Induction of embryonic axes by distinct population of the Hensens's node [scRNA_HH6_TrunkGraft]

ABSTRACT: The vertebrate body plan is established during gastrulation through the activity of the organizer, a specialized group of cells that harbors the ability to instruct fate and morphogenesis in the early embryo. In Xenopus, the organizer is segregated into head and trunk subpopulations, which promote the patterning of the embryonic antero-posterior axis. Here we profiled the avian organizer populations located in the Hensen’s node using single-cell RNA-seq. Our results reveal that the chick organizer is composed of two distinct populations expressing factors known to regulate the formation of head structures and posterior mesoderm. Mapping of trajectory analysis and RNA-velocity of the Hensen’s node in different embryonic stages indicate that the segregation into head and trunk subpopulations occurs at late gastrula stage HH4. The trunk population induces the formation of notochord and somites when ectopically grafted into a host embryo.

Transcription profiling of mouse Cdx2+/-Cdx4-/- mutant embryos versus wild type embryos at the 13 somite stage

Project description:Hox and Cdx transcription factors regulate embryonic positional identities. Cdx mutant mice display posterior body truncations of the axial skeleton, neuraxis, and caudal uro-rectal structures. We show that trunk Hox genes stimulate axial extension as they can largely rescue these Cdx mutant phenotypes. Conversely, posterior (paralog group 13) Hox genes can prematurely arrest posterior axial growth when precociously expressed. Our data suggest that the transition from trunk to tail Hox gene expression successively regulates construction and termination of axial structures in the mouse embryo. Thus, Hox genes seem to differentially orchestrate posterior expansion of embryonic tissues during axial morphogenesis as an integral part of their function in specifying head-to-tail identity. In addition, we present evidence that Cdx and Hox transcription factors exert these effects by controlling Wnt signaling. Concomitant regulation of Cyp26a1 expression, restraining retinoic acid signaling in the posterior growth zone, may likewise play a role in timing the trunk-tail transition. Experiment Overall Design: A micro-array screen of down regulated and upregulated genes in Cdx2+/-Cdx4-/- mutant embryos versus wildtype embryos was performed at the embryonic stage of 13 somites. RNA was isolated from the posterior part of the embryos dissected at the same axial level using the last somite boundary as a landmark. Posterior tissues from pools of 7 embryos of each genotype were pooled. The labeled cRNAs were hybridized on 4X44K Agilent Whole Mouse Genome dual colour Microarrays (G4122F) in a dye swap experiment, resulting in two individual microarrays.

Transcriptomic landscape of developing Presomitic mesoderm (PSM)

Project description:Stem cell-derived tissues have wide potential for modelling developmental and pathological processes as well as cell-based therapy. However, it has proven difficult to generate several key cell types in vitro, including skeletal muscle. In vertebrates, skeletal muscles derive during embryogenesis from the presomitic mesoderm (PSM). Using PSM development as a guide to establish conditions for the differentiation of monolayer cultures of embryonic stem (ES) cells into PSM-like cells without the introduction of transgenes or cell sorting. We generated a high resolution transcriptome expression landscape along the PSM of the mouse embryo, by microdissecting consecutive fragment of the PSM along the antero-posterior axis of the embryo. We took advantage of the observation that during development of embryo, the antero-posterior spatial position of the tissue is directly correlated to its differentiation (time) stage, thus generating an expression time-course of presomitic mesoderm development.

Molecular characterization of chick anterior and posterior half-scleorotomes by RNA-sequencing.

Project description:During amniote peripheral nervous system development, segmentation ensures the correct patterning of the spinal nerves relative to vertebral column. Along the antero-posterior (rostro-caudal) axis, each somite-derived half-sclerotome has intrinsic molecular properties that govern this segmentation process. Posterior half-sclerotomes express repellent molecules to restrict axon growth and neural crest migration to anterior half-sclerotomes. Here, we report an RNA-sequencing-based molecular characterization of anterior and posterior half-sclerotomes, using the chick embryo as a model organism.
