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.

Project description:Human embryonic stem cells (HESCs) herald tremendous promise for the production of clinically useful cell types for the treatment of injury and disease. Numerous reports demonstrate their differentiation into definitive endoderm (DE) cells, the germ layer from which pancreatic β cells and hepatocytes arise, solely from exposure to a high dose of recombinant Activin/Nodal. Here, we show that combining a second related ligand, BMP4, in combination with Activin A yields 15 to 20% more DE as compared to Activin A alone. The addition of recombinant BMP4 accelerates the downregulation of pluripotency factors, particularly SOX2, and results in upregulation of endogenous BMP2 and BMP4, which in turn leads to elevated levels of phospho-SMAD1/5/8 over the next three days of differentiation. Combined Activin A and BMP4 treatment also leads to an increase in the expression of DE genes CXCR4, SOX17 and FOXA2 when compared to Activin A addition alone. Comparative microarray studies between DE cells harvested on day 3 of differentiation further reveal a novel set of genes upregulated in response to initial BMP4 exposure. Several of these, including APLNR, LRIG3, MCC and LZTS1, are expressed either in the mouse primitive streak, the site of DE formation, or in nascent DE itself. Thus, this synergism between Activin A and BMP4 during the in vitro differentiation of HESC into DE suggests a complex interplay between BMP and Activin/Nodal signaling during the in vivo allocation and expansion of the endoderm lineage. 3 biological replicates of 3-day ActivinA treated HES3 human stem cell culture were compared to 3-day ActivinA+Bmp4 treated HES3 human stem cell culture and observed for differential genes expression

Project description:We used RNA-Seq to analyse the interactions between Bmp4 and Wnt at a genome-wide level in EpiSCs treated for 48 hrs with Bmp4 and/or Wnt3a in the presence of Activin and bFGF. Control EpiSC were cultured in the presence of IWP2 for 48h. Cells were cultured with BMP4 with or without IWP2; Wnt3a and Wnt3a with BMP4 for 48h.

Project description:Bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signaling is known to support differentiation of human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) into mesoderm and extraembryonic lineages, whereas other signaling pathways can largely influence this lineage specification. Here, we set out to reinvestigate the influence of ACTIVIN/NODAL and fibroblast growth factor (FGF) pathways on the lineage choices made by hESCs during BMP4-driven differentiation. We show that BMP activation, coupled with inhibition of both ACTIVIN/NODAL and FGF signaling, induces differentiation of hESCs, specifically to M-NM-2hCG hormone-secreting multinucleated syncytiotrophoblast and does not support induction of embryonic and extraembryonic lineages, extravillous trophoblast, and primitive endoderm. It has been previously reported that FGF2 can switch BMP4-induced hESC differentiation outcome to mesendoderm. Here, we show that FGF inhibition alone, or in combination with either ACTIVIN/NODAL inhibition or BMP activation, supports hESC differentiation to hCG-secreting syncytiotrophoblast. We show that the inhibition of the FGF pathway acts as a key in directing BMP4-mediated hESC differentiation to syncytiotrophoblast. Human embryonic Stem Cells (hESCs) were treated under defined conditions (N2B27) with BMP4 (B), SB431542 (SB) (ACTIVIN/NODAL inhibitor), SU5402 (SU) (FGFR1 inhibitor), FGF2 (F) either alone or in various combinations as mentioned, followed by isolation of total RNA.
