Enforcement of developmental lineage specificity by transcription factor Oct1 (RNA-Seq)

ABSTRACT: Embryonic stem cells (ESCs) co-express Oct4/POU5F1 and an Oct4 paralog known Oct1/POU2F1. To study the role of Oct1 in embryonic stem cell transcriptional control and pluripotency, we constructed germline and inducible-conditional Oct1 deficient ESC lines. ESCs lacking Oct1 show normal appearance, self-renewal, growth rates and metabolic signatures. However loss of Oct1 results in defective lineage specification. ESCs lacking Oct1 fail to form beating cardiomyocytes in culture, generate neurons poorly, form smaller, less differentiated teratomas, and are incapable of generating chimeric mice. Upon RA-mediated neuronal differentiation, Oct1 deficient cells fail to properly induce developmentally poised genes. Simultaneously, genes for alternative developmental pathways, most notably for the development of extra-embryonic tissues, are inappropriately expressed. ChIP experiments show that Oct1 does not occupy pluripotency genes or differentially expressed developmental targets in ESCs. Additionally, Oct1 occupies developmental targets as cells differentiate and Oct4 is lost. These results are consistent with a role for Oct1 in promoting the expression of lineage-specific genes in differentiating cells while simultaneously repressing genes specific for alternative lineages.

Enforcement of developmental lineage specificity by transcription factor Oct1 (ChIP-Seq)

Oct1 cooperates with Smad transcription factors to promote mesodermal lineage specification [BulkRNAseq7221]

Project description:The pathways used by cells to transition from undifferentiated, pluripotent gene expression programs into cell type-specific gene expression programs are incompletely understood. Here we show that the transcription factor Oct1/Pou2f1 recruits histone lysine demethylase complexes to allow for correct induction of silent, developmental lineage-specific genes and “canalize” developmental progression. Using mesodermal differentiation of inducible-conditional Oct1 knockout embryonic stem cells and single-cell gene expression profiling, we show that the potential to progress efficiently through mesodermal development is impaired in the Oct1 deficient condition. Oct1 deficient cells fail to form late presomitic mesoderm and early somite stage populations, and show “leaky” developmental trajectories with inappropriate lineage branching and accumulation of poorly differentiated cells that retain gene expression and metabolic hallmarks of pluripotency. Oct1 directly binds and regulates genes critical for developmental regulation, including genes encoding mesoderm-specific master regulators and components of chromatin regulatory complexes. Cells lacking Oct1 fail to positively resolve gene bivalency and activate gene expression by removing inhibitory H3K27me3 chromatin marks at mesoderm-specific genes. The Oct1 protein interacts with and recruits UTX to lineage-specific bivalent/poised targets, explaining the failure of Oct1 deficient cells to remove H3K27me3. Ectopic Oct1 expression improves the ability of cells to differentiate accurately under mesoderm lineage-inducing conditions.

Oct4 redox sensitivity potentiates reprogramming and differentiation

Project description:The transcription factor Oct4/Pou5f1 is a key component of the regulatory circuitry governing pluripotency. Oct4 is also widely used to generate induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) from somatic cells. These observations provide compelling rationale to understand Oct4’s functions. Here we used domain swapping and mutagenesis to compare Oct4’s reprogramming activity with the paralog Oct1/Pou2f1, identifying a redox-sensitive DNA binding domain cysteine residue (Cys48) as a key determinant of both reprogramming and differentiation. In combination with the Oct4 N-terminus, mutating Oct1’s serine at this position to cysteine is sufficient to confer strong reprogramming activity. Conversely, Oct4C48S strongly reduces reprogramming potential. Oct4C48S renders the protein insensitive to oxidative inhibition of DNA binding. The same mutation prevents oxidation-mediated protein ubiquitylation. An engineered Pou5f1C48S point mutation has little effect on undifferentiated cells embryonic stem cells (ESCs), but upon retinoic acid (RA)-mediated differentiation causes retention of Oct4 expression, decreased proliferation, and increased apoptosis. Transcriptional profiling reveals that the retention of pluripotency also manifests at the RNA level. Pou5f1C48S ESCs also contribute poorly to adult somatic tissues and form less differentiated teratomas. Collectively, the data support a model in which Oct4 redox sensing is a positive reprogramming determinant during one or more reprogramming steps, and mediates Oct4 degradation during differentiation.

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.

Oct1 cooperates with Smad transcription factors to promote mesodermal lineage specification [HiChIP]

Project description:The pathways used by cells to transition between pluripotent and tissue-specific states are incompletely understood. Here we show that the widely-expressed transcription factor Oct1/Pou2f1 activates silent, developmental lineage-appropriate genes to “canalize” developmental progression. Using Oct1 inducible knockout embryonic stem cells, we show that that Oct1 deficiency impairs mesodermal and terminal muscle differentiation in a manner that can be rescued by Oct1 retroviral expression. We show that mesoderm-specific genes are not correctly induced early in the differentiation timecourse. Oct1-deficient cells lose temporal coherence in the induction of lineage-specific genes and show inappropriate developmental lineage branching, resulting in poorly differentiated cells states retaining epithelial characteristics. In embryonic stem cells, Oct1 co-binds with Oct4 to genes critical for mesoderm induction, and continues to bind these genes during differentiation. Oct1 binding events are enriched at the termini of chromatin loops, including loops gained with differentiation. The Utx/Kdm6a histone lysine demethylase also binds to many of these genes, and using a prototypic Pax3 gene we show that Oct1 recruits Utx to remove inhibitory H3K27me3 marks and activate expression. The specificity of the ubiquitous Oct1 protein for mesodermal genes can be explained by cooperative interactions with lineage-driving Smad transcription factors, as we show that Smad and Oct binding sites frequently coexist mesoderm-specific genes, and that Oct1 and Smad3 act cooperatively at the Myog enhancer. Overall, these results identify Oct1 as a key mediator of the induction of mesoderm lineage-specific genes.

OCT4 IP-MS in Naive and Primed Human ESCs

Project description:Understanding the molecular underpinnings of pluripotency is a prerequisite for optimal maintenance and application of embryonic stem cells (ESCs). While the protein-protein interactions of core pluripotency factors have been identified in mouse ESCs, their interactome in human ESCs (hESCs) has not to date been explored. Here we mapped the OCT4 interactomes in naïve and primed hESCs, revealing extensive connections to mammalian ATP-dependent nucleosome remodeling complexes.
