  • C/EBP Creates Elite Cells for Ipsc Reprogramming by Upregulating
    ARTICLES C/EBPα creates elite cells for iPSC reprogramming by upregulating Klf4 and increasing the levels of Lsd1 and Brd4 Bruno Di Stefano1,2,8,9,10, Samuel Collombet3,8, Janus Schou Jakobsen4,5,6,8, Michael Wierer7, Jose Luis Sardina1,2, Andreas Lackner1,2,9, Ralph Stadhouders1,2, Carolina Segura-Morales1,2, Mirko Francesconi1,2, Francesco Limone1,2, Matthias Mann7, Bo Porse4,5,6, Denis Thieffry3 and Thomas Graf1,2,10 Reprogramming somatic cells into induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) is typically inefficient and has been explained by elite-cell and stochastic models. We recently reported that B cells exposed to a pulse of C/EBPα (Bα0 cells) behave as elite cells, in that they can be rapidly and efficiently reprogrammed into iPSCs by the Yamanaka factors OSKM. Here we show that C/EBPα post-transcriptionally increases the abundance of several hundred proteins, including Lsd1, Hdac1, Brd4, Med1 and Cdk9, components of chromatin-modifying complexes present at super-enhancers. Lsd1 was found to be required for B cell gene silencing and Brd4 for the activation of the pluripotency program. C/EBPα also promotes chromatin accessibility in pluripotent cells and upregulates Klf4 by binding to two haematopoietic enhancers. Bα0 cells share many properties with granulocyte/macrophage progenitors, naturally occurring elite cells that are obligate targets for leukaemic transformation, whose formation strictly requires C/EBPα. The ability to reprogram somatic into pluripotent cells has revolu- complex process, where multiple players synergistically establish new tionized stem cell research with major implications for almost all transcriptional networks and remove epigenetic barriers14.

However, the quantification of energy transfer was limited by the intrinsic biexponential fluorescence decay of the donor CFP (lifetimes of 1.3 Ϯ 0.2 ns and 3.8 Ϯ 0.4 ns) and by the possibility of homodimer formation between two TK-CFP. In contrast, the heterodimerization of the transcriptional factor NF-E2 in the nucleus of live cells was quantified from the analysis of the fluorescence decays of GFP in terms of 1) FRET efficiency between GFP and DsRed chromophores fused to p45 and MafG, respectively, the two subunits of NF-E2 (which corresponds to an interchromophoric distance of 39 Ϯ 1 Å); and 2) fractions of GFP-p45 bound to DsRed-MafG (constant in the nucleus, varying in the range of 20% to 70% from cell to cell).

  • Metabolic Profiling of Cancer Cells Reveals Genome-Wide
    ARTICLE https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-019-09695-9 OPEN Metabolic profiling of cancer cells reveals genome- wide crosstalk between transcriptional regulators and metabolism Karin Ortmayr 1, Sébastien Dubuis1 & Mattia Zampieri 1 Transcriptional reprogramming of cellular metabolism is a hallmark of cancer. However, systematic approaches to study the role of transcriptional regulators (TRs) in mediating 1234567890():,; cancer metabolic rewiring are missing. Here, we chart a genome-scale map of TR-metabolite associations in human cells using a combined computational-experimental framework for large-scale metabolic profiling of adherent cell lines. By integrating intracellular metabolic profiles of 54 cancer cell lines with transcriptomic and proteomic data, we unraveled a large space of associations between TRs and metabolic pathways. We found a global regulatory signature coordinating glucose- and one-carbon metabolism, suggesting that regulation of carbon metabolism in cancer may be more diverse and flexible than previously appreciated. Here, we demonstrate how this TR-metabolite map can serve as a resource to predict TRs potentially responsible for metabolic transformation in patient-derived tumor samples, opening new opportunities in understanding disease etiology, selecting therapeutic treat- ments and in designing modulators of cancer-related TRs. 1 Institute of Molecular Systems Biology, ETH Zurich, Otto-Stern-Weg 3, CH-8093 Zurich, Switzerland.

In vivo, LV-10 cells do not cause graft-versus-host disease while mediating graft-versus-leukemia effect against adult acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Since pediatric AML (pAML) and adult AML are different on a genetic and epigenetic level, we investigate herein whether LV-10 cells also efficiently kill pAML cells. We show that the majority of primary pAML are killed by LV-10 cells, with different levels of sensitivity to killing. Transcriptionally, pAML sensitive to LV-10 killing expressed a myeloid maturation signature.

  • A MAFG-Lncrna Axis Links Systemic Nutrient Abundance to Hepatic Glucose Metabolism
    ARTICLE https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-020-14323-y OPEN A MAFG-lncRNA axis links systemic nutrient abundance to hepatic glucose metabolism Marta Pradas-Juni et al.# Obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus are global emergencies and long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are regulatory transcripts with elusive functions in metabolism. Here we show that a high fraction of lncRNAs, but not protein-coding mRNAs, are repressed during diet-induced 1234567890():,; obesity (DIO) and refeeding, whilst nutrient deprivation induced lncRNAs in mouse liver. Similarly, lncRNAs are lost in diabetic humans. LncRNA promoter analyses, global cistrome and gain-of-function analyses confirm that increased MAFG signaling during DIO curbs lncRNA expression. Silencing Mafg in mouse hepatocytes and obese mice elicits a fasting-like gene expression profile, improves glucose metabolism, de-represses lncRNAs and impairs mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) activation. We find that obesity-repressed LincIRS2 is controlled by MAFG and observe that genetic and RNAi-mediated LincIRS2 loss causes elevated blood glucose, insulin resistance and aberrant glucose output in lean mice. Taken together, we identify a MAFG-lncRNA axis controlling hepatic glucose metabolism in health and metabolic disease. #A full list of authors and their affiliations appears at the end of the paper.
