Project description:The miR-290 and miR-302 clusters of microRNAs are highly expressed in naïve and primed pluripotent stem cells, respectively. Ectopic expression of the embryonic stem cell-specific cell cycle regulating (ESCC) family of microRNAs arising from these two clusters dramatically enhances the reprogramming of both mouse and human somatic cells to induced pluripotency. Here, we used genetic knockouts to dissect the requirement for the miR-290 and miR-302 clusters during the reprogramming of mouse fibroblasts into induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) with retrovirally introduced Oct4, Sox2, and Klf4. Knockout of either cluster alone did not negatively impact the efficiency of reprogramming. Resulting cells appeared identical to their embryonic stem cell counterparts. Notably miR-290 knockout cells showed a compensatory increase in miR-302 expression and the combined loss of both clusters blocked the formation of iPSCs. While rare double knockout clones could be isolated, they showed a dramatically reduced proliferation rate, a persistent inability to fully silence the exogenously introduced pluripotency factors, and a transcriptome distinct from individual miR-290 or miR-302 mutant ESC and iPSCs. Taken together, our data show that miR-290 and miR-302 are essential yet interchangeable in reprograming to the induced pluripotent state.
Project description:To define the role of miR-302-367 cluster in cardiac development, we overexpressed miR-302-367 cluster in mouse heart by using R26R-miR-302-367; Nkx2.5-Cre mice. This data set contains the microarrays examining gene expression in the hearts of R26R-miR-302-367; Nkx2.5-Cre mice at postnatal day 14. We overexpressed miR-302-367 cluster in developing mouse heart using Nkx2.5-Cre mouse line

Project description:To reprogram mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) to induced Pluripotent Stem Cells (iPSCs), we constructed the PiggyBac (PB) transposon carrying the four Yamanaka factor cDNAs controlled by a CAG promoter (PB-CAG-OCKS, Oct4, cMyc, Klf4 and Sox2). As the baseline reprogramming control, we transfected the PB-CAG-OCKS transposon into Oct4-reporter MEFs and plated the cells on STO feeder cells (4F-iPS). To examine the effects of miR-25 on reprogramming, in addition to the Yamanaka factors, we co-transfected the PB-CAG-OCKS plasmid with the PB-CAG-miR-25 plasmid and selected for puromycin resistance (2.0 mg/ml) (25-iPS). We then performed genome-wide gene expression microarray analysis on the iPS cells generated and compared the expression profiles to those of Oct4-reporter MEFs and wildtype ES cells.
Project description:we generate iPSCs from a common fibroblast cell source using either the Yamanaka factors (OCT4, SOX2, KLF4 and MYC) or the Thomson factors (OCT4, SOX2, NANOG and LIN28) and determined their genome-wide DNA methylation profiles. In addition to shared DNA methylation aberrations present in all our iPSCs, we identify Yamanaka-iPSC (Y-iPSCs)-specific and Thomson-iPSCs (T-iPSC)-specific recurrent aberrations. Bisulphite converted DNA from 9 iPS cells derived using Yamanaka factors (OSKM), 6 iPS cells derived using Thompson factors (OSLN), 2 parental fibroblasts and one embrionic ES cell were hybridised to the Illumina Infinium 450k Human Methylation Beadchip
