Antagonistic activities of Sox2 and Brachyury control the fate choice of neuro-mesodermal progenitors

ABSTRACT: The spinal cord and mesodermal tissues of the trunk such as the vertebral column and skeletal musculature derive from neuro-mesodermal progenitors (NMPs). Sox2, Brachyury (T) and Tbx6 have been correlated with NMP potency and lineage choice, however, their exact role and interaction in these processes have not been revealed yet. Here we present a global analysis of NMPs and their descending lineages performed on purified cells from E8.5 wild-type and mutant embryos. We show that T, cooperatively with WNT signaling, controls the progenitor state and the switch towards the mesodermal fate. Sox2 acts antagonistically and promotes neural development. Tbx6 reinforces the mesodermal fate choice, represses the progenitor state and confers paraxial fate commitment. Our findings refine previous models and establish new concepts of the molecular principles of mammalian trunk development comprising NMP maintenance, lineage choice and mesoderm formation.

Single cell RNA sequencing of in vitro differentiation NMP protocols

Project description:The mammalian embryos Caudal Lateral Epiblast (CLE) harbours bipotent progenitors, called Neural Mesodermal Progenitors (NMPs), that contribute to the spinal cord and the paraxial mesoderm throughout axial elongation. Here we performed a single cell analysis of different in vitro NMPs populations produced either from embryonic stem cells (ESCs) or epiblast stem cells (EpiSCs) and compared them to E8.25 CLE mouse embryos. In our analysis of this region our findings challenge the notion that NMPs can be defined by the exclusive coexpression of Sox2 and T at mRNA level. We analyse the in vitro NMP-like populations using a purpose-built Support Vector Machine (SVM) based on the embryo CLE and use it as a classification model to compare the in vivo and in vitro populations. Our results show that NMP differentiation from ESCs, leads to heterogeneous progenitor populations with few NMP-like cells, as defined by the SVM algorithm, whereas starting with EpiSCs, yields a high proportion of cells with the embryo NMP signature. We find that the population from which the Epi-NMPs are derived in culture contains a node-like population, which leads to suggest that this population probably maintains the expression of T in vitro and thereby a source of NMPs. In conclusion, differentiation of EpiSCs into NMPs reproduces events in vivo and suggests a sequence of events for the emergence of the NMPs population.

Dual genetic lineage tracing reveals functional neuromesodermal progenitors

Project description:In the past decades, the paradigm of three germ layers formed by gastrulation has been modified by data suggesting an existence of neuromesodermal progenitors (NMPs) that arise during gastrulation and contribute to both spinal cord and adjacent paraxial mesoderm1-5. However, there lacks direct genetic lineage tracing evidence and functional assessment of NMPs in vivo. Here, we develop a dual recombinases-mediated genetic system to specifically trace and genetically ablate Brachyury+Sox2+ NMPs. Genetic lineage tracing results and single-cell RNA sequencing analysis show that NMPs contain three distinct uni-potent and bi-potent progenitor populations for progressive differentiation into neural and mesodermal fates. Genetic ablation of NMPs by diphtheria toxin reveals a critical role of NMPs in tail formation. This study provides in vivo genetic evidence for heterogeneity of NMPs in their cell fate determination and their functional role in developing embryos.

Generation and characterisation of pre-neural progenitors and neural crest from human embryonic stem cells.

Project description:The spinal cord emerges from a niche of neuromesodermal progenitors (NMPs) formed and maintained by Wnt/FGF signals in the posterior end of the embryo. NMP-like cells can be generated from human pluripotent stem cells providing a promising source for spinal cord replacement therapies. However, these progenitors are often transient and unable to produce the full range of rostrocaudal spinal cord identities in vitro. Here we report the generation of NMP-derived pre-neural progenitors (PNPs). These PNPs maintain pre-spinal cord identity by co-expressing the transcription factors SOX2 and CDX2, while losing the mesodermal potential of NMPs by downregulating TBXT. They gradually adopt more posterior identity by activating collinear HOX gene expression, and in parallel undergo an epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition to give rise to neural crest (NC) cells with corresponding rostrocaudal identity.

