Enhancing the Potency of Mouse Embryonic Stem Cells [BS-Seq]

ABSTRACT: Mouse naïve pluripotent stem cells (ESC) can contribute to all embryonic tissues and the germline, but rarely to the extra-embryonic tissues in chimeric embryos. Here we describe a novel advanced pluripotent stem cell (ASC) with higher potency, since a single ASC contributes very efficiently to the fetus, germline, yolk sac and the placental labyrinth in chimeras. ASCs were derived from blastocysts in two steps in a chemically defined medium with Activin A (ActA) and basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), followed by Wnt and BMP. Notably, ASCs exhibit a distinct transcriptome with the expression of both naïve pluripotent genes, as well as mesodermal somatic genes; Eomes, Eras, Tdgf1, Evx1, hand1, Wnt5a, and distinct repetitive elements. Established ESCs can also be readily and directly to ASCs. Importantly, ASCs exhibit a stable hypermethylated epigenome unlike the hypomethylated epiblast in blastocysts and naïve ESCs, indicating that ASCs might represent a state in between the naïve and primed states of pluripotency.

Distinct roles of Bdh2 in regulating embryonic stem cell fate

Project description:To further gain insights into the role of Bdh2 in cell fate decisions of mouse ESCs, we generated Bdh2 homozygous knockout mouse advanced pluripotent embryonic stem cell (ASC) and embryonic stem cell (ESC) lines by CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing technology. Bdh2 deficiency in ASCs/ESCs exhibited no effect on expression of core pluripotent transcription factors and alkaline phosphatase activity, suggesting dispensability of Bdh2 for self-renewal and pluripotency of embryonic stem cells. Notebly, Bdh2-knockout ASCs/ESCs exhibit higher expression of the endodermal somatic genes, Gata4, Gata6, Sox17,and also colocalizated with Oct4. Importantly, expression of key DNA methylation genes Dnmt3a, Dnmt3b and Dnmt1 decreased in Bdh2-knockout ASCs/ESCs. Overall, we provide insight on understanding of earliest cell fate decicion in ASCs/ESCs and a new avenue to create and preserve pioneer lineage precursors with pluripotency.

Activin A and BMP4 Signaling Expands Potency of Mouse Embryonic Stem Cells in Serum Free Media

Project description:Inhibitors of Mek1/2 and Gsk3b, known as 2i, and together with leukemia inhibitory factor, enhance the derivation of embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and promote ground-state pluripotency (2i/L-ESCs). However, recent reports show prolonged Mek1/2 suppression impairs the developmental potential of ESCs, and is rescued by serum (S/L-ESCs). In spite of the unclear roles of growth factors in serum, the coculture system has remained the gold standard. Here we show that culturing ESCs in Activin A, BMP4 and in the absence of MEK1/2 inhibitor (ABC/L medium) establishes stable ESCs, named advanced pluripotent stem cells derived from ESCs (esASCs). We demonstrate that esASCs contributed to germline lineages, full term chimeras and generated esASCs-derived mice by tetraploid complementation. We show that in contrast to 2i/L-ESCs, these esASCs display distinct molecular signatures and stable hypermethylated epigenome which is reversible and similar to S/L-ESCs. Importantly, we also derived novel ASCs (blASCs) from blastocysts in ABC/L medium. These blASCs are persisting at an intermediate state between naïve and primed state of pluripotency and stable hypermethylated epigenome. Our results provide insights into the derivation of novel ESCs with DNA hypermethylation from blastocysts in a chemically defined medium.

Derivation of formative-like pluripotent stem cells from mammalian embryos [ChIP-Seq]

Project description:Two phases of pluripotency, naïve and primed, have been captured in vitro and studied in details1. A third formative phase was recently proposed to exist between naïve and primed phases2. Formative pluripotency entails permissiveness for direct primordial germ cell (PGC) induction and competence for blastocyst chimeras, and is characterized by transcriptional and epigenetic features intermediate of naïve and primed pluripotency. To date, however, stable pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) harboring formative features haven’t been derived from early mammalian embryos. Here we develop a method which enabled the derivation and culture of stable formative-like embryonic stem cells (ESCs) from mouse blastocysts. Formative-like mouse ESCs share molecular features characteristic of early post-implantation epiblasts and are competent for PGC-like cell induction and blastocyst chimera formation. The same culture also supported the derivation of ESCs and transgene-free induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) from horse blastocysts and fibroblasts, respectively. Horse ESCs/iPSCs transcriptionally resembled mouse formative cells, and could also be directly induced into PGC-like cells. Formative-like horse iPSCs could efficiently chimerize horse, mouse, goat, sheep and pig embryos. Stable formative-like PSCs will be invaluable for studying mammalian pluripotency, and our method may be broadly applicable for the derivation of PGC and chimera competent PSCs from other mammalian species.

