Single-cell sequencing of stage 4 chicken embryos

ABSTRACT: Abstract from Vermillion et al: During vertebrate development, progenitor cells give rise to tissues and organs through a complex choreography that commences at gastrulation. A hallmark event of gastrulation is the formation of the primitive streak, a linear assembly of cells along the anterior-posterior (AP) axis of the developing organism. To examine the primitive streak at a single-cell resolution, we measured the transcriptomes of individual chick cells from the streak or the surrounding tissue (the rest of the area pellucida) in Hamburger-Hamilton stage 4 embryos. The single-cell transcriptomes were then ordered by the statistical method Wave-Crest to deduce both the relative position along the AP axis and the prospective lineage of single cells. The ordered transcriptomes reveal intricate patterns of gene expression along the primitive streak.

Transcription profiling of chicken Sex-dimorphic gene expression and ineffective dosage compensation of Z-linked genes in gastrulating embryos

Project description:Sex determination is still poorly understood in birds and no key determinants have so far been identified. In contrast to most other species, dosage compensation of bird sex chromosomal genes appears rather ineffective. By comparing microarrays of microdissected primitive streak from single chicken embryos, we identified a large number of genes differentially expressed between male and female embryos at a very early stage (Hamburger and Hamilton stage 4), long before any sexual differentiation occurs. Most of these genes are located on the Z chromosome, which indicates that dosage compensation is ineffective in early chicken embryos. Gene ontology analyses using an enhanced annotation tool for Affymetrix probesets of the chicken genome shows that among the male-biased genes found on the Z chromosome, more than 20 genes have a role in sex differentiation. Experiment Overall Design: Primitive streak tissues were dissected out of individual Hamburger and Hamilton (HH) stage 4 chicken embryos and extracted for total RNA. Total RNA was amplified 2-cycles, biotin-labeled and hybridized to Affymetrix chicken GeneChip. Gene expression profiles of female and male samples were analyzed for sex-dimorphic expression.

Patterning and gastrulation defects caused by the tw18 lethal are due to loss of Ppp2r1a

Project description:The mouse t haplotype, a variant 20 cM genomic region on Chromosome 17, harbors sixteen embryonic control genes identified by recessive lethal mutations isolated from wild mouse populations. Due to technical constraints so far only one of these, the tw5 lethal has been cloned and molecularly characterized. Here we report the molecular isolation of the tw18 lethal. Embryos carrying the tw18 lethal die from major gastrulation defects commencing with primitive streak formation at E6.5. We have used transcriptome and marker gene analyses to describe the molecular etiology of the tw18 phenotype. We show that both WNT and Nodal signal transduction are impaired in the mutant epiblast causing embryonic patterning defects and failure of primitive streak and mesoderm formation. We have used a candidate gene approach, gene knockout by homologous recombination and genetic rescue to identify the gene causing the tw18 phenotype as Ppp2r1a, encoding the PP2A scaffolding subunit PR65. Our work highlights the importance of phosphatase 2A in embryonic patterning, primitive streak formation, gastrulation, and mesoderm formation downstream of WNT and Nodal signaling.

Cynomolgus monkey embryo model captures gastrulation and early pregnancy

Project description:Here, we constructed monkey blastoids resembling blastocysts in morphology and transcriptomics using naïve ESCs and optimized protocol. The synthetic blastoids could develop to embryonic disk stage with the structure of yolk sac, chorionic cavity, amnion cavity, primitive streak, connecting stalk along the rostral–caudal axis by in-vitro prolonged culture (IVC). Primordial germ cells, gastrulating cells, visceral endoderm/yolk-sac endoderm, three germ layers and haemato-endothelial progenitors were identified in the monkey blastoid IVC embryo by single-cell transcriptomics or immunostaining. Besides, pregnancies with early gestation sacs were achieved by transferring monkey blastoids to surrogates. Our results revealed the in-vitro gastrulation and in-vivo early pregnancy of primate synthetic embryos, providing a powerful system to dissect primate embryonic development with less ethical concerns and restrict access.

Base-editor-mediated multiplexed inactivation of DNA methyltransferases reveals essential roles of miRNAs in mouse gastrulation

Project description:Here, we establish a system to simultaneously inactivate Dnmts in one step through screening for base editors that can efficiently introduce a stop codon endogenously. Dnmt-null embryos display primitive streak elongation failure at E7.5. Interestingly, although DNA methylation is absent, gastrulation-related pathways are down-regulated in Dnmt-null embryos. Moreover, DNMT1 or DNMT3A/3B are indispensable for gastrulation and their functions are independent of TET proteins. Hypermethylation can be sustained by either DNMT1 or DNMT3A/3B at some promoters, which are mainly related to miRNAs. Strikingly, majority of hypermethylated promoter-related miRNAs are overexpressed and located at the Dlk1-Dio3 imprinted region. The predicted targets of these miRNAs tend to be down-regulated and enriched in the gastrulation-related pathways in Dnmt-null embryos. Finally, introduction of a single mutant allele of six miRNAs partially restores primitive streak elongation in Dnmt-null embryos.

