Project description:Stem cell differentiation is known to involve changes in RNA expression, but little is known about translational control during differentiation. We comprehensively profiled gene expression during differentiation of embryonic stem cells (ESCs) into embyroid bodies (EBs) by integrating conventional transcriptome analysis with global assessment of ribosome loading. Differentiation was accompanied by an anabolic switch, characterized by global increases in transcript abundance, polysome content, protein synthesis rates and protein content. Furthermore, 78% of expressed transcripts showed increased ribosome loading, thereby enhancing translational efficiency. Elevated protein synthesis was accompanied by enhanced phosphorylation of eIF-4E binding protein, suggesting regulation by the mTOR pathway. Some transcripts were under exclusive translational control, including Activated Transcription Factor 5 (ATF5) a b-zip transcription factor, Deleted in Colon Cancer (DCC) the tumor suppressor and Wnt1, the beta-catenin agonist. Parsimonious translation in ESCs may provide a layer of quality control to prevent inappropriate gene expression in the pluripotent state. Experiment Overall Design: Embryonic stem cells (ESC) maintained in an undifferentiated state and day-5 Embryoid bodies (EB) were selected for RNA was extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix 430_2 mouse expression arrays. For polysome fractionation, twelve fractions collected from the gradients were combined to form four pools. One ml of each pool (Pools: 1-4) was used for RNA isolation, labeling and hybridization for undifferentiated ESCs (UD1, UD2, UD3 and UD4) and EBs (EB1, EB2, EB3 and EB4). In parallel, total RNA was also isolated from unfractionated lysates for transcript abundance analysis. Three biological replicates of ESCs and EB cultures were used for polysome fractionation and total RNA analysis.

Project description:Translational control plays a central role in regulation of gene expression and can lead to significant divergence between mRNA- and protein-abundance. Here we used genome-wide approaches combined with time-course analysis to measure the mRNA-abundance, mRNA-translation rate and protein expression during the transition of naïve-to-primed mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs). We find that the ground state ESCs cultured with GSK3-, MEK-inhibitors and LIF (2iL) display higher ribosome density on a selective set of mRNAs. This set of mRNAs undergo strong translational buffering to maintain stable protein expression levels in 2iL-ESCs. Importantly, we show that the global alteration of cellular proteome during the transition of naïve to primed pluripotency is largely accompanied by transcriptional rewiring. Thus, we provide a comprehensive and detailed overview of the global changes in gene expression in different states of ESCs and dissect the relative contributions of RNA-transcription, translation and regulation of protein stability in controlling protein abundance.

Project description:Disruptions of protein homeostasis in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) elicit activation of the unfolded protein response (UPR), a translation- and transcription-coupled proteostatic stress response pathway. The primary translational control arm of the UPR is initiated by the PERK-dependent phosphorylation of eIF2α, leading to a large-scale reprogramming of translation and subsequent activation of an ATF4-mediated transcriptional program. It has remained challenging, however, to accurately evaluate the contribution of each component of the eIF2α/ATF4 pathway to the remodelling of transcription and translation. Here, we have used mouse embryonic fibroblasts containing either a knock-in of the non-phosphorylatable eIF2α S51A mutant or knock-out for ATF4 by ribosome profiling and mRNA-seq to define the specific contributions of eIF2α phosphoryation and ATF4 in controlling the translational and transcriptional components of the UPR. These studies show that the transcriptional and translational targets of each P-eIF2α, ATF4, and the other UPR gene expression programs overlapped extensively, leading to a core set of UPR genes whose robust expression in response to ER stress is driven by multiple mechanisms. The identification of other, more factor-specific targets illustrated the potential for functional specialization of the UPR. As the UPR progressed temporally, cells employed distinct combinations of transcriptional and translational mechanisms, initiated by different factors, to adapt to ongoing stress. These effects were accompanied by a buffering effect where changes in mRNA levels were coupled to opposing changes in ribosome loading, a property which makes cooperation between transcription and translation essential to confer robust protein expression. Translational analysis by ribosome profiling and mRNA-seq of PERK pathways mutants during the UPR. Mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) lacking components of the PERK pathway (eIF2a phosphorylation and ATF4) were subjected to ER stress and analyzed by ribosome profiling.

Project description:Translational control plays a central role in regulation of gene expression and can lead to significant divergence between mRNA- and protein-abundance. The translational landscape of early mammalian development and its impact on cellular proteome, however, remains largely un-explored. Here we used genome-wide approaches combined with time-course analysis to measure the mRNA-abundance, mRNA-translation rate and protein expression during the transition of naïve into primed embryonic stem cells (ESCs). We found that the ground state ESCs cultured with GSK3- and MEK-inhibitors and LIF (2iL) display higher ribosome density on a selective set of mRNAs. These mRNAs show reduced translation during the exit from ground state pluripotency and transition to serum/LIF (SL) culture or upon commitment to primed epiblast-like stem cells (EpiLSCs). Strikingly, integrative analysis with cellular proteome indicate a strong translational buffering of this set of mRNAs in 2iL-ESCs leading to stable protein expression levels. Our data reveal that the global alteration of cellular proteome is largely accompanied by transcriptional rewiring. Furthermore, we identified a set of genes (including UHRF1 and KRAS) that undergo selective post-translational regulation during the transition of naïve into primed pluripotency and linked the observed changes to upstream GSK- and MEK/MAPK-signaling pathways using single inhibitor treated ESCs. Thus, we provide a comprehensive and detailed overview of the global changes in gene expression during the transition of naïve to primed pluripotency and dissect the relative contributions of RNA-transcription, translation and regulation of protein stability in controlling protein abundance.

