Wnt/TCF7L1 transcriptional repressor axis drives primitive endoderm formation by antagonizing naive and formative pluripotency

ABSTRACT: Early during preimplantation development and in heterogeneous mouse embryonic stem cells (mESC) culture, pluripotent cells are specified towards either the primed epiblast or the primitive endoderm (PE) lineage. Canonical Wnt signaling is crucial for safeguarding naive pluripotency and embryo implantation, yet the role and relevance of canonical Wnt inhibition during early mammalian development remains unknown. Here, we demonstrate that transcriptional repression exerted by Wnt/TCF7L1 promotes PE differentiation of mESCs and in preimplantation inner cell mass. Time-series RNA sequencing and promoter occupancy data reveal that TCF7L1 binds and represses genes encoding essential naive pluripotency factors and indispensable regulators of the formative pluripotency program, including Otx2 and Lef1. Consequently, TCF7L1 promotes pluripotency exit and suppresses epiblast lineage formation, thereby driving cells into PE specification. Conversely, TCF7L1 is required for PE specification as deletion of Tcf7l1 abrogates PE differentiation without restraining epiblast priming. Taken together, our study underscores the importance of transcriptional Wnt inhibition in regulating lineage specification in ESCs and preimplantation embryo development as well as identifies TCF7L1 as key regulator of this process.

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.

Tracking the embryonic stem cell transition from ground state pluripotency

Project description:Mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells are locked into self-renewal by shielding from inductive cues. Release from this ground state in minimal conditions offers a system for delineating developmental progression from naive pluripotency. Here we examined the initial transition process. The ES cell population behaves asynchronously. We therefore exploited a short-half-life Rex1::GFP reporter to isolate cells either side of exit from naive status. Extinction of ES cell identity in single cells is acute. It occurs only after near-complete elimination of naïve pluripotency factors, but precedes appearance of lineage specification markers. Cells newly departed from the ES cell state display features of early post-implantation epiblast and are distinct from primed epiblast. They also exhibit a genome-wide increase in DNA methylation, intermediate between early and late epiblast. These findings are consistent with the proposition that naive cells transition to a distinct formative phase of pluripotency preparatory to lineage priming

β-catenin associated protein complex maintains ground state mouse embryonic stem cell by regulating lineage development

Project description:Mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells cultured in defined medium with MEK and GSK3 inhibitors (2i) resemble the pre-implantation epiblast in the ground state, with full development capacity including the somatic lineages and the germline. Although β-catenin is known to be crucial for naive pluripotency of ES cells, the mechanism is not fully understood. Here we showed that β-catenin interacted with a repressive protein complex to maintain the ground state of ES cells by fine-tuning their lineage development potential. Absence of β-catenin impaired ES cell self-renewal without affecting the core self-renewal circuitry of Oct4, Sox2 and Nanog as well as other pluripotency factors. However, β-catenin-deficient cells showed a primed state transcriptional signature with perturbed expression of germline and neuronal lineage genes. Knockdown of Tcf7l1, the repressor in canonical Wnt signaling pathway, did not completely rescue the β-catenin-deficient phenotype of ES cells. Mechanistically, β-catenin formed a novel biochemical complex with E2F6, HP1γ and HMGA2 to restrain ES cells from differentiation by co-occupying the promoters of germline and neuronal lineage regulators independent of TCF7L1. Overall, out work showed that β-catenin maintained ground state ES cells by orchestrating their development plasticity through a repressive protein complex with E2F6, HP1γ and HMGA2.

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.

In vitro capture and characterization of embryonic rosette-stage pluripotency between naive and primed states

Project description:Upon implantation, the naive pluripotent epiblast of the mouse blastocyst generates a rosette, undergoes lumenogenesis and forms the primed pluripotent egg cylinder, able to generate the embryonic tissues. How pluripotency progression and morphogenesis are linked, and whether intermediate pluripotent states exist remain controversial. We identify here a rosette pluripotent state, defined by co-expression of naive factors with transcription factor OTX2. Downregulation of blastocyst WNT signals drives transition into rosette pluripotency by inducing OTX2. The rosette then activates MEK signals that induce lumenogenesis and drive progression to primed pluripotency. Consequently, combined WNT and MEK inhibition supports rosette-like stem cells (RSCs), a self-renewing naive-primed intermediate. RSCs erase constitutive heterochromatin marks and display a primed chromatin landscape, with bivalently marked primed pluripotency genes. Nonetheless, WNT induces reversion to naive pluripotency. The rosette is therefore a reversible pluripotent intermediate where control over both pluripotency progression and morphogenesis pivots from WNT to MEK signals.

