Artificial acceleration of mammalian cell reprogramming by bacterial proteins

ABSTRACT: Mammalian cell reprogramming to pluripotency can be achieved by overexpression of a set of defined transcription factors (Yamanaka factors). Various gene products regulate progression of this process. Some small molecule compounds have been identified to influence it through interacting cellular proteins by library screenings. Although such compounds are useful to reveal mechanisms underlying reprogramming as well as enhancing reprogramming efficiency, the screening usually requires huge amount of compounds to be tested to identify an effective one (ex., one effective molecule in several tens of thousands). Here, we show a case report that there are gene products that can affect efficiency of mammalian cell reprogramming in a xeno-species. Thirty genes specific for a bacterium Wolbachia pipientis, as a pilot trial, were forcedly expressed along with Yamanaka factors in mammalian cells. As a result, we found that 8 Wolbachia genes affected the reprogramming efficiency either positively or negatively. This is a surprisingly high probability compared with small molecule compounds reported. Although this study is just a case report, it shows that screenings using genes from a xenospecies can be so effective. In principle, use of genes from a xenospecies could be useful for controls of various cellular states such as induction or maintenance of a cell type of interest and development novel drugs. Our findings suggest that systems using genes from xeno-species can be novel strategies for a wide variety of cellular events possibly with a high hit rate.

Extracellular matrix-dependent generation of integration- and xeno-free iPS cells using a modified mRNA transfection method

Project description:In this study, we sought to examine whether an extracellular matrix (ECM)-based xeno-free culture system that we recently established could be used together with a microRNA-enhanced mRNA reprogramming method for the generation of clinically safe iPS cells. The notable features of this method are (1) the use of a xeno-free/feeder-free culture system for the generation and expansion of iPS cells rather than the conventional labor-intensive culture systems using human feeder cells or human feeder-conditioned medium and (2) the enhancement of mRNA-mediated reprogramming via the delivery of microRNAs. Strikingly, we observed the early appearance of iPS cell colonies (~11 days), substantial reprogramming efficiency (~0.2-0.3%), and a high percentage of ESC-like colonies among the total colonies (~87.5%), indicating enhanced kinetics and reprogramming efficiency. Therefore, the combined method established in this study provides a valuable platform for the generation and expansion of clinically safe (i.e., integration- and xeno-free) iPS cells, facilitating immune-matched cell therapy in the near future.

Wolbachia and virus alter the host transcriptome at the interface of nucleotide metabolism pathways

Project description:Wolbachia is a maternally transmitted bacterium that manipulates arthropod and nematode biology in myriad ways. The Wolbachia strain colonizing Drosophila melanogaster creates sperm-egg incompatibilities and protects its host against RNA viruses, making it a promising tool for vector control. Despite successful trials using Wolbachia-transfected mosquitoes for Dengue control, knowledge of how Wolbachia and viruses jointly affect insect biology remains limited. Using the Drosophila melanogaster model, transcriptomics and gene expression network analyses revealed pathways with altered expression and splicing due to Wolbachia colonization and virus infection. Included are metabolic pathways previously unknown to be important for Wolbachia-host interactions. Additionally, Wolbachia-colonized flies exhibit a dampened transcriptomic response to virus infection, consistent with early blocking of virus replication. Finally, using Drosophila genetics, we show Wolbachia and expression of nucleotide metabolism genes have interactive effects on virus replication. Understanding the mechanisms of pathogen blocking will contribute to the effective development of Wolbachia-mediated vector control programs.

Deep sequencing identifies PD0325901 modulated microRNAs in the J1 mESCs

Project description:PD0325901 is involved in improving reprogramming efficiency during inducing pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) or maintain a blastocyst-like state in embryonic stem cells (ESC). However, the knowledge about this small molecule regulating miRNAs in ESC was limited. To understand the role of miRNAs during PD03-induced ESC maintenance and gain an insight how PD0325901 regulates miRNAs expression; we performed small RNA sequencing using Illumina HiSeq 2000 under the compounds treatment. The data show the miRNAs regulated by PD0325901. J1 mESCs maintained in medium containing 1000 U/mL LIF and supplemented with PD0325901 for 24 hours, J1 treated with DMSO was set as control. Then total RNA was extracted for analysis.

Gene expression profiles in human ES cells and human iPS cells

Project description:Genome editing research of human ES/iPS cells has been accelerated by clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats/CRISPR-associated 9 (CRISPR/Cas9) and transcription activator-like effector nucleases (TALEN) technologies. However, the efficiency of biallelic genetic engineering in transcriptionally inactive genes is still low, unlike that in transcriptionally active genes. To enhance the biallelic homologous recombination efficiency in human ES/iPS cells, we performed screenings of accessorial genes and compounds. We found that RAD51 overexpression and valproic acid treatment enhanced biallelic-targeting efficiency in human ES/iPS cells regardless of the transcriptional activity of the targeted locus. Importantly, RAD51 overexpression and valproic acid treatment synergistically increased the biallelic homologous recombination efficiency. Our findings would facilitate genome editing study using human ES/iPS cells.