RNA-seq analysis of retinoic acid treated mouse neuromesodermal progenitors

Project description:Bipotent neuromesodermal progenitors (NMPs) residing in the caudal epiblast drive coordinated body axis extension by generating both posterior neuroectoderm and presomitic mesoderm. Retinoic acid (RA) is required for body axis extension, however the early molecular response to RA signaling is poorly defined, as is its relationship to NMP biology. As endogenous RA is first seen near the time when NMPs appear, we used WNT/FGF agonists to differentiate embryonic stem cells to NMPs which were then treated with a short 2-h pulse of 25 nM RA or 1 µM RA followed by RNA-seq transcriptome analysis. Differential expression analysis of this dataset indicated that treatment with 25 nM RA, but not 1 µM RA, provided physiologically relevant findings. The 25 nM RA dataset yielded a cohort of previously known caudal RA target genes including Fgf8 (repressed) and Sox2 (activated), plus novel early RA signaling targets with nearby conserved RA response elements. Importantly, validation of top-ranked genes in vivo using RA-deficient Raldh2-/- embryos identified novel examples of RA activation (Nkx1-2, Zfp503, Zfp703, Gbx2, Fgf15, Nt5e) or RA repression (Id1) of genes expressed in the NMP niche or progeny. These findings provide evidence for early instructive and permissive roles of RA in controlling differentiation of NMPs to neural and mesodermal lineages.

hPSC-derived Sacral Neural Crest Enables Rescue in a Severe Model of Hirschsprung’s Disease [ATAC-seq]

Project description:The enteric nervous system (ENS) is derived from both the vagal and sacral component of the neural crest (NC). Here, we present the derivation of sacral ENS precursors from human PSCs via timed exposure to FGF, WNT and to GDF11 to enable posterior patterning and transition from posterior trunk to sacral NC identity respectively. Using a SOX2::H2B-tdTomato/ T::H2B-GFP dual reporter hPSC line, we demonstrate that both trunk and sacral NC emerge from a double-positive neuro-mesodermal progenitor (NMP). Vagal and sacral NC precursors yield distinct neuronal subtypes and migratory behaviors in vitro and in vivo. Remarkably, xenografting of both vagal and sacral NC lineages is required to rescue a mouse model of total aganglionosis, suggesting novel opportunities in the treatment of severe forms of Hirschsprung’s disease.

Genome-wide identification of notochord enhancers comprising the regulatory landscape of the Brachyury (T) locus in mouse

Project description:The node and notochord are important signaling centers organizing dorso-ventral patterning of cells arising from neuro-mesodermal progenitors forming the embryonic body anlage. Due to the scarcity of notochordal progenitors and notochord cells, a comprehensive identification of regulatory elements driving notochord-specific gene expression has been lacking. Here we have used ATAC-seq analysis of FACS-purified notochordal cells from TS12-13 mouse embryos to identify 8921 putative enhancers of notochordal cells. In addition, we established a new model for generating notochordal cells in culture, and identified 3728 enhancers occupied by the essential notochordal regulators Brachyury (T) and/or Foxa2. We describe the regulatory landscape of the T locus comprising 8 putative enhancers occupied by these factors and confirmed the regulatory activity of 3 of these elements. Moreover, we characterized one new notochord enhancer, termed TNE2, in embryos. TNE2 complements the loss of TNE in the trunk notochord, and is essential for notochordal cell proliferation and differentiation in the tail. Our data demonstrate the essential role of Foxa2 in the choice of T expressing cells between the notochordal fate and the NMP/mesodermal trajectory

The Nociceptive Activity of Peripheral Sensory Neurons is Modulated by the Neuronal Membrane Proteasome

Project description:Proteasomes are critical for peripheral nervous system (PNS) function. Here, we investigate mammalian PNS proteasomes and reveal the presence of the neuronal membrane proteasome (NMP). We show that specific inhibition of the NMP on distal nerve fibers innervating the mouse hind paw leads to reduction in mechanical and pain sensitivity. Investigating PNS NMPs we demonstrate their presence on the somata, proximal, and distal axons of a subset of dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons. Single-cell RNA sequencing experiments reveal that the NMP expressing DRGs are primarily MrgprA3+ and Cysltr2+. NMP inhibition in DRG cultures leads to cell autonomous and non-cell autonomous changes in Ca2+ signaling induced by KCl depolarization, ab-meATP, or the pruritogen histamine. Taken together, these data support a model whereby NMPs are expressed on a subset of somatosensory DRGs to modulate signaling between neurons of distinct sensory modalities and indicate the NMP as a potential target for controlling pain
