Maternal weight affects placental DNA methylation of genes invovled in metabolic pathways in the common marmoset monkey (Callithrix jacchus)

ABSTRACT: Accumulating evidence suggests that dysregulation of placental DNA methylation (DNAm) is a mechanism linking maternal weight during pregnancy to metabolic programming outcomes. The common marmoset, Callithrix jaccus, is a platyrrhine primate species that has provided much insight into studies of the primate placenta, maternal condition, and metabolic programming, yet the relationships between maternal weight and placental DNAm are unknown. Here, we report genome-wide DNAm from term marmoset placentas using reduced representation bisulfite sequencing. We identified 74 genes whose DNAm pattern is associated with maternal weight during gestation. These genes are predominantly involved in energy metabolism and homeostasis, including regulation of glycolytic and lipid metabolic processes pathways.

Evaluating the Efficacy of Small Molecules for Neural Differentiation of Common Marmoset ESCs and iPSCs

Project description:The common marmoset (marmoset; Callithrix jacchus) harbors various desired features as a non-human primate (NHP) model for neuroscience research. Recently, efforts have been made to induce neural cells in vitro from marmoset pluripotent stem cells (PSCs), including embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), which are characterized by their capacity to differentiate into all cell types from the three germ layers. Successful generation of marmoset neural cells is not only invaluable for understanding neural development and for modeling neurodegenerative and psychiatric disorders, but is also necessary for the phenotypic screening of genetically-modified marmosets. However, differences in the differentiation propensity among PSC lines hamper the applicability and the reproducibility of differentiation methods. To overcome this limitation, we evaluated the efficacy of small molecules for neural differentiation of marmoset ESCs (cjESCs) and iPSCs using multiple differentiation methods. By immunochemical and transcriptomic analyses, we confirmed that our methods using the small molecules are efficient for various differentiation protocols by either enhancing the yield of a mixture of neural cells including both neurons and glial cells, or a pure population of neurons. Collectively, our findings optimized in vitro neural differentiation methods for marmoset PSCs, which would ultimately help enhance the utility of the animal model in neuroscience.

Induction of primordial germ cell-like cells from common marmoset embryonic stem cells by inhibition of WNT and retinoic acid signaling

Project description:Reconstitution of germ cell lineage using pluripotent stem cells provides a unique platform to deepen our understanding of the mechanisms underlying germ cell development and to produce functional gametes for reproduction. Here, we report a robust induction of primordial germ cell-like cells (PGCLCs) from common marmoset (Callithrix jacchus) embryonic stem cells. The robust induction was achieved by not only activation of the conserved PGC-inducing signals, WNT and BMP4, but also temporal inhibitions of WNT and retinoic acid signals, which prevent mesodermal and neural differentiation, respectively, during PGCLC differentiation. Many of the gene expression and differentiation properties of common marmoset PGCLCs were similar to those of human PGCLCs, making this culture system a reliable and useful primate model. Finally, we identified PDPN and KIT as surface marker proteins by which PGCLCs can be isolated from embryonic stem cells without genetic manipulation. This study will expand the opportunities for research on germ cell development and production of functional gametes to the common marmoset.

Rapid and efficient conversion of common marmoset fibroblasts into mature and functional neurons by overexpression of ASCL1 and microRNA-9/9*-124

Project description:The common marmoset (marmoset; Callithrix jacchus) has been attracting much attention especially in the research fields of biomedical science and neuroscience, because of its potential to recapitulate the complex and multidimensional phenotypes of human diseases. Taking these advantages, several transgenic models have been reported so far. However, there remain several issues such as (i) it takes years to generate the late-onset disease models, and (ii) the onset age and severity of phenotypes can vary among individual animals due to their differences in the genetic background. In the present study, we established an efficient and rapid direct neuronal induction method (induced Neuron; iN) from embryonic and adult marmoset fibroblasts. This iN method is a minimally invasive approach to investigate cellular-level phenotypes in the marmoset brain. We overexpressed microRNA-9/9*-124 and a transcription factor ASCL1 in fibroblasts with a small molecule cocktail that ameliorates neuronal induction. The resultant iN cells from both embryonic and adult marmoset fibroblasts showed standard neuronal characteristic within 2 weeks, including neuronal specific gene expression and neuronal membrane spontaneous firing activity. Thus, this novel neuronal induction method may offer a new tool for investigating neurological phenotypes in vitro without collecting living brain tissue in non-human primate neurological disease models.

Attempts for deriving extended pluripotent stem cells from common marmoset embryonic stem cells

Project description:Extended pluripotent stem cells (EPSCs) derived from mice and humans showed an enhanced potential for chimeric formation. By exploiting transcriptomic techniques, we assessed the differences in gene expression profile between extended EPSCs derived from mice and humans, and those newly derived from the common marmoset (marmoset; Callithrix jacchus). Although the marmoset EPSC-like cells displayed a unique colony morphology distinct from murine and human EPSCs, they displayed a pluripotent state akin to embryonic stem cells (ESCs), as confirmed by gene expression and immunocytochemical analyses of pluripotency markers and three-germ-layer differentiation assay. Importantly, the marmoset EPSC-like cells showed interspecies chimeric contribution to mouse embryos, such as E6.5 blastocysts in vitro and E8.5 epiblasts in vivo in mouse development. Also, we discovered that the perturbation of gene expression of the marmoset EPSC-like cells from the original ESCs resembled that of human EPSCs. Thus, we established the efficacy of the method for the derivation of marmoset EPSCs

Evolutionary and Developmental Specialization of Foveal Cell Types in the Marmoset

Project description:In primates, high-acuity vision is mediated by the fovea, a small specialized central region of the retina. The fovea, unique to the anthropoid lineage among mammals, undergoes notable neuronal morphological changes during postnatal maturation. However, the degree of cellular similarity across anthropoid foveas and the molecular underpinnings of foveal maturation remain unclear. Here, we used high throughput single cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) to profile retinal cells of the common marmoset (Callithrix jacchus), an early divergent in anthropoid evolution from humans, apes, and macaques. We generated atlases of the marmoset fovea and peripheral retina for both neonates and adults.

Efficient generation of marmoset primordial germ cell-like cells using induced pluripotent stem cells [bisulfite-seq]

Project description:Reconstitution of germ cell fate from pluripotent stem cells provide the opportunities to understand the molecular underpinning of germ cell development. Here, we established a several culture methods of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) in common marmoset (Callithrix jacchus, cj), which stably propagate in an undifferentiated state. Notably, iPSCs cultured on feeder layer in the presence of a WNT signaling inhibitor upregulate genes related to ubiquitin-dependent protein catabolic process and acquire permissive state that readily differentiate into primordial germ cell-like cells (PGCLCs) bearing immunophenotypic and transcriptomic similarities to pre-migratory cjPGCs. Induction of cjPGCLCs accompanies transient upregulation of mesodermal genes and culminate in establishing primate-specific transcriptional network similar to humans and cynomolgus monkeys. Moreover, cjPGCLCs can be expanded in monolayer while retaining cellular state. Upon co-culture with mouse testicular somatic cells, these cells acquire DDX4+ early prospermatogonia-like state. Our findings provide a framework for understanding and reconstituting germ cell development in marmoset in vitro, which serve as an comparative tool and foundation for a preclinical model for human in vitro gametogenesis.
