Project description:Chickarmane2006 - Stem cell switch reversible
Kinetic modeling approach of the transcriptional dynamics of the embryonic stem cell switch.
This model is described in the article:
Transcriptional dynamics of the embryonic stem cell switch.
Chickarmane V, Troein C, Nuber UA, Sauro HM, Peterson C
PLoS Computational Biology. 2006; 2(9):e123
Abstract:
Recent ChIP experiments of human and mouse embryonic stem cells have elucidated the architecture of the transcriptional regulatory circuitry responsible for cell determination, which involves the transcription factors OCT4, SOX2, and NANOG. In addition to regulating each other through feedback loops, these genes also regulate downstream target genes involved in the maintenance and differentiation of embryonic stem cells. A search for the OCT4-SOX2-NANOG network motif in other species reveals that it is unique to mammals. With a kinetic modeling approach, we ascribe function to the observed OCT4-SOX2-NANOG network by making plausible assumptions about the interactions between the transcription factors at the gene promoter binding sites and RNA polymerase (RNAP), at each of the three genes as well as at the target genes. We identify a bistable switch in the network, which arises due to several positive feedback loops, and is switched on/off by input environmental signals. The switch stabilizes the expression levels of the three genes, and through their regulatory roles on the downstream target genes, leads to a binary decision: when OCT4, SOX2, and NANOG are expressed and the switch is on, the self-renewal genes are on and the differentiation genes are off. The opposite holds when the switch is off. The model is extremely robust to parameter changes. In addition to providing a self-consistent picture of the transcriptional circuit, the model generates several predictions. Increasing the binding strength of NANOG to OCT4 and SOX2, or increasing its basal transcriptional rate, leads to an irreversible bistable switch: the switch remains on even when the activating signal is removed. Hence, the stem cell can be manipulated to be self-renewing without the requirement of input signals. We also suggest tests that could discriminate between a variety of feedforward regulation architectures of the target genes by OCT4, SOX2, and NANOG.

A computational model for understanding stem cell, trophectoderm and endoderm lineage determination.
Chickarmane V, Peterson C
PloS one. 2008, 3(10):e3478
Abstract:
BACKGROUND: Recent studies have associated the transcription factors, Oct4, Sox2 and Nanog as parts of a self-regulating network which is responsible for maintaining embryonic stem cell properties: self renewal and pluripotency. In addition, mutual antagonism between two of these and other master regulators have been shown to regulate lineage determination. In particular, an excess of Cdx2 over Oct4 determines the trophectoderm lineage whereas an excess of Gata-6 over Nanog determines differentiation into the endoderm lineage. Also, under/over-expression studies of the master regulator Oct4 have revealed that some self-renewal/pluripotency as well as differentiation genes are expressed in a biphasic manner with respect to the concentration of Oct4. METHODOLOGY/
PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: We construct a dynamical model of a minimalistic network, extracted from ChIP-on-chip and microarray data as well as literature studies. The model is based upon differential equations and makes two plausible assumptions; activation of Gata-6 by Oct4 and repression of Nanog by an Oct4-Gata-6 heterodimer. With these assumptions, the results of simulations successfully describe the biphasic behavior as well as lineage commitment. The model also predicts that reprogramming the network from a differentiated state, in particular the endoderm state, into a stem cell state, is best achieved by over-expressing Nanog, rather than by suppression of differentiation genes such as Gata-6.
CONCLUSIONS: The computational model provides a mechanistic understanding of how different lineages arise from the dynamics of the underlying regulatory network. It provides a framework to explore strategies of reprogramming a cell from a differentiated state to a stem cell state through directed perturbations. Such an approach is highly relevant to regenerative medicine since it allows for a rapid search over the host of possibilities for reprogramming to a stem cell state.

Project description:Protein-protein proximity of core pluripotency transcription factors plays an important role during cell reprogramming. Pluripotent embryonic stem (ES) cell identity is controlled by a trio of transcription factors: Sox2, Oct4, and Nanog. These proteins often bind to closely localized genomic sites. The precise mode by which Sox2, Oct4, and Nanog interact with DNA is likely to make a crucial contribution to their function. Here, a detailed protocol for in vivo detection and quantitative analysis of protein-protein proximity of Sox2 and Oct4 using Proximity Utilizing Biotinylation (PUB) method based on the use of the BAP/BirA (target/enzyme) system is described. The method includes design and cloning of DNA plasmid construct, transient transfection of HEK293T cells, Western blot analysis of nuclei fraction and LC-MS/MS analysis. Experiments with coexpression of BAP-X+BirA-Y (X, Y=Sox2, Oct4 and GFP as control) revealed strong biotinylation level of target proteins when X and Y were pluripotency transcription factors compared with control when X=GFP. Since mass spectrometry provides both high sensitivity and more accurate quantification of data a modified workflow was used, in which SDS-PAGE step was eliminated and His-tagged BAP-fused proteins from cell lysate were purified in 6M guanidine HCl buffer, washed, propionylated, digested directly on the Ni sepharose beads using trypsin and analysed on Q-TOF Impact II instrument. Using mass spectrometry allows making quantitative estimation of in vivo interaction of BAP-Sox2 and BirA-Oct4 which was demonstrated by measuring ratios of biotinylation levels of BAP fused either with Sox2 or GFP at different biotin pulse times. After vector preparation this protocol can be completed in seven working days.

