High-resolution transcriptional and morphogenetic profiling of cells from micropatterned human embryonic stem cell gastruloid cultures

ABSTRACT: We used circular micropattern cultures to differentiate human embryonic stem cells (H1 hESCs) into microcolonies termed ‘gastruloids’, comprising germ layer and extraembryonic cells. Differentiated gastruloids were dissociated and reseeded onto micropatterns in single cells solution to study cell sorting behaviors. We applied single-cell RNA sequencing to examine transcriptomes of gastruloids and reseeded cells.

Gene expression dynamics underlying cell fate emergence in 2D micropatterned human embryonic stem cell gastruloids

Project description:We applied BMP4 to circular micropattern cultures to differentiate human embryonic stem cells (H1 hESCs) into microcolonies termed ‘gastruloids’, comprising germ layer and extraembryonic cells. Time-course single cell RNA-sequencing was performed at 0h (immediately before BMP4 treatment), 12h, and 24h after BMP4 treatment. Combining these 0h, 12h, and 24h datasets with previously generated 44h datasets, we report transcriptomic dynamics over the course of BMP4-driven differentiation in micropatterned cultures.

Gastruloid-derived Primordial Germ Cell-like Cells (Gld-PGCLCs) develop dynamically within integrated tissues

Project description:Primordial Germ Cells (PGCs) are a rare population of cells specified early in embryonic development that give rise to gametes - sperm and egg cells. Current in vitro systems to derive PGC-like cells (PGCLCs) from pluripotent cells use large embryoid bodies, exposed to signalling cocktails, that do not recapitulate the native embryonic environment during PGC formation. Here we show that mouse gastruloids, three-dimensional in vitro models of gastrulation, generate a population of Gastruloid-derived PGC-like cells (Gld-PGCLCs) that resemble early PGCs in vivo. Importantly, the conserved organisation of mouse gastruloids leads to coordinated spatial and temporal localisation of Gld-PGCLCs relative to surrounding somatic cells, even in the absence of exogenous PGC-specific signalling or extraembryonic tissues. In gastruloids, self-organised interactions between cells and tissues, including the endodermal epithelium, enables the specification, migration, and subsequent maturation of a pool of Gld-PGCLCs. As such, mouse gastruloids represent a new source of PGCLCs in vitro and, due to their inherent co-development, serve as a novel model of dynamic PGC development within integrated tissue environments.

Multimodal characterization of murine gastruloid development

Project description:Gastruloids are highly scalable, three-dimensional assemblies generated from pluripotent stem cells that recapitulate fundamental principles of embryonic pattern formation in vitro. Using single cell RNA and multiome sequencing we provide a comprehensive resource mapping cellular states and cell types found during gastruloid development and compare them to the in vivo embryo. We further develop a high throughput gastruloid handling and imaging pipeline to spatially monitor cell type emergence and unfolding of symmetry breaking during gastruloid development. We report spatial variability of pluripotency states in early gastruloids that determines a binary cell response to Wnt activation. While cells situated in the core of the gastruloid revert to an ectopic pluripotent state, peripheral cells differentiate to a primitive streak like state. These two populations then cause gastruloids to break radial symmetry, allowing axial elongation and commitment to the three embryonic germ layers. Finally by performing a phenotypic compound screen, we perturb thousands of gastruloids at relevant developmental time points deriving a phenotypic landscape and inferring molecular regulator networks underlying gastruloid development. Employing this resource, we improve the formation of anterior structures in the existing gastruloid model, using a dual Wnt modulation approach to differentiate an anterior ectopic pluripotent core to anterior ecto- and endodermal structures. This work gives is a resource to understand how gastruloids develop and, more generally, how homogenous cell populations can generate complex patterns in vitro.

