Synergistic activation of RARb and RARg nuclear receptors restores cell specialization during stem cell differentiation by hijacking RARa-controlled programs

Abstract

How cells respond to different external cues to develop along defined cell lineages to form complex tissues is a major question in systems biology. Here, we investigated the potential of retinoic acid receptor (RARs)-selective synthetic agonists to activate the gene-regulatory programs driving cell specialization during nervous tissue formation from P19 stem cells. Specifically, we found that the synergistic activation of the RARβ and RARγ by selective ligands (BMS641 or BMS961) induces cell maturation to specialized neuronal subtypes, as well as to astrocytes and oligodendrocyte precursors. Using RAR istoype knockout lines exposed to RAR-specific agonists, interrogated by global transcriptome landscaping and in silico modeling of transcription regulatory signal propagation, revealed major RARα−driven gene programs essential for optimal neuronal cell specialization, and hijacked by the synergistic activation of the RARβ and RARγ receptors. Overall, this study provides a systems biology view of the gene programs accounting for the previously observed redundancy between RAR receptors, paving the way towards their potential use for directing cell specialization during nervous tissue formation.
