Digital reconstruction of spatiotemporal atlas unveils the cellular origins and signaling networks underlying early mouse organogenesis

ABSTRACT: Spatiotemporal gene expression and signaling orchestration are pivotal for shaping the patterns of early embryonic development. Here we profiled 360 serial sections (10-mm thickness) across 6 whole embryos during early organogenesis to generate a comprehensive spatial transcriptomic map at single-cell resolution. We developed SEU-3D to reconstruct "digital embryos", providing a virtual representation and investigation of regionalized gene expression in its native spatial context. By combining these measurements with space-informed gene-cell co-embedding analysis, we have systematically characterized the spatial atlas of endoderm and mesoderm over time, elucidating the intricate networks of cell signaling that traverse germ layers and cell types. Furthermore, we observed regionalized identity of cells along the anterior boundary between embryonic and extra-embryonic tissues of the cardiac crescent, which reflects their cellular origins, and the coordinated signaling further patterning these cells into cardiac-specific territories. Collectively, the reconstruction of single-cell resolution whole “digital embryo” provides significant insights into early mouse organogenesis, offering a unique platform for future investigations into the mechanisms underlying embryonic development.

Spatial transcriptomic maps of whole mouse embryos

Project description:Precise spatiotemporal orchestration of gene expression is required for proper embryonic development. The application of high throughput single-cell technologies have provided comprehensive transcriptomic definitions of cell states within the embryo, but our knowledge of their spatial localization remains elusive. To explore early mouse organogenesis, we used Slide-seq to generate high-resolution maps of whole E8.5 and E9.5 mouse embryos. We developed sc3D, a tool for creating a three-dimensional (3D) 'digital embryo,' which allowed us to quantitatively decipher regionalized gene expression across multiple tissues. Our transcriptomic atlas facilitated us to characterize gene expression patterns along the anteroposterior and dorsoventral axes, with a particular emphasis on neural tube development. We nominated and functionally characterized Prdm8, a histone methyltransferase, as a neural tube patterning gene. Furthermore, we were able to determine the transcriptional identity of ectopic neural tubes in a classical Tbx6 mutant, which provided us with additional insights into neural tube patterning. Taken together, we combined computational and experimental tools to generate a framework that enables systematic spatiotemporal dissection of complex embryonic structures via high-throughput profiling of molecular phenotypes, thereby paving the way for the investigation of congenital and developmental abnormalities.

Transcription profiling of mouse ES cells bearing a targeted, doxycycline inducible Mesp1 transgene were differentiated in the absence or presence of DKK1

Project description:During gastrulation, cells of the prospective mesoderm ingress through the primitive streak and acquire fates based on complex spatial and temporal cues. Progenitors of the cardiogenic mesoderm are first found at E6.5 in the posterior lateral epiblast and subsequently migrate laterally and anteriorly to form the cardiac crescent at E7.5, when regionalized cell fates are first delineated . Lineage tracing and heterotopic transplantation studies suggest that precursors in the earliest heart field possess potential to generate myocardium, endocardium, and pericardium. The mechanisms by which inductive signals in the primitive streak effect the development of this pancardiac progenitor field, however, remain poorly understood; In mice, the earliest restricted progenitors of the cardiovascular system are marked by expression of the basic helix-loop-helix transcription factor, Mesp1. We therefore use microarray analysis to determine the early and intermediate effects of transiently forced Mesp1 expression during ES cell differentiation. Experiment Overall Design: ES cells bearing a targeted, doxycycline inducible Mesp1 transgene were differentiated in the absence or presence of DKK1 from day 0-4, either with or without transient doxycycline treatment from day 2-4.

Capturing cardiogenesis in gastruloids

Project description:Organoids are powerful models for studying tissue development, physiology, and disease. However, current culture systems disrupt the inductive tissue-tissue interactions needed for the complex morphogenetic processes of native organogenesis. Here we show that mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs) can be coaxed to robustly undergo fundamental steps of early heart organogenesis with an in vivo-like spatiotemporal fidelity. These axially patterned embryonic organoids (gastruloids) mimic embryonic development, and support the generation of cardiovascular progenitors, including first and second heart fields. The cardiac progenitors self-organize into an anterior domain reminiscent of a cardiac crescent before forming a beating cardiac tissue near a putative primitive gut-like tube, from which it is separated by an endocardial-like layer. These findings unveil the surprising morphogenetic potential of mESCs to execute key aspects of organogenesis through the coordinated development of multiple tissues. This platform could be an excellent tool for studying heart development in unprecedented detail and throughput.

