Description
Human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) provide an invaluable source for regenerative medicine; but are limited by proficient lineage specific differentiation. Here we reveal that hiPSCs derived from dermal skin fibroblasts (Fib) vs. human cord blood (CB) cells exhibit equivalent and indistinguishable pluripotent properties, but harbor important propensities for neural and hematopoietic lineage differentiation, independent of reprogramming factors used. Genes associated with germ layer specification were identical in both Fib or CB derived iPSCs; whereas patterns of lineage specific marks emerge upon differentiation induction of hiPSCs that were correlated to the cell type of origin used to create hiPSCs. Functionally, CB-iPSCs predominantly differentiate into hematopoietic cells and even adopt definitive hematopoiesis as evidenced by adult -globin positive red blood cell development whereas Fib-iPSCs possess enhanced neural capacity. These clear differentiation propensities come at the expense of other lineages and cannot be overcome with additional external stimuli for alternative cell fates. Moreover, these differences in developmental potential are encoded within cultures of CB vs. Fib derived hiPSCs that can be used to predict differentiation propensity.

Description
Human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) have been reported in naïve and primed states. However, the ability of human PSCs to generate mature cell types is the only imperative property for translational utility. Here, we reveal that the naïve state enhances self-renewal capacity while restricting lineage differentiation in vitro to neural default fate. Gene expression analyses indicate expression of multiple lineage associated transcripts in naïve hPSCs and thus failed to predict biased functional differentiation. Naïve hPSCs can be converted to primed allowing recovery of multilineage differentiation over long serial passage or immediately through suppression of OCT4 but not NANOG. To this end, we identified chemical inhibitors of OCT4 expression that acutely restore naïve hPSC differentiation. Our study identifies unique cell fate features and critical restrictions in human pluripotent states, and provides an approach to overcome these barriers that harness both efficient naïve hPSC growth whilst maintaining in vitro differentiation capacities essential for hPSC applications. Overall design: hPSC lines were transduced with shRNA lentiviruses in order to assess the effects of reducing NANOG and OCT4 gene expression on differention in the naïve state. shRNA expressing cells were sorted and then total RNA was extracted in order to perform transcriptome profiling by RNA-seq. Each experimental condition involves 2 technical replicates of 2 biological replicates (2 tech X 2 biol = 4 reads).

Description
Human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) have been reported in nave and primed states. However, the ability of human PSCs to generate mature cell types is the only imperative property for translational utility. Here, we reveal that the nave state enhances self-renewal capacity while restricting lineage differentiation in vitro to neural default fate. Gene expression analyses indicate expression of multiple lineage associated transcripts in nave hPSCs and thus failed to predict biased functional differentiation. Nave hPSCs can be converted to primed allowing recovery of multilineage differentiation over long serial passage or immediately through suppression of OCT4 but not NANOG. To this end, we identified chemical inhibitors of OCT4 expression that acutely restore nave hPSC differentiation. Our study identifies unique cell fate features and critical restrictions in human pluripotent states, and provides an approach to overcome these barriers that harness both efficient nave hPSC growth whilst maintaining in vitro differentiation capacities essential for hPSC applications.

Description
Direct cell fate conversion allows the generation of somatic cells that are otherwise difficult to obtain directly from patients. The clinical applicability of this approach depends on obtaining an initial source of somatic cells from adult patients that is easy to harvest, store, and manipulate for reprogramming. Here we have generated induced neural progenitor cells (iNPCs) from neonatal as well as peripheral blood from human adults using single factor OCT4 based reprogramming. Unlike fibroblasts that share molecular hallmarks of neural crest, direct OCT4 reprogramming of human blood could be facilitated by SMAD+GSK-3 inhibition to overcome restrictions on neural fate conversion. Blood derived (BD)-iNPCs functionally differentiate in vivo, and respond to guided differentiation in vitro to produce both glia (astrocytes and oligodendrocytes) and multiple neuronal subtypes including dopamine releasing DA neurons (CNS related) and nociceptive neurons (PNS). Furthermore, BD nociceptive neurons phenocopy chemotherapy induced neurotoxicity in a system suitable for high throughput drug screening. Our findings provide an easily accessible approach to generate human NPCs that harbor extensive developmental potential, enabling the study of clinically relevant neural diseases directly from patient cohorts.

Description
Obesity is linked to the development of metabolic disorders. Expansion of white adipose tissue (WAT) from hypertrophy of pre-existing adipocytes and/or differentiation of precursors into new mature adipocytes contributes to obesity. We found that Nck2 expression is largely restricted to WAT, raising the hypothesis that it may play a unique function in that tissue. Using mice lacking Nck2, we found that Nck2 regulates adipocyte hypertrophy thus contributing to increased adiposity and progressive glucose intolerance, insulin resistance and hepatic steatosis. These findings were recapitulated in humans such that Nck2 expression in omental WAT was inversely correlated with the degree of obesity. Mechanistically, Nck2 deficiency promoted the induction of an adipocyte differentiation program and signaling by the PERK-eIF2a-ATF4 pathway in agreement with a role for the unfolded protein response in adipogenesis. These findings uncover Nck2 as a novel regulator of adipogenesis and that perturbation in its functionality contributes to adiposity-related metabolic disorders. Overall design: Differential gene expression profile between epididymal white adipose tissue of Nck2-/- and Nck2+/+ mice by RNA sequencing (Illumina HiSEq 2000)

Description
The white adipose tissue (WAT) rapidly loses mass when mice are fed a diet containing trans-10, cis-12 conjugated linoleic acid (t10c12 CLA). A microarray analysis of WAT due to CLA feeding was performed to better define the processes and genes involved. WAT weight decreased by ca. 80% over 17 days of feeding a 0.5% t10c12 CLA diet. The lipid volume decreased by 90% and the number of adipocytes and total cells were reduced by15% and 47%, respectively. Microarray profiling of replicated pools of control and treated mice (n=140) at seven time points over the 17day feeding indicated between 2798 to 4318 genes showed mRNA changes of 2-fold or more. Transcript levels for genes of glucose and fatty acid import or biosynthesis were significantly reduced. A prolific inflammation response was indicated by the 2 to100-fold induction of many cytokine transcripts, including those for IL-6, IL1?, TNF ligands, and CXC family members

Description
Trans-10, Cis-12 conjugated linoleic acid (t10c12 CLA) causes fat loss in mouse 3T3-L1 adipocyte tissue culture. The early transcriptome changes were analyzed using high-density microarrays to better characterize the signaling pathways responding to t10c12 CLA. Their gene expression responses between 4 to 24 hr after treatment showed a common set of early gene expression changes indicative of an integrated stress response (ISR).