Influence of VEGF stimulation and serum deprivation on gene activation patterns of human adipose tissue-derived stromal cells

Project description:ASCs cultured in complete medium, ASCs cultured in serum serum-deprived medium, and ASCs stimulated with VEGF in serum-deprived medium were compared. Using microarray analysis, gene expression from the whole genome was compared between conditions. Compared to ASCs in complete medium, expression of 190 and 108 ASC genes were significantly regulated altered by serum deprivation and serum deprivation combined with VEGF, respectively. No significant differences in gene expression patterns between serum-deprived ASCs and serum-deprived ASC combined with VEGF stimulation were found. Genes most prominently and significantly up-regulated by both conditions were growth factors (IGF1, BMP6, PDGFD, FGF9), adhesion molecule CLSTN2, extracellular matrix related proteins like matricellular proteins SMOC2, SPON1 and ADAMTS12, and inhibitors of proliferation (JAG1). The most significantly down-regulated genes included matrix metalloproteinases (MMP3, MMP1), and proliferation markers (CDKN3) and GREM2, - a BMP6 antagonist.

A mass spectrometry survey of chromatin-associated proteins in pluripotency and early lineage commitment

Project description:Pluripotent Embryonic Stem Cells (ESCs) can be captured in vitro in different states, ranging from unrestricted ‘naïve’ to more developmentally constrained ‘primed’ pluripotency. Complexes involved in epigenetic regulation and key transcription factors have been shown to be involved in specifying these distinct states. In this study, we use proteomic profiling of the chromatin landscape in naive pluripotent ESCs, Epistem cells (EpiSCs) and early differentiated ESCs to survey the chromatin in naïve and primed pluripotency and during differentiation. We provide a comprehensive overview of epigenetic complexes situated on the chromatin and identify proteins associated with the maintenance and loss of pluripotency. The findings presented here indicate major compositional alterations of epigenetic complexes starting from ESC priming onwards. Our results contribute to the understanding of ESC differentiation and provide a framework for future studies of lineage commitment of ESCs.

Extrafollicular IgD+ B cells Generate IgE Antibody Secreting Cells in the Nasal Mucosa

Project description:Here we describe the dynamics underlying the generation of IgE-antibody secreting cells (ASC) in human nasal polyps (NP), mucosal tissues rich in ASC without germinal centers (GC). Using VH next generation sequencing, we identified an extrafollicular (EF) mucosal IgD+ naïve-like intermediate B cell population with high connectivity to the mucosal IgE ASC. Mucosal IgD+ B cells, express germline epsilon transcripts and predominantly co-express IgM. However, a small but significant fraction co-express IgG or IgA instead which also show connectivity to ASC IgE. Phenotypically, NP IgD+ B cells display an activated profile and molecular evidence of BCR engagement. Transcriptionally, mucosal IgD+ B cells reveal an intermediate profile between naïve B cells and ASC. Single cell IgE ASC analysis demonstrates lower mutational frequencies relative to IgG, IgA, and IgD ASC consistent with IgE ASC derivation from mucosal IgD+ B cell with low mutational load. In conclusion, we describe a novel mechanism of GC-independent, extrafollicular IgE ASC formation at the nasal mucosa whereby activated IgD+ naïve B cells locally undergo direct and indirect (through IgG and IgA), IgE class-switch.

NANOG alone induces germ cells in primed epiblast in vitro by activation of enhancers [microarray]

Project description:Nanog, a core pluripotency factor in the inner cell mass of blastocysts, is also expressed in unipotent primordial germ cells (PGC) in mice1, where its precise role is yet unclear2-4. We investigated this in an in vitro model, where naïve pluripotent embryonic stem cells (ESCs) cultured in bFGF/ActivinA develop as epiblast-like cells (EpiLCs), and gain competence for PGC-like fate5. Consequently, bone morphogenetic protein (BMP4), or ectopic expression of key germline transcription factors Prdm1/ Prdm14/ Tfap2c, directly induce PGC-like cells (PGCLCs) in EpiLCs, but not in ESCs6-8. Here we report an unexpected discovery that Nanog alone can induce PGCLCs in EpiLCs, independently of BMP4. We propose that following the dissolution of the naïve ESC pluripotency network during establishment of EpiLCs9,10, the epigenome is reset for cell fate determination. Indeed, we found genome-wide changes in NANOG binding pattern between ESCs and EpiLCs, indicating epigenetic resetting of regulatory elements. Accordingly, we show that NANOG can bind and activate enhancers of Prdm1 and Prdm14 in EpiLCs in vitro; BLIMP1 (encoded by Prdm1) then directly induces Tfap2c. Furthermore, while SOX2 and NANOG promote the pluripotent state in ESCs, they show contrasting roles in EpiLCs since Sox2 specifically represses PGCLC induction by Nanog. This study demonstrates a broadly applicable mechanistic principle for how cells acquire competence for cell fate determination, resulting in the context-dependent roles of key transcription factors during development.
