Identification and successful negotiation of a metabolic checkpoint in direct neuronal reprogramming

ABSTRACT: Despite the widespread interest in direct neuronal reprogramming, the mechanisms underpinning fate conversion remain largely unknown. Our study revealed a critical time point after which cells either successfully convert into neurons or succumb to cell death. Co-transduction with Bcl-2 greatly improved negotiation of this critical point by faster neuronal differentiation. Surprisingly, mutants with reduced or no affinity for Bax demonstrated that Bcl-2 exerts this effect by an apoptosis-independent mechanism. Consistent with a caspase-independent role, ferroptosis inhibitors potently increased neuronal reprogramming by inhibiting lipid peroxidation occurring during fate conversion. Genome-wide expression analysis confirmed that treatments promoting neuronal reprogramming elicit an anti-oxidative stress response. Importantly, coexpression of Bcl-2 and anti-oxidative treatments lead to an unprecedented improvement in glial-to-neuron conversion after traumatic brain injury in vivo, underscoring the relevance of these pathways in cellular reprograming irrespective of cell type, in vitro and in vivo.

We performed gene expression microarray analysis on mouse embryonic fibroblasts transfected with a viral vector for Ascl1 or empty vector. Cells were then cultured in the absence or presence of forskolin

Expression data from BAX/BAK double knockout mouse embryonic fibroblast at baseline and following exposure to genotoxic stress.

Project description:The BCL-2 family proteins are central regulators of apoptosis. However, cells doubly deficient for BAX and BAK or overexpressing BCL-2 still succumb to oxidative stress upon DNA damage or loss of matrix attachment. Our studies indicate a central role for the transcription factor deltaNp63alpha (referred to as p63 from this point forward) in this form of non-apoptotic cell death. We used microarrays to investigate gene expression in apoptosis-incompetent cells expressing a control vector or p63, at baseline and following exposure to genotoxic stress, to further elucidate molecular mechanisms regulating this type of non-apoptotic death and the role of p63 in this context.

Deconstructing Stepwise Fate Conversion of Human Fibroblasts to Neurons by MicroRNAs: Subseries 10 [Figure 7, ATAC-seq]

Project description:Cell-fate conversion generally presumes the activity of reprogramming effectors to both introduce fate programs of the target cell type and erase the identity of starting cell population. Here, we reveal novel insights into the activity of microRNAs, miR-9/9* and miR-124 (miR-9/9*-124) as reprogramming agents that orchestrate direct conversion of human fibroblasts by first eradicating fibroblast identity and promoting uniform transition to a neuronal state in sequence. Among the direct target genes of miR-9/9*-124, we identify KLF-family transcription factors whose repression is critical for erasing fibroblast fate. The subsequent upregulation of a small nuclear RNA, RN7SK induces accessibilities of chromatin regions and neuronal gene activation, pushing the reprogramming cells to a neuronal state. Our study defines deterministic components in the reprogramming cascade by microRNAs.
