Project description:Epigenetic modifications play a crucial role in learning, memory and neurogenesis, but the study of its role in early neuroectoderm commitment from pluripotent inner cell mass is relatively lack. Here we utilized the system of directed neuroectoderm differentiation from human embryonic stem cells and identified KDM6B, an enzyme responsible to erase H3K27me3, was the most upregulated enzyme of histone methylation during neuroectoderm differentiation by transcriptome analysis. We then constructed KDM6B-null embryonic stem cells and found strikingly, the cells with KDM6B knockout exhibited much higher neuroectoderm induction efficiency. Furthermore, we constructed a serial of embryonic stem cell lines knocking out the other H3K27 demethylase KDM6A, and depleting both KDM6A and KDM6B, respectively. These cell lines together confirmed KDM6 impeded early neuroectoderm commitment. By RNA-seq, we found a panel of WNT activation genes significantly downregulated while WNT inhibiting genes significantly upregulated upon depletion of KDM6. Functional rescue assayed that WNT agonist could abolish the differential neuroectoderm induction due to manipulating KDM6 demonstrated WNT was the major downstream of KDM6 during early neural induction. Taken together, our findings illustrated the important role of histone methylation modifier KDM6A and KDM6B in neuroectoderm differentiation and provided additional insights into the precise epigenetic regulation in different stage of neurogenesis.

By RNA-seq, we found that the expression levels of a panel of WNT genes were significantly affected upon depletion of KDM6. Importantly, the result that WNT agonist and antagonist could abolish the differential neuroectoderm induction due to manipulating KDM6 further demonstrated that WNT was the major downstream of KDM6 during early neural induction. Moreover, we found that the chemical GSK-J1, an inhibitor of KDM6, could enhance neuroectoderm induction from both embryonic stem cells and induced pluripotent stem cells. Taken together, our findings not only illustrated the important role of the histone methylation modifier KDM6 in early neurogenesis, providing insights into the precise epigenetic regulation in cell fate determination, but also showed that the inhibitor of KDM6 could facilitate neuroectoderm differentiation from human pluripotent stem cells.

Project description:H3K27me3 represses developmental genes at initial embryonic stages. The KDM6 family, comprised of UTX and JMJD3, are the only known proteins that demethylate H3K27me3 and they are hypothesized to catalyze the rapid removal of repressive chromatin in early mammalian development. However, we report that male embryos carrying mutations in both Utx and Jmjd3 survive to term and appear phenotypically normal at mid-gestation. We utilize several cell culture models to demonstrate that H3K27me3 is lost from repressed promoters in the absence of active KDM6 demethylation. Our data indicate that KDM6 H3K27me3 demethylation is not essential in the early embryo and that H3K27me3 loss from developmental genes occurs via novel mechanisms. Examination of 2 different histone modifications (H3K27me3 and H3K4me3) in 2 cell types (ES and retinoic acid treated ES cells) comparing WT to UTX and JMJD3 KOs. In ES cells, there are two WT replicates and two KO replicates, both measuring H3K27me3, and one replicate measuring input. In retinoic acid treatment, there are two replicates each for measuring H3K27me3 and H3K4me3 in WT and KO cell lines, and one replicate measuring input.

Project description:H9 human pluripotent stem cells with a stable Retinoblastoma-like protein 2 (Rbl2) knockdown or cells expressing a control Scramble shRNA were differentiated to neuroectoderm by inhibiting Activin/Nodal signalling and treating with Fgf2. Cells were collected at day 4 of differentiation and analysed for changes in global gene expression by microarray.

Project description:To understand the function of CHD8 in human ESC and neural differentiation, we generated the CHD8 knockout human ESCs and characterize the effect of loss-of-function of CHD8 on pluripotency maintenance and neuroectoderm determination by utilizing an efficient neuroectoderm differentiation protocol. Samples from hESC, CHD8KO_hESC and their derived-neural progenitor cells (hNPC) were collected for high-throughput sequencing with at least two replicates for each sample. Differentially expressed genes analysis showed loss of CHD8 affect the genes in ESC and NPC.

