4 a% D$ R" o; n- ^      Differentiation of embryonic stem cells (ESCs) into neurons requires a high level of transcriptional regulation. To further understand the transcriptional regulation of neural differentiation of ESCs, we used oligonucleotide microarray to examine the gene expressions of the guided differentiation (GD) model for dopaminergic (DA) neurons from mouse ESCs. We also determined the gene expression profiles of the random differentiation (RD) model of mouse ESCs into embryoid bodies. From K-means clustering analysis using the expression patterns of the two models, most of the genes (1,282 of 1,884 genes ) overlapped in their expression patterns. Six hundred twenty-two differentially expressed genes (DEGs) from the GD model by random variance F-test were classified by their critical molecular functions in neurogenesis and DNA replication (Gene Ontology analysis). However, 400 genes among GD-DEGs (64.3%) showed a high correlation with RD in Spearman's correlation analysis (Spearman's coefficient ps  .6). The genes showing marginal correlation (¨C.4 < ps < .6) were present in the early stages of differentiation of both GD and RD, which were non-specific to brain development. Finally, we distinguished 66 GD-specific genes based on ps  ¨C.4, the molecular functions of which were related mainly to vesicle formation, neurogenesis, and transcription factors. From among these GD-specific genes, we confirmed the expression of Serpini1 and Rab33a in P19 differentiation models and adult brains. From these results, we identified the specific genes required for neural differentiation by comparing gene expressions of GD with RD; these would potentially be the highly specific candidate genes necessary for differentiation of DA neurons.

Development of the mammalian central nervous system (CNS) is a complex process involving an orchestrated regulation of structural and regulatory genes through differentiation stages of multipotent stem cells into neurons . Numerous efforts have been made to induce ESCs into neurons by regulating transcriptions of critical genes in the hope of using these cells for therapy for neurological disorders such as Parkinson's disease.

During the step-wise differentiation into DA neurons, we can follow the levels of differentiation: pluripotent stem cell (ESC, stage I), committed multipotent precursor cells (embryoid body . For example, in-depth examinations of gene expression profiles of ESCs and their differentiated progenies are likely to reveal information about the "stemness" as well as the pathways involved in neural differentiation. These relevant genes, once identified, are good candidates to investigate for their role in neural differentiation. However, the guided differentiation (GD) of ESCs is difficult to control, resulting in a heterogeneous population of fully differentiated neurons. To correctly identify the specific genes related to neural differentiation, we need to minimize the contributions from non-neuronal and undifferentiated cells in the samples./ ]- F5 ?9 o) G) ^: g0 m7 `

If the ESCs are induced to enter into the differentiation pathway in vitro, they can form EBs with all types of mesodermal, hematopoietic, endothelial, muscle, and neural lineages . Thus, EB formation is the best in vitro model system for studying early lineage determination and organogenesis in mammals; this system will prove to be a useful tool for identifying developmental genes whose expression is restricted to the particular lineages.# h0 R5 v9 x9 j* |8 C% @$ d

We profiled the transcriptions of two differentiation models: GD into DA neurons and random differentiation (RD) into EBs. We could find the marked correlations between the two models but not the specific expressions of genetic markers of each model. We have compared the sequential expression patterns of GD and RD models by Spearman's correlation analysis in order to find marked overlap between them. Finally, we subtracted those overlapped, common profiles from GD profiles to select GD-specific genes. From this result, we could propose the sizable overlaps between two differentiation models and select the most likely candidate genes for GD for further studies of their roles in neural differentiations.

