They focus on stem cell biology and are addressing two questions:
1) What makes a stem cell a stem cell?
2) How to make a non-stem cell a stem cell?
Background
Embryonic Stem(ES) Cell
• Pluripotency (differentiate into almost all lineages)
• Self-renewing ability
• Revolutionized biological research through the creation of genetically
altered animals.
• Human ES cell (promising)
Pluripotency
Self-renewal
Main Purpose
How is the ES cell pluripotency
maintained?
Maintenance of Pluripotency
•
•
•
Extrinsic: the LIF and BMP signaling pathways play a central role in the
maintenance of a pluripotential stem cell phenotype.
1. Leukemia Inhibitory Factor (LIF)
The binding of LIF to its receptor activates STAT3 through phosphorylation
•
•
2. Bone Morphogenetic Proteins (BMPs)
The binding of BMP4 to its receptors triggers the phosphorylation of Smad1 and
activates the expression of members of the Id(inhibitor of differentiation) gene
family
•
Intrinsic: factors such as transcription factors (TFs) are also essential for
specifying the undifferentiated state of ES cells.
– Oct4, Sox2, c-Myc, Klf4, Nanog, Esrrb, Zfx
Main Design
Gain insights into the transcriptional regulatory networks in ESC
Because Transcription factors (TFs) and their specific interaction
with targets are crucial for specifying gene expression programs

Combinatorial Binding of Transcription Factors Is Associated with ESCell-Specific Expression
Class I genes are enriched in
binding sites for Nanog, Oct4,
Sox2, Smad1
Class II genes are bound
heavily by c-Myc and n-Myc

the expression level of classI,
class II and III are higher than
genes in class IV and class V
60% of genes upregulated in ES
cells are from class I and class II
Combinatorial binding patterns of
TFs have predictive power for EScell-specific expression
Regulatory Network Defining ES-Cell Specific Expression
• Aim:
– Construct a network that specifies ES-cells
• Dataset:
– 2 public undifferentiated v.s differentiated gene expression datasets.

Summary
•
TFs are wired to the ES-cell genome in two major ways.
– Nanog, Oct4, Sox2, Smad1, STAT3
– c-Myc, n-Myc, Zfx, E2f1
•
Highly dense binding loci involving these factors have characteristic features
of enhanceosomes
•
The coactivator p300 is predominantly recruited to dense binding loci
involving proteins found in the first cluster
•
Constructed a transcriptional regulartory network model that integrates the
two key signaling pathways with the intrinsic factors in ES cells.

Discussion (2) -- enhancersome
Enhanceosome : is a nucleoprotein complex composed of distinct sets of TFs bound directly or
indirectly to enhancer DNA
•
The study showed that the Nanong-Oct4-Sox2 cluster exhibits features of enhencesome:
– The binding sites are densely clustered within relatively compact genomic segments.
– These regions act as enhancer when placed downstream of the luciferase reporter.
– Associated with active region marks (H3K4me3).
– P300 (enhancer marker) is recruited to the Nanog-Oct4-Sox2 cluster.

Discussion (3) -- weakness
• To further confirm the enhancersome's function genome wide and the
relationship between the different TFs
- STARR-seq
- biochemical verification
• The network might involve more regulatory factors.
