Specificity protein 6 governs human cytotrophoblast fate decisions and trophoblast stem cell establishment by targeting MSX2 regulatory elements [ChIP-seq]

ABSTRACT: The commitment and differentiation of human placental progenitor cytotrophoblast (CT) cells are crucial for a successful pregnancy, but the underlying regulatory mechanism remains poorly understood. Here we identified the transcription factor (TF), Specificity protein 6 (SP6), as a human species-specific trophoblast lineage TF expressed in human placental CT cells. Using pluripotent stem cells as a model, we demonstrated that SP6 governs CT generation and the establishment of trophoblast stem cells (TSCs) and discovered msh homeobox 2 (MSX2) as the downstream effector in these events. Mechanistically, we showed that SP6 interacts with histone acetyltransferase P300 to modulate the landscape of H3K27ac at targeted regulatory elements, thereby favoring transcriptional activation and facilitating CT cell fate decisions and TSC maintenance. Our results established SP6 as a novel regulator of the human trophoblast lineage and implied its regulatory role in placental development and the pathogenies of placental diseases.

MSX2 safeguards syncytiotrophoblast fate of human TSCs

Project description:The majority of placental pathologies arise from failures in trophoblast differentiation, yet the underlying transcriptional regulation is poorly understood. Here, we use human trophoblast stem cells to elucidate the function of the transcription factor MSX2 in trophoblast specification. We show that depletion of MSX2 de-represses the syncytiotrophoblast program, while forced expression of MSX2 blocks it. We demonstrate that a large proportion of the affected genes are directly bound and regulated by MSX2 and identify components of the SWI/SNF complex as its strong interactors. Our findings uncover the pivotal role of MSX2 in cell fate decisions that govern human placental development and function.

Regulation of endogenous retrovirus-derived regulatory elements by GATA2/3 and MSX2 in human trophoblast stem cells (ChIP-seq)

Project description:The placenta is an organ with extraordinary phenotypic diversity in eutherian mammals. Recent evidence suggest that numerous human placental enhancers are evolved from lineage-specific insertions of endogenous retroviruses (ERVs), yet the transcription factors (TFs) underlying their regulation remain largely elusive. Here, by first focusing on MER41, a primate-specific ERV family previously linked to placenta and innate immunity, we uncover the binding motifs of multiple crucial trophoblast TFs (GATA2/3, MSX2, GRHL2) in addition to innate immuninty TFs STAT1 and IRF1. Integration of ChIP-Seq data confirms the binding of GATA2/3 and MSX2 on the majority of MER41-derived enhancers in human trophoblast stem cells (TSCs). Notably, the usb-family composition of MER41-derived enhancers that are active in human TSCs are distinct from those activated upon interferon stimulation, which is determined by the binding of trophoblast TFs. We further demonstrate that GATA2/3 and MSX2 have prevalent binding on numerous other ERV families – indicating their broad impact on ERV-derived placental enhancers. Functionally, the derepression of many syncytiotrophoblast genes after disruption of MSX2 is likely to be mediated by enhancers derived from ERVs – suggesting ERVs are also important for mediating transcriptional repression in human TSCs. Overall, this study characterized the prevalent binding of GATA2/3, MSX2 and their co-factors on ERV-derived enhancers in human TSCs and provided mechanistic insights into the importance of ERVs in human trophoblast regulatory network.

Human primed and naïve PSCs are equally potent in differentiating into bona fide trophoblast stem cells (ATAC-Seq)

Project description:Cells of the trophoblast lineage constitute the major part of placental tissues in higher mammals. Recent derivation of human trophoblast stem cells (TSC) from placental cytotrophoblasts (CT) and from blastocyst opens new opportunities for studying development and function of human placenta. Here we report that inhibition of TGF pathway leads to direct and robust conversion of primed human pluripotent stem cells into TSC. The resulting cell lines exhibit self-renewal, are able to differentiate into the main trophoblast lineages, and present RNA and epigenetic profiles that are indistinguishable from the TSC lines derived from placenta or blastocyst. Furthermore, activation of YAP pathway is necessary and sufficient for this conversion.

Transcriptomic profile of human placenta derived trophoblast organoid cultures with its tissue of origin, human placental villi.

Project description:The aim of this microarray experiment was to compare the overall transcriptomic profile of human placenta derived trophoblast organoid cultures with its tissue of origin, human placental villi. As the placental villi contains both trophoblast and stromal populations, we have included placenta derived stromal cultures in this comparison.

Regulation of human trophoblast gene expression by endogenous retroviruses [RNA-seq]

Project description:The placenta is a fast-evolving organ that displays large morphological and histological differences across eutherians, but the genetic changes driving placental evolution have not been fully elucidated. Transposable elements, through their capacity to quickly generate genetic variation and affect host gene regulation, may have helped to define species-specific trophoblast gene expression programmes. Here were assessed the contribution of transposable elements to human trophoblast gene expression by acting as enhancers or promoters. Using epigenomic data from primary trophoblast and human stem cell lines, we identified multiple endogenous retrovirus families with regulatory potential that lie close to genes with preferential trophoblast expression. These largely primate-specific elements are associated with inter-species gene expression differences, and are bound by transcription factors with key roles in placental development. Using genetic editing we demonstrated that several elements act as expression enhancers of important placental genes, such as CSF1R and PSG5. We also identified an LTR10A element that regulates ENG expression, affecting trophoblast migration and secretion of soluble ENG, with potential implications for preeclampsia. Our data show that transposons have made important contributions to human trophoblast gene regulation, and suggest that their activity may affect pregnancy outcomes.
