Deep Proteome of the Developing Chick Midbrain

ABSTRACT: The epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and migration of cranial neural crest cells are critical processes that occur in the early embryo that permit proper craniofacial patterning. Disruptions in these processes not only impair development but also lead to various diseases, underscoring the need for their detailed understanding at the molecular level. The chick embryo has served historically as an excellent model for human embryonic development. While chick cranial neural crest cell EMT and migration have been characterized at the transcript level, studies at the protein level—to allow direct measurement of the active players—have not been undertaken to date. In this study, we applied mass spectrometry (MS)-based proteomics to establish a deep proteomics profile of the midbrain region during early embryonic development. We developed a proteomics method combining optimal lysis conditions and offline fractionation with nanoflow liquid chromatography coupled to high-resolution MS to analyze the tissue from this region, which identified >5,900 proteins involved in key pathways related to neural crest cell EMT and migration such as signaling, proteolysis/extracellular matrix (ECM), and transcriptional regulation. This study offers valuable insight into important developmental processes occurring in the midbrain region and demonstrates the utility of proteomics for characterization of various tissues during chick embryogenesis.

DAN (NBL1) promotes collective neural crest migration by restraining uncontrolled invasion

Project description:Neural crest cells are both highly migratory and significant to vertebrate organogenesis. However, the signals that regulate neural crest cell migration remain unclear. Here, we test the function of DAN, a BMP antagonist we detected by analysis of chick cranial mesoderm. Our analysis shows that, prior to neural crest cell exit from the hindbrain, DAN is expressed in the mesoderm, then it becomes absent along cell migratory pathways. Cranial neural crest and metastatic melanoma cells avoid DAN protein stripes in vitro. Addition of DAN reduces the speed of migrating cells, in vivo and in vitro respectively. In vivo loss-of-function of DAN results in enhanced neural crest cell migration by increasing speed and directionality. Computer model simulations support the hypothesis that DAN restrains cell migration by regulating cell speed. Taken together, our results identify DAN as a novel factor that inhibits uncontrolled neural crest and metastatic melanoma invasion and promotes collective migration in a manner consistent with inhibition of BMP signaling.

Single-cell transcriptome analysis of avian neural crest migration reveals signatures of invasion and molecular transitions [scRNA-seq]

Project description:Neural crest cells migrate throughout the embryo, but how cells move in a directed and collective manner has remained unclear. Here, we perform the first single-cell transcriptome analysis of cranial neural crest cell migration at three progressive stages in chick and identify and establish hierarchical relationships between cell position and time-specific transcriptional signatures. We determine a novel transcriptional signature of the most invasive neural crest Trailblazer cells that is consistent during migration and enriched for approximately 900 genes. Knockdown of several Trailblazer genes shows significant but modest changes to total distance migrated. However, in vivo expression analysis by RNAscope and immunohistochemistry reveals some salt and pepper patterns that include strong individual Trailblazer gene expression in cells within other subregions of the migratory stream. These data provide new insights into the molecular diversity and dynamics within a neural crest cell migratory stream that underlie complex directed and collective cell behaviors.

Lats1/2 control TGF-beta directed EMT in the dorsal cranial neuroepithelium through YAP regulation

Project description:Hippo signaling, an evolutionarily conserved pathway involved in organ size control, has been implicated to play key roles in developmental processes of various tissues, but its role in craniofacial development has not been largely explored. To examine the function of the Hippo signaling kinase cascade, we inactivated Hippo components Lats1 and Lats2 in the cranial neuroepithelium of mouse embryos using a Wnt1CreSOR driver. Double conditional knock out (DCKO) of Lats1/2 resulted in neural tube and craniofacial defects. Lats1/2 DCKO mutant embryos presented a minute head with delayed and defective neural tube closure. Furthermore, neuroepithelial cell polarity and cell integrity were disrupted within the cranial neural tube in Lats1/2 DCKO mutants. Embryonic neural tube RNA-seq revealed increased TGF-beta signaling in absence of Lats1/2. Moreover, markers of epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) were upregulated in the cranial neural tube. Notably, modulation of Hippo signaling downstream effectors Yap and Taz prevented neuroepithelial defects, aberrant EMT, and TGF-beta dysregulation caused by Lats1/2 deficiency, indicating that Lats1/2 function via canonical Hippo-Yap pathway. Together, our findings revealed important roles for Hippo signaling kinases in pre-migratory neural crest EMT and migration.

Single-cell reconstruction with spatial context of migrating neural crest cells and their microenvironments during vertebrate head and neck formation

Project description:The dynamics of multipotent neural crest cell differentiation and invasion as cells travel throughout the vertebrate embryo remain unclear. Here, we preserve spatial information to derive the transcriptional states of migrating neural crest cells and the cellular landscape of the first four chick cranial to cardiac branchial arches (BA1-4) using label-free, unsorted single-cell RNA sequencing. The faithful capture of branchial arch-specific genes led to identification of novel markers of migrating neural crest cells and 266 invasion genes common to all BA1-4 streams. Perturbation analysis of a small subset of invasion genes and time-lapse imaging identified their functional role to regulate neural crest cell behaviors. Comparison of the neural crest invasion signature to other cell invasion phenomena revealed a shared set of 45 genes, a subset of which showed direct relevance to human neuroblastoma cell lines analyzed after exposure to the in vivo chick embryonic neural crest microenvironment. Our data define an important spatio-temporal reference resource to address patterning of the vertebrate head and neck, and previously AQ1 unidentified cell invasion genes with the potential for broad impact.

GSK3 phosphorylation sites in Lpd

Project description:Neural crest cells are multipotent cells that delaminate from the neuroepithelium, migrating throughout the embryo. Aberrant migration causes developmental defects. Animal models are improving our understanding of neural crest anomalies, but in vivo migration behaviours are poorly understood. Here, we demonstrate that murine neural crest cells display actin-based lamellipodia and filopodia in vivo. Using neural crest-specific knockouts or inhibitors, we show that the serine-threonine kinase Glycogen Synthase Kinase-3 (GSK3), and the cytoskeletal regulator Lamellipodin (Lpd), are required for lamellipodia formation whilst preventing focal adhesion maturation. Lpd is a novel substrate of GSK3 and phosphorylation of Lpd favours interactions with the Scar/WAVE complex (lamellipodia formation) at the expense of VASP and Mena interactions (adhesion maturation and filopodia formation). This improved understanding of cytoskeletal regulation in mammalian neural crest migration has general implications for neural crest anomalies and cancer.

Delamination of neural crest cells requires transient and reversible Wnt inhibition mediated by Dact1/2

Project description:Neural crest cells are a transient embryonic population, hence are neither present after bith and nor are they readily accesible for analysis. Therefore, little is known about the genetic networks that regulate NC especification, delamitation and migration from the dorsal neural tube to their final destination along the embryo. Here we have developed a novel resource for lineage tracing and for the isolation of neural crest cells in the chick embryo, enabling us to perform a genome-wide expression screen in neural crest progenitors versus neuroepithelial cells.
