To investigate genome-wide changes involved in differentiation, we have used immortalized neural stem cell (NSC) line (HB1.F3) and Olig2-induced NSC differentiation model (F3.Olig2). Using microarray analysis, we revealed that Olig2-induced NSC differentiation involves downregulation of Wnt pathway, which was further confirmed by TOPflash/FOPflash reporter assay, RT-PCR analysis, immunoblots, and immunocytochemistry. Furthermore, we found that Olig2-induced differentiation induces the expression of Dickkopf-1(Dkk1), a potent antagonist of Wnt signaling. Dkk1 treatment blocked Wnt signaling in HB1.F3 in a dosage-dependent manner, and induced differentiation into astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, and neurons. Our results support cancer stem cell hypothesis which implies that signaling pathway for self-renewal and proliferation of stem cells is maintained till the late stage of differentiation. In our proposed model, Dkk1 may play an important role in downregulating self-renewal and proliferation pathway of stem cells at the late stage of differentiation, and its failure may lead to carcinogenesis.</p>

<body><sec id="s1"><title>Introduction</title>
<p>It has been widely accepted until recently that no new neurons are generated after neurogenesis is completed during the early embryonic development (i.e., there are no resident stem cells in the nervous system) <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0003917-Kim1">[1]</xref>
. More recent studies, however, led to the isolation of neural stem cells (NSCs) from the embryonic mammalian central nervous system (CNS) <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0003917-Cattaneo1">[2]</xref>
–<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0003917-Temple1">[4]</xref>
, followed by the isolation of NSCs from the adult mammalian CNS <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0003917-Lois1">[5]</xref>
, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0003917-Reynolds1">[6]</xref>
. These discoveries revealed the regenerative power of the CNS, which may be used for therapeutic purposes <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0003917-Temple2">[7]</xref>
.</p>
<p>Currently, there are four main strategies in NSCs and their progenitor cell-based therapy: transplantation of oligodendrocyte progenitor cells for treating myelin disorders; transplantation of neuronal progenitor cells to treat diseases of discrete loss of a single neuronal phenotype, such as Parkinson disease; implantation of mixed progenitor pools to treat diseases resulting from the loss of several phenotypes, such as spinal cord injury; mobilization of endogenous neural progenitor cells to treat neurodegenerative diseases <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0003917-Goldman1">[8]</xref>
. Despite significant progress that has been made for clinical application of NSCs, key questions about global perspectives for the differentiation pathway remain to be answered including molecular determinants of neural and glial fates and distinctive stages of differentiation <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0003917-Aiba1">[9]</xref>
.</p>
<p>Understanding differentiation is important for at least two reasons. Firstly, differentiation is a process of acquiring specific functions of committed cells. Therefore, understanding each step of differentiation, and characterizing differentiation phenotypes are the basis of stem cell engineering. Future stem cell research is likely to focus on improving the ability to guide the differentiation of stem cells and to control their survival and proliferation for clinical application <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0003917-Laflamme1">[10]</xref>
. Secondly, understanding differentiation may provide an important clue for treating cancers. According to the newly emerging cancer stem cell hypothesis, tumors seem to arise from small populations of cancer stem cells that originate from the transformation of normal stem cells <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0003917-Pardal1">[11]</xref>
. In this hypothesis, a tumor can be viewed as an aberrant organ initiated by a cancer stem cell that undergoes processes analogous to the self-renewal and differentiation of normal stem cells <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0003917-Reya1">[12]</xref>
. Although similar to normal stem cells in many ways, cancer stems cells are critically different in that their transit-amplifying progeny do not mature and die as do the progeny of normal stem cells (maturation arrest) <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0003917-Sell1">[13]</xref>
. Therefore, understanding differentiation may ultimately lead to the development of differentiation therapy, which is directed toward reversal of the maturation arrest, thus allowing the cancer cells to differentiate and die eventually <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0003917-Sell2">[14]</xref>
.</p>
<p>To identify genes and pathways that could play a role in the differentiation of NSCs, we performed microarray analysis using immortalized neural stem cell line (HB1.F3) and its oligodendrocyte progeny (F3.Olig2) in which olig2 is over-expressed. It has been shown that olig2 overexpression can induce the in vitro differentiation of NSCs into mature oligodendrocytes <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0003917-Copray1">[15]</xref>
. HB1.F3 has the ability to self-renew and differentiate into cells of neuronal and glial lineages in both in vivo and in vitro <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0003917-Cho1">[16]</xref>
, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0003917-Ryu1">[17]</xref>
. F3.Olig2 cells express oligodendrocyte markers and represent a model of NSC differentiation (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="pone-0003917-g001">Fig. 1</xref>

<sec id="s2a"><title>Downregulation of Wnt pathway in F3.Olig2</title>
<p>Microarray analysis revealed global gene expression changes between HB1.F3 and F3.Olig2; more than 60% of genes that are present in HB1.F3 are absent in F3.Olig2. Since the global gene expression changes violate basic assumptions of statistical analysis of microarray data that most genes are not differentially expressed <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0003917-Quackenbush1">[18]</xref>
, we have employed the knowledge-based Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) (<xref ref-type="sec" rid="s4">Materials and Methods</xref>
), instead of using conventional statistical analysis such as t-test, to investigate expression changes in functional groups of genes. Since the Wnt pathway is known to be involved in neural stem cell-differentiation in contra-acting ways (i.e., maintain stemness versus inducing differentiation <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0003917-Muroyama1">[19]</xref>
–<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0003917-Haegele1">[21]</xref>
, the investigation of the microarray data was focused on Wnt pathway-related gene sets. Using this method, we identified significant enrichment of Wnt pathway genes, genes upregulated by Wnt <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0003917-Willert1">[22]</xref>
, and Wnt pathway target genes in HB1.F3, an immortalized neural stem cell line (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="pone-0003917-g002">Fig. 2A–C</xref>
) (see <xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="pone.0003917.s002">Table S1</xref>
, <xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="pone.0003917.s003">S2</xref>
, <xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="pone.0003917.s004">S3</xref>
for detailed information). To obtain further evidence that Wnt pathway is active in HB1.F3 and suppressed in F3.Olig2, we transfected a transcription factor (TCF) reporter gene (TOPflash) containing five optimal TCF-binding sites or the mutant control plasmid (FOPflash) into HB1.F3 and F3.Olig2. pRL-TK was included to normalize data for transfection efficiency <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0003917-Korinek1">[23]</xref>

