The chemically-defined induction of a primitive endoderm and epiblast-like niche supports post-implantation progression from blastoids.

ABSTRACT: The early mammalian conceptus (blastocyst) contains two supporting extraembryonic tissues - the trophectoderm and the primitive endoderm (PrE) - that encase and guide the epiblast (Epi) to eventually form the all body. Modifications of the conceptus exposed key genes regulating these tissues co-development. However, the combination of signalling pathways at play remains elusive. Stem cell-based models including embryoid bodies and blastoids can be generated in large numbers and subjected to high-content screens. Here, we use combinatorial screens of proteins, GPCR ligands and small molecules to rapidly (<96 hours) and efficiently (80%) guide embryoid bodies to form a three dimensional PrE-/Epiblast-like niche in chemically-defined conditions (gel-free, serum-free). This bipotent niche spontaneously progresses, without growth factors, to form a pro-amniotic cavity surrounded by a polarized Epi covered by parietal and visceral endoderm-like cells. In blastoids, these molecules enhance the ratio and number of Gata6+/Nanog+ cells and promote the survival, expansion and morphogenesis of a post-implantation-like Epi in vitro. Altogether, modelling early development in chemically-defined conditions delineates the pathways sufficient to form a functional PrE/Epiblast niche that fuels post-implantation development.

Cell-to-cell gene expression variability followed by reinforcement progressively segregates lineages in the early mouse embryo

Project description:Mammalian embryonic development begins with the specification and segregation of the two extra-embryonic lineages, trophectoderm and primitive endoderm, from the pluripotent embryonic lineage, the epiblast. To establish a map of epiblast (EPI) versus primitive endoderm (PrE) lineage segregation which occurs within the inner cell mass (ICM), we comprehensively characterised the gene expression profiles of individual inner cells during blastocyst development. Lineage represents the two embryonic cell lineages: the epiblast (EPI), and the primitive endoderm (PE), which are segregated within the inner cell mass(ICM) during blastocyst development.

Human blastoids model blastocyst development and implantation [Bulk RNA-seq]

Project description:Shortly after fertilization, human embryos implant into the uterus. This requires the formation of a blastocyst consisting of a sphere encircling a cavity lodging the embryo proper. Appropriate stem cells can form a blastocyst model, which we termed blastoid. Here we show that naive human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) triply inhibited for the Hippo, TGF-β, and ERK pathways consistently and efficiently (>70%) form blastoids that generate transcriptional pre-implantation analogs of the three founding lineages (trophoblast, epiblast, primitive endoderm; >97%) according to the sequence and pace of blastocyst development. Blastoids spontaneously form an axis marked by the maturation of the polar region, which acquires the potential to specifically attach to hormonally stimulated endometrial cells, as during in utero implantation. Such human blastoids are scalable, versatile, and ethical models to explore human implantation and development.

Human blastoids model blastocyst development and implantation

Project description:About one week after fertilization, human embryos implant into the uterus. This necessitates the formation of a blastocyst consisting of a sphere encircling a cavity lodging the embryo proper. Stem cells can form a blastocyst model, which we termed blastoid. Here we show that naive human pluripotent stem cells (PXGL hPSCs) efficiently (>70%) form blastoids generating blastocyst-stage analogs of the 3 founding lineages (>97% trophectoderm, epiblast, and primitive endoderm) according to the sequence and to the pace of blastocyst development. Blastoids form the first axis and we observe that the epiblast induces the maturation of the polar trophectoderm that consequently acquires the specific and transient potential to attach to hormonally-stimulated endometrial cells. Such human blastoids are faithful, scalable, versatile, and ethical models to explore human implantation and development.

Primitive endoderm stem cell lines in mice

Project description:A blastocyst consists of three distinctive cell types: epiblast (EPI), trophoblast (TB), and primitive endoderm (PrE). Stem cell lines representing EPI and TB (embryonic stem (ES) cells and trophoblast stem (TS) cells) have been derived and they contribute to epiblast derivatives and trophoblast derivatives of stem cell-blastocyst chimeras, respectively. Although derived from PrE, extraembryonic endoderm (XEN) cells contribute to only a limited part of parietal endoderm (PE) but rarely to other PrE derivatives. Here we describe the establishment of primitive endoderm stem (PrES) cell lines in mice. PrES cells were derived and maintained in a serum-free media containing CHIR99021, FGF4, heparin, and PDGF-AA. RNA-seq analysis revealed that the transcriptome of PrES cells is globaly different from XEN cells: PrES cells express not only endoderm markers (Dab2, Gata4, Gata6, Sox17, etc.), but also pluripotent markers (Pou5f1, Cdh1, Nanog, Zfp42, etc.), and resembles in vivo founder PrE. PrES cells were rapidly and efficiently incorporated into PrE after blastocyst injection and efficiently contributed to all PrE derivatives, including PE, VE (visceral endoderm), and MZE (marginal zone endoderm) in chimeras. Importantly, PrES cells rescued embryonic lethality of PrE-depleted blastocysts by complementing all PrE derivatives. PrES cells thus not only contribute to understanding of the mechanisms of PrE specification but also provide a critical resource for artificial embryo reconstitution by stem cells alone.

