Project description:human naïve pluripotent stem cells and extended potential stem cells were both used to form blastoid models. We used scRNAseq to investigate the biases founding cell lines have on the formed models.
Project description:Bulk RNA-seq were performed on E14 EPSCs knockdown during blastoid formation with siRNA, as well as E14 ESC and EPSC treated with T0901317
Project description:Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a B cell malignancy characterized by a monoclonal proliferation of lymphocytes with co-expression of CD5, CD43 but not CD23. Typical MCL are associated with cyclin D1 overexpression, and blastoid MCL variants are associated with c-myc translocations. We have developed a murine model of MCL-like lymphoma by crossing Cdk4R24C mice with c-myc-3’RR transgenic mice. Cdk4R24C mice is a knock-in strain that express a Cdk4 protein resistant to inhibition by p16INK4a and other INK4 family members. Breeding Cdk4R24C mice with c-myc-3’RR transgenic mice prone to develop aggressive Burkitt lymphoma-like lymphoma leads in c-myc/Cdk4R24C mice to development of clonal blastoid MCL-like lymphoma. A defect of the INK4-Cdk4 checkpoint can participate to lymphomagenesis in conjunction with additional alterations of cell cycle control, a situation which might be reminiscent of the development of human blastoid MCL. B splenocytes from 4 c-myc/Cdk4(R24C) lymphoma mice and 4 wt mice were investigated.
Project description:Extended pluripotent or expanded potential stem cells (EPSCs) possess the superior developmental potential to embryonic stem cells (ESCs). However, the molecular underpinning of their in vitro maintenance is not well defined. We comparatively studied transcriptome, chromatin accessibility, active histone modification chromatin marks and relative proteomes of ESCs and the two well-established EPSCs to probe the molecular foundation of their unique developmental potential. We found a great overlap in the transcriptomic and chromatin accessibility profiles and reliance on pluripotency factors Oct4, Sox2, and Nanog for self-renewal between ESCs and EPSCs. Importantly, we identified a subset of genomic, transcriptomic, and proteomic signatures that distinguish EPSCs from ESCs in transcriptional and translational regulation as well as epigenetic and metabolic control. We also identified molecular differences between the two well-established EPSCs. Our study provides a rich resource for dissecting the regulatory network underlying the developmental potency of EPSCs and exploring alternative states of totipotency. This SuperSeries is composed of the SubSeries listed below.

Project description:Preimplantation embryo development is a precisely regulated process organized by maternally inherited and newly synthesized proteins. Recently, some studies have reported that blastocyst-like structures, named blastoids, can be generated from mouse ESCs (embryonic stem cells) or EPSCs (extended pluripotent stem cells). In this study, to explore the dynamic expression characteristics of proteins and their PTMs in mouse EPS blastoids, we revealed the protein expression profile of EPS-blastoids and metabolite characteristics by TMT-based quantitative mass spectrometry (MS) strategy. Furthermore, the protein phosphorylation sites were identified to show the phosphoproteomic analysis in blastoids compared with mouse early embryos. Above all, our study revealed the protein expression profile of EPS blastoids compared with mouse embryos during preimplantation development and indicated that glucose metabolism is key to blastoid formation.
