  • Genetic and Epigenetic Mechanisms of the Regulation of Mouse Embryonic Stem Cells Self-Renewal by the Pluripotency Transcription Factor Nanog
    Genetic and epigenetic mechanisms of the regulation of mouse embryonic stem cells self-renewal by the pluripotency transcription factor Nanog Victor HEURTIER Thèse de doctorat de Biologie Dirigée par Pablo NAVARRO GIL Laboratoire Epigénétique des cellules souches – Institut Pasteur Sorbonne Université Ecole doctorale Complexité du Vivant (ED 515) Présentée et soutenue publiquement le 18/09/2018 Devant un jury composé de : Président : Pr MOUCHEL-VIELH Emmanuèle, Professeur Rapporteur : Dr SAVATIER Pierre, Directeur de Recherche Rapporteur : Dr RADA-IGLESIAS Alvaro, Chef d’équipe Examinateur : Dr AZUARA Veronique, Maître de conférences Examinateur : Dr PINSKAYA Marina, Maître de conférences Directeur de thèse : Dr NAVARRO GIL Pablo, Chef d’équipe Abstract Mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells are derived from the pre-implantation blastocyst and are able to maintain their pluripotent state through virtually limitless cell divisions in vitro. The study of the mechanisms regulating the specific features of ES cells led to the discovery of the transcription factors (TFs) governing their unique transcriptome. Among those TFs, Nanog plays a central role in the gene regulatory network that supports ES cells self-renewal. However, the molecular mechanisms by which Nanog exerts its functions are not fully elucidated. We adapted an inducible CRISPR activation (CRISPRa) system in mouse ES cells and demonstrated its functionality to stimulate transcription at endogenous loci. We then accurately determined the list of Nanog responsive genes using gain (CRISPRa cell line) and loss of function experiments and total RNA sequencing. Moreover, the DNA binding profiles of distinct pluripotency TFs were assessed genome-wide by chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) and sequencing upon Nanog depletion and revealed the importance of the latter in the regulation of the pluripotency network activity at thousands of loci.

  • 2008 Highlights
    001_026_LAR_Pres-High_2008:001-024 Pres/High/COO 6/9/09 3:47 PM Page 3 from the 2008 Annual Report HIGHLIGHTS OF THE YEAR Research Research at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory continues to flourish. This will surprise no one in the community of scientists, within which our reputation ranks among those of the very best life science research institutions worldwide. This fact was reflected once again in an annual survey by Thompson Scientific’s Essential Science Indicators, which reported in 2008 that CSHL is in the top 1% of institutions most cited in published research and that our faculty is ranked by peers among the top three in terms of its influence in shaping the fields of mole- cular biology and genetics. Much of this is due to the sound guidance of our research admin- istration, which con sists of a very effective team headed by Director of Research David L. Spector and includes Research Exec u tive Committee members Greg Han non, Scott Lowe, and Tony Zador, who receive outstanding administrative assistance from Sydney Gary and Walter Goldschmidts. The Laboratory’s achievements in 2008 are particularly noteworthy when considered in the context of the current funding environment. Against a backdrop of limited resources and a contraction in federal grant funding, scientists in all of the areas in which CSHL concen- trates—cancer, neuroscience, and plant biology—reported a steady stream of significant research results throughout the year. Although these are comprehensively described on our website, it is useful to briefly review a few among the many to illustrate the richness of our sci- entists’ cumulative achievements in 2008 and the continuing overall success of our research program.

Although the majority of cell signaling principles were initially derived from hormonal studies, its exponential growth has been supported by interdisciplinary inputs, e.g., from physics, chemistry, mathematics, statistics, and computational fields. As a result, cell signaling has grown out of scope for any general review. Here, we review how the messages are transferred from the first messenger (the ligand) to the receptor, and then decoded with the help of cascades of second messengers (kinases, phosphatases, GTPases, ions, and small molecules such as cAMP, cGMP, diacylglycerol, etc.). The message is thus relayed from the membrane to the nucleus where gene expression ns, subsequent translations, and protein targeting to the cell membrane and other organelles are triggered. Although there are limited numbers of intracellular messengers, the specificity of the response profiles to the ligands is generated by the involvement of a combination of selected intracellular signaling intermediates. Other crucial parameters in cell signaling are its directionality and distribution of signaling strengths in different pathways that may crosstalk to adjust the amplitude and quality of the final effector output.
