Developmental spatial transcriptome for the molecular annotation of germ layer formation and the acquisition of tissue lineage attributes of post-implantation mouse embryo

ABSTRACT: The blueprint of embryonic development is first visualized in the context of regionalization of cell fates of germ layer tissues in the post-implantation mouse embryo. Knowledge of the genetic and signaling activities that underpin gastrulation, lineage specification and tissue patterning has been gleaned from embryological experimentation and phenotypic analysis of loss- and gain-of-function genetic models. However, a comprehensive genome-wide molecular annotation of the mechanism of gastrulation has yet to be undertaken. Here, we reported the findings of a transcriptome study of cell populations at defined positions in the epiblast, ectoderm, mesoderm and endoderm of the pre-gastrulation and gastrulation stage embryos. This developmental and spatial transcriptome has defined the genealogy of sub-populations of cells in the germ layers. The transcriptome further identifies the molecular determinants such as the transcriptional factors and epigenetic entities, and the activity of signaling pathway and the transcriptional networks that drive the lineage commitment of the pluripotent epiblast cells and the germ layer precursors.

Molecular architecture of lineage specification and tissue organization in early mouse embryo

Project description:During postimplantation development of the mouse embryo, descendants of the inner cell mass cells in the early epiblast transit from the naïve pluripotent state to the primed pluripotent state. Concurrent with the transition of the pluripotency states is the specification of cell lineages and formation of germ layers in the embryos that serves as the blueprint for embryogenesis. Fate mapping and lineage analysis studies have revealed that cells in different regions of the germ layers acquire location-specific cell fates during gastrulation. The regionalization of cell fates heralding the formation of the basic body plan is conserved in vertebrate embryos at a common phylotypic stage of development. Knowledge of the molecular regulation that underpin the lineage specification and tissue patterning is instrumental for understanding embryonic programming and stem cell-based translational study. However, a genome-wide molecular annotation of lineage segregation and tissue architecture of post-implantation embryo has yet to be undertaken. Here, we reported a spatially resolved transcriptome of cell populations at defined positions in the germ layers over the period of pre- to late gastrulation development. This spatio-temporal transcriptome provides high resolution digitized gene expression profiles and defines the molecular attribute of the genealogy of lineages and continuum of pluripotency states in time and space. The transcriptome further identifies the networks of molecular determinants that drive lineage specification and tissue patterning in the early postimplantation mouse embryo.

Tracing the emergence of primordial germ cells from bilaminar disc rabbit embryos and pluripotent stem cells (bulk RNA-sequencing)

Project description:Rabbit embryos, as in humans, develop as bilaminar discs at gastrulation and unlike egg cylinders as in rodents. Mammalian primordial germ cells (PGCs) in all species originate during gastrulation. We sequence the transcriptomes of rabbit embryos during gastrulation, and show that rabbit PGC (rbPGC) specification occurs at the posterior epiblast at the onset of gastrulation

Coordination of germ-layer lineage choice by TET1 during primed pluripotency (ChIP-seq)

Project description:Gastrulation in the early post-implantation stage mammalian embryo begins when epiblast cells ingress to form the primitive streak or develop as the embryonic ectoderm. The DNA dioxygenase Tet1 is highly expressed in the epiblast and yet continues to regulate lineage specification during gastrulation when its expression is diminished. Here, we show how Tet1 plays a pivotal role upstream of germ layer lineage bifurcation. During the transition from naive pluripotency to lineage priming, a global reconfiguration re-distributes Tet1 from Oct4 co-bound promoters to distal regulatory elements at lineage differentiation genes which are distinct from high-affinity sites engaged by Oct4. An altered chromatin landscape in Tet1-deficient primed epiblast-like cells is associated with enhanced Oct4 expression and binding to Nodal and Wnt target genes, resulting in collaborative signals that enhance mesendodermal and inhibit neuroectodermal gene expression during lineage segregation. A permissive role for Tet1 in neural fate induction involves Zic2-dependent engagement at neural target genes at lineage priming, is dependent on the signaling environment during gastrulation and impacts neural tube closure at post-gastrulation. Our findings provide mechanistic information for epigenetic integration of pluripotency and signal-induced differentiation cues.

Dual role of Ovol2 on the germ cell lineage segregation during gastrulation in mouse embryogenesis. [RNA-Seq]

Project description:In mammals, primordial germ cells (PGCs), the origin of the germ line, are specified from the epiblast at the posterior region where gastrulation simultaneously occurs, yet the functional relationship between PGC specification and gastrulation remains unclear. Here, we show that Ovol2, a transcription factor conserved across the animal kingdom, balances these major developmental processes by repressing the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) driving gastrulation and the upregulation of genes associated with PGC specification. Ovol2a, a splice variant encoding a repressor domain, directly regulates EMT-related genes and consequently induces re-acquisition of potential pluripotency during PGC specification, whereas Ovol2b, another splice variant missing the repressor domain, directly upregulates genes associated with PGC specification. Taken together, these results elucidate the molecular mechanism underlying allocation of the germ line among epiblast cells differentiating into somatic cells through gastrulation.

Single-cell methylation and accessibility of mouse embryos E6.5 and E7.5. Second batch.

Project description:Formation of the three primary germ layers during gastrulation is an essential step in the establishment of the vertebrate body plan. Recent studies employing single cell RNA-sequencing have identified major transcriptional changes associated with germ layer specification. Global epigenetic reprogramming accompanies these changes, but the role of the epigenome in regulating early cell fate choice remains unresolved, and the coordination between different epigenetic layers is unclear. Here we describe the first single cell triple-omics map of chromatin accessibility, DNA methylation and RNA expression during the exit from pluripotency and the onset of gastrulation in mouse embryos. We find dynamic dependencies between the different molecular layers, with evidence for distinct modes of epigenetic regulation. The initial exit from pluripotency coincides with the establishment of a global repressive epigenetic landscape, followed by the emergence of local lineage-specific epigenetic patterns during gastrulation. Notably, cells committed to mesoderm and endoderm undergo widespread coordinated epigenetic rearrangements, driven by loss of methylation in enhancer marks and a concomitant increase of chromatin accessibility. In striking contrast, the epigenetic landscape of ectodermal cells is already established in the early epiblast. Hence, regulatory elements associated with each germ layer are either epigenetically primed or epigenetically remodelled prior to overt cell fate decisions during gastrulation, providing the molecular logic for a hierarchical emergence of the primary germ layers.