Expression analysis in H9-hESCs to induce naive pluripotency

Project description:Human preimplantation embryo development involves complex dynamic cellular and molecular events that lead to the establishment of the three lineages of the blastocyst â the trophectoderm, primitive endoderm and epiblast. Owing to limited resources of biological specimens, our understanding of how the earliest lineage commitments are regulated is limited. Here, we examined role for MCRS1, TET1, and THAP11 in inducing naive pluripotency in human embryonic stem cells in vitro. Human embryonic stem cells (H9) were nucleofected with piggybac constructs that encode for three genes (MCRS1, THAP11, TET1) followed by neomycin selection for 2 weeks to ensure stable integration. Overexpression of genes can be induced by doxycycline (dox) administration to the culture medium. Prior to dox treatment cells were cultured in conventional feeder-free conditions and then transferred to a feeder layer. Culture medium was switched from mTeSR to W8. Administration of dox and media change into 2i/LIF (2 inhibitors against MEK and GSK3 pathway + leukemia inhibitory factor) induces the overexpression of piggybac constructs and over time transitions primed pluripotent hESCs into a naive pluripotent state. Both pluripotent states were examined with microarrays in three biological replicates for each condition. MCRS1 = microspherule protein 1; TET1 = tet methylcytosine dioxygenase 1; THAP11 = THAP domain containing 11

Overexpression of trophoblast stem cell-enriched microRNAs promote trophoblast fate in embryonic stem cells.

Project description:The role of microRNAs (miRNA) in first cell fate choice of the preimplantation mouse embryo remains unresolved, as gene expression and knockout data are conflicting. This cell fate choice generates the extraembryonic lineage of the trophoblast and the embryonic lineage of the epiblast (inner cell mass). The trophoblast differentiates into polar and mural cells, where polar cells contribute to placental development and mural cells to the implantation process and Reichert’s membrane. The inner cell mass further differentiates into the epiblast and primitive endoderm. We used stem cell lines that can be derived from the trophoblast and epiblast lineages to address the role of miRNAs in early lineage cell fate specification and determination. Using embryonic stem cells (ESC) and trophoblast stem cells (TSC) as starting and ending states of cell development we identified a network of TSC expressed miRNAs that are enriched in ESC targets mRNA. We used constitutive and inducible expression of TSC enriched miRNAs in ESC and show that they can drive cell morphology and gene expression profiles similar to trophoblast. Additionally we show that this process required HDAC2 inhibition and is miRNA specific, as cardiac specific miR-1 could not induce trophoblast under these conditions. In contrast to embryo derived and Cdx2 induced trophoblast cells, miRNAs promote a mural TE like cell phenotype. Transplantation into preimplantation mouse embryos showed that miRNA-induced trophoblast preferentially contributes to the mural trophoblast in both the blastocyst and the Reichert’s membrane. Our data support a role for miRNAs and HDACs in the specification of the trophoblast and potentially the polar and mural cell types.

WNT signalling activity on epiblast cells (RNA-seq analysis)

Project description:The impact of WNT signalling activity on the acquisition and restriction of lineage propensity of germ layer progenitors and the gene network activity for cell fate decision during the development of the embryonic head was modelled in the epiblast stem cells derived and maintained under different signalling conditions. Our findings showed that the modulation of WNT activity is critical for the specification of the anterior (head) tissue progenitors in the multipotent early epiblast and the repression of WNT activity enhances the ectoderm lineage potency of the epiblast cells and poises the activation of endogenous WNT activity that drives neurogenesis during head morphogenesis.