Project description:Gene expression regulation in eukaryotes is a multi-level process, including transcription, mRNA translation, and protein turnover. Many studies have reported the sophisticated transcriptional regulations during neural development, but the global translational dynamics is still ambiguous. Here, we differentiated human embryonic stem cells (ESCs) into neural progenitor cells (NPCs) with high efficiency and performed ribosome sequencing and RNA sequencing on both ESCs and NPCs. Data analysis revealed that translational controls engaged in many critical pathways and contributed significantly to neural fate determination regulation. Furthermore, we showed that the sequence characteristics in the untranslated region (UTR) might regulate translation efficiency. Specifically, genes with short 5UTR and intense Kozak sequence are associated with high translation efficiency in human ESCs, while genes with long 3'UTR are related to high translation efficiency in NPCs. In addition, we identified four biasedly-used codons (GAC, GAT, AGA, and AGG) and dozens of short open reading frames during neural progenitor differentiation. Thus, our study reveals the translational landscape during early human neural differentiation and provides insights into the regulation of cell fate determination at the translational level.

Project description:Embryonic stem cells (ESCs) are defined as stem cells with self-renewing and differentiation capabilities. These unique properties are tightly regulated and controlled by complex genetic and molecular mechanisms whose understanding is essential for both basic and translational research. A large number of existing studies in the broader literature have mostly focused on understanding the molecular mechanisms governing pluripotency and differentiation of ESCs, while the regulation of proliferation has received comparably less attention. Proliferation is a fundamental aspect of stem cell biology and despite its importance, the intricate mechanisms governing proliferation in human ESCs are not fully understood. In mouse ESCs, pluripotency and proliferation can be independent processes meaning that it is possible for mouse ESCs to maintain their pluripotent state without actively proliferating. Ribosome biogenesis and translation have emerged as critical pathways that play essential roles in regulating stem cell homeostasis influencing cell growth and division rates. Here, we aim at investigating the role of ZZZ3 (Zinc Finger ZZ-Type Containing 3) in human ESCs homeostasis. ZZZ3 is expressed in both mouse and human pluripotent stem cells and regulates genes encoding ribosomal proteins (RPGs). However, its precise function in human pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) still remains elusive. Interestingly, we found that knockdown of ZZZ3 strongly decreases ribosome biogenesis, translation, and mTOR signaling leading to nucleolar stress and significant reduction of cell proliferation. This process occurs without affecting pluripotency, suggesting that ZZZ3-depleted ESCs enter a dormant-like state and that proliferation and pluripotency can be uncoupled also in human ESCs. Our study shows that ZZZ3 controls ribosome biogenesis, translation, and proliferation of stem cells and protects hESCs from nucleolar stress.

Project description:Translational regulation is of paramount importance for proteome remodeling during stem cell differentiation both at the global and transcript-specific level. In this study, we characterized translational remodeling during hepatogenic differentiation of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) by polysome profiling. We demonstrate that protein synthesis increases during the initial exit from pluripotency, but is then globally repressed during later steps of hepatogenic maturation. This global downregulation of translation is accompanied by a decrease in the protein abundance of components of the translation machinery, which involves a global reduction in translational efficiency of terminal oligopyrimidine tract (TOP) mRNA encoding translation-related factors. Despite global translational repression during hepatogenic differentiation, key hepatogenic genes remain efficiently translated, and the translation of several transcripts involved in hepato-specific functions and metabolic maturation are even induced. We conclude that, during hepatogenic differentiation, a global decrease in protein synthesis is accompanied by a specific translational rewiring towards hepato-specific transcripts.

Project description:Entry into and exit from mitosis is driven by precisely-timed changes in protein abundance, and involves transcriptional regulation and protein degradation. However, the role of translational regulation in modulating cellular protein content during mitosis remains poorly understood. Here, using ribosome profiling, we show that translational, rather than transcriptional regulation is the dominant mechanism for modulating protein synthesis at mitotic entry. The vast majority of regulated mRNAs are translationally repressed, which contrasts previous findings of selective mRNA translational activation at mitotic entry. One of the most pronounced translationally repressed genes in mitosis is Emi1, an inhibitor of the anaphase promoting complex (APC), which is degraded during mitosis. We show that Emi1 degradation is insufficient for full APC activation and that simultaneous translational repression is required. These results provide a genome-wide view of protein translation during mitosis and suggest that translational repression may be used to ensure complete protein inactivation Ribosome profiling and mRNA-seq from 3 time points in the cell cycle