WNT signaling memory is required for ACTIVIN to function as a morphogen

Project description:It has now become clear that the process of fate specification during early embryogenesis is mediated by a handful of key signaling pathways. However, how the temporal and spatial integration of these signals plays out to give rise to self-organization of tissues remains obscure. Here we use artificial human gastruloids and quantitative single-cell analysis to dissect the temporal integration of two key pathways WNT and ACTIVIN that along with BMP control gastrulation and primitive streak patterning in model systems. We showed that ACTIVIN elicits a transient signaling response, as well as a transient induction of differentiation. However, unlike BMP and WNT, ACTIVIN cannot induce stable primitive streak formation and mesodermal patterning. Pre-exposure to WNT switches the response of cells to ACTIVIN whereby it becomes a concentration dependent morphogen. This provides evidence for WNT signaling memory that occurs at the transcriptional level and not as a modifier of ACTIVIN signaling dynamics.

Expression Profile of Chicken Primitive Streak (HH4) Tissues

Project description:In birds and mammals, all mesoderm cells are generated from the primitive streak. Nascent mesoderm cells contain unique dorso-ventral (D/V) identities depending on their relative ingression position along the streak. Molecular mechanisms controlling this initial phase of mesoderm diversification are not well-understood. Using chick model, we generated high-quality transcriptomic datasets of different streak regions and analyzed their molecular heterogeneity.

Basal cell extrusion primes pluripotent cells for differentiation

Project description:The blueprint of the mammalian body plan is laid out during gastrulation, when a trilaminar embryo is formed. This process entails a burst of embryonic cell proliferation, the ingression of pluripotent epithelial cells at the primitive streak, and their priming towards primitive streak fates. How these different events are coordinated remains unknown. Here, we developed a 3D culture of self-renewing pluripotent and epithelial cells that recapitulates the transcriptional and architectural features of the gastrulating mouse embryo. Using this system in combination with microfabrication and in vivo experiments, we found that proliferation triggers basal extrusion in cells that express high levels of the apical polarity protein aPKC. Upon extrusion, cells are more sensitive to Bmp, Wnt, and Nodal signaling, and upregulate the expression of primitive streak markers. This mechanistic coupling between cell position and gene expression ensures that the right cell types become specified at the right place during embryonic development.

TBXT dose sensitivity and the decoupling of mesoderm specification from EMT progression in 2D human gastruloids

Project description:In the nascent mesoderm, levels of Brachyury (TBXT) expression must be precisely regulated to ensure cells exit the primitive streak and pattern the anterior-posterior axis, but how this varying dosage informs morphogenesis is not well understood. In this study, we define the transcriptional consequences of TBXT dose during early gastrulation using human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC)-based models of early gastrulation and mesoderm differentiation. Multiomic single-nucleus RNA and single-nucleus ATAC sequencing reveal that TBXT is required for the temporal progression of epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in a dose-dependent manner and that this transition occurs independently of the acquisition of mesodermal identity. These results demonstrate that EMT can be decoupled from mesoderm development in the early gastrula and shed light on the mechanisms underlying human embryogenesis.

PI3Kβ and β-Catenin mediate EZH2 removal from promoters controlling human ESC stemness and primitive streak gene expression

Project description:The mechanism governing the transition of human embryonic stem cells towards differentiated cells is only partially understood. To explore this transition, the activity and expression of the ubiquitous phosphoinositide-3-kinase (PI3K α and β) were modulated. This study reports a pathway that dismantles the repression imposed by the EZH2 polycomb repressor on an essential stemness gene, NODAL, and on transcription factors required at differentiation to trigger primitive streak formation. The primitive streak is the site where gastrulation begins to give rise to the three embryonic cell layers from which all human tissues derive. The pathway involves an essential PI3Kβ-non-catalytic action for control of active-RAC1 levels, c-Jun-Nterminal-kinase activation and nuclear β-CATENIN accumulation. β-CATENIN deposition at promoters triggers the release of EZH2 repressor permitting both stemness maintenance (through control of NODAL) and correct differentiation, by allowing primitive streak master genes expression. PI3Kβ -mediated epigenetic control of EZH2/β-CATENIN might be modulated to direct stem cell differentiation.
