Trophectoderm specific function of Atypical Protein Kinase C iota (PKCi) is essential for post-implantation mammalian development.

ABSTRACT: Atypical protein kinase C iota (Prkci) knockout mice are embryonic lethal at gestation day 9.5 but the underlying molecular mechanisms is not known. Here , using Prkci knockout mouse model , we show that trophectoderm specific function of PKCi is essential for post-implantation mammalian development. We observed that PKCi is expressed predominantly in the trophectoderm lineage and developing placenta region in post-implantation mouse embryos. Prkci knockout or homozygous embryos show severe defect in placenta formation compared to wildtype and heterozygous embryos. Using RNA seq analysis in PKCi knockdown mouse trophoblast stem cells, we identified certain genes which are significantly upregulated upon PKCi depletion , one among them is Bone Morphogenetic protein 13 (Bmp13). Our study shows that PKCi is one of key players involved in proper development of the placenta, loss of which might be one of the reasons for early pregnancy failure.

Primary specification of blastocyst trophectoderm by scRNA-seq: new insights into embryo implantation

Project description:Mechanisms of implantation such as determination of the attachment pole, fetal-maternal communication, as well as underlying causes of implantation failure are largely unexplored. Here we performed single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) on peri-implantation embryos from both humans and mice to explore trophectoderm development and embryo–endometrium crosstalk. We found that the transcriptomes of polar and mural trophectoderm (TE) diverged after embryos hatched from the zona pellucida in both species, with polar TE being more mature than mural TE. The implantation poles show similarities in cell cycle activities, as well as in expression of genes critical for implantation and placentation. Embryos that either fail to attach in vitro or fail to implant in vivo, show abnormalities in pathways related to energy production, protein metabolism and 18S rRNA m6A methylation. These findings uncover the gene expression characteristics of humans and mice TE differentiation during the peri-implantation period and provide new insights into embryo implantation.

Human trophectoderm extracellular vesicle proteome

Project description:Embryo implantation into maternal endometrium is critical for initiation and establishment of pregnancy, requiring developmental synchrony between endometrium and blastocyst. However, factors regulating human endometrial-embryo cross talk and facilitate implantation remain largely unknown. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are emerging as important mediators of this process. Here, human trophectomderm stem cell-derived EVs were shown to transfer to and regulate human endometrial cells towards processes associated with implantation. Importantly, transfer of trophectoderm EV cargo proteins to endometrial cells to mediate changes in polarity is demonstrated.

VGLL1 cooperates with TEAD4 to control human trophectoderm lineage specification [scRNA-Seq]

Project description:In contrast to rodents, the mechanisms underlying human trophectoderm and early placenta specification are understudied due to ethical barriers and the scarcity of embryos. Recent reports have shown that human pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) can differentiate into trophectoderm (TE)-like cells (TELCs) and trophoblast stem cells (TSCs), offering a valuable in vitro model to study early placenta specification. Here, we demonstrate that the VGLL1 (vestigial-likefamilymember1), which is highly expressed during human and non-human primate TE specification in vivo but is negligibly expressed in mouse, is a critical regulator of cell fate determination and self-renewal in human TELCs and TSCs derived from naïve PSCs. Mechanistically, VGLL1 partners with the transcription factor TEAD4 (TEA domain transcription factor 4) to regulate chromatin accessibility at target gene loci through histone acetylation and acts in cooperation with GATA3 and TFAP2C. Our work is relevant to understand primate early embryogenesis and how it differs from other mammalian species.

Expression data of human trophectoderm cells

Project description:The implantation process begins with attachment of the trophectoderm (TE) of the blastocyst to the maternal endometrial epithelium. Herein we have investigated the transcriptome of mural TE cells from 13 human blastocysts and compared these with those of human embryonic stem cell (hESC)-derived-TE (hESCtroph). The transcriptomes of hESFtroph at days 8, 10, and 12 had the greatest consistency with TE. Among genes coding for secreted proteins of the TE of human blastocysts and of hESCtroph are several molecules known to be involved in the implantation process as well as novel ones, such as CXCL12, HBEGF, inhibin A, DKK3, Wnt 5A, follistatin. The similarities between the two lineages underscore some of the known mechanisms and offer discovery of new mechanisms and players in the process of the very early stages of human implantation. We propose that the hESCtroph is a viable functional model of human trophoblasts to study trophoblast-endometrial interactions. Furthermore, the data derived herein offer the promise of novel diagnostics and therapeutics aimed at practical challenges in human infertility and pregnancy disorders associated with abnormal embryonic implantation. Transcriptome analyses suggest human embryonic stem cell-derived-trophoblast as a viable functional model of human trophoblast to study trophoblast-endometrial interactions. Five pools of trophectoderm cells were subjected to RNA isolation and microarray. The resulting data were compared to the transcriptomes of H7 human embryonic stem cells differentiated to the trophoblast lineage after 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 days of induction with BMP-4. This submission represents the trophectoderm cells from blastocysts.

