ABSTRACT

Mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells are permanent pluripotent cells derived from the inner cell mass of the blastocyst. These cells undergo self-renewing divisions while retaining the capacity to generate all types of fetal and adult cell lineages and to participate fully in embryonic development when reintroduced into a blastocyst . Mouse ES cells can be propagated in culture in the presence of leukemia inhibitor factor (LIF), which activates the gp130 signaling pathways, resulting in Jak-mediated Stat3 phosphorylation. Several studies have shown that Stat3 is one major player in this process . Other transcriptional regulators, such as Oct3/4 , Nanog , or Id1-3 , also participate in the maintenance of ES cell self-renewal, but Stat3 activation remains prominent because in the absence of LIF stimulation, endogenous expression of these factors is insufficient to sustain ES cell self-renewal. However, very little is known about the downstream target genes of activated Stat3 in ES cells. As their characterization could be of help to understand the molecular mechanisms underlying self-renewal, we used a microarray approach in this study to analyze gene profiling in ES cells with several repetitions of the experiments, allowing a robust statistical analysis of the results. To perform this approach, ES cells were first induced to differentiate upon LIF withdrawal, which led to the disruption of the signaling pathways lying downstream of gp130. To specifically target the stage when ES cells start losing their self-renewal potential without extensive engagement in differentiation, we characterized the earliest stage of appearance of mRNA-encoding germ layer markers and diminution of the ability of ES cells to generate in vitro embryoid bodies and blast cell colonies. In a more specific second strategy, we expressed a dominant-negative Stat3 mutant and identified several potential downstream Stat3 target genes. Comparison of the results obtained in the two independent microarray experiments revealed an overlap of several transcripts that are similarly regulated and are thus likely to participate in the Stat3-mediated self-renewal response.

MATERIALS AND METHODS

Earliest Stages of ES Cell Differentiation
% M- g$ n; h& \% Q8 p
To identify downstream Stat3 target genes specifically involved in self-renewal regulation, we first determined the time window when a consistent decrease in ES cell potential occurred without extensive differentiation. To this end, we used the previously described Gs2 ES cell line expressing the tetracycline regulatable dominant-negative form of Stat3, which induces the differentiation within 6 days . This Stat3F mutant differs from the wild-type protein by a mutation in the Y705 residue (Y705-F) and is believed to act by competitive inhibition of Stat3 phosphorylation at gp130 docking sites and, possibly, by sequestrating Stat3 partners in the cytoplasm. As shown in Figure 1A, Gs2 ES cells cultured under standard condition ( LIF/ON) formed characteristic round-shaped colonies, whereas morphological changes occurred 96 hours after LIF (–LIF) or tetracycline withdrawal (Tet OFF), with the presence of most large flattened differentiated colonies. To determine the time of engagement into differentiation in the two conditions, we also examined the expression of marker genes for the three germ layers . The ectoderm (FGF-5) and parietal and visceral endoderm (GATA-4) markers were detected 48 hours after Stat3F expression and increased during differentiation, whereas the mesoderm marker brachyury appeared later, at 72 hours (Fig. 1B). We also tested the ability of ES cells maintained for 24 or 48 hours without LIF or tetracycline to subsequently form EB3 and BC4 in the absence of LIF and the presence of tetracycline to avoid Stat3F expression during the differentiation step (Table 1). A decrease in BC4 formation was observed when the cells were precultured for 48 hours without tetracycline (55% of the control). More pronounced effects were seen when the cells were LIF-deprived for 48 hours because only 54% (EB3) and 35% (BC4) of the colonies were obtained. Overall, for a given duration of preculture, LIF deprivation is more potent than Stat3F expression for abrogating pluripotency. This feature, consistent with the morphology (Fig. 1A) and the gene expression level of differentiation markers and microarray data (Fig. 1B and see below), may reflect the already described partial inhibition of endogenous Stat3 by Stat3F ( and data not shown).

Taken together, these data demonstrate that pluripotency is lost by a significant proportion of ES cells after Stat3F expression or, to a greater extend, upon a 48-hour LIF removal. We thus chose to perform gene profiling within the first 48 hours of LIF deprivation or Stat3 activity inhibition.; {: N9 m5 x% q

Microarray Analysis After LIF Deprivation
7 j7 b& q) k/ |! C' i
We first analyzed the modulation of gene expression upon LIF removal for 16, 24, and 48 hours in the presence of tetracycline (Tet ON). For each time point, six independent hybridizations were performed. The data were globally normalized and filtered as described in the experimental procedure section. Among a total of 5,891 genes, 277 were identified as differentially expressed at least at one time point according to a Student’s t-test with a 99% confidence level (p  1.5), are given in Figure 2. Among those, several genes were expected to vary upon ES cells differentiation. We indeed found a decrease in mRNA levels of osteopontin (spp1) , activin beta-B (Inhbb) , and zinc finger protein 57 (zfp57)  and an increase in mesoderm-specific transcript (mest) mRNA. Other genes previously reported to vary (socs3 , zfp42/rex1 , and CD9 ) were also found but are not shown in Figure 2 because of a t-test p value above .01 (.02, .03, and .07, respectively). Interestingly, a decrease in Stat3 and socs3 expression, both described as Stat3 targets, was also found . These observations support evidence for a differentiation of ES cells and validate our approach. Several other genes whose expression has not previously been reported to vary were identified, some of which play an important role in the regulation of cell cycle or differentiation. For instance, mRNA levels of the helix-loop-helix (HLH) transcriptional regulators Id1 and Id2 were found to increase. This was also the case for mRNA-encoding cell-cycle regulators, such as the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p57kip2 and cyclin D3. In addition, this study also pointed to several genes encoding proteins that can interfere with signaling pathways such as transforming growth factor (TGF)-? or Wnt pathway, known to be important for the control of stem cells properties . This is the case for lefty1 (ebaf), a member of the TGF-? superfamily, whose expression increased after LIF removal, and for aes1 (grg5), encoding a groucho-like partner of Tcf/LEF transcription factors, the nuclear mediators of Wnt signaling , whose expression is diminished.& D5 }+ M) D5 H9 L* Z3 y