Inter-gastruloid heterogeneity revealed by single cell transcriptomics time course: implications for organoid based perturbation studies

Project description:Recent advances in organoid and genome editing technologies are allowing for perturbation experiments at an unprecedented scale. However, before doing such experiments it is important to understand the gene expression profile in each of the organoid’s cells, as well as how much heterogeneity there is between individual organoids. Here we characterise an organoid model of mouse gastrulation called gastruloids using single cell RNA-sequencing of individual organoids at half-day intervals between day 3 and day 5 of differentiation (roughly corresponding to E6.5-E8.75 in vivo). Our study reveals multiple differentiation trajectories that have hitherto not been characterised in gastruloids. Intriguingly, we observe that individual gastruloids displayed a strong bias towards producing either mesodermal (largely somitic) or ectodermal (specifically neural) cell types. This bifurcation is already seen at the earliest sampled time point, and is characterised by increased activity of WNT-associated pathways in mesodermally-biased gastruloids as compared to neurally-biased gastruloids. Notably, at day 5, mesodermal gastruloids show an increase in the proportion of neural cells, while neural gastruloids do not produce notably more mesodermal cells. This is in line with previous studies on how the balance between these cell types is regulated. We demonstrate using in silico simulations that without proper understanding of the inter-organoid heterogeneity, perturbation experiments have either very high false positive or negative rates, depending on the statistical model used. Thus in future studies, modelling of inter-organoid heterogeneity will be crucial when designing organoid-based perturbation studies.

Hypoxia induces a transcriptional primitive streak signature in ES cells and enhances lineage patterning in gastruloids

Project description:The cellular microenvironment shapes stem cell identity and differentiation capacity. Mammalian early embryos are exposed to hypoxia in vivo and benefit from hypoxic culture in vitro. Yet, how different components of the hypoxia response impact stem cell transcriptional networks and lineage choices remains unclear. Here we investigated the effect of acute and prolonged hypoxia on stem cell states and differentiation efficiencies of embryonic and extraembryonic cells. We show that prolonged hypoxia enhances differentiation of embryonic stem (ES) cells towards the mesendoderm lineage by transcriptionally priming cells with a primitive streak signature including Wnt3 and T expression. Exposure to hypoxia in ES culture or during formation of gastrulation-mimicking organoids (gastruloids) moderates T expression and enhances structural complexity. Hypoxic gastruloids generated without exogenous Wnt induction can spontaneously elongate and self-organize. Direct gene regulation by Hif1a, combined with DNA demethylation and metabolic rewiring modulate the transcriptional response and phenotypic outcome. Our findings highlight the influence of the microenvironment on stem cell function and provide a rationale supportive of applying physiological conditions in synthetic embryo models.

Recapitulating human peri-gastrulation development via self-organization of extended pluripotent stem cells

Project description:Stem cell models that replicate the gastrulation process in human embryos have been created, but they lack the essential extraembryonic cells needed for early embryonic development and patterning. Here, we introduce a robust and efficient method that prompts human extended pluripotent stem (EPS) cells to self-organize into embryo-like structures, called peri-gastruloids, which encompass both embryonic (epiblast) and extraembryonic (hypoblast) tissues. These peri-gastruloids simulate critical stages of human peri-gastrulation development, such as forming amniotic and yolk sac cavities, developing bilaminar and trilaminar embryonic discs, specifying primordial germ cells, initiating gastrulation, and early neurulation. Single-cell RNA sequencing unveiled transcriptomic characteristics of these human peri-gastruloids, which closely resemble the primary peri-gastrulation cell types found in human and non-human primates. Our results emphasize the remarkable self-organizing ability of EPS cells to generate advanced human embryo-like structures. This peri-gastruloid platform allows for further exploration beyond gastrulation and may potentially aid in the development of human fetal tissues for use in regenerative medicine.

A balance between secreted inhibitors and edge-sensing controls gastruloid self-organization

Project description:The earliest aspects of human embryogenesis remain mysterious. To model patterning events in the human embryo we used colonies of human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) grown on micropatterned substrate and differentiated with BMP4. These recapitulate the embryonic arrangement of the mammalian germ layers and provide an assay to assess the structural and signaling mechanisms patterning the human gastrula. Structurally, high-density hESCs relocalize their TGF-β receptors to their lateral side in the center of the colony, while maintaining apical localization of receptors at the edge. This relocalization insulates central cells from apically applied ligands while maintaining response to basally presented ones. Additionally, BMP4 directly induces the expression of its own inhibitor, Noggin, generating a reaction-diffusion mechanism that underlies patterning. We develop a quantitative model that integrates edge sensing and inhibitors, to predict human fate positioning in micropatterns, and potentially the human embryo.