Preimplantation mouse embryo proteome during 8C to 16C division

Project description:Preimplantation stages of mouse embryo development involve temporal and spatial specification and segregation of three late blastocyst cell lineages; trophectoderm (TE), primitive endoderm (PrE) and epiblast (EPI). Spatial separation of the outer TE lineage from the two inner-cell-mass (ICM) lineages (PrE and EPI) starts with the 8- to 16-cell transition and concludes following transit through the 16- to 32-cell stages. This results in a nascent early blastocyst ICM derived from descendants of primary founding inner cells and a secondarily contributed population; of which subsequent relative EPI versus PrE potencies are subject to debate. We showed that generation of primary but not the secondary ICM populations is highly dependent on temporally discreet activation of the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR – specifically mTORC1) around 8-cell stage M-phase entry. Moreover, that this role is mediated via the regulated function of the 7-methylguanosine- (7mG) cap binding initiation complex (EIF4F) and potentiating the translation of a subset of key but otherwise intransigent mRNAs containing 5’ UTR terminal oligopyrimidine (TOP-) sequence motifs. To find out translation of which mRNAs is regulated by mTOR during 8- to 16-cell transition, we analysed proteomes of control and mTOR-inhibited embryos during this time window.

Mouse Global gene expression profiles of mouse embryonic day3.75 inner cell mass cells

Project description:The goal of this study is elucidating the mechanisms of the primitive endoderm (PrE, founder of the yolk sac) segregates from the epiblast (EPI, founder of the foetus). Within the uterus and ex vivo, precursors of the EPI and PrE emerge in an unsorted manner in inner cell mass (ICM). Coincident with identity acquisition, the cells physically sort, resulting in PrE establishing a single layer of cells covering the cavity-facing surface of the ICM with the EPI enclosed between the PrE and polar trophectoderm. The mechanism that determines this spatial segregation between EPI and PrE is still poorly understood. To achieve this goal, we have compared mouse embryonic day (E) 3.75 ICM cells’ transcriptome profiling to other existing mouse E3.5 and E4.5 ICM cells’ RNA-seq data. We have identified the timing of EPI and PrE lineages specification and maturation and each stage- and lineage-specific genes expression profiles.

Establishment of mouse primitive endoderm stem cell lines [scRNA-Seq II]

Project description:The mammalian blastocyst consists of three distinct cell types: epiblast, trophoblast (TB), and primitive endoderm (PrE). Although embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and trophoblast stem cells (TSCs) retain the functional properties of Epi and TB, the currently available extraembryonic endoderm cells (XENC) do not fully recapitulate the developmental potential of PrE. Here we report derivation of primitive endoderm stem cells (PrESCs) in mice. PrESCs express both PrE and pluripotency marker genes like founder PrE. These cells are efficiently incorporated into PrE upon blastocyst injection, generate functionally competent PrE-derived tissues, and support fetal development of PrE-depleted blastocysts in chimeras. Establishment of PrESCs therefore represents a significant step-forward in elucidating the mechanisms for PrE specification and subsequent pre- and post-implantation development.

Human blastoids model blastocyst development and implantation [scRNAseq]

Project description:Shortly after fertilization, human embryos implant into the uterus. This requires the formation of a blastocyst consisting of a sphere encircling a cavity lodging the embryo proper. Stem cells can form blastocyst models, which we termed blastoid. Here we show that naïve human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) triply inhibited for the Hippo, TGFb, and ERK pathways consistently and efficiently (>70%) form blastoids that generate transcriptional pre-implantation (>95%) analogs of the three founding lineages (trophoblast, epiblast, hypoblast), and in the sequential and timely manner of blastocysts. Blastoids spontaneously form an axis marked by maturation of the polar region, which acquires the potential to specifically attach to hormonally-stimulated endometrial cells, as during in utero implantation. Such human blastoids are scalable, versatile, and ethical models to explore human implantation and development.

3D-cultured blastoids model human embryogenesis from pre-implantation to early gastrulation stages

Project description:Naïve human pluripotent stem cells have the remarkable ability to self-organize into blastocyst-like structures (“blastoids”) that model lineage segregation in the pre-implantation embryo. However, the extent to which blastoids can recapitulate defining features of human post-implantation development remains unexplored. Here, we report that blastoids cultured on thick 3D extracellular matrices capture hallmarks of early post-implantation development, including epiblast lumenogenesis, rapid expansion and diversification of trophoblast lineages, and robust invasion of extravillous trophoblast cells by day 14. Extended blastoid culture results in the localized activation of primitive streak marker TBXT and the emergence of embryonic germ layers by day 21. We also show that modulation of WNT signaling alters the balance between epiblast and trophoblast fates in post-implantation blastoids. This work demonstrates that 3D-cultured blastoids offer a continuous and integrated in vitro model system of human embryonic and extraembryonic development from pre-implantation to early gastrulation stages.