To analyze variations in gene expression induced by Stat3F (Tet OFF/ LIF), we followed the same time course and performed eight independent hybridizations for each time point (16, 24, and 48 hours). The data were processed as for the first experiment. Six hundred thirty-nine genes were found to be differentially expressed at least at one time point according to a Student’s t-test with a 99% confidence level (p  1.5-fold) are shown in Figure 3. With these criteria, we identified 12 downregulated genes, and among them, only 3 are known, namely fibronectin (fn1), asparagine synthetase (asns), and apolipoprotein E (apoE) (Fig. 3)., k6 C" i# W6 S

Overlap of the Two Microarray Experiments/ F3 s$ g* C5 N4 w

LIF-activated gp130 not only delivers a self-renewal signal mediated by Stat3 but also activates other pathways, such as Erk/mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase, which, on the contrary, seems to favor ES cell differentiation , implying that genes whose expression is modulated upon LIF withdrawal are not necessarily Stat3-regulated genes involved in the control of ES totipotency. To identify such genes, we crossed the data obtained by the two independent approaches. As mentioned earlier, Stat3F effect on ES differentiation and gene expression is weaker than that observed upon LIF withdrawal; we thus chose to compare the data of the microarray experiments on the basis of the statistical confidence in the modulation of gene expression rather than on the intensity of the observed variations. Comparison of the genes from clusters of upregulated (A, C, C’) and downregulated (B and D) genes obtained in the two experiments (Table 2) revealed an overlap of several similarly regulated genes (hereafter referred to as common genes), including, among others, both upregulated (Id1, Id2, and Lefty1) and downregulated (socs3, Inhbb, and aes1) genes., ]+ \$ ]( Y% q9 ]4 u% ^

We further validated the microarray-based findings in Gs2 cell line by real-time RT-PCR with transcripts encoding several common genes. As shown in Figure 4A, Lefty1, p57kip2, Id1, and Id2 mRNA levels increased whereas the expression of aes1 and inhbb was diminished, thus confirming the gene expression evolution drawn from micro array analysis, even though for most of the genes tested, the ratios obtained with RT-PCR assays were higher than those obtained with the chips. We also showed that our results are not restricted to a single ES cell line because aes1 and Id2 mRNAs undergo downregulation and upregulation, respectively, upon LIF withdrawal in IOUD2 and E14 ES cell lines (Fig. 4B).# C4 U9 S8 L' P3 z

Functional Stat3 Sites in the Promoter Region of aes1
. T! l4 l% H+ s) @! K
Because Stat3 acts mainly as a transactivator, direct Stat3 targets are presumably found among the downregulated group of mRNA. Interestingly, we found three potential STAT consensus sites upstream of the aes1 transcription initiation site: one GAS (TTCCCAGAA; –3485) and two degenerated sites (TTCT-GGGTA, –3455 and TTCACTCCA, –3446) . We assessed the functionality of these Stat3 sites by measuring the transcriptional activation of the luciferase gene under the control of the –3490 to –3419 region from aes1 promoter. Transient transfection of Stat3-overexpressing 293T cells led to twofold to threefold induction of luciferase activity from pAES1 plasmid, whereas no induction was observed when the three Stat3 sites were mutated (pAES1mut) (Fig. 5A). We then further evaluated whether Stat3 specifically binds to the region of the aes1 promoter containing these three sites in ES cells. Measurement of activated Stat3 by Western blot on nuclear extracts have shown that the nucleus of ES cells was cleared from activated Stat3 after 48 hours of LIF deprivation (data not shown). Analysis of the in vivo binding of Stat3 by ChIP assay revealed that Stat3 binds to the promoter of aes1 in LIF-stimulated ES cells (Fig. 5B; lane 1) whereas, as expected, deprivation of LIF for 48 hours abrogated the signal (Fig. 5B; lane 2). The specificity of this signal was confirmed by the absence of amplification when ChIP was performed with an irrelevant antibody (Fig. 5B, lanes 3 and 4). Taken together, these results show that Stat3 is able to bind the promoter of aes1 in ES cells and activates transcription from the Stat sites.

Luciferase activity was measured 48 hours after transfection and normalized with ?-galactosidase activity as an internal control. Values are means ± SE from three independent transfections. (B): Embryonic stem cells were LIF-starved for 48 hours and then restimulated for 15 minutes (lanes 1, 3, and 5). Polymerase chain reaction amplification with primers toward part of the aes1 promoter containing the putative STAT3 binding sites was performed on chromatin sample (INPUT, positive control) or on Stat3-immunoprecipitated or irrelevant immunoglobulin G-immunoprecipitated (negative control) chromatin samples (ChIP) as indicated.& J8 r' M- n1 w: L# s8 @