Briefly, undifferentiated ESCs (stage I) were grown on gelatin-coated tissue-culture plates in knockout (KO)-Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium (DMEM) media. To induce EB formation (stage II), the cells were dissociated into a single-cell suspension and plated onto nonadherent bacterial culture dishes at a density of 2.5 x 104 cells per cm2 in the KO medium. After 4 days, the cells were transferred to the original tissue-culture dish in a serum-free ITSF (insulin/transferrin/selenium/fibronectin) medium to select the nestin-positive cells (stage III). After 6 days of selection, the cells were expanded (stage IV) by transferring to the plate coated with polyornithine and laminin in N2 medium supplemented with laminin/basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF)/sonic hedgehog/fibroblast growth factor 8. After 6 days, bFGF was removed to induce the differentiation (stage V) in N2 medium supplemented with laminin and ascorbic acid for 6 days. For RD, EBs were dissociated and plated onto a tissue-culture dish in DMEM with fetal bovine serum and antibiotics for indicated periods.; E1 e' T2 w0 _

Total RNAs from undifferentiated mouse ESCs were used as a reference group in all experiments. Three independent biological replicates were taken at four stages of DA differentiation. For the RD model, three biological replicates were made at days 4, 8, 15, and 21 to extract total RNA. Total RNA was prepared by using TriZol reagent (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, http://www.invitrogen.com). The array used in this experiment was the Macrogen Mouse Oligo 11K Chip (Macrogen Inc., Seoul, Korea, http://www.macrogen.com) as described previously .

Using GD and RD models of ESCs, we tried to profile the genome-wide gene expression using long oligonucleotide microarray containing 11,376 genes in 13,680 spots. Total RNAs from each stage of differentiating cells (stage II¨CV for GD and EB day 4¨C21 for RD) were hybridized with those of mouse ESCs as a reference in biological triplicates for each dataset. From the 24 microarray experiments in total, we could have the gene expression profiles of four stages in two datasets for each differentiation model.

To capture expression profiles of GD and RD as a whole, K-means clustering analysis was applied to GD and RD normalized log activation fold ratios using the Euclidean distance metric. Genes showing minimal variation across the set of arrays were excluded from the clustering analysis. We took the mean value from the gene expression ratio of each of the three independent experiments and selected genes whose expression levels differed by at least a 1.5-fold change at one or more stages. From all datasets of GD and RD models, 1,884 genes showed more than a 1.5-fold change in any one of eight stages. In the cluster analysis, global patterns of whole datasets could be visualized and summarized (Fig. 2). We could divide all 1,884 genes into seven clusters based on K-means clustering (supplemental online data B) after trying different numbers of clusters to find minimal numbers of RD- and GD-specific clusters. Four out of seven clusters including 1,282 genes (68.0%) showed exactly the same patterns of upregulation (C3 and C5) and downregulation (C6 and C7). The overall pattern of gene expression of two differentiation models reflected a sizable overlapping gene expression between GD and RD. The other two clusters (308 genes) showed the elevation in their gene expression in RD but not in GD. Only one cluster, C4, containing 294 genes (15.6%), showed the upregulated pattern in a GD-specific way.

' S) S' p( w) F6 a( G/ r( YFor the common features, C6 and C7 clusters contained the downregulated genes in both types of differentiation, which were mostly related to development and stem cell markers like Pou5f1 (Oct4) and Nanog (Nanog homeobox). As we expected, any kind of differentiation might lead to a loss of stem cell characteristics such as proliferation and cell cycle. On the other hand, the genes in the C3 and C5 clusters were upregulated in both differentiation models. More interestingly, the genes in C3, like Fst (follistatin) and Notch3 (Notch gene homolog 3), were related to development, whereas the C5 cluster contained genes, such as Elavl4 (ELAV -like 4, HuD) and Pfn2 (profilin 2), related to the neuronal functions. The genes in the C3 and C5 clusters reflect that a certain part of the mechanism regulating neural differentiation could be overlapped with any other types of differentiation.

As an example of common features shared between the two models, we found that Dnmt3-â (DNA (cytosine-5-)-methyltransferase 3-ß) and Dnmt3l (DNA (cytosine-5-)-methyltransferase 3-like) were downregulated in both the GD and RD models (C6 and C7 clusters in Fig. 2, respectively). Global regulation of transcription through chromatin regulation like DNA methylation seems to be an essential mechanism in the early stages of mammalian development  by RT-PCR in both GD and RD (Fig. 3B and 3D). In a series of analyses on the gene expression of the two differentiation models, DNA methylation and chromatin regulations occurred in the early stage of differentiation. As shown in supplemental online data C, for the genes related to chromatin regulation, the global regulation through chromatin seemed to be a general mechanism for the developmental regulation of gene expression, especially in the early stages of differentiation.

