A zinc finger-dependent, PRDM13-driven mechanism regulates retinal progenitor cell fate from mouse embryonic stem cells via WNT signaling

ABSTRACT: The transcriptional regulation underlying eye field (retinal primordium) development requires precise control, yet the mechanisms guiding lineage-specific differentiation within the central nervous system (CNS) remain incompletely understood. Using neuroectoderm (NE) organoids derived from mouse embryonic stem cells, we investigate the role of PRDM13 in eye field specification. We demonstrate that Prdm13 expression inhibits RX+ eye field fate but permits non-eye field NE differentiation, an effect dependent on its first and second zinc finger domains. Prdm13 activates the WNT/β-catenin signaling pathway during differentiation, leading to downregulation of key transcription factors crucial for establishing the eye field. Pharmacological inhibition of WNT signaling abolishes PRDM13-mediated suppression, restoring RX+ eye field differentiation. Our work reveals a previously undescribed PRDM13-WNT signaling axis that regulates lineage-specific neural differentiation of embryonic stem cells.

R-spondin 2 is required for optic vesicle morphogenesis and neuroretina specification in vivo and in vitro

Project description:Using stem cell–based therapies to treat retinal abnormalities is becoming a likely possibility; therefore, identifying the key factors and the relevant mechanisms controlling optic vesicle morphogenesis and neuroretina (NR) differentiation is important. Recent advances in self-organizing, 3-dimensional (3D) tissue cultures of embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) provided a valuable in vitro model for characterizing regulatory cascades and signaling pathways controlling mammalian retinal development. Using Rx-GFP expressing ESCs and Six3–/– iPSCs we identified R-spondin 2 (Rspo2)-mediated repression of Wnt signaling as a novel required step during optic vesicle morphogenesis and NR differentiation. Furthermore, we also show that transient ectopic expression of Rspo2 in the anterior neural plate of transgenic mouse embryos was sufficient to arrest NR differentiation. ChIP assays identified Six3-responsive elements in the Rspo2-promoter region, indicating that Six3-mediated repression of Rspo2 is required to restrict Wnt signaling in the developing anterior neuroectoderm and allow eye development to proceed.

Primary cilium-autophagy-Nrf2 (PAN) axis links the cell cycle to neuroectoderm fate in human embryonic stem cells

Project description:Under defined differentiation conditions human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) can be directed toward a mesendodermal (ME) or neuroectoderm (NE) fate, the first decision during hESC differentiation. Coupled with G1 lengthening a divergent ciliation pattern emerged within the first 24 hours of induced lineage specification and these changes heralded a neuroectoderm decision before any neural precursor markers were expressed. By day 2, increased ciliation in NE precursors induced autophagy that resulted in the inactivation of Nrf2. Nrf2 binds directly to upstream regions of the OCT4 and NANOG genes to promote their expression and represses NE derivation. Nrf2 suppression was sufficient to rescue poorly neurogenic iPSC lines. Only after these events have been initiated do neural precursor markers get expressed at day 4. Thus we have identified a primary cilium-autophagy-Nrf2 (PAN) axis coupled to cell cycle progression that directs hESCs toward NE.

Activin/Nodal signaling supports retinal progenitor specification in a narrow time window during pluripotent stem cell differentiation to anterior neuroectoderm

Project description:In this study, we used chemically-defined media to induce the in vitro differentiation of mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs) towards eye field fates. Inhibition of Wnt/ß-Catenin signalling was sufficient to drive ESCs to telencephalic, but not retinal fates. Instead, retinal progenitors could be generated from competent differentiating mouse and human ESCs by the activation of Activin/Nodal signaling within a narrow temporal window corresponding to the emergence of primitive anterior neural progenitors. Our results reveal insights into the mechanisms of eye field specification and open new avenues towards the generation of retinal progenitors for translational medicine.

PCGF6 activates SOX2 and contributes to lineage differentiation of human pluripotent stem cells

Project description:To assess and distinguish the molecular role of PCGF6 in the self-renewal and early differentiation of PSCs, we established PCGF6-knockout PSCs. Although the absence of PCGF6 could maintain self-renewal and colony-formation capacity, it induced abnormal early differentiation in PSCs. PCGF6 deficiency in PSCs promoted the development of mesendoderm, and impaired the development of neuroectoderm during differentiation process in vitro. RNA-seq and ChIP-seq experiments revealed that PCGF6 plays different roles in distinct lineage specification. On the one hand, PCGF6 worked as a transcription activator that maintain early neuroectoderm differentiation by regulating the expression of SOX2. On the other hand, PCGF6 resists skewed differentiation toward mesendoderm through the PRC1-dependent inhibition of WNT/β-catenin signaling pathways.

EOMES establishes mesoderm and endoderm differentiation potential through SWI/SNF-mediated global enhancer remodeling [ChIP-Seq]

Project description:In this study we analysed the dynamic changes in the epigenetic landscape during first embryonic lineage decision following pluripotency exit. Here, mouse pluripotent epiblast cells segregate towards mesoderm and endoderm (ME) or neuroectoderm (NE). The analysis of chromatin accessibility, histone modifications and accompanied gene expression confirmed a bias of the epigenetic landscape towards NE fate while ME cis regulatory elements (CREs) are becoming accessible and active during lineage specification. We show that the default state of NE differentiation is actively overcome by the activity of the Tbx transcription factor (TF) EOMES binding to closed ME CREs. We found the ATP-dependent chromatin remodelling complex SWI/SNF is recruited by EOMES to target ME enhancers. The recruitment of the complex by EOMES leads to the remodelling of the enhancer landscape at ME genes. The ME enhancer landscape is remodelled by the activity of EOMES independent on gene expression genome wide.

Eomes and Brachyury control pluripotency exit and germ-layer segregation by changing the chromatin state

Project description:We aimed to elucidate molecular mechanisms of first lineage decision in the mouse pluripotent epiblast that segregates mesoderm and endoderm (ME) from neuroectoderm (NE). By analyzing mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and embryos deficient for two T-box (Tbx) transcription factors Eomes and Brachyury we demonstrate that this process is controlled by the changes in the chromatin accessibility of ME gene enhancers and activation of the target genes, but also direct repression the opposing pluripotency and NE gene programs.

Depletion of demethylase KDM6 enhances early neuroectoderm commitment of human ESCs through inhibiting WNT activation

Project description:Epigenetic modifications play a crucial role in learning, memory and neurogenesis, but the study of its role in early neuroectoderm commitment from pluripotent inner cell mass is relatively lack. Here we utilized the system of directed neuroectoderm differentiation from human embryonic stem cells and identified KDM6B, an enzyme responsible to erase H3K27me3, was the most upregulated enzyme of histone methylation during neuroectoderm differentiation by transcriptome analysis. We then constructed KDM6B-null embryonic stem cells and found strikingly, the cells with KDM6B knockout exhibited much higher neuroectoderm induction efficiency. Furthermore, we constructed a serial of embryonic stem cell lines knocking out the other H3K27 demethylase KDM6A, and depleting both KDM6A and KDM6B, respectively. These cell lines together confirmed KDM6 impeded early neuroectoderm commitment. By RNA-seq, we found a panel of WNT activation genes significantly downregulated while WNT inhibiting genes significantly upregulated upon depletion of KDM6. Functional rescue assayed that WNT agonist could abolish the differential neuroectoderm induction due to manipulating KDM6 demonstrated WNT was the major downstream of KDM6 during early neural induction. Taken together, our findings illustrated the important role of histone methylation modifier KDM6A and KDM6B in neuroectoderm differentiation and provided additional insights into the precise epigenetic regulation in different stage of neurogenesis.
