Fusion of reprogramming factors alters trajectory of somatic lineage conversion

Project description:Simultaneous expression of Oct4, Klf4, Sox2, and cMyc induces pluripotency in somatic cells (iPSCs). Replacing Oct4 with the neuro-specific factor Brn4 leads to the transdifferentiation of fibroblasts into induced neural stem cells (iNSCs). However, Brn4 was recently found to induce a transient acquisition of pluripotency before establishing the neural fate. We employed genetic lineage tracing and found that induction of iNSCs with individual vectors leads to direct lineage conversion. In contrast, polycistronic expression produces a Brn4-Klf4 fusion protein that enables the induction of pluripotency. Our study demonstrates that a combination of pluripotency and tissue-specific factors allows for direct somatic cell transdifferentiation, bypassing the acquisition of a pluripotent state. This result has major implications for lineage conversion technologies, which hold potential for providing a safer alternative to iPSCs for clinical application both in vitro and in vivo.

Diverse development potency and metabolic shape of extended pluripotency are faithfully transferred to somatic cells via cell fusion reprogramming

Project description:Extended pluripotent stem cells (EPSCs) are a novel cell type derived from 8-cell stage embryo or conversion of pluripotent stem cells using a chemical cocktail that blocks the cell fate decision. Previous studies have defined various aspects of EPSCs including dual differentiational potency to both extraembryonic and embryonic lineages, their ability to directly transfer extended pluripotency to differentiated somatic cells by cell fusion remains unelucidated. Here, we sought to determine whether somatic cells could be reprogrammed and obtain extended pluripotency. In this study, newly derived EPSCs are fused with neural stem cells, which is somatic stem cells, by polyethylene glycol (PEG)-mediated method. The resulting hybrid cells exhibited pluripotential properties with upregulated EPSC-specific genes. Also, hybrid cells contributed to the embryonic and extraembryonic lineages in vivo and in vitro. RNA-sequencing analysis confirmed that the global gene expression pattern of hybrid cells are similar to EPSC while there is no expression of NSC markers, indicating complete erasure of somatic memory after fusion reprogramming. Lastly, EPSCs and hybrids exhibited a bivalent energy metabolism phenotype or more active oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) and glycolysis than NSCs. In conclusion, the extended pluripotency of EPSCs could be transferred to somatic cells through fusion-induced reprogramming.

Senescence impairs direct conversion of human somatic cells to neurons

Project description:Direct conversion from fibroblasts to neurons is a potential cell replacement therapy for neurological disorders, and a variety of combinations of transcription factors have been tried. We notice that the efficiency of conversion from aging fibroblasts was much lower than in early stage cells, which is consistent with the notion that cellular senescence impairs conversion of fibroblasts to neurons. Here, we found that the transient knockdown of the p16Ink4a/p19Arf locus was sufficient to convert human fibroblasts to neurons. Futhermore, expression of hTERT alone, another mechanism behind immortalization, also induced neuron conversion. Our results show that the acquisition of immortality is a crucial step for the conversion of human fibroblasts into induced neurons.

Bach2 regulates AID-mediated immunoglobulin gene conversion and somatic hypermutation in DT40 B cells

Project description:The transcription factor Bach2 is required for germinal center formation and somatic hypermutation (SHM) of immunoglobulins, both central to an efficient antibody-mediated immune response. Activation-induced cytidine deaminase (AID) initiates SHM and CSR in germinal centers and has potential to induce human B cell lymphoma. To understand the role of Bach2 in AID-mediated immunoglobulin gene diversification processes, we established a Bach2-deficient DT40 B cell line. We show that in addition to allowing SHM, Bach2 drives immunoglobulin gene conversion (GCV), an important AID-dependent antibody gene diversification process. We demonstrate that Bach2 promotes GCV by increasing the expression of AID. Importantly, we found that the regulation of AID is independent of Blimp-1 and that Bach2-deficient cells have altered expression of several genes regulating AID expression, stability and function. These results demonstrate that Bach2 has a previously unappreciated role in the production of high-affinity antibodies.

Novel kinase fusion oncogenes in post-Chernobyl radiation-induced pediatric thyroid cancers

Project description:Exposure to ionizing radiation during childhood markedly increases the risk of developing papillary thyroid cancer. We identified non-overlapping somatic driver mutations in all 26 cases of post-Chernobyl thyroid cancers we studied through candidate gene assays and next generation RNA-sequencing. We found that 22/26 harbored fusion oncogenes arising primarily through intrachromosomal rearrangements. Altogether 23/26 of the oncogenic drivers identified in this cohort aberrantly activate MAPK signaling, including the two novel somatic rearrangements ETV6-NTRK3 and AGK-BRAF. Two other tumors harbored distinct fusions leading to overexpression of the nuclear receptor PPARγ. A lower prevalence of fusion oncogenes was found in a cohort of pediatric thyroid cancers from children from the same geographical regions that were not exposed to radiation. Radiation-induced thyroid cancers are a paradigm of tumorigenesis driven by fusion oncogenes that activate MAPK signaling or, less frequently, a PPARγ-driven transcriptional program. Examination of transcriptome profiles and genetic somatic changes in thyroid cancer.
