Transposable element activity captures human pluripotent cell states [RNA-seq]

ABSTRACT: Human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) serve as powerful in vitro models to elucidate the molecular underpinnings of embryonic cell fate transitions. hPSCs can be maintained in two distinct states: a naïve state, corresponding to the pre-implantation epiblast, and a primed state, mirroring the post-implantation epiblast. Our research demonstrates that transposable elements act as sensitive indicators of these pluripotency states. We engineered hPSCs with fluorescent reporters that capture the temporal expression dynamics of two transposable elements, LTR5_Hs and MER51B. This dual reporter system facilitates real-time monitoring and isolation of stem cells as they transition from naïve to primed pluripotency and further towards differentiation. Unexpectedly, we identified a rare, metastable cell population within primed hPSCs, marked by transcripts associated with pre-implantation embryo development and triggered by DNA damage. Additionally, our system uncovered novel transcriptional regulators involved in pluripotency, naïve reprogramming, and differentiation. Our study provides key insights into the dynamic regulation of transposable elements during embryonic development and introduces a novel system for investigating and exploiting cellular plasticity.

METTL3-dependent m6A RNA methylation represses transposable elements derived enhancers to suppress naïve pluripotency in human pluripotent stem cells [MeRIP-Seq]

Project description:Using a METTL3 inducible knockout (iKO) system in human expanded potential stem cells (hEPSCs), we uncovered that unlike in mESCs, METTL3 was indispensable for hPSCs’ maintenance, and that loss of METTL3 caused significant upregulation of naïve pluripotency genes accompanied with impaired hEPSCs differentiation particularly towards to both trophoblastic and amnionic lineage. Mechanistically, METTL3 iKO in hPSCs substantially increased expression of two primate-specific transposable elements (TEs), SVA_D and HERVK/LTR5_Hs.

Stirred suspension bioreactors maintain naïve pluripotency of human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs)

Project description:Although cell therapies require large numbers of quality-controlled hPSCs, existing technologies are limited in their ability to efficiently grow and scale stem cells. We report here that cell-state conversion from primed-to-naïve pluripotency enhances the biomanufacturing of hPSCs. Naïve hPSCs exhibit superior growth kinetics and aggregate formation characteristics in stirred suspension bioreactors compared to their primed counterparts. Moreover, we demonstrate the role of the bioreactor mechanical environment in the maintenance of naïve pluripotency, through transcriptomic enrichment of mechano-sensing signaling for cells in the bioreactor along with a decrease in expression of lineage-specific and primed pluripotency hallmarks. Bioreactor-cultured, naïve hPSCs express epigenetic regulatory transcripts associated with naïve pluripotency, and display hallmarks of X-chromosome reactivation. They exhibit robust production of naïve pluripotency metabolites and display reduced expression of primed pluripotency cell surface markers. We also show that these cells retain the ability to undergo targeted differentiation into beating cardiomyocytes, hepatocytes, and neural rosettes. They additionally display faster kinetics of teratoma formation compared to their primed counterparts. Naïve bioreactor hPSCs also retain structurally stable chromosomes. Our research corroborates that converting hPSCs to the naïve state enhances hPSC manufacturing and indicates a potentially important role for the bioreactor’s mechanical environment in maintaining naïve pluripotency.

Laminin111-based defined culture promoting self-renewing human pluripotent stem cells exhibiting properties of early post-implantation epiblast cells [LN_hPSC_SC]

Project description:In our study we sought to develop cultures highly enriched for self-renewing human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) with an early post-implantation phenotype, capturing the formative pluripotency phase in vitro. Our results demonstrate that hPSCs cultured on LN111 in defined conditions (LN-hPSCs) generate cultures highly enriched for genetically stable, self-renewing hPSCs exhibiting properties similar to the early-post implantation epiblast, including competence to give rise to the germ cell lineage. To analyze the global transcriptome of LN-hPSCs in comparison with conventional/primed and naive hPSCs, we performed RNA-seq of the three hPSC lines cultured under LN, primed, and naïve conditions.