A PIANO (Proper, Insufficient, Aberrant, and NO reprogramming) response to the Yamanaka factors in the initial stages of human iPSC reprogramming

Project description:Yamanaka reprogramming is revolutionary but inefficient, slow and stochastic. The underlying molecular events for these mixed outcomes of iPSC reprogramming is still unclear. Previous studies about transcriptional responses to reprogramming overlooked human reprogramming, and are compromised by the fact that only a rare population proceeds towards pluripotency and a significant amount of the collected transcriptional data may not represent the positive reprogramming. We recently developed a concept of reprogramome, which allows one to study the early transcriptional responses to the Yamanaka factors in the perspective of reprogramming legitimacy of a gene response to reprogramming. Using RNA-seq, this study scored 579 genes successfully reprogrammed within 48 hours, indicating the potency of the reprogramming factors. This report also tallied 438 genes reprogrammed significantly but insufficiently up to 72 hours, indicating a positive drive with some inadequacy of the Yamanaka factors. In addition, 953 member genes within the reprogramome were transcriptionally irresponsive to reprogramming, showing the inability of the reprogramming factors to directly act on these genes. Furthermore, there were 305 genes undergoing six types of aberrant reprogramming: over, wrong, and unwanted up- or down- reprogramming, revealing significant negative impacts of the Yamanaka factors. The mixed findings about the initial transcriptional responses to the reprogramming factors shed new insights into the robustness as well as limitations of the Yamanaka factors.

NCoR/SMRT co-repressors cooperate with c-MYC to create an epigenetic barrier to somatic cell reprogramming [RNA-seq]

Project description:Changing the somatic cell transcriptome to a pluripotent state using exogenous reprogramming factors needs transcriptional co-regulators that help activate or suppress gene expression and rewrite the epigenome. Here, we show that reprogramming-specific engagement of the NCoR/SMRT co-repressor complex at key pluripotency loci creates an epigenetic block to reprogramming. HDAC3 executes the repressive function of NCoR/SMRT in reprogramming by inducing histone deacetylation at these loci. Recruitment of NCoR/SMRT-HDAC3 to pluripotency genes is facilitated by all 4 Yamanaka factors (OCT4, SOX2, KLF4 and c-MYC) but mostly by c-MYC. Class IIa HDACs further potentiate this recruitment by interacting with both the reprogramming factors and NCoR/SMRT. Consequently, depleting NCoR/SMRT-HDAC3 function enables high efficiency of reprogramming, while elevating NCoR/SMRT-HDAC3 recruitment at pluripotency loci by over-expressing constitutively active class IIa HDACs derails it. Our findings thus uncover an unexpected epigenetic mechanism involving c-MYC, whose manipulation greatly enhances reprogramming efficiency.

L3-L4 Developmental Transcriptome of the human parasitic nematode Brugia malayi and its Wolbachia endosymbiont

Project description:Lymphatic filarial nematodes maintain a mutualistic association with the intracellular bacterium Wolbachia. Wolbachia populations expand following infection of the mammalian host, to support larval growth and development. Utilizing transcriptomic data from Brugia malayi over the first two weeks post-infection, we present an analysis of the biochemical pathways that are involved in Wolbachia population growth and regulation in support of larval development. In Wolbachia, we observe coordinated regulation of carbon metabolism with an alternating pattern of glycolysis and TCA cycle pathways reminiscent of the ‘Warburg effect’. Wolbachia's purine, pyrimidine and haem biosynthesis and Type IV secretion pathways are also upregulated and correlate with the upregulation of the nematode’s DNA replication pathway. In the nematode we observe up-regulation of the autophagy pathway, a key regulator of Wolbachia populations. These findings support a key role for nucleotide and haem provisioning from Wolbachia in support of the larval growth and development of its nematode host.

Molecular insights into induced pluripotency mediated by the OCT4, SOX2, KLF and c-MYC gene regulatory network

Project description:Human somatic fibroblasts can be reprogrammed to induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells by exogenic expression of the Yamanaka factors (OCT4, SOX2, KLF4 and MYC) after about 1 month. To gain some insight into the early processes operative in fibroblast reprogramming, we profiled genome-wide transcription levels using Illumina microarrays in the starting donor cells-human foreskin fibroblast (HFF1) cells and at three time points after OSKM transduction (24 h, 48 h, 72 h), as well as two iPS cell lines (iPS2, iPS4) and hES cell lines (H1, H9). We show that within the context of the viral transduction reprogramming protocol, the donor cell response to viral transfection perturbs redox homeostasis, which induces oxidative damage on the donor cells' protein and DNA. This leads to activation of p53, senescence, and apoptosis, greatly reducing the efficiency of reprogramming. Total RNA obtained from HFF1 (human foreskin fibroblast) cells, OSKM-transduced HFF1 cells after 24h, 48h, 72h, undifferentiated hESCs, iPSCs.