Project description:Thioneins are cysteine-rich, evolutionary conserved apoproteins that regulate divalent metal homeostasis by virtue of their metal-chelation properties resulting in the ligand-bound metallothionein state. Previous studies have demonstrated a transient upregulation (102- 103-fold) of a cluster of metallothionein genes as part of a transcriptional response to a class of histone demethylase tool compounds targeting human Fe2+ dependent ketoglutarate oxygenases KDM6A (UTX) and KDM6B (JmjD3). Exposure of multiple myeloma cells to the prototypic bioactive KDM6 inhibitor GSK-J4 induces apoptotic cell death and transcriptomic profiles that are dominated by metal and metabolic stress response signatures. We here investigate the hypothesis that the metal-chelating property of GSK-J4 provides the means for transport and intracellular release of Zn2+ leading to a metallothionein transcriptomic response signature. Live cell imaging upon myeloma cell exposure to GSK-J4 shows a transient increase of intracellular free Zn2+ concentrations upon KDM6 inhibitor treatment consistent with a model of inhibitor mediated metal transport. Comparison of KDM6 inhibitor and ZnSO4 treatments in the presence or absence of metal chelators show that both treatment conditions induce different transcription factor repertoires with an overlapping MTF1 transcriptional regulation responsible for metallothionein and metal ion transport regulation.

Project description:The neural fate commitment of pluripotent stem cells requires repression of extrinsic inhibitory signals and activation of intrinsic positive transcription factors. However, it remains elusive how these two events are integrated to ensure appropriate neural conversion. Here, we show that Oct6 functions as an essential positive factor for neural differentiation of mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs), specifically during the transition from epiblast stem cells (EpiSCs) to neural progenitor cells (NPCs). Chimera analysis showed that Oct6 knockdown leads to markedly decreased incorporation of ESC in neuroectoderm. By contrast, Oct6-overexpressing ESC derivatives preferentially contribute to neuroectoderm. Genome-wide ChIP-seq and RNA-seq analyses indicate that Oct6 is an upstream activator of neural lineage genes, and also a repressor of BMP and Wnt signalings. Our results establish Oct6 as a critical regulator that promotes neural commitment of pluripotent stem cells through a dual role: activating internal neural induction programs and antagonizing extrinsic neural inhibitory signals. RNA-seq was performed to examine Oct6 function in ESC neural differentiation at Day2, Day4 and Day6 after dox induction. On Day4 EB, ChIP-seq assay was ultilized to characterize the targets of Oct6.

Project description:The discovery of the first histone demethylase in 2004 (LSD1/KDM1) opened new avenues for the understanding of how histone methylation impacts cellular functions. A great number of histone demethylases have been identified since, which are potentially linked to gene regulation as well as to stem cell self-renewal and differentiation. KDM6A/UTY and KDM6B/JMJD3 are both H3K27me3/2-specific histone demethylases, which are known to play a central role in regulation of posterior development, by regulating HOX gene expression. So far nothing is known about the role of histone lysine demethylases (KDMs) during early hematopoiesis. We are studying the role of KDM6A and KDM6B on self-renewal, global gene expression and on local and global chromatin states in embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and during differentiation. In order to completely abrogate KDM6 demethylase activity in ESCs we employed a specific inhibitor (GSK-J4, Kruidenier et al. 2012). Treatment of ESCs with GSK-J4 had no effect on viability and proliferation . However, ESC differentiation in the presence of GSK-J4 was completely abrogated. In conclusion we show that ESC differentiation is completely blockend in the absence of any H3K27 demethylase activity. We used microarrays to detail the global gene expression program of genes which are differentially expressed during the early differentiation of ESC derived embryoid bodies (EBs) in the presence of GSK-J4 (KDM6 Inhibitor). ESCs (R1) have been cultured and differentiated in the presence of GSK-J4 a KDM6 specific inhibitor.
