Title C/EBPα poises B cells for rapid reprogramming into iPS cells [array]
Organism Mus musculus
Experiment type Expression profiling by array
Summary Somatic cell reprogramming into pluripotent stem cells induced by Oct4, Sox2, Klf4 and Myc (OSKM) occurs at low frequencies and with a considerable delay involving a stochastic phase. In contrast, transdifferentiation of B cells into macrophages induced by C/EBPα is fully efficient and initiated almost immediately. We now discovered that a pulse of C/EBPα in B cell precursors followed by OSKM expression dramatically enhances reprogramming to pluripotency, overcoming the stochastic phase. The cells simultaneously activate mesenchymal-epithelial transition and pluripotency genes to high levels within 2 days, correlating with promoter demethylation and accessibility to Oct4 binding. The conditioning effect of C/EBPα is shared with C/EBPβ but not with transcription factors that induce erythroid, neuronal and muscle fates, which are innocuous or inhibitory. Surprisingly, OSKM induce the transient upregulation of macrophage genes in B cells, including Cebpa and Cebpb, as well as trophectoderm genes. Since both C/EBPs are functionally expressed in trophoblasts their unique pluripotency-conditioning capacity might reflect an early embryonic function. Our findings have removed a major hurdle in elucidating mechanisms that establish pluripotency.
 
Overall design Change in gene expression during reprogramming of B-cells into iPS cells, comparing the time 0h (B-cells) to cells induced with OKSM, pre-treated or not with estradiol to induce C/EBPa, at different time points.