For each RD and GD model, the multivariate permutation test was applied to evaluate the statistical significance of changes in gene expression. Qualite-quantile plot analysis showed that the residual quantiles deviated from the theoretic quantiles (supplemental online data D). Hence, we regarded the distribution of the data as abnormal . Although the F-test was used, the multivariate permutation test is nonparametric and does not require the assumption of normal distributions. By random variance F-test analysis, we selected 622 DEGs (supplemental online data E). Functionally, the genes from GD DEG were classified as being related to DA neurons, neurogenesis, and transcription factors (supplemental online data F). However, 188 genes were differentially expressed in the RD model (supplemental online data G). Because triplicate genes in RD show a larger variance of expression, the number of DEGs in RD is smaller than in GD. Moreover, 69 genes among the 188 RD-related genes were also found in GD DEGs (supplemental online data G).

To characterize the DEGs of each model, we analyzed gene ontology (GO) categories of the DEGs in GD and RD . By analyzing the GO groups, rather than the individual genes, we were able to reduce the number of tests conducted and enable findings among biologically related genes to reinforce each other (Table 1). In GD, the genes related to neurogenesis, organ development, and DNA replication show a significant variance. On the other hand, the genes related to cell adhesion, cell communication, and structural molecular activity show a dynamic change in RD. The 69 common genes in GD and RD are related to "development (GO: 0007275)" and "organelle organization and biogenesis (GO: 0006996)" categories in GO analysis.

Spearman's correlation is a nonparametric test for measuring the strength of the association between the two variables. We compared the expression profiles of the 622 DEGs in GD with an RD profile based on the Spearman's correlation coefficient (ps). For example, 400 genes from the previously mentioned 622 DEGs (64.3%) showed similar expression patterns in the two models (ps  .6, supplemental online data E). As we observed in K-means clustering (Fig. 2), half of the GD-DEGs were also disregulated in the RD model.

7 L' f$ ^7 _. }For example, Sox4 is a member of the SOX (SRY-related HMG-box) family of transcription factors involved in the regulation of embryonic development and in the determination of the cell fate . Whereas Rest and Nestin were downregulated in EB and NLCs, Sox4 could be induced in EB and NLCs (Fig. 4A). We also tried to confirm the expression of genes related to GD-DEGs, using in vivo embryonic mouse brains, by real-time RT-PCR. Like in vitro differentiation models, Sox4 started to express in the brain of embryonic day 11 (E11) mouse embryos, whereas Rest and Nestin were downregulated in embryonic brain after E15 (Fig. 4B). However, in other mouse tissues like spleen and kidney, we were able to detect the expression of Sox4 more than any part of the brains (Fig. 4C). These results revealed that some genes reported to be GD-related could be non-specific to brain and neural differentiation. Although there were variations within neural tissues, Sox4 seems to have an overlapping function in both the neural and non-neural cell types.% K" J( |& B1 L" P" N

First, we used statistical analysis to find DEGs from both groups, which were categorized according to their characteristics of GD or RD. Whereas the genetic markers for GD and RD were exclusively expressed in the two models, the overall expression patterns looked similar to each other in K-means clustering. More than half of the GD-DEGs were also found to be similarly changed in RD. We proposed that those overlaps might originate from the heterogeneous cell populations and should be subtracted from the GD-DEGs. The final GD-specific gene list contained only 66 of 11,376 genes in the microarray analysis; these genes were related mainly to transport and transcriptional regulation. Even though we need to further determine the functions of these genes in DA neuron differentiation, this approach has revealed more information about the guided neural differentiation and its role in neural differentiation as a whole.
