Comparison of gene expresion profile of 4 SC clones and 4 SI clones at different time points defined a stabilization competency signiture required for successful reprogramming Overall design: mRNA profilling 4 SI clones at 5 time points, 4 SC clones at 6 time points, and 3 feeder samples.
A late transition in somatic cell reprogramming requires regulators distinct from the pluripotency network.

View SamplesThe weekly turnover of the intestinal epithelium is driven by multipotent, Lgr5+, crypt base columnar cells (CBCs). In response to injury, however, Lgr5+ cells are lost but then re-emerge and are required for successful recovery. How these resurgent Lgr5+ stem cells arise is unclear. We transcriptionally profiled single cells from regenerating intestinal epithelia and identified a unique cell type we term the revival stem cell (rSC). rSCs are mutually exclusive to CBCs and are distinguished by elevated expression of cell survival and DNA repair genes. In homeostasis, rSCs are extremely rare, but nevertheless give rise to all the major cell types of the intestine including crypt-villus axes. After damage rSCs display a 20-fold, Yap-dependent, transient expansion, reconstitute the Lgr5+ CBC compartment and are required to regenerate a functional intestine. These studies define a unique stem cell phenotype that is mobilized by damage to reconstitute the intestinal epithelium. Overall design: Examination of regenerating mouse intestinal epithelium.
Single-cell transcriptomes of the regenerating intestine reveal a revival stem cell.

View SamplesEmbryonic stem cells are maintained in a self-renewing and pluripotent state by multiple regulatory pathways. Pluripotent-specific transcriptional networks are sequentially reactivated as somatic cells reprogram to achieve pluripotency. How epigenetic regulators modulate this process and contribute to somatic cell reprogramming is not clear. Here we perform a functional RNAi screen to identify the earliest epigenetic regulators required for reprogramming. We identify components of the SAGA histone acetyltransferase complex, in particular Gcn5, as critical regulators of reprogramming initiation. Furthermore, we show in mouse pluripotent stem cells that Gcn5 strongly associates with Myc and that upon initiation of somatic reprogramming, Gcn5 and Myc form a positive feed forward loop that activates a distinct alternative splicing network and the early acquisition of pluripotency-associated splicing events. These studies expose a Myc-SAGA pathway that drives expression of an essential alternative splicing regulatory network during somatic cell reprogramming. Overall design: Examination of expression level changes at D0 and D2 MEFs
Myc and SAGA rewire an alternative splicing network during early somatic cell reprogramming.
