Overlapping and distinct roles of LIN28 paralogs in reprogramming and stem cell metabolism

ABSTRACT: The RNA binding protein paralogs LIN28A and LIN28B play critical roles in embryonic development, tumorigenesis, and pluripotency. Somatic cells can be reprogrammed to induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells by overexpression of OCT4 and SOX2 together with NANOG and LIN28A (OSNA), but the exact roles LIN28A/B play are still poorly understood. Here we show that LIN28B likewise promotes reprogramming, and that reactivation of both endogenous LIN28A and B loci are required for maximal reprogramming efficiency. The LIN28B locus has open chromatin and is activated early during reprogramming, whereas LIN28A is activated at later stages by OCT4, marking the transition to bona fide iPS cells. By proteomic and metabolomic analysis, we demonstrate that LIN28A chiefly regulates let-7 and protein translation, whereas LIN28B promotes embryonic metabolism by repressing oxidative phosphorylation and enhancing glycolysis. Thus, LIN28A and LIN28B play independent and cooperative roles in reprogramming and pluripotent stem cell metabolism.

Identification of mRNAs bound and regulated by human LIN28 proteins and molecular requirements for RNA recognition [Affymetrix]

Project description:Human LIN28A and B are RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) conserved in animals with important roles during development and stem cell reprogramming. We used Photoactivatable-Ribonucleoside-Enhanced Crosslinking and Immunoprecipitation (PAR-CLIP) in HEK293 cells and identified a largely overlapping set of ~3,000 mRNAs at ~9,500 sites located in the 3M-bM-^@M-^YUTR and CDS. In vitro and in vivo, LIN28 preferentially bound single-stranded RNA containing a uridine-rich element and one or more flanking guanosines, and appeared to be able to disrupt base-pairing to access these elements when embedded in predicted secondary structure. In HEK293 cells, LIN28 protein binding mildly stabilized target mRNAs and increased protein abundance. The top targets were its own mRNAs and those of other RBPs and cell-cycle regulators. Alteration of LIN28 protein levels also negatively regulated the abundance of some, but not all let-7 miRNA family members, indicating sequence-specific binding of let-7 precursors to LIN28 proteins and competition with cytoplasmic miRNA biogenesis factors. To assess whether the transcripts identified by PAR-CLIP are regulated by LIN28B we analyzed the mRNA levels of LIN28B overexpressing and LIN28B-depleted cells using microarrays. Transcripts crosslinked to LIN28B were slightly downregulated upon LIN28B knockdown compared to LIN28B overexpression indicating that LIN28B stabilizes transcripts. The RBP LIN28B was depleted by siRNAs and the expression levels was compared to mock-transfected HEK293 cells The RBP LIN28B was depleted by siRNAs and the expression levels was compared to mock-transfected HEK293 cells

Lin28 expression affect embryonic lung development

Project description:Lin28A and its paralog Lin28B are RNA binding proteins that regulate gene expression by inhibition of the maturation of the Per/Pri Let-7 miRNAs family and also via Let-7 independent mechanism. To study the effect of Lin28A ectopic-expression on mouse embryonic development we used a transgenic mice strain that combine a Cre-Lox system and a Tet-On system (herein Lox-stop-Lox-TetOn-Lin28A mice) and enable spatial and temporal control of transgenic Lin28A over-expression. Here we show that global Lin28A over-expression (by crossing Lox-stop-Lox-TetOn-Lin28A males with VasaCre females) in the mouse embryo prevents embryonic lung development. To study the precise developmental stage affected by Lin28A expression we preformed RNA sequencing analysis for transgenic and control lungs from E12.5, E14.5, E16.5 and E18.5 embryos. This analysis revealed that the development of the lung was delayed but not completely abrogated by Lin28A expression. We further showed that the effect of Lin28A expression in the mesenchymal cells (by crossing Lox-stop-Lox-TetOn-Lin28A males with Wt1Cre females) of the lung leads to the same phenotype as global Lin28A expression while expression in the lung epithelial cells (by crossing the Lox-stop-Lox-TetOn-Lin28A males with Nkx2.1Cre females) result in a milder developmental phenotype.

The Lin28/let-7 pathway regulates the mammalian caudal body axis elongation program

