Abstract
Three-dimensional (3D) genomics shows immense promise for studying X chromosome inactivation (XCI) by interrogating changes to the X chromosomes' 3D states. Here, we sought to characterize the 3D state of the X chromosome in naïve and primed human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs). Using chromatin tracing, we analyzed X chromosome folding conformations in these cells with megabase genomic resolution. X chromosomes in female naïve hPSCs exhibit folding conformations similar to the active X chromosome (Xa) and the inactive X chromosome (Xi) in somatic cells. However, naïve X chromosomes do not exhibit the chromatin compaction typically associated with these somatic X chromosome states. In H7 naïve human embryonic stem cells, XIST accumulation observed on damaged X chromosomes demonstrates the potential for naïve hPSCs to activate XCI-related mechanisms. Overall, our findings provide insight into the X chromosome status of naïve hPSCs with a single-chromosome resolution and are critical in understanding the unique epigenetic regulation in early embryonic cells.

Abstract
Pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) possess unique characteristics that distinguish them from other cell types. Human embryonic stem (ES) cells are recently gaining attention as a powerful tool for human toxicity assessment without the use of experimental animals, and an embryonic stem cell test (EST) was introduced for this purpose. However, human PSCs have not been thoroughly investigated in terms of drug resistance or compared with other cell types or cell states, such as naïve state, to date. Aiming to close this gap in research knowledge, we assessed and compared several human PSC lines for their resistance to drug exposure. Firstly, we report that RIKEN-2A human induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells possessed approximately the same sensitivity to selected drugs as KhES-3 human ES cells. Secondly, both ES and iPS cells were several times less resistant to drug exposure than other non-pluripotent cell types. Finally, we showed that iPS cells subjected to naïve-state induction procedures exhibited a sharp increase in drug sensitivity. Upon passage of these naïve-like cells in non-naïve PSC culture medium, their sensitivity to drug exposure decreased. We thus revealed differences in sensitivity to drug exposure among different types or states of PSCs and, importantly, indicated that naïve-state induction could increase this sensitivity.

Abstract
Insulin gene (INS) mutations prove to be the second most common cause of permanent neonatal diabetes. Here, we report the generation of iPSC line from a patient, heterozygous for the intronic INS mutation that presumably leads to aberrant splicing. Dermal fibroblasts were reprogrammed using non-integrating RNA-based vector. Derivation and expansion of iPSCs were performed under feeder-free culture conditions. The iPSC line expressed pluripotency markers, had normal karyotype, could differentiate into three germ layers in vitro and retained the disease mutation. This line can be a powerful tool for modeling of diabetes and cell replacement therapy as well.
