Totipotent-Like Cell-Based Embryo Model Recapitulating Mouse Embryogenesis from Pre-Implantation to Gastrulation [RNA-Seq]

ABSTRACT: The development of stem-cell-derived models of mammalian embryogenesis has provided invaluable tools for investigating embryo development. However, constructing embryo models that can continuously recapitulate the full developmental trajectory, from zygotic genome activation (ZGA) to gastrulation, remains a major challenge. Here, we developed a new chemical cocktail to induce totipotent-like cells with robust proliferation ability, and leveraged these cells to establish a stepwise protocol to generate a continuous embryo model. This model sequentially mimics mouse embryogenesis from embryonic day 1.5 to 7.5. It recapitulates key developmental milestones, including ZGA in 2-cell embryos, the diversification of embryonic and extraembryonic lineages from 4-cell to 64-cell stages, the formation of blastocysts, and the subsequent development into post-implantation egg cylinders. Notably, these structures can undergo gastrulation, as evidenced by primitive streak formation and the subsequent emergence of several hallmarks of early organogenesis. Our study opens new avenues for modeling mammalian embryogenesis in vitro.

Totipotent-Like Cell-Based Embryo Model Recapitulating Mouse Embryogenesis from Pre-Implantation to Gastrulation [scRNA-Seq]

Tracing the emergence of primordial germ cells from bilaminar disc rabbit embryos and pluripotent stem cells (embryo single cell RNA-sequencing)

Project description:Rabbit embryos, as in humans, develop as bilaminar discs at gastrulation and unlike egg cylinders as in rodents. Mammalian primordial germ cells (PGCs) in all species originate during gastrulation. We sequence the transcriptomes of rabbit embryos during gastrulation, and show that rabbit PGC (rbPGC) specification occurs at the posterior epiblast at the onset of gastrulation

Deciphering lineage specification during early embryogenesis using multi-layered proteomics

Project description:Gastrulation is a critical stage of embryonic development during which the three germ layers are established. Deciphering the molecular mechanisms underlying this process from a protein perspective remains a significant challenge. To address this, we employed a multilayered mass spectrometry-based proteomics approach to investigate the global dynamics of (phospho)protein expression during differentiation of ESCs towards gastruloids – an in vitro model of gastrulation-stage embryogenesis. Our findings revealed that many proteins exhibited temporal expression during gastrulation with unique expression profiles corresponding to the three germ layers, which we also validated using an ultra sensitive single cell proteomics approachtechnology. Additionally, we profiled enhancer interaction landscapes in ESCs and gastruloids using p300 proximity labeling, which revealed numerous gastruloid-specific transcription factors and chromatin remodelers. Subsequent degron based perturbations combined with scRNA-seq revealed a critical role for Zeb2 in regulating mouse and human somitogenesis. Overall, this study provides a rich resource for developmental and synthetic biology communities endeavoring to understand mammalian embryogenesis.

Deciphering lineage specification during early embryogenesis using multi-layered proteomics

Project description:Gastrulation is a critical stage in embryonic development during which the germ layers are established. The advances and increasing availability of sequencing technologies led to the identification of gene regulatory programs that control the emergence of the germ layers and its derivatives. However, proteome-based studies of early mammalian development are scarce. To overcome this, we utilized gastruloids and a multilayered mass spectrometry-based proteomics approach to investigate the global dynamics of (phospho)protein expression during gastruloid differentiation. Our findings revealed that many proteins exhibit temporal expression with unique expression profiles corresponding to the three germ layers, which we also validated using single-cell proteomics technology. Notably, detected temporal protein expression dynamics in gastruloids aligns with equivalent mouse embryo stages. Additionally, we profiled enhancer interaction landscapes using P300 proximity labeling, which revealed numerous gastruloid-specific transcription factors and chromatin remodelers. Subsequent degron-based perturbations combined with scRNA-seq identified a critical role for ZEB2 in regulating mouse and human somitogenesis. Overall, this study provides a rich resource for developmental and synthetic biology communities endeavoring to understand mammalian embryogenesis.

Recapitulating human peri-gastrulation development via self-organization of extended pluripotent stem cells

Project description:Stem cell models that replicate the gastrulation process in human embryos have been created, but they lack the essential extraembryonic cells needed for early embryonic development and patterning. Here, we introduce a robust and efficient method that prompts human extended pluripotent stem (EPS) cells to self-organize into embryo-like structures, called peri-gastruloids, which encompass both embryonic (epiblast) and extraembryonic (hypoblast) tissues. These peri-gastruloids simulate critical stages of human peri-gastrulation development, such as forming amniotic and yolk sac cavities, developing bilaminar and trilaminar embryonic discs, specifying primordial germ cells, initiating gastrulation, and early neurulation. Single-cell RNA sequencing unveiled transcriptomic characteristics of these human peri-gastruloids, which closely resemble the primary peri-gastrulation cell types found in human and non-human primates. Our results emphasize the remarkable self-organizing ability of EPS cells to generate advanced human embryo-like structures. This peri-gastruloid platform allows for further exploration beyond gastrulation and may potentially aid in the development of human fetal tissues for use in regenerative medicine.

Geography and molecular anatomy of germ layers in the gastrulating primate embryo

Project description:During mammalian embryogenesis, temporal and spatial regulation of gene expression and cell signaling influences lineage specification, the patterning of tissue progenitors and the morphogenesis of embryo. While the mouse model has been instrumental for our understanding of mammalian development, comparatively little is known about early human and non-human primate gastrulation due to the limitation of technical and ethical. Here, we present a morphological and molecular approach that reveals the systematically morphological changes and comprehensive transcriptional landscape of cell types populating the non-human primate embryos during gastrulation.

Recapitulating early human development with 8C-like cells [RNA-seq]

Project description:In human embryos, major zygotic genome activation (ZGA) initiates at the eight-cell (8C) stage. Abnormal ZGA leads to developmental defects and even contributes to the failure of human blastocyst formation or implantation. However, little is known about the mechanisms regulating human ZGA, because of many challenges and constraints on research on human embryos. Here we report one type of rare 8C-like cells (8CLCs) that are discovered specifically from human preimplantation epiblast-like stem cells (prEpiSCs) and naïve embryonic stem cells. 8CLCs express a list of human ZGA genes and their transcriptome closely resemble that of the human 8C embryo. An 8C-specific reporter is further developed to isolate 8CLCs from prEpiSCs and optimize the chemical-based culture condition that increases and maintains the 8CLC population. Functionally, 8CLCs can spontaneously form blastocyst-like structures. The discovery and maintenance of 8CLCs provides an opportunity to model human ZGA and recapitulate early human development.
