英文摘要
Project Abstract
Cell fate engineering, for example the directed differentiation of pluripotent stem cells or
the direct conversion among somatic cell types, holds great promise to improve disease
modeling, drug screening, and to lead to regenerative medicine therapies. I recently
developed a novel analytical tool, CellNet, which assesses how well engineered cells
approach their in vivo target cell types based on cell and tissue specific gene regulatory
networks (GRNs). By applying CellNet to all cell fate engineering studies for which
compatible data was available, I discovered several issues that were common to
virtually all methods and target lineages. First, I found that the only robustly faithful fate
engineering was that of reprogramming to pluripotency. Second, I found that the GRN of
the starting cell type (e.g. pluripotent stem cells in cases of directed differentiation or
often fibroblasts in cases of direct conversion) is often partially retained in engineered
cells. Third, I found that GRNs of alternate lineages (i.e. those not associated with the
starting cell type or the target lineage) are frequently established in engineered cells.
Finally, I found that the complex signaling milieu of the mouse microenvironment to
which engineered cells are transplanted potently represses alternate/aberrant lineages
and induces the target cell type GRNs in directly converted cells. These observations
have revealed several fundamental barriers to faithful cell fate engineering and they
define opportunities for progress. My current research program, which I seek to fund
through this MIRA opportunity, is to develop novel theoretical and computational
methods to define cell type identity from single cell RNA-Seq (scRNA-Seq) data with an
emphasis on developmental cell types that emerge during mesoderm development and
subsequent commitment to chondrocyte fate. As part of this work, we will generate
scRNA-Seq data of the developing and adult synovial joint, we will harvest and
incorporate publicly available and collaborator-provided scRNA-Seq data of other
lineages to make a generally applicable platform for assessing cell type identity at the
single cell level of resolution, and we will make the resulting methods, software, and
data freely available. Finally, we will use the system to determine the extent to which the
cell types and compositions of directly differentiating mouse ESCs match their in vivo
counterparts.