PRC2 shields naïve human pluripotent cells from trophectoderm and mesoderm differentiation [scRNA-seq]

Project description:Single-cell RNA-seq reveals that Polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2) maintains naïve pluripotency and restricts an intrinsic capacity of pre-implantation pluripotent stem cells to give rise to trophectoderm and mesoderm lineages. Inhibition of PRC2 forces naïve hESC into an ‘activated’ state through which differentiation into either trophectoderm or mesoderm lineages is triggered. This trajectory is distinct from embryonic lineage specification out of the post-implantation pluripotent state, hence PRC2-mediated repression provides a highly adaptive mechanism to restrict lineage potential during early human development.

Comprehensive Analysis of Karyotypic Mosaicism between Trophectoderm and Inner Cell Mass

Project description:Aneuploidy has been well documented in blastocyst embryos, but prior studies have been limited in scale and/or lack mechanistic data. We previously reported preclinical validation of microarray 24-chromosome preimplantation genetic screening (PGS) in a 24-hour protocol. The method diagnoses chromosome copy number, structural chromosome aberrations, parental source of aneuploidy, and distinguishes certain meiotic from mitotic errors. In this study our objective was to examine aneuploidy in human blastocysts and determine correspondence of karyotypes between trophectoderm (TE) and inner cell mass (ICM). We disaggregated 51 blastocysts from seventeen couples into ICM and one or two TE fractions. The average maternal age was 31. Next, we ran 24-chromosome microarray molecular karyotyping on all of the samples, and then performed a retrospective analysis of the data. The average per-chromosome confidence was 99.95%. Approximately 80% of blastocysts were euploid. The majority of aneuploid embryos were simple aneuploid, i.e., one or two whole-chromosome imbalances. Structural chromosome aberrations, which are common in cleavage stage embryos, occurred in only three blastocysts (5.8%). All TE biopsies derived from the same embryos were concordant. Forty-nine of fifty-one (96.1%) inner cell mass (ICM) samples were concordant with TE biopsies derived from the same embryos. Discordance between TE and ICM occurred only in the two embryos with structural chromosome aberration. We conclude that trophectoderm karyotype is an excellent predictor of inner cell mass karyotype. Discordance between TE and ICM occurred only in embryos with structural chromosome aberrations.

TEAD4 role in trophectoderm commitment and development is not conserved in non-rodent mammals

Project description:The first lineage differentiation in mammals gives rise to the inner cell mass (ICM) and the trophectoderm (TE). In mice, TEAD4 is a master regulator of TE commitment, as it regulates the expression of other TE-specific genes and its ablation prevents blastocyst formation, but its role in other mammals remains unclear. TEAD4 ablation in bovine embryos did not impede TE differentiation or blastocyst formation, but a transcriptomic analysis was performed to see if there were any transcriptomic anomalies in knockout embryos.

PRKCI promotes immune suppression in ovarian cancer through YAP1

Project description:A key feature of high-grade serous ovarian carcinoma (HGSOC) is frequent amplification of the 3q26 locus harboring PRKC-iota (PRKCI). Here, we show that PRKCI is also expressed in early fallopian tube lesions, called Serous Tubal Intraepithelial Carcinoma. Transgenic mouse studies establish PRKCI as an ovarian cancer specific oncogene and system level and functional analyses identify YAP1 as a downstream effector in tumor progression. Mechanistically, the oncogenic activity of the PRKCI-YAP1 axis relates in part to the upregulation of TNFα to promote an immune suppressive tumor microenvironment characterized by an abundance of myeloid-derived suppressor cells and inhibition of cytotoxic T cell infiltration. In human ovarian cancers, high PRKCI expression also correlates with high expression of YAP1 and low infiltration of cytotoxic T-cell. The PRKCI-YAP1 regulation of the tumor immunity provides a therapeutic strategy for highly lethal ovarian cancer. Robust multi-array average (RMA) method was used with default options (with background correction, quantile normalization, and log transformation) to normalize raw data from batches using R/Bioconductor‘s affy package

Effect of ZIKV on pre-implantation embryos

Project description:To determine the effect of Zika virus infection on pre-implantation embryonic development, we performed single blastocyst RNA-Seq on MOCK and ZIKV infected embryos. ZIKV infection results in an increased risk of spontaneous abortion and poor intrauterine growth although the mechanisms underlying fetal loss remain undetermined. Little is known about the impact of ZIKV infection during the earliest stages of pregnancy, or pre- and peri-implantation, because most current studies of ZIKV infection in pregnancy models focus on post-implantation stages. Here, we demonstrate that trophectoderm cells of pre-implantation human and mouse embryos can be efficiently infected with ZIKV, and that trophectoderm can propagate virus causing cell death of neural progenitors. These findings were corroborated by our demonstration that hESC-derived trophectoderm cells are infected by ZIKV in a dose dependent manner. RNAseq of single blastocysts revealed key transcriptional changes in cellular and physiologic functions upon ZIKV infection, including nervous system development and function, prior to commitment to the neural cell lineage. Finally, the pregnancy rate of mice infected pre-implantation was > 50% lower than females infected at E4.5. These results demonstrate that pre-implantation ZIKV infection of trophectoderm leads to miscarriage or spontaneous abortion. Moreover, pre- and peri-implantation ZIKV infects trophectoderm cells that propagate virus over time causing cell death in neural progenitors. Cumulatively, these data demonstrate that vertical pre- and peri-implantation ZIKV infection of trophectoderm impairs fetal development and causes neural progenitor cell death, elucidating a previously unappreciated association of pre- and peri-implantation ZIKV infection and microcephaly.
