Proteomic analysis of mouse oocytes identifies PRMT7 as reprogramming factor that replaces SOX2 in the induction of pluripotent stem cells

ABSTRACT: The inclusion of oocyte factors together with Yamanaka’s previously identified reprogramming factors (OCT4, SOX2, KLF4 with or without cMYC; OSK(M)) may facilitate the reprogramming process that leads to induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). We previously applied label-free LC-MS/MS analysis to search for such facilitators of reprogramming (reprogrammome), resulting in a catalog of 28 candidates that are (i) able to robustly access the cell nucleus, and (ii) shared between mature mouse oocytes and pluripotent embryonic stem (ES) cells. In the present study we hypothesized that our 28 reprogrammome candidates would also be (iii) abundant in mature mouse oocytes, (iv) depleted after oocyte-to-embryo transition, and (v) able to potentiate or replace the OSKM factors during iPSC reprogramming. Using LC-MS/MS and isotopic labeling methods we found that the abundance profiles of the 28 proteins was below that of known oocyte-specific and housekeeping proteins. Out of the 28 proteins only arginine methyltransferase 7 (PRMT7) presented a substantially changing profile during mouse embryogenesis and impacted on the conversion of mouse fibroblasts into iPSCs. PRMT7 indeed could very efficiently replace SOX2 in a factor-substitution assay yielding iPSCs. These findings show that proteomics can be used to prioritize the functional analysis of reprogrammome candidates.

The reprogramming process that leads to induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) may benefit from adding oocyte factors to Yamanaka's reprogramming cocktail (OCT4, SOX2, KLF4, with or without MYC; OSK(M)). We previously searched for such facilitators of reprogramming (the reprogrammome) by applying label-free LC-MS/MS analysis to mouse oocytes, producing a catalog of 28 candidates that are (i) able to robustly access the cell nucleus and (ii) shared between mature mouse oocytes and pluripotent emb ...[more]

Project description:The transformation of a fertilized oocyte into a multicellular embryo comprised of differentiated cells depends on the processing of genetic orders, first in the form of transcripts and then of proteins. Our current understanding of mouse development has greatly benefited from the analysis of transcripts as proxy for the proteins. However, the hexagonal-shaped free ribosomes that translate mRNAs into proteins are scarce during cleavage and do not become abundant until the morula-blastocyst stage. How accurate, then, is an understanding of mouse and more in general mammalian development that uses the analysis of transcripts as proxy for the proteins? This led us in this study to measure the proteome of seven preimplantation mouse stages (B6C3F1 x CD1), from oocyte to blastocyst, using 'spike-in' SILAC technology combined with high accuracy mass spectrometry (LTQ Orbitrap and Q-Exactive). The relative abundances of embryonic proteins were compared and contrasted with those of transcripts measured by RNA sequencing. A total of 6976 proteins were detected in at least the spike (precondition for determining the heavy/light peptide ratios in oocytes or embryos). Among these 6976 proteins, 4991 proteins were present in all developmental stages, and 1893 proteins were present in all replicates. Our tandem approach uncovered: 1) the different abundance profiles of proteome and transcriptome during the time of preimplantation development; 2) the different reciprocal associations of developmental stages (dendrograms) on the protein level as compared to the mRNA level; and 3) the different gene ontology terms overrepresented among the proteins that increase or decrease across adjacent stages, compared to mRNAs. In essence, the elaborate phasing of embryonic gene expression that has been known for mRNAs leaves an unsuspected footprint on the protein products of those mRNAs. This information facilitates the analysis of mammalian development in two important ways. First, it provides new insight into the regulation of the transition from the differentiated oocyte into the embryo, by identifying the subsets of proteins that accompany the passage from one embryonic stage to the next, which are likely composed of important regulators of the morphogenetic transitions. Second, our analysis provides a reference to determine the degree of ‘embryoness’ of entities produced via assisted reproductive technologies, cloning by somatic cell nuclear transfer, and even artificial gametes.
