Mouse trophoblast cells have attenuated responses to TNFα and IFNγ that allow them to avoid synergic cytotoxicity of the two cytokines

ABSTRACT: TNFα and IFNg are two inflammatory cytokines that play critical roles in immune responses, but they can also negatively affect cell proliferation and viability. In particular, the combination of the two cytokines (TNFα/IFNγ) synergistically causes death in many cell types. We recently demonstrated that, mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs) isolated from the inner cell mass of the blastocyst stage embryo, do not respond to TNFα and IFNg, thereby avoiding TNFα/IFNγ cytotoxicity. This study expanded our investigation to mouse trophoblast stem cells (TSCs) and differentiated trophoblasts (TSC-TBs), the major cellular constituents in trophectoderm of the blastocyst. We report here that TNFα or IFNγ alone has limited negative effect on the viability of mouse fibroblasts, but TNFα/IFNγ effectively kill these cells. However, TSCs and TSC-TBs are markedly resistant to the cytotoxicity of TNFα/IFNγ. With molecular and cellular approaches and transcriptomic analysis, we demonstrated that TSCs and TSC-TBs have attenuated responses to TNFα and IFNγ and the underlying molecular mechanisms that allow these cells to avoid the synergistic cytotoxicity of TNFα/IFNγ. Together with our previous findings in ESCs, we propose that the attenuated responses of TSCs, TSC-TBs, and ESCs to TNFα and IFNγ may serve as a protective mechanism that limits cytokine cytotoxicity in the blastocyst.

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.

Esrrb plays an important role in maintaining self-renewal of trophoblast stem cells (TSCs) and reprogramming somatic cells to induced TSCs [ChIP-Seq]

Project description:Trophoblast stem cells (TSCs) are derived from the trophoectoderm of a blastocyst and can maintain self-renewal in vitro. Meanwhile, essential insights into the molecular mechanisms controlling placental developmental could be gained by using TSCs that can differentiate into the various placental trophoblast cell types in vitro. Esrrb is a transcription factor with pivotal roles in maintaining TSCs’ self-renewal, but the exact transcriptional networks that Esrrb involved in TSCs are largely unknown. In the present study, we elucidated the function of Esrrb during TSC self-renewal and differentiation. We demonstrate that precise levels of Essrb are critical for TSCs stemness maintenance and normal trophoblast differentiation, as Esrrb depletion results in down-regulation of the key TSC-specific transcription factors, consequently causing TSCs differentiation and forced expression of Esrrb can partially block TSCs differentiation in the absence of FGF4. This function of Esrrb is exerted by directly binding and activating a core set of TSC-specific target genes including Cdx2, Eomes, Sox2, Fgfr4 and BMP4. Furthermore, we investigate the role of Esrrb in reprogramming of mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) to induced TSCs (iTSCs). We show that Esrrb can facilitate the conversion of iTSCs from MEFs. Moreover, Esrrb can substitute for Eomes during this conversion process. Our findings provide a better understanding of the molecular mechanism of Esrrb in maintaining TSCs self-renewal and iTSCs reprogramming.

Large-scale H3.1/H3.2 - H3K9me3 deposition defines the epigenetic signature of extraembryonic lineage cells [Repli-seq]

Project description:The extraembryonic lineage in mammals is unique in its unipotent differentiation ability and gestation-limited development. Here we identified the epigenomic characters of mouse trophoblast stem cells (TSCs) focusing on the genome-wide enrichment of histone H3.1/H3.2 and H3K9me3. Comparative ChIP-sequencing (ChIP-seq) analysis of TSCs and embryonic stem cells (ESCs) revealed that the TSC genome uniquely contained large (over 1Mb) H3.1/H3.2-H3K9me3 domains in the intergenic regions. This feature was common to extraembryonic cells in mice and humans. Depletion of CAF1, a H3.1/H3.2 chaperone, led to downregulation of TSC marker genes such as Cdx2 and Elf5 and ectopic expression of Oct3/4, an ESC marker. Nuclear transfer cloning using TSCs resulted in extremely poor embryonic development, but removal of H3K9me3 from their genome resulted in birth of the first TSC-cloned mice. Thus, the signature of the extraembryonic epigenome is safeguarded by the H3.1/H3.2-H3K9me3 enrichment, which protects the genome from cell fate transition.
