Global Transcriptome analyses in METTL3_high and METTL3_Low Human Trophoblast Stem Cells from idiopathic recurrent pregnancy losses (RPLs)

ABSTRACT: We established RPL-Patient specific TSC lines from placental tissues collected after patients undergoing procedures at the REI clinic at the University of Kansas Medical Center. Two groups of RPL-TSC lines were established. A control RPL-TSC group, which were established from placental tissues without any apparent defect in placental ultra-structure and trophoblast layers and also maintained high expressions of Methyl Transferase-Like3 (METTL3) in villous cytotrophoblast cells (CTBs). The second group is the experimental RPL-TSC group, which were established from RPL-Placentae with defects in placental villi structure and trophoblast layers and showed strong repression of PRMT1 expression in villous CTBs. The established RPL-TSCs were tested for PRMT1 expression. TSCs showed similar expression patterns of METTL3 with respect to CTBs, from which they were established. Thus, RPL-TSC lines with high expression of METTL3 are called METTL3_high RPL-TSCs and The experimental RPL TSCs are called METTL3_low RPL-TSCs. Six METTL3_high RPL TSC lines and three METTL3_low RPL-TSC lines were used for global RNA-sequencing to identify global gene expression patterns.

Trophoblast stem cell derivation from naive and primed hPSC enables ELF5 functional analysis (miRNAseq)

Project description:Human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) are valuable tools for studying placental biology, yet their differentiation into bona fide trophoblast stem cells (TSCs) remains challenging. In this study, we established and thoroughly compared naive and primed-derived TSC-like cells with primary human TSCs derived from pre-implantation blastocyst and first-trimester placenta. Comprehensive analyses confirmed expression of trophoblast lineage-specific genes and typical placental features. Detailed transcriptional analyses revealed that naive-derived TSC-like cells resembled embryo and placenta-derived cell lines and differentiated faster and more directly into TSC than primed-derived cells. We used these TSC-like models to study the role of ELF5, a transcription factor indispensable for maintenance and differentiation in mouse TSC. In contrast to the mouse, knockout and knockdown experiments revealed that ELF5 is dispensable for human TSC-like cells self-renewal and differentiation. Our study provides valuable transcriptional data and highlights the utility of hPSC-derived TSC-like cells for modeling the placenta and studying gene function.

Resf1 is required for normal placental development and configuration of trophoblast cell-specific heterochromatin

Project description:Resf1 (Retroelement silencing factor 1) is involved in retroelement silencing cooperated with H3K9 methyltransferase SETDB1 by regulating H3K9 methylation in mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs). However, it remains unknown whether Resf1 functions in retroelement silencing in vivo, and has a role in development. To address this question, we established Resf1-deficient mice. The Resf1-deficient mice show developmental delay, partial embryonic lethality, and placental abnormalities. Remarkably, retroelements are also upregulated in the Resf1-deficient placenta, and this upregulation of retroelements correlates with elevated expression of nearby genes. Additionally, to determine whether Resf1 functions within the trophoblast lineage—given the heterogeneous cellular composition of the placenta—we established Resf1-deficient trophoblast stem cell (TSC) lines. Both undifferentiated TSCs and differentiated TSCs (D-TSCs) display increased retroelement expression along with elevated levels of genes associated with placental development. Furthermore, Resf1-deficient TSCs exhibit compromised maintenance of H3K9me3 domains, leading to instability. In summary, our findings illuminate Resf1's multifaceted roles beyond retroelement silencing, uncovering its significance in developmental processes and its intricate involvement in trophoblast lineage regulation.

Zika virus impacts extracellular vesicle composition and cellular gene expression in macaque early gestation trophoblasts

Project description:Zika virus (ZIKV) infection at the maternal-placental interface is associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes including fetal demise and pregnancy loss. To determine how infection impacts placental trophoblasts, we utilized rhesus macaque trophoblast stem cells (TSC) that can be differentiated into early gestation syncytiotrophoblasts (ST) and extravillous trophoblasts (EVT). TSCs and STs, but not EVTs, were highly permissive to productive infection with ZIKV strain DAK AR 41524. The impact of ZIKV on the cellular transcriptome showed that infection of TSCs and STs increased expression of immune related genes, including those involved in type I and type III interferon responses. ZIKV exposure altered extracellular vesicle (EV) protein, mRNA, and miRNA cargo, regardless of productive infection. These findings suggest that early gestation macaque TSCs and STs are permissive to ZIKV infection, and that EV analysis may provide a foundation for identifying non-invasive biomarkers of placental infection in a highly translational model.

Activation of the interferon pathway in trophoblast cells infected with SARS-CoV-2

Project description:Infection with SARS-CoV-2 in pregnancy has been associated with poor maternal and neonatal outcomes and placental defects. The placenta, which acts as a physical and immunological barrier at the maternal/fetal interface, is not established until the end of the first trimester. Therefore, localized viral infection of the trophoblast compartment early in gestation could trigger an inflammatory response resulting in altered placental function and consequent suboptimal conditions for fetal growth and development. In this study, we investigated the effect of SARS-CoV-2 infection in early gestation placentae using placenta-derived human trophoblast stem cells (TSC), a novel in vitro model, and their extra-villous trophoblast (EVT) and syncytiotrophoblast (STB) derivatives. Consistent with host viral entry protein expression, SARS-CoV-2 was able to productively replicate in TSC-derived STB and EVT but not undifferentiated TSC. Both early EVT and STB elicited an interferon-mediated innate immune response similar to other cells infected with this virus. Therefore, we have also shown that placenta derived TSCs are a robust in vitro model to investigate the effect of this viral infection in the trophoblast compartment of the early placenta. Overall, these results suggest that SARS-CoV-2 infection in early gestation can adversely affect placental development and that might occur via directly infecting the differentiated trophoblast compartment, thus posing a higher risk for poor pregnancy outcomes.

Esrrb plays an important role in maintaining self-renewal of trophoblast stem cells (TSCs) and reprogramming somatic cells to induced TSCs [ChIP-Seq]

Project description:Trophoblast stem cells (TSCs) are derived from the trophoectoderm of a blastocyst and can maintain self-renewal in vitro. Meanwhile, essential insights into the molecular mechanisms controlling placental developmental could be gained by using TSCs that can differentiate into the various placental trophoblast cell types in vitro. Esrrb is a transcription factor with pivotal roles in maintaining TSCs’ self-renewal, but the exact transcriptional networks that Esrrb involved in TSCs are largely unknown. In the present study, we elucidated the function of Esrrb during TSC self-renewal and differentiation. We demonstrate that precise levels of Essrb are critical for TSCs stemness maintenance and normal trophoblast differentiation, as Esrrb depletion results in down-regulation of the key TSC-specific transcription factors, consequently causing TSCs differentiation and forced expression of Esrrb can partially block TSCs differentiation in the absence of FGF4. This function of Esrrb is exerted by directly binding and activating a core set of TSC-specific target genes including Cdx2, Eomes, Sox2, Fgfr4 and BMP4. Furthermore, we investigate the role of Esrrb in reprogramming of mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) to induced TSCs (iTSCs). We show that Esrrb can facilitate the conversion of iTSCs from MEFs. Moreover, Esrrb can substitute for Eomes during this conversion process. Our findings provide a better understanding of the molecular mechanism of Esrrb in maintaining TSCs self-renewal and iTSCs reprogramming.
