Rif1 and Hmgn3 Regulate Conversion of Murine Trophoblast Stem Cells

ABSTRACT: The arising of trophectoderm (TE) is a hallmark event in preimplantation development during embryogenesis. However, little is known about the mechanisms underlying TE specification. Our findings demonstrate that depletion of Rif1 breaks down the barriers to conversion of trophoblast stem cells (TSCs). Rif1-null induced TSCs show typical TE properties, and differentiation potentials to terminal trophoblast lineages. Global transcriptome analysis reveals that Rif1-null activates 2-cell embryo (2C) related genes and induces a totipotent-like state, which is probably the main reason for the conversion of TSCs from Rif1-null embryonic stem cells (ESCs). Chimeric assays further confirm that Rif1-null ESCs can contribute to TE, further yielding TSCs in vitro. Over-expression of a downstream gene of Rif1, Hmgn3, can also activate 2C related genes and facilitate induction of TSCs. Here, we report two pioneer genes regulating conversion of TSCs and provide insights for investigating the mechanisms of TE specification.

Modulation of HDAC activity directly reprograme embryonic stem cell to trophoblast stem cell [ESC(Day -2) and induced TSC(Day 2) bulk RNA-Seq]

Project description:Embryonic stem cells (ESCs) can differentiate into all cell types of each of the embryonic germ layers. ESCs can also generate totipotent 2C-like cells and trophectodermal cells. However, these latter transitions occur at low frequency due to epigenetic barriers, the nature of which are not fully understood. Here, we show that mouse ESCs treated with sodium butyrate, an HDAC inhibitor, have a greatly increased 2C-like cell population and can transdifferentiate into trophoblast stem cells (TSCs). Interestingly, this ESC to TSC transition is a direct reprogramming event that does not require transition through a 2C-like state. Mechanistically, butyrate inhibits Class I histone deacetylases activities in LSD1-HDAC1/2 corepressor complex, increasing acetylation levels in the regulatory regions of 2C and TSC specific genes. Importantly, butyrate treated cells acquire the capacity to generate blastocyst-like structures that can develop beyond the implantation stage in vitro and induce decidualization in vivo. These results uncover how epigenetic changes can expand the potency of ESCs.

VGLL1 cooperates with TEAD4 to control human trophectoderm lineage specification [scRNA-Seq]

Project description:In contrast to rodents, the mechanisms underlying human trophectoderm and early placenta specification are understudied due to ethical barriers and the scarcity of embryos. Recent reports have shown that human pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) can differentiate into trophectoderm (TE)-like cells (TELCs) and trophoblast stem cells (TSCs), offering a valuable in vitro model to study early placenta specification. Here, we demonstrate that the VGLL1 (vestigial-likefamilymember1), which is highly expressed during human and non-human primate TE specification in vivo but is negligibly expressed in mouse, is a critical regulator of cell fate determination and self-renewal in human TELCs and TSCs derived from naïve PSCs. Mechanistically, VGLL1 partners with the transcription factor TEAD4 (TEA domain transcription factor 4) to regulate chromatin accessibility at target gene loci through histone acetylation and acts in cooperation with GATA3 and TFAP2C. Our work is relevant to understand primate early embryogenesis and how it differs from other mammalian species.

Chemical conversion of human conventional Pluripotent Stem Cells to Trophoblast Stem Cells following transient naive genes activation.

Project description:In human embryos, naive pluripotent cells of the inner cell mass (ICM) generate epiblast, primitive endoderm and trophectoderm (TE) lineage, whence trophoblast cells derive. In vitro, naive pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) retain this potential and efficiently generate trophoblast stem cells (TSCs), while conventional PSCs form TSCs at low efficiency. Transient histone deacetylase and MEK inhibitions with LIF stimulation is used to chemically reset conventional to naive PSCs. Here we report that chemical resetting induces expression of both naive and TSC markers and of placental imprinted genes. A modified chemical resetting protocol allows for the fast and efficient conversion of conventional PSCs into TSCs, entailing shutdown of pluripotency genes and full activation of the trophoblast master regulators, without induction of amnion markers. Chemical resetting generates a plastic intermediate state, characterised by co-expression of naive and TSC markers, after which cells steer towards one of the two fates in response to the signalling environment. The efficiency and rapidity of our system will be useful to study cell fate transitions, and to generate models of placental disorders.

Rif1 Promotes a Repressive Chromatin State to Safeguard Against Endogenous Retrovirus Activation [MeDIP-seq]

Project description:Transposable elements, including endogenous retroviruses (ERVs), constitute a large fraction of the mammalian genome. They are transcriptionally silenced during early development to protect genome integrity and aberrant transcription. However, the mechanisms that control their repression are not fully understood. To systematically study ERV repression, we carried out an RNAi screen in mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and identified a list of novel regulators. Among them, Rif1 displays the strongest effect. Rif1 depletion by RNAi or gene deletion led to increased transcription and increased chromatin accessibility at ERV regions and their neighboring genes. This transcriptional de-repression becomes more severe when DNA methylation is lost. On the mechanistic level, Rif1 directly occupies ERVs and is required for repressive histone mark H3K9me3 and H3K27me3 assembly and DNA methylation. It interacts with histone methyltransferases and facilitates their recruitment to ERV regions. Importantly, Rif1 represses ERVs in human ESCs as well, and the evolutionally-conserved HEAT-like domain is essential for its function. Finally, Rif1 acts as a barrier during somatic cell reprogramming, and its depletion significantly enhances reprogramming efficiency. Together, our study uncovered many previously uncharacterized repressors of ERVs, and defined an essential role of Rif1 in the epigenetic defense against ERV activation.
