Pharyngeal mesoderm regulatory network controls cardiac and head muscle morphogenesis

ABSTRACT: The search for developmental mechanisms driving vertebrate organogenesis has paved the way toward a deeper understanding of birth defects. During embryogenesis, parts of the heart and craniofacial muscles arise from pharyngeal mesoderm (PM) progenitors. Here, we reveal a hierarchical regulatory network of a set of transcription factors expressed in the PM that initiates heart and craniofacial organogenesis. Genetic perturbation of this network in mice resulted in heart and craniofacial muscle defects, revealing robust cross-regulation between its members. We identified Lhx2 as a novel player during cardiac and pharyngeal muscle development. Lhx2 and Tcf21 genetically interact with Tbx1, the major determinant in the etiology of DiGeorge/velo-cardio-facial/22q11.2 deletion syndrome. Furthermore, knockout of these genes in the mouse recapitulates specific cardiac features of this syndrome. We suggest that PM-derived cardiogenesis and myogenesis are network properties rather than properties specific to individual PM members. These findings shed new light on the developmental underpinnings of congenital defects.

These findings shed new light on the developmental underpinnings of congenital defects. Mouse embryos were selected at E9.5, 10.5 and 11.5. We used Myf5Cre;RosaYFP in order to label all the myogenic lineage. Trunk (T) and Head (H) tissues were isolated, dispersed into a single cell suspension and FACS sorted for YFP+ population. Further analysis is described in Harel et al, PNAS (2012).

The DiGeorge Syndrome gene TBX1 is required to specify the nkx2.5+ cardiopharyngeal lineage

Project description:Hemizygous microdeletions on chromosome 22q11.2 cause a broad spectrum of congenital cardiovascular and craniofacial anomalies known collectively as DiGeorge Syndrome (DGS) that appear to arise from reduced expression of TBX1, a gene in the typically deleted region. Although mice lacking tbx1 display similar, yet more severe, cardiovascular and craniofacial defects, the mechanisms underlying these devastating phenotypes remain incompletely understood. Here, we report that Tbx1 is required prior to pharyngeal arch development to specify the nkx2.5+ cardiopharyngeal cell lineage that gives rise to the cardiovascular and crainiofacial structures absent in tbx1 null zebrafish. Importantly, the role of Tbx1 during cardiopharyngeal lineage specification is conserved in mammals. Further, we learned that DVR1, the zebrafish homolog of mammalian GDF1/3, functions downstream of Tbx1 for pharyngeal progenitor specification. Together, these studies unveil a new paradigm potentially underlying the cardiovascular and craniofacial defects observed in the DGS population.

Transcription profiling of mouse embryonic cells (E9.5) with homozygous knockout of Tbx1 compared to heterozygous Tbx1 knockout

Project description:22q11 deletion syndrome (22q11DS) is mainly characterised by cardiovascular, craniofacial, thymic and parathyroid abnormalities. Haploinsufficiency of the transcription factor, TBX1 is considered to be a major underlying cause of these defects. Mice in which Tbx1 has been mutated phenocopy 22q11DS. In order to elucidate the transcriptional pathways regulated by Tbx1, the gene expression profile of Tbx1-lacZ positive cells isolated from E9.5 Df1/Tbx1lacZ embryos (Tbx1-null) were compared to cells isolated from Tbx1+/lacZ (Tbx1-heterozygous) embryos. This analysis has led to a better understanding of the pathways important in pharyngeal and heart development. Experiment design: 3 pools of cells (biological replicates) isolated from Df1/Tbx1lacZ embryos and Tbx1+/lacZ embryos were used for hybridisation onto 6 MOE430 v2 oligonucleotide array chips (Affymetrix), making 12 microarrays in total. Each pool of cells was isolated from at least 8 embryos.

The BAF chromatin remodeling complex regulates gene expression programs essential for mammalian neural crest development

Project description:Neural crest cells (NCCs) are a multipotent cell population that contributes to the development of many tissues including craniofacial, pharyngeal arch arteries, and cardiac outflow tract (OFT). The BAF complex plays an important role in the development of a wide range of tissues by modulating gene expression programs at the chromatin level. However, its role in neural crest development has remained unclear. To determine the role BAF complex, we deleted BAF155 and BAF170, the core subunits required for the assembly, stability, and functions of the BAF complex in NCCs. Mouse embryos lacking BAF155/170 in NCCs displayed early lethality due to a wide range of developmental defects including craniofacial defects, pharyngeal arch artery defects, and OFT defects. We observed reduced proliferation, increased cell death, and impaired migration of cardiac NCCs to the OFT in BAF155/170 mutants. RNAseq analysis on sorted NCCs revealed that the BAF complex regulates the expression of numerous genes essential for neural crest development. We observed downregulation of Hippo and Notch signaling pathways, both essential for the migration, proliferation, and differentiation of the NCCs. The BAF complex interacts with transcription factors to modulate the transcriptional program. Therefore, we performed transcription factor enrichment analysis on the RNAseq data set and identified several transcription factors including Hey1, Hey2, and Hes5 that may directly or indirectly interact with the BAF complex in NCCs. We also found that Brg1 interact with Tead transcription factors and the interaction was impaired in BAF155/170 knockdown cells. Together, our results demonstrate an important role of the BAF complex in modulating the gene regulatory network essential for neural crest development.

