Genome-wide identification of notochord enhancers comprising the regulatory landscape of the Brachyury (T) locus in mouse

ABSTRACT: The node and notochord are important signaling centers organizing dorso-ventral patterning of cells arising from neuro-mesodermal progenitors forming the embryonic body anlage. Due to the scarcity of notochordal progenitors and notochord cells, a comprehensive identification of regulatory elements driving notochord-specific gene expression has been lacking. Here we have used ATAC-seq analysis of FACS-purified notochordal cells from TS12-13 mouse embryos to identify 8921 putative enhancers of notochordal cells. In addition, we established a new model for generating notochordal cells in culture, and identified 3728 enhancers occupied by the essential notochordal regulators Brachyury (T) and/or Foxa2. We describe the regulatory landscape of the T locus comprising 8 putative enhancers occupied by these factors and confirmed the regulatory activity of 3 of these elements. Moreover, we characterized one new notochord enhancer, termed TNE2, in embryos. TNE2 complements the loss of TNE in the trunk notochord, and is essential for notochordal cell proliferation and differentiation in the tail. Our data demonstrate the essential role of Foxa2 in the choice of T expressing cells between the notochordal fate and the NMP/mesodermal trajectory

Human notochordal cell transcriptome in the developing intervertebral disc

Project description:The adult nucleus pulposus originates from the embryonic notochord, but loss of notochordal cells with skeletal maturity in humans is believed to initiate intervertebral disc degeneration. Thus, defining the phenotype of human embryonic/fetal notochordal cells is essential for understanding their roles and for development of novel therapies. However, a detailed transcriptomic profiling of human notochordal cells has never been achieved. In this study, the notochord-specific marker CD24 was used to specifically label and isolate (using FACS) notochordal cells from human embryonic and fetal spines (7.5-14 weeks post-conception), which were studied by microarray analysis.

Characterisation of the molecular signature of an 8 week-old human embryonic notochord

Project description:During embryonic development, the notochord is the precursor to the nucleus pulposus (NP) in the intervertebral disc (IVD), where the notochord cells differentiate to become notochordal-like cells in the NP, and are considered as potential progenitor cells to support the function of the NP. With aging and degeneration, there is a loss of these cells from the NP which ultimately affects IVD function. The characterisation of the molecular signature of the 8 week-old (gestational age) human embryonic notochord is a valuable resource to better understand the development from the notochord to the NP progenitors and as a benchmark for comparison to other datasets.

Transcription profiling of Xenopus laevis developing notochord

Project description:We screened for differentially expressed genes in the developing notochord using the Affymetrix microarray system in Xenopus laevis. At late gastrula, we dissected four regions from the embryo, anterior mesoderm, posterior mesoderm, notochord and presomitic mesoderm. Three types of comparison were carried out to generate a list of predominantly notochord expressed genes: (1) Posterior mesoderm vs. anterior mesoderm; notochord genes are expected to be increased since the notochord is located in the posterior mesoderm. (2) Posterior mesoderm vs. whole embryos; notochord genes are expected to be increased. (3) Notochord vs. somite. This comparison sub-divided the group of posterior mesodermal genes identified in (1) and (2). All tissues are dissected using tungsten needles. We first dissected dorsal tissue above the archenteron from late gastrula to early neurula. To loosen tissue, we treated the dissected dorsal explant in a 1% cysteine solution (pH 7.4) and removed the neuroectodermal layer. Anterior mesoderm was dissected corresponding to about the anterior one-third of the archenteron roof, and the rest was collected as posterior mesoderm. The posterior mesodermal explant was dissected into notochord and somites, following a clearly visible border between the two tissues. The accuracy of all dissection was confirmed by RT-PCR of marker genes.

Insm1 cooperates with Neurod1 and Foxa2 to maintain mature pancreatic β-cell function (Insm1, Neurod1 and Foxa2 ChipSeq data from pancreatic beta cell)

Project description:Genome-wide Insm1 binding sites analysis revealed an overrepresentation of sequences predicted to bind bHLH and/or forkhead factors, and further analyses demonstrated that most Insm1 sites in the genome are co-occupied by Neurod1 and Foxa2. Binding regions co-occupied by all three factors but not single Insm1 sites explained a significant fraction of gene expression changes in Insm1 mutant β-cells. Together, our data provide evidence that an Insm1, Neurod1 and Foxa2 network maintains a mature gene expression program in β-cells. 6 samples include, replicates of Insm1 and Foxa2, IgG pull down as a control

Neural tube organoids self-organise floorplate through BMP-mediated cluster competition

Project description:The neural tube (NT) has been a hallmark example of embryonic induction and patterning whereby the notochord induces an organiser, the floorplate, that secretes Sonic Hedgehog (SHH) to pattern the surrounding field of neural progenitors. On the other hand, NT organoids (NTOs) formed from embryonic stem cells (ESCs) undergo spontaneous floorplate formation and patterning in the absence of their normal embryonic inducers. Understanding how stem cells undergo regulative organiser formation is a central challenge in biology. Here, we investigated the self-organisation of a SHH-expressing floorplate organiser using clonal mouse NTOs. Expression of FOXA2, a floorplate transcription factor, was initially spatially scattered before resolving into multiple clusters. These FOXA2+ clusters underwent competition and physical sorting, resulting in a stable “winning” floorplate. We identified BMP signalling as a key governor of long-range cluster competition. FOXA2+ clusters expressed BMP4 ligand suppressing FOXA2 in receiving cells, while simultaneously expressing the BMP-inhibitor NOGGIN to secure FOXA2+ cluster survival. Genetic mutation of Noggin perturbed the floorplate not only in NTOs but also in vivo at the mid-hindbrain region of the mouse NT. These results demonstrate how the floorplate can form autonomously without its well-known inducer, the notochord, suggesting redundant mechanisms ensuring robustness. Defining molecular pathways that govern organiser self-organisation is critical in harnessing the developmental plasticity of stem cells toward directed tissue engineering.

Scl specifies hemogenic endothelium and inhibits cardiogenesis via primed enhancers [ChIP-seq]

Project description:Scl/Tal1 confers hemogenic competence and prevents cardiomyogenesis in embryonic endothelium. Here we show that Scl both directly activates a broad gene regulatory network required for hematopoietic stem/progenitor cell (HS/PC) development, and represses transcriptional regulators required for cardiogenesis. Cardiac repression occurs during a short developmental window through Scl binding to distant cardiac enhancers that harbor H3K4me1 at this stage. Scl binding to hematopoietic regulators extends throughout HS/PC and erythroid development and spreads from distant enhancers to promoters. Surprisingly, Scl complex partners Gata 1 and 2 are dispensable for hematopoietic versus cardiac specification and Scl binding to the majority of its target genes. Nevertheless, Gata factors co-operate with Scl to activate selected transcription factors to facilitate HS/PC emergence from hemogenic endothelium. These results uncover a dual function for Scl in dictating hematopoietic versus cardiac fate choice and suggest a mechanism by which lineage-specific bHLH factors direct the divergence of competing fates.

Chromatin immunopreciptiation of liver from wild type and Foxa2 knock out mice to identify Foxa2 binding sites

Project description:In order to identify the subset of genes directly regulated by Foxa2 in the liver, we performed genome-wide location analysis. Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) samples from livers of wild type and Foxa2 liver-conditional null mice (Foxa2loxP/loxPAlfp.Cre) were hybridized to a mouse enhancer/promoter microarray with more than 36,000 elements (BCBCPromChip 5). This analysis identified 574 enhancer and promoter regions, corresponding to 484 unique genes, as occupied by Foxa2 in the adult liver.
