Employing totipotent cells to reconstruct embryogenesis [RNA-seq]

ABSTRACT: Blastoids, a structure similar to blastocysts in morphological and molecular level, can be applied to regeneration research. Using totipotent cells to construct blastoids will extend the information of early development to an earlier stage, and explore clues of regeneration. Totipotent blastomere-like cells (TBLCs) are a novel type of stably cultured mouse totipotent cell line generated by inhibiting spliceosomes. Here, we constructed blastoids (TBL-blastoids) in a new three-dimensional culture system using TBLCs. Morphological and transcriptomic analysis revealed TBL-blastoids contained typical morphology and key cell lineages of blastocysts and had higher degree of consistency in developmental rate and morphology compared to other blastoids. Moreover, TBL-blastoids implanted into uterus, induced decidua and even developed to embryonic tissues, indicating their in vivo developmental potential. The expansion and structures of TBL-blastoids in the IVC system also showed their in vitro developmental potential. The efficiency of generating TBL-blastoids and implantation rate suggest the necessity of TE-like component formation. Meanwhile, TBLCs can differentiate into extraembryonic cell lines directly, which provides an alternative strategy for evaluating totipotency. Furthermore, we explored the impacts of senescence, a central role in regeneration, on TBLCs and found that cellular senescence impaired the totipotency of TBLCs and the efficiency of generating blastoids. Also, the in vivo and in vitro developmental potential of TBL-blastoids were declined. In conclusion, the induction of TBLCs into blastoids and extraembryonic cells is valuable for promoting regeneration, early embryonic development study and evaluating totipotency.

Highly efficient generation of blastocyst-like structures from mouse totipotent blastomere-like cells

Project description:Mammalian embryogenesis begins with a totipotent zygote. Early embryogenesis can be recapitulated by aggregated extended pluripotent stem cells (EPSCs) in a 3D culture system. However, the efficiency of generating blastoids is low and whether other reported totipotent stem cells retained a similar capacity remains unknown. Here we show that spliceosomal repressed totipotent blastomere-like cells (TBLCs) form blastocyst-like structures when aggregated in 3D microwells with around 80% efficiency. TBLC-blastoids resemble blastocysts in morphology and cell-lineage allocation, show similar transcriptional profile with natural blastocysts and contain more TE cells and fewer undefined intermediate cells compared to blastoids from EPSCs. Moreover, TBLC-blastoids can develop beyond the implantation stage in vitro and induce decidualization after transferred into uterus. In summary, we supply an alternative cell type to generate ameliorated blastoids highly efficiently for studying early mouse embryogenesis.

Generation of human blastocyst-like structures from pluripotent stem cells

Project description:Due to ethical concerns and restricted access to human blastocysts, we lack a comprehensive understanding of early human embryogenesis. A reliable model system that can recapitulate early stages of human embryogenesis would help solve this problem.Here we report a robust three-dimensional (3D), two-step induction protocol for generating blastocyst-like structures (EPS-blastoids) from human extended pluripotent stem (EPS) cells. Morphological and single-cell transcriptomic analyses revealed that EPS-blastoids contain key cell lineages and are transcriptionally similar to human blastocysts. Furthermore, EPS-blastoids also exhibited the developmental potential to undergo post-implantation morphogenesis in vitro to form structures with a cellular composition and transcriptome signature similar to human embryos that had been cultured in vitro for 8 or 10 days. In conclusion, human EPS-blastoids provide a robust new experimental platform for studying early developmental stages of the human embryo.

Global transcriptional analysis of mouse totipotent potential stem cells and extended pluripotent stem cells

Project description:It is challenging to derive totipotent stem cells in vitro that functionally and molecularly resemble cells from totipotent embryos. Here, we report that a chemical cocktail enables the derivation of totipotent-like stem cells, designated as totipotent potential stem (TPS) cells, from 2-cell mouse embryos and extended pluripotent stem cells that can be stably maintained long-term in vitro. TPS cells shared transcriptomic features with 2-cell mouse embryos and express totipotent markers. In vivo chimeric assays show that these cells have embryonic and extraembryonic developmental potentials at the single cell level. Moreover, we show that TPS cells can be induced into blastocyst-like structures resembling preimplantation mouse blastocysts. Our study demonstrates the feasibility of capturing and maintaining totipotency in vitro.

Generation of human blastocyst-like structures from pluripotent stem cells

Project description:Human blastocysts are comprised of the first three cell lineages of the embryo: trophectoderm, epiblast, and primitive endoderm, all of which are essential for early development and organ formation1,2. However, due to ethical concerns and restricted access to human blastocysts, we lack a comprehensive understanding of early human embryogenesis. To bridge this knowledge gap, we need a reliable model system that recapitulates early stages of human embryogenesis. Here we report a ∼three-dimensional (3D), two-step induction protocol for generating blastocyst-like structures (EPS-blastoids) from human extended pluripotent stem (EPS) cells. Morphological and single-cell transcriptomic analyses revealed that EPS-blastoids contain key cell lineages and are transcriptionally similar to human blastocysts. Furthermore, EPS-blastoids also exhibited the developmental potential to undergo post-implantation morphogenesis in vitro to form structures with a cellular composition and transcriptome signature similar to human embryos that had been cultured in vitro for 8 or 10 days. In conclusion, human EPS-blastoids provide a new experimental platform for studying early developmental stages of the human embryo.

Chemical-induced chromatin remodeling reprograms mouse ESCs to totipotent-like stem cells [ATAC-seq 2]

Project description:Totipotent cells have more robust developmental potency than any other cell types, giving rise to both embryonic and extraembryonic tissues. Stable totipotent cultures and deciphering the principles of totipotency regulation would be invaluable to understand cell plasticity and lineage segregation in early development. Our approach of remodeling the pericentromeric heterochromatin and re-establishing the totipotency-specific broad H3K4me3 domains promotes the pluri-to-totipotency transition. Our protocol establishes a closer match of mouse 2-cell (2C) embryos than any other 2C-like cells. These totipotent-like stem cells (TLSCs) are stable in culture and possess unique molecular features of the mouse 2C embryo. Functionally, TLSCs are competent for germline transmission and give rise to both embryonic and extraembryonic lineages at high frequency. Therefore, TLSCs represent a highly valuable cell type for studies of totipotency and embryology.
