Description
Reproducibility in molecular and cellular studies is fundamental to scientific discovery. To establish the reproducibility of a well-defined long term neuronal differentiation protocol, we repeated the cellular and molecular comparison of the same two iPSC lines across five distinct laboratories. Despite uncovering acceptable variability within individual laboratories, we detect poor cross-site reproducibility of the differential gene expression signature between these two lines. Factor analysis identifies the laboratory as the largest source of variation along with several variation-inflating confounds such as passaging effects and progenitor storage. Single cell transcriptomics shows substantial cellular heterogeneity underlying inter-laboratory variability and being responsible for biases in differential gene expression inference. Factor analysis-based normalization of the combined dataset can remove the nuisance technical effects, enabling the execution of robust hypothesis generating studies. Our study shows that multi-center collaborations can expose systematic biases and identify critical factors to be standardized when publishing novel protocols, contributing to increased cross-site reproducibility. Overall design: RNAseq profiles of 57 bulk Human iPSC-Derived Neurons differentiated across five laboratories were generated in triplicates at two different time points and sequenced on 1 lane of HiSeq4000 at 75bp paired end. RNAseq profiles of .... single cells extracted from 2 of the 5 laboratories at the later time point were isolated by FACS onto 96-well plates and sequenced on 1 lane of HiSeq4000 at 75bp paired end.

Description
CD133 (Prominin1) is pentaspan transmembrane glycoprotein expressed in several stem cell populations and cancers. Reactivity with an antibody (AC133) to a glycoslyated form of CD133 has been widely used for the enrichment of cells with tumor initiating activity in xenograph transplantation assays. We have found by fluorescence-activated cell sorting that increased AC133 reactivity in human embryonic stem cells, colon cancer and melanoma cells is correlated with increased DNA content and reciprocally, that the least reactive cells are in the G1/G0 portion of the cell cycle. Continued cultivation of cells sorted on the basis of high and low AC133 reactivity results in a normalization of the cell reactivity profiles indicating that cells with low AC133 reactivity can generate highly reactive cells as they resume proliferation. The association of AC133 with actively cycling cells may contribute to the basis for enrichment for tumor initiating activity.

Description
Several recently emerging ChIP-seq (chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by sequencing) based methods perform chemical steps on bead-bound immunoprecipitated chromatin, posing a challenge for generating similarly treated input controls required for bioinformatics and data quality analyses. Here we present a versatile method for producing technique-specific input controls for ChIP-based methods that utilize additional bead-bound processing steps. Application of this method allowed for discovery of a novel CTCF binding motif from ChIP-exo data. Overall design: HeLa cells were transfected with either a scrambled siRNA or one of two CTCF siRNAs (Thermo Fisher Scientific ? Life technologies) using Lipofectamine RNAiMAX (Thermo Fisher Scientific - Life technologies) and incubated for 24 hr.

Description
The emerging correlation between aberrant DNA methylation patterns leading to transcriptional responses that promote and progress many cancers has prompted an interest in discerning the associated regulatory mechanisms. ZBTB33 (also known as Kaiso) is a specialized transcription factor that selectively recognizes mCpG-containing sites as well as a sequence-specific DNA target (termed the KBS) utilizing three Cys2His2 zinc fingers. Increasing reports link ZBTB33 overexpression and transcriptional activities with metastatic potential and poor prognosis, though the specific cellular consequences appear to be dependent on disease phenotype. There is currently little mechanistic insight into how various cellular phenotypes are then able to harness the transcriptional capabilities of ZBTB33 to differentially promote and progress the disease state. Here we have mechanistically interrogated the cell cycle responses mediated by the transcriptional activities of ZBTB33 in two different cell lines. Utilizing a series of ZBTB33 depletion and overexpression studies, we have determined that in HeLa cells ZBTB33 directly occupies the promoter regions of cyclin D1 and cyclin E1 in a KBS and methyl-specific manner, respectively, inducing increased proliferation by promoting RB1 hyper-phosphorylation, allowing for E2F transcriptional activity that coordinates an accelerated G1- to S-phase transition. Conversely, in HEK293 cells ZBTB33 indirectly regulates Cyclin E abundance resulting in reduced RB1 phosphorylation, decreased E2F activity and a decelerated transition through G1-phase. Thus, we have identified a novel mechanism by which ZBTB33 directly mediates the highly coordinated cyclin D1/cyclin E1/RB1/E2F signaling pathway controlling the passage through the G1-phase restriction point and accelerating cellular proliferation in a cancer cell line. Overall design: Determination of cellular and transcriptional consequences for ZBTB33 depletion in HeLa cells.

Description
Through genome-wide transcriptional comparisons, this study interrogates the capacity of iPSCs to accurately model pathogenic signatures of structural cardiac defects. Herein, we studied the molecular etiology of structural cardiac defects in Nos3-/- mice via transcriptional analysis of stage-matched embryonic and iPSC-derived tissues. In vitro comparisons of differentiated embryoid bodies were calibrated to in utero benchmarks of health and disease. Integrated systems biology analysis of WT and Nos3-/- transcriptional profiles revealed 50% concordant expression patterns between in utero embryonic and ex vivo iPSC-derived tissue. In particular, up-regulation of glucose metabolism (p-value = 3.95x10-12) and down-regulation of fatty acid metabolism (p-value = 6.71x10-12) highlight a bioenergetic signature of early Nos3 deficiency during cardiogenesis that can be recapitulated in iPSC-derived tissues. The in vitro concordance of early Nos3-/- disease signatures supports the utility of iPSCs as a cell-autonomous model of structural heart defects. Moreover, this study supports the use of iPSCs as a platform to pinpoint initial stages of cardiac pathogenesis.

Description
Rationale: Cardiac development is a complex process that results in the first integrated, multi-lineage embryonic tissue. Imperfect developmental progression leads to congenital heart disease, the most common birth defect with developmental corruption affecting more than 1% of all live births. Interrogation of individual genes has provided the backbone for cardiac developmental biology, yet a comprehensive transcriptome derived from natural cardiogenesis is required to establish an unbiased roadmap to gauge innate developmental milestones necessary for stem cell-based differentiation and in vitro disease modeling.
