicyclin and streptozotocin were analysed

Branched-chain Amino Acid Aminotransferase-1 Regulates Self-Renewal and Pluripotency of Mouse Embryonic Stem Cells through Ras Signaling

Project description:Embryonic stem cells (ESCs) can self-renew indefinitely and have the potential to differentiate into all cell types in the adult organism. Although the developmental plasticity of ESCs is mainly controlled by transcription factors, the intrinsic regulation of this process remains elusive. Here, using whole transcriptome RNA-sequencing analysis, we identified branched-chain amino acid aminotransferase-1 (Bcat1) as highly expressed in mouse ESCs. Further, deletion of the Bcat1 gene was found to impair the pluripotency and self-renewal of mouse ESCs and made cells more inclined to differentiate toward epiblast stem cells. Conversely, overexpression of Bcat1 in mouse ESCs resulted in robust self-renewal and the repression of differentiation. Mechanistically, Bcat1 regulates the expression of RAS protein activator like 1 (Rasal1), leading to activation of Ras-Erk/MAPK signaling axis, which controls the expression of a set of core transcription factors that maintain pluripotency and self-renewal. In summary, we identified for the first time that Bcat1 is essential for mouse ESCs self-renewal and pluripotency and that this effect is mediated by the Ras pathway.

Glycolysis-stimulated Esrrb Lactylation Promotes the Self-renewal and XEN Differentiation of Embryonic Stem Cells

Project description:Embryonic stem cells (ESCs) favor glycolysis over oxidative phosphorylation for energy production, and glycolytic metabolism is critical for pluripotency establishment, maintenance and exit. However, how glycolysis regulates the self-renewal and differentiation of ESCs remains elusive. Here, we demonstrated that protein lactylation, regulated by intracellular lactate, contributes to the self-renewal of ESCs. Next, the lactylome profiles of ESCs with and without a lactate dehydrogenase (Ldh) inhibitor, which suppresses the conversion of pyruvate to lactate, were depicted. It was notable that many lactylated proteins are involved in the self-renewal and differentiation of ESCs. We further showed that Esrrb, an orphan nuclear receptor involved in pluripotency maintenance and extraembryonic endoderm stem cell (XEN) differentiation, is lactylated on K228 and K232. Lactylation of Esrrb enhances its activity in promoting ESC self-renewal in the absence of LIF and XEN differentiation of ESCs, through increasing its binding at target genes. Our studies reveal the importance of protein lactation in the self-renewal and XEN differentiation of ESCs, and the underlying mechanism for glycolytic metabolism regulating cell fate choice.

ChIP Seq of Oct4, Nanog, H3K27me3 in Oct4+/+ and Oct4 +/- mES cells

Project description:Embryonic stem cell (ESC) pluripotency is governed by a gene regulatory network centred on the transcription factors Oct4 and Nanog. ESCs fluctuate between states of high and low Nanog expression that direct efficient or inefficient self-renewal. To date, robust self-renewing ESC states have only been attained by chemical inhibition of signalling pathways or enforced transgene expression. Here we show that ESCs expressing a reduced range of Oct4 concentrations, typified by Oct4 heterozygous ESCs exhibit stable robust pluripotency. Despite this reduced Oct4 concentration range, this state is characterised by increased genome-wide binding of Oct4, particularly at pluripotency-associated enhancers, homogeneous expression of pluripotency transcription factors, enhanced self-renewal efficiency and delayed differentiation kinetics. In this state, ESCs exhibit increased wnt expression, enhanced LIF-sensitivity, non-responsiveness to FGF signalling and can clonally maintain pluripotency without BMP but remain dependent upon LIF. Robust pluripotency is destabilised either by alteration of the Oct4 level or by removal of LIF. Our findings suggest that robust pluripotency originates from cells with a reduced Oct4 protein concentration and that the wild-type Oct4 range enables effective differentiation.