Project description:Induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells can be obtained through the introduction of defined factors into somatic cells. The combination of Oct4, Sox2 and Klf4 (OSK) constitutes the minimal requirement for generating iPS cells from mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs). Through the genomic analyses of ESC genes that have roles in pluripotency and fusion-mediated somatic cell reprogramming, we identified Tbx3 as a transcription factor that significantly improves the quality of iPS cells. Induced-PS cells generated with OSK + Tbx3 (OSKT) are superior in both germ cell contribution to the gonads and germ-line transmission frequency. However, global gene expression profiling could not distinguish between OSK and OSKT iPS cells. Genome-wide ChIP-sequencing analysis of Tbx3 binding sites in ESCs suggests that Tbx3 regulates pluripotency-associated and reprogramming factors, in addition to sharing many common downstream regulatory targets with Oct4, Sox2, Nanog and Smad1.

Project description:Embryonic stem cells have potential utility in regenerative medicine due to their pluripotent characteristics. Sall4, a zinc-finger transcription factor, is expressed very early in embryonic development with Oct4 and Nanog, two well characterized pluripotency regulators. Sall4 plays an important role in governing the fate of stem cells through transcriptional regulation of both Oct4 and Nanog. Using chromatin immunoprecipitation coupled to microarray hybridization (ChIP on Chip), we have mapped global gene targets of Sall4 unveiling possible regulation of broad ES cell functions. Approximately 5,000 genes were identified that were bound by the Sall4 protein and many of these have major functions in developmental and regulatory pathways. Sall4 bound more than six times as many annotated genes within promoter regions as Oct4 and twice as many as Nanog. Immunoprecipitation revealed a heterotrimeric protein complex between Sall4, Oct4, and Nanog, consistent with binding site co-occupancies. Further, Sall4 bound many genes that are regulated in part by the chromatin-based epigenetic events mediated by polycomb-repressive complexes and bivalent domains. This suggests that Sall4 plays a central and diverse role in regulating stem cell pluripotency during early embryonic development that involves integration of transcriptional and epigenetic control processes. Keywords: ChIP-chip We used ChIP-chip to map global promoter bound by Sall4, a zinc finger transcription factor. Growing evidence has suggested that Sall4 plays a vital role in ES cell pluripotency maintenance. Evidence for this includes its recent use as a marker for somatic cell reprogramming, in a genetic signature for ES cells, and evidence that Sall4 enhances reprogramming. These recent findings and two previously described interactions with Oct4 and Nanog strongly support the role of Sall4 in ES cells. This hypothesis was furthered here as we show that Sall4 plays important roles through transcriptional regulation of vital ES cell genes.

Project description:Ectopic expression of the reprogramming factors OCT4, SOX2, or NANOG into human astrocytes in specific cytokine/culture conditions activated the neural stem gene program and induced generation of cells expressing neural stem/precursor markers (ASTRO-NSC). To evaluate the epigenetic changes associated with this reprogramming, we analyzed the DNA methylation patterns of Astro-NSC relative to untransfected astrocytes.

Project description:Cellular reprogramming from somatic cells to induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) can be achieved through forced expression of the transcription factors Oct4, Klf4, Sox2 and c-Myc (OKSM). These factors, in combination with environmental cues, induce a stable intrinsic pluripotency network that confers indefinite self-renewal capacity on iPSCs. In addition to Oct4 and Sox2, the homeodomain-containing transcription factor Nanog is an integral part of the pluripotency network. Although Nanog expression is not required for the maintenance of pluripotent stem cells, it has been reported to be essential for the establishment of both embryonic stem cells (ESCs) from blastocysts and iPSCs from somatic cells. Here we revisit the role of Nanog in direct reprogramming. Surprisingly, we find that Nanog is dispensable for iPSC formation under optimized culture conditions. We further document that Nanog-deficient iPSCs are transcriptionally highly similar to wild-type iPSCs and support the generation of teratomas and chimeric mice. Lastly, we provide evidence that the presence of ascorbic acid in the culture media is critical for overcoming the previously observed reprogramming block of Nanog knockout cells. Comparison of Nanog KO iPSCs to WT pluripotent cells.