Project description:The heterochronic genes Lin28a/b and let-7 are well-established regulators of invertebrate development, however their functions in patterning the mammalian body plan remain unexplored. In this study, we discovered a novel function of Lin28/let-7 in controlling caudal vertebrae number during body axis formation. We found that FoxD1-driven overexpression of Lin28a or LIN28B led to a striking increase in caudal vertebrae number, whereas loss of Lin28a stunted tail formation. Accordingly, perturbation of the let-7 microRNA family led to the opposite phenotypes. We further show that overexpressing Lin28a in embryos resulted in increased tail bud cell proliferation, whereas Lin28a KO decreased cellular proliferation. This was accompanied by a transcriptional shift, including down-regulation of the neural marker Sox2, and resulted in a pro-mesodermal phenotype with decreased proportions of neural tissue relative to mesoderm in Lin28a-overexpressing embryos. Strikingly, Lin28a KO and let-7 over-expression demonstrated opposite effects, suggesting that the Lin28/let-7 pathway acts upstream of the signaling pathways controlling the self-renewal and cell fate commitment of neuro-mesodermal progenitors. We propose that Lin28a/b activity controls the pool of caudal progenitors during tail development, promotes their self-renewal potential, is involved in controlling the balance of neural versus mesodermal cell fate decisions, and that progressive down-regulation of Lin28a allows for species-specific vertebral formula to be achieved. These findings suggest that Lin28/let-7 play a role in the regulation of tail length through heterochrony of the body plan.

Lin28-mediated promotion of protein synthesis is critical for neural progenitor cell maintenance and brain development in mice

Project description:Neural progenitor cells (NPCs) undergo rapid proliferation during neurulation in early development. This rapid growth generates a high demand for mRNA translation in a timing-dependent manner, but its underlying mechanism and functional importance remain poorly understood. Lin28 is an RNA-binding protein with two paralogs, Lin28a and Lin28b, in mammals. Lin28b deletion exhibited no developmental defects in mice, while we previously reported that Lin28a deletion led to microcephaly. Here we found that Lin28a/b double knockout (dKO) mice displayed neural tube defects (NTDs) coupled with reduced proliferation and precocious differentiation of NPCs. We used ribosomal protein 24 hypomorphic mice (Rpl24Bst/+) as a genetic tool to dampen global protein synthesis. In support of the importance of Lin28-mediated translation promotion, Lin28a-/-;Rpl24Bst/+ compound mutants exhibited NTDs resembling those seen in Lin28a/b dKO mice. Furthermore, increased NPC numbers and brain sizes in Lin28a-overexpressing mice were rescued by Rpl24Bst/+ heterozygosity. Mechanistically, RNA-sequencing of polysome sucrose gradient fractions revealed a reduced translation of genes involved in the regulation of cell cycle, ribosome biogenesis, and translation in mutants. Lin28a localizes in the nucleoli of NPCs, and ribosome biogenesis was reduced in dKO and increased in Lin28a-overexpressing NPCs. Together, these results suggest that Lin28-mediated promotion of protein synthesis is essential for NPC maintenance and early brain development.

LIN28A interactome analyses in human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived neural progenitor cells

Project description:A single protein can be multifaceted depending on the cellular contexts and interacting molecules. LIN28A is an RNA-binding protein that governs developmental timing, cellular proliferation, differentiation, stem cell pluripotency, and metabolism. In addition to its best-known roles in microRNA biogenesis, diverse molecular roles have been recognized. In the nervous system, LIN28A is known to play critical roles in proliferation and differentiation of neural progenitor cells (NPC). We profiled the endogenous LIN28A-interacting proteins in NPC differentiated from human induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells using immunoprecipitation and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. We identified over 500 LIN28A-interacting proteins, including 156 RNA-independent interactors. Functions of these proteins span a wide range of gene regulatory processes. Our analysis opens multiple avenues for elaborating molecular roles and characteristics of LIN28A.

Lin28A Overexpression Triggers Inflammatory Response in Mouse Kidneys

Project description:The RNA-binding proteins Lin28A and Lin28B play critical roles in regulating gene expression through distinct mechanisms, including the inhibition of Let-7 microRNA maturation and direct mRNA binding. Predominantly expressed in pluripotent and multipotent stem cells, Lin28A and Lin28B contribute to a variety of biological processes such as development, growth, and tissue regeneration. Dysregulation of Lin28A/B expression is associated with numerous types of tumors. In this study, we demonstrate that overexpression of Lin28A in the mouse nephrons leads to severe inflammation and kidney damage, rather than to tumorigenesis. To investigate the causal relationship between kidney damage and inflammation, we utilized steroid treatment to suppress inflammation. This treatment also ameliorated the kidney damage phenotype, indicating that Lin28A overexpression directly induces inflammation, which in turn leads to kidney damage. Notably, Lin28A overexpression causes inflammation only when expressed in nephrons, but not in the stromal cells of the kidneys, highlighting its cell context-dependent nature. The nephron-specific, Lin28A-induced inflammatory response is distinct from the previously described Lin28B-mediated inflammatory feedback loops, as it is not IL-6 dependent. Instead, it is associated with the rapid upregulation of cytokines such as CXCL1 and CCL2. Overall, this study reveals that the impact of abnormal Lin28A expression is broader than previously understood, demonstrating that Lin28A overexpression also plays a role in inflammatory responses. Furthermore, this transgenic mouse model offers a valuable tool for advancing our understanding of the pathophysiology of acute kidney injury (AKI), where inflammation is a key factor.
