The human telomerase reverse transcriptase hTERT is highly expressed in undifferentiated embryonic cells and silenced in the majority of somatic cells. To investigate the mechanisms of hTERT silencing, we have developed a novel reporter using a bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) that contained the entire hTERT gene and its neighboring loci, hCRR9 and hXtrp2. Firefly and Renilla luciferases were used to monitor transcription from the hTERT and hCRR9 promoters, respectively. In mouse embryonic stem cells stably integrated with the BAC reporter, both hTERT and hCRR9 promoters were highly expressed. Upon differentiation into embryoid bodies and further into mineral-producing osteogenic cells, the hTERT promoter activity decreased progressively, whereas the hCRR9 promoter remained highly active, both resembling their endogenous counterparts. In fully differentiated cells, the hTERT promoter was completely silenced and adopted a chromatin structure that was similar to its native counterpart in human cells. Inhibition of histone deacetylases led to the opening of the hTERT promoter and partially relieved repression, suggesting that histone deacetylation was necessary but not sufficient for hTERT silencing. Thus, our result demonstrated that developmental silencing of the human TERT locus could be recapitulated in a chromosomal position-independent manner during the differentiation of mouse embryonic stem cells.

While the role of thyroid hormones (THs) during fetal and postnatal life is well-established, their role at preimplantation and during blastocyst development remains unclear. In this study, we used an embryonic stem cell line isolated from rat (RESC) to study the effects of THs and retinoic acid (RA) on early embryonic development during the pre-implantation stage. The results showed that THs play an important role in the differentiation/maturation processes of cells obtained from embryoid bodies (EB), with thyroid hormone nuclear receptors (TR) (TRα and TRβ), metabolic enzymes (deiodinases 1, 2, 3) and membrane transporters (Monocarboxylate transporters -MCT- 8 and 10) being expressed throughout in vitro differentiation until the Embryoid body (EB) stage. Moreover, thyroid hormone receptor antagonist TR (1-850) impaired RA-induced neuroectodermal lineage specification. This effect was significantly higher when cells were treated with retinoic acid (RA) to induce neuroectodermal lineage, studied through the gene and protein expression of nestin, an undifferentiated progenitor marker from the neuroectoderm lineage, as established by nestin mRNA and protein regulation. These results demonstrate the contribution of the two nuclear receptors, TR and RA, to the process of neuroectoderm maturation of the in vitro model embryonic stem cells obtained from rat.