Single-cell RNA-seq of the mouse developing heart (pilot study)

Project description:The vertebrate heart is the first organ to form in the embryo and is composed of mesodermal progenitors that arise in an area termed the cardiac crescent. These give rise not only to muscle cells but also to a variety of other cell types, all of which work together to allow the heart to beat rhythmically. Current understanding of when and how these different cell types arise during early cardiogenesis is limited. Therefore, we microdissected the cardiac crescent region of mouse embryos at different stages of development -from when the structure is first present until the linear heart tube (LHT) stage- and performed single-cell RNA-sequencing. The present submission contains pilot data from the LHT.

Digital spatial profiling revealed the mechanism involved in the progression of affected glomeruli in ANCA associated glomerulonephritis [RNA-Seq]

Project description:We previously showed that the rupture of Bowman’s capsule (BC) promotes the progression of crescent glomerulonephritis by enhancing CD8+ T cell entry into the glomeruli. In the present study, we utilized digital spatial profiling to simultaneously profile the altered mRNA transcript and protein abundances in the glomerular and periglomerular areas of biopsy samples of ANCA-associated glomerulonephritis. The paraffin-embedded biopsy samples were stained with Collagen IV, CD45, and Syto13 to distinguish the glomeruli with crescent formation but intact BC, with focal BC rupture, and with extensive rupture of BC and glomeruli without crescent formation and leukocytes infiltration in ANCA-GN. By assessing multiple discrete glomerular areas, we found that the transcript expression level of secreted phosphoprotein 1and its receptor CD44 were upregulated significantly in the glomeruli with more severe ruptures of BC, and their expression levels correlated positively with the fibrotic markers. We also found that 1) both alternative and classic complement pathways were activated in the glomeruli from patients with ANCA-GN; 2) M1 macrophages involved mostly in the early stage of BC rupture while M2 macrophages were involved in the late stage and may contribute to the fibrosis process of the crescents, and 3) apoptosis is likely the mechanism mediating the loss of glomerular cells in ANCA-GN. Our results demonstrate that digital spatial profiling allows the comparative analysis of mRNA and protein profiles in the individual glomeruli affected differently by the disease processes and to identify potential novel mechanisms in patients with ANCA-GN.

A single-cell atlas of pig gastrulation as a resource for comparative embryology

Project description:The bilaminar disc of early pig embryos closely mirrors that of humans making it a powerful model for studying gastrulation. Given the difficulties obtaining embryos in non-rodents, early cell-fate decisions during mammalian gastrulation remain ill-understood. Here we present a single-cell transcriptomic atlas of pig gastrulation and early organogenesis. We uncover the dynamics of cell fate emergence during pig peri-gastrulation and reveal conserved and species-specific transcriptional programs across different mammals. Combined with investigations in embryos and embryonic stem cells, we elucidate the spatial, molecular, and temporal events during definitive endoderm (DE) formation. We show that early FOXA2+ epiblast progenitors become DE without undergoing epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition, contrasting later emerging FOXA2/TBXT+ anterior primitive streak, which form node/notochord progenitors. We demonstrate that DE fate is driven by hypoblast-derived NODAL signalling, which is extinguished upon DE differentiation. These findings highlight the interplay between temporal and topological signalling during early cell fate decisions during mammalian gastrulation.

Gastrulation-stage gene expression in Nipbl+/- mouse embryos foreshadows the development of syndromic birth defects

Project description:In animal models, Nipbl-deficiency phenocopies gene expression changes and birth defects seen in Cornelia de Lange Syndrome (CdLS), the most common cause of which is Nipbl-haploinsufficiency. Previous studies in Nipbl+/- mice identified aberrant gene expression and heart defects as early as cardiac crescent (CC) stage. Here, we performed single-cell RNA-sequencing on wildtype (WT) and Nipbl+/- mouse embryos at CC- and earlier (gastrulation) stages. Nipbl+/- embryos had fewer mesoderm cells than WT and altered proportions of mesodermal cell subpopulations. These findings were associated with an underexpression of genes implicated in driving specific mesodermal lineages. Nipbl+/- embryos also misexpressed developmentally-critical genes, including the transcription factor, Nanog, and genes governing left-right and anterior-posterior patterning. These events of cell misallocation and transcriptional dysregulation foreshadowed defects in tissue composition and patterning that arise later in Nipbl+/- mice, offering insights into early developmental contributions to birth defects in CdLS.
