The somites are a source of nephron progenitors in zebrafish

ABSTRACT: For over a century it has been believed that the vertebrate kidney arises exclusively from the intermediate mesoderm[1]. Here, we overturn this paradigm by demonstrating that some nephrons, the functional units of the kidney originate from the somites blocks of paraxial mesoderm best known for their contribution to muscle and connective tissues. Using a combination of the GESTALT technique to assign developmental ancestry, somite transplantation experiments and Cre-lox fate-mapping, we show that somites can contribute to the nephrons in the adult zebrafish kidney. Our findings uncover an unexpected developmental connection between the somites and kidneys, potentially offering new pathways for developing regenerative treatments for kidney diseases.

Paraxial mesoderm organoids model development of human somites

Project description:During the development of the vertebrate embryo, segmented structures called somites are periodically formed from the presomitic mesoderm (PSM), and give rise to the vertebral column. While somite formation has been studied in several animal models, it is less clear how well this process is conserved in humans. Recent progress has made it possible to study aspects of human paraxial mesoderm development such as the human segmentation clock in vitro using human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs), however, somite formation has not been observed in these monolayer cultures. Here, we describe the generation of human paraxial mesoderm (PM) organoids from hPSCs (termed Somitoids), which recapitulate the molecular, morphological and functional features of paraxial mesoderm development, including formation of somite-like structures in vitro. Using a quantitative image-based screen, we identify critical parameters such as initial cell number and signaling modulations that reproducibly yielded somite formation in our organoid system. In addition, using single-cell RNA sequencing and 3D imaging, we show that PM organoids both transcriptionally and morphologically resemble their in vivo counterparts and can be differentiated into somite derivatives. Our organoid system is reproducible and scalable, allowing for the systematic and quantitative analysis of human spinal cord development and disease in vitro.

ATAC-seq of mouse individual epithelial somites through development

Project description:Somites are transient embryonic structures consisting of hundreds of cells that bud off from the anterior tip of the presomitic mesoderm (PSM) on each side of the neural tube. They give rise to the vertebrae and associated skeletal muscles, nerves, and blood vessels. To characterise the transcriptional changes that orchestrate mouse somitogenesis, we have generated coupled RNA-seq and ATAC-seq profiles of individual somites, across embryonic development. We collected the three most posterior pairs of somites, which correspond to those most recently segmented, from embryos containing 8, 18, 21, 25, 27 and 35 pairs of somites. The three somites are labelled I, II and III from the most posterior to the most anterior. From each pair, one somite was used for RNA-seq and the other one for ATAC-seq.

Transcription profiling of Theiler stage 17 wild type mouse anterior vs posterior mouse sclerotome

Project description:This experiment was performed in order to identify transcriptional differences between the anterior- and posterior-halves of mouse sclerotome. Cells-derived from the anterior- and posterior-sclerotome-halves from maturing mouse somites were compared to identify transcripts that are differentially expressed between these two halves of the somite. c57b6-/- female mice were time-mated, and at 9.5-dpc embryos were harvested. Theiler stage 17 embryos were selected for dissection. A stripe of segmented paraxial mesoderm corresponding to somites SX-SXVIII (standard somite nomenclature) was dissected from one-side of an embryo. The most anterior-third of up to 7 sclerotomes within each sample were dissected and pooled in RNALater. RNA was isolated using RNeasy Micro RNA extraction spin columns (Qiagen). Reverse transcription and initial cDNA amplification was performed using 18 PCR cycles with the SMART cDNA system (Clontech). Amplified cDNA was then re-amplified and labeled using the GeneChip® IVT Labeling Kit (Affymetrix).

Transcriptomic Profiling of Developing Human Paraxial Mesoderm from 4.5-5 Weeks of Gestation Human Embryos

Project description:Somites form during embryonic development and give rise to unique cell and tissue types, such as skeletal muscles and bones and cartilages of the vertebrae. Using somitogenesis stage human embryos, we performed the first ever transcriptomic profiling of human presomitic mesoderm as well as nascent and developed somites. Using this approach we uncovered novel regulators unique duing human somitogensis, and efficiently guided human pluripotent stem cells to differentiate to somite cells and downstream progeny. This work improves our understanding of human somite development and may enhance our ability to model and treat diseases affecting somite derivatives.

expression profiles in the chicken PSM differentiation at Stage 12HH chicken embryo

Project description:To examine global gene expression profile of chicken early paraxial mesoderm differentiation, we microdissected stage 12HH chicken PSM regions into 20 pieces (10 pieces both left-right PSM), including the tail bud, the PSM and somites. We create microarray series using these fragments.
