Integrated loss- and gain-of-function screens define a core network governing human embryonic stem cell behavior

Kamila Naxerova et al.

Summary: The researchers utilized an integrated genome-scale screening approach to identify genetic networks controlling embryonic stem cell proliferation and differentiation, uncovering a strong link between pluripotency maintenance and survival. They found that the chromatin-modifying complex SAGA, particularly its subunit TADA2B, plays a central role in pluripotency, survival, growth, and lineage specification. Joint analysis of all screens revealed that genetic alterations inhibiting differentiation across multiple germ layers promote proliferation and survival, coinciding with known cancer drivers.

EGR1 is a gatekeeper of inflammatory enhancers in human macrophages

Marco Trizzino et al.

Summary: Analyzing the EGR1 transcription factor can reveal the molecular determinants of monocytic and macrophagic commitment, with EGR1 being essential for monopoiesis but showing a different binding pattern in differentiating macrophages. The repressive activity of EGR1 on inflammatory genes is mediated by the NuRD corepressor complex, even in the absence of its binding motif.

Sequence logic at enhancers governs a dual mechanism of endodermal organ fate induction by FOXA pioneer factors

Ryan J. Geusz et al.

Summary: FOXA plays a dual role in endodermal organ development: facilitating signal-dependent lineage initiation via enhancer priming, and enforcing organ cell type-specific gene expression via indirect recruitment by lineage-specific TFs. Only a small subset of organ-specific enhancers are bound and primed by FOXA prior to lineage induction, whereas the majority engage FOXA upon lineage induction without undergoing chromatin priming.

QSER1 protects DNA methylation valleys from de novo methylation

Gary Dixon et al.

Summary: The previously unknown gene QSER1 plays a crucial role in regulating the methylation landscape, safeguarding bivalent promoters and poised enhancers of developmental genes, especially those in DNA methylation valleys. The genetic and biochemical interactions of QSER1 and TET1 support their cooperation in protecting transcriptional and developmental programs from de novo methylation mediated by DNMT3.

Integrated analysis of multimodal single-cell data

Yuhan Hao et al.

Summary: The study introduces a weighted-nearest neighbor analysis framework to learn the relative utility of each data type in each cell, enabling integrative analysis of multiple modalities. Applied to a CITE-seq dataset, the method constructs a multimodal reference atlas of the circulating immune system and successfully identifies and validates previously unreported lymphoid subpopulations.

Quantitative lineage analysis identifies a hepato-pancreato-biliary progenitor niche

David Willnow et al.

Summary: Studies on single cells have shown significant heterogeneity in stem cell and progenitor compartments, highlighting continuous differentiation and plasticity during organogenesis. The hepato-pancreato-biliary system relies on a small endoderm progenitor compartment, leading to various adult tissues. The existence of cellular plasticity in this system is reflected in genetic syndromes and congenital malformations affecting the liver, pancreas, and gall bladder.

AP-1 is a temporally regulated dual gatekeeper of reprogramming to pluripotency

Glenn J. Markov et al.

Summary: The AP-1 transcription factor c-Jun plays a critical role in human somatic cell reprogramming by enhancing enhancer accessibility in fibroblasts and repressing OCT4 expression. Through epigenome remodeling, successful reprogramming of human fibroblasts to induced pluripotent stem cells was achieved.