<p>As described above, both GSEA and the reporter assay revealed that Wnt pathway is active in HB1.F3 and downregulated in F3.Olig2. To further confirm these findings at the molecular level, we performed semiquantitative RT-PCR analysis of Wnt pathway components including 18 Wnt families, 4 Wnt receptors, 2 Wnt co-receptors, 2 antagonists of Wnt signaling, and 2 target genes of Wnt pathway.

<sec id="s3"><title>Discussion</title>
<p>In the present study, we showed that Olig2-induced differentiation of NSCs leads to downregulation of Wnt pathway, which is known to regulate the balance between self-renewal and differentiation in CNS <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0003917-Zechner1">[33]</xref>
. Although Wnt signaling can influence cell lineage decisions such as neural differentiation of NSCs <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0003917-Muroyama1">[19]</xref>
, differentiation of embryonic stem cells into dorsal interneurons <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0003917-Murashov1">[34]</xref>
, and differentiation of NSCs into dopaminergic neurons <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0003917-Haegele1">[21]</xref>
, Wnt signaling predominates in stem cell proliferation and neural stem cell expansion <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0003917-Chenn1">[20]</xref>
, and inhibits differentiation <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0003917-Haegele1">[21]</xref>
, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0003917-Aubert1">[35]</xref>
.</p>
<p>Unlike these studies that focused on modulating Wnt signaling and analyzing its effects on stem cells, we found, in the present study, that the differentiation-inducing event (<italic>i.e</italic>
., overexpression of Olig2) may precede the downregulation of Wnt pathway.</p>
<p>We found that most of genes, receptors, co-receptors, and target genes expressions were increased in HB1.F3, but that of Wnt inhibitor was increased in F3.Olig2. And β-catenin was observed in cytoplasm of F3.Olig2 and nucleus of HB1.F3, whereas p-β-catenin was expressed only in the nucleus of F3.Olig2. This means canonical Wnt pathway may be activated in HB1.F3, and decreased in F3.Olig2.</p>
<p>Furthermore, we showed that the expression of Dkk1, a potent antagonist of Wnt signaling, is induced in F3.Olig2. Dkk1 treatment blocks Wnt signaling in HB1.F3, and induces differentiation into astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, and neurons. These findings comply with previous findings that blocking Wnt pathway induces differentiation <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0003917-Haegele1">[21]</xref>
, but not lineage-specific. It is generally accepted that there is the balance between self-renewal and differentiation <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0003917-Zechner1">[33]</xref>
, which may be manifested in two different ways. When Olig2, a differentiation-inducing signal, was overexpressed, this led to lineage-specific differentiation of neural stem cells and downregulation of Wnt pathway (<italic>i.e</italic>
., self-renewal pathway) as demonstrated by F3.Olig2. When HB1.F3 cells were treated with Dkk1, a Wnt inhibitor, this led to downregulation of Wnt pathway and lineage-non-specific differentiation.</p>
<p>According to previous findings, Dkk1 is a direct target of the β-catenin/TCF transcription complex that mediates Wnt signaling <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0003917-Chamorro1">[36]</xref>
–<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0003917-Niida1">[38]</xref>
. Although these studies indicate that Dkk1 forms a novel feedback loop in Wnt signaling, our results suggest that the expression of Dkk1 is induced by a different pathway in F3.Olig2 since Wnt signaling as well as Wnt genes and receptors are suppressed in F3.Olig2. Previous reports showed that the expression of Dkk1 can be induced, independent of Wnt signaling, by differentiation-promoting reagents such as 1α, 25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0003917-Aguilera1">[39]</xref>
and retinoic acids <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0003917-Verani1">[40]</xref>
. Dkk1 can be also induced by p53 <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0003917-Wang1">[41]</xref>
.</p>
<p>Evidences from our experiments provide a probable link between stem cell maturation arrest and carcinogenesis at the molecular level. According to cancer stem cell hypothesis, tumors arise from maturation arrest of stem cells <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0003917-Sell3">[42]</xref>
, which implies that signaling pathway for self-renewal and proliferation of stem cells is maintained till the late stage of differentiation. In our proposed model (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="pone-0003917-g006">Fig. 6</xref>
), Wnt signaling, which is important for self-renewal and proliferation of NSCs, is turned off at the late stage of differentiation by Dkk1, which is turned on not by Wnt pathway but by a differentiation-related pathway. The feasibility of this model is supported by experimental evidences that Dkk1 is epigenetically silenced in many tumors including gastrointestinal tumors <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0003917-Aguilera2">[43]</xref>
, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0003917-Sato1">[44]</xref>

. Also, in HeLa cells, Dkk1 is required for tumorigenicity <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0003917-Mikheev1">[48]</xref>
. Altogether, these evidences may indicate that Dkk1 play an important role in downregulating self-renewal and proliferation pathway of stem cells at the late stage of differentiation, and its failure may lead to carcinogenesis.</p>