Reduced dosage of Î²-catenin genetically rescues intracardiac anomalies in a Tbx1 conditional null mouse model of 22q11.2 deletion syndrome

Project description:Approximately 60-70% of patients with 22q11.2 deletion syndrome (22q11.2DS; velo-cardio-facial syndrome/DiGeorge syndrome) have cardiac outflow tract anomalies including persistent truncus arteriosus (PTA) as the most severe defect. Among the genes in the 22q11.2 region, TBX1, encoding a T-box transcription factor is a major candidate for cardiovascular malformations and its inactivation in mice results in a PTA. To identify novel signaling mechanisms that function downstream, we found that Tbx1 restricts canonical Wnt signaling in the pharyngeal apparatus. To test for tissue specificity within the pharyngeal apparatus, we inactivated Tbx1 in the anterior portion of the secondary heart field (AHF) mesoderm using the Mef2c-AHF-Cre allele and observed a full penetrant PTA (n = 30). Tbx1 promotes progenitor cells but restricts differentiation whereas Wnt signaling, in the AHF, promotes cardiomyocyte differentiation. To determine whether Tbx1 and canonical Wnt signaling act in opposing pathways, both alleles of Tbx1 and one Î²-catenin allele were inactivated in the AHF and 85% of them (n = 35) showed partial or complete rescue. The antagonistic function of the two pathways was further confirmed by gene expression profiling, indicating that these two pathways provide a key balance in the AHF to prevent premature differentiation of progenitor cells prior to reaching the cardiac outflow tract. We inactivatedTbx1 and beta-catenin allele to identify function of Tbx1 and beta-catenin in the anterior portion of the secondary heart field (AHF) mesoderm. We also inactivated both alleles of Tbx1 and one Î²-catenin alleles (rescue design) to determine whether Tbx1 and canonical Wnt signaling act in opposing pathways

Gene profiling on mandibular arches (MdPA1) from Tbx1+/+ and Tbx1-/- mouse embryos E9.5

Project description:Velo-cardio-facial syndrome/DiGeorge syndrome/22q11.2 deletion syndrome (22q11DS) patients have a submucous cleft palate, velo-pharyngeal insufficiency associated with hypernasal speech, facial muscle hypotonia and feeding difficulties. Inactivation of both alleles of mouse Tbx1, encoding a T-box transcription factor, deleted on 22q11.2, results in a cleft palate and a reduction or loss of branchiomeric muscles. To identify genes downstream of Tbx1 for myogenesis, gene profiling was performed on mandibular arches (MdPA1) from Tbx1+/+ and Tbx1-/- mouse embryos. To obtain enough RNA for microarray hybridization experiments, dissected mandibular arches from three Tbx1+/+ and three Tbx1-/- E9.5 embryos were pooled according to genotype, with three microarrays performed in total per genotype. Affymetrix Mouse Gene ST 1.0 arrays (Affymetrix) were used. Hybridization, washing, staining and scanning were performed in the Genomics Core at Einstein (http://www.einstein.yu.edu/genetics/CoreFacilities.aspx?id=23934) according to the Affymetrix manual.

The TET-Sall4-BMP regulatory axis controls craniofacial cartilage development

Project description:Craniofacial microsomia (CFM) is a congenital defect that usually results from aberrant development of embryonic pharyngeal arches. However, the molecular basis of CFM pathogenesis is largely unknown. Here, we employ the zebrafish model to investigate mechanisms of CFM pathogenesis. In early embryos, tet2 and tet3 are essential for pharyngeal cartilage development. Single-cell RNA sequencing reveals that loss of Tet2/3 impairs chondrocyte differentiation due to insufficient BMP signaling. Moreover, biochemical and genetic evidence reveals that the sequence-specific 5mC/5hmC-binding protein, Sall4, binds the promoter of bmp4 to activate bmp4 expression and control pharyngeal cartilage development. Mechanistically, Sall4 directs co-phase separation of Tet2/3 with Sall4 to form condensates that mediate 5mC oxidation on the bmp4 promoter, thereby promoting bmp4 expression and enabling sufficient BMP signaling. These findings suggest the TET-BMP-Sall4 regulatory axis is critical for pharyngeal cartilage development. Collectively, our study provides insights into understanding craniofacial development and CFM pathogenesis.
