Project description:The human heart, originating from the splanchnic mesoderm, is the first functional organ to develop, co-evolving with the foregut endoderm through reciprocal signaling. Previously, cardioid models offered new insights on cardiovascular cell lineages and tissue morphogenesis during heart development, while mesoderm-endoderm crosstalk remain incompletely understood. Here, we integrated micropatterned cardioids, CRISPR-engineered reporter hiPSCs, deep-tissue imaging, and single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) to explore synergistic mesoderm-endoderm co-development. scRNA-seq with PHATE trajectory mapping reconstructed lineage bifurcations of mesoderm-heart and endoderm-foregut lineages, identifying key cell types in cardiac and hepatic development. Ligand-receptor interaction analysis highlighted mesodermal cells enriched in non-canonical WNT, NRG, and TGF-β signaling, while endodermal cells exhibited VEGF and Hedgehog activity. We found that micropattern sizes influenced cellular composition, cardioid cavitation, contractile functions, and mesoderm-endoderm signaling crosstalk. The cardioids generated from 600 µm diameter circle patterns showed larger cavity formation resembling early heart chamber formation. Our findings establish micropatterned cardioids as a model for mesoderm-endoderm co-development, enhancing our understanding of heart-foregut synergy during early embryogenesis.

Project description:Foregut organogenesis is regulated by inductive interactions between the endoderm and the adjacent mesoderm. We identified genes induced in the foregut progenitors by the adjacent mesoderm. We used microarrays to detail the global programme of early foregut endoderm gene expression resulting from mesoderm induction and identified distinct classes of up-regulated genes during this process. Xenopus foregut endoderm explants cultured from Stages 15 to 23 either intact with mesoderm or as endoderm alone. Total RNA was isolated from the endoderm of these two culture conditions in quadruplicate and were subjected to Affymetrix microarray analysis.

Project description:Cnidaria are typically considered diploblastic (i.e. consisting of two germ layers) in contrast to their triploblastic sister clade, the Bilateria. However, a recent study suggested that sea anemones and other cnidarians have three segregated germ layer identities, corresponding to the bilaterian germ layers1. Here, we investigated, how the three germ layer identities are specified during early development of the sea anemone Nematostella vectensis. First, the mesodermal territory is specified at the animal pole at 6 hours postfertilization, followed by the specification of a ring of endodermal territory between mesoderm and ectoderm. We then assessed the role of β-catenin, MAPK and Notch signaling pathways during mesoderm and endoderm formation. Our results show that the mesoderm is initiated by MAPK signaling and simultaneously restricted to the future oral side by mutually exclusive nuclear β-catenin signaling. The mesodermal cells then express the Delta ligand, while the ectodermal cells express the Notch receptor. Inhibition of Notch signaling as well as ectopic expression of the Notch intracellular domain showed that endodermal tissue identity is induced by Notch signaling at the boundary between mesoderm and ectoderm. We propose a new model that outlines the different steps leading to the segregation of mesoderm and endoderm identities in Nematostella, confirming the presence of 3 distinct germ layer identities in this cnidarian. Notably, the observed crosstalk of MAPK, β-catenin and Notch signaling in the specification of three germ layers in Nematostella is highly reminiscent to early stage gastrulae of sea urchins suggesting that triploblasty may predate the split of cnidarians and bilaterians.

Project description:Extraembryonic mesoderm (ExM) is one of the first cell types that emerges during embryogenesis and constitutes essential supportive tissues for the pregnancy. Primate ExM is known to form prior to gastrulation, unlike its murine counterpart which is derived from the primitive streak. Based on the embryonic morphology and the proximity of ExM to the extraembryonic endoderm (hypoblast), we hypothesised that ExM can be derived in vitro from the naïve extraembryonic endoderm (nEnd) cell line. We applied a mesoderm differentiation protocol, which has been reported to induce ExM from mouse epiblast stem cells, on human nEnd and analysed the transcriptome on day 0, 1, 2, 8 and 15.

Project description:The transcription factor BRACHYURY (T, BRA) is one of the first markers of gastrulation and lineage specification in mammals. Despite its wide use and importance in stem cell and developmental biology, its genomic targets are largely unknown. Here, we used differentiated human embryonic stem cells to study the role of BRA in Bmp4-induced mesoderm and Activin-induced endoderm progenitors by ChIP-seq. We show that BRA has distinct genome-wide binding landscapes in these two populations. Our data illuminate the function of BRA in the context of human embryonic development and show that the regulatory role of BRA is context-dependent. ChIP-seq of BRACHYURY (T, BRA) in two cell types: endoderm and mesoderm progenitors derived from human embryonic stem cells after 36 hours of growth in chemically-defined media (described in Bernardo et al., Cell Stem Cell, 2011, 9:144-155). Input DNA samples are included as a control.

Project description:A critical juncture in early development is the partitioning of cells that will adopt different fates into three germ layers: the ectoderm, the mesoderm, and the endoderm. This step is achieved through the internalization of specified cells from the outermost surface layer, through a process called gastrulation. In Drosophila, gastrulation is achieved through cell shape changes (i.e., apical constriction) that change tissue curvature and lead to the folding of a surface epithelium. Folding of embryonic tissue results in mesoderm and endoderm invagination, not as individual cells, but as collective tissue units. The tractability of Drosophila as a model system is best exemplified by how much we know about Drosophila gastrulation, from the signals that pattern the embryo to the molecular components that generate force, and how these components are organized to promote cell and tissue shape changes. For mesoderm invagination, graded signaling by the morphogen, Spätzle, sets up a gradient in transcriptional activity that leads to the expression of a secreted ligand (Folded gastrulation) and a transmembrane protein (T48). Together with the GPCR Mist, which is expressed in the mesoderm, and the GPCR Smog, which is expressed uniformly, these signals activate heterotrimeric G-protein and small Rho-family G-protein signaling to promote apical contractility and changes in cell and tissue shape. A notable feature of this signaling pathway is its intricate organization in both space and time. At the cellular level, signaling components and the cytoskeleton exhibit striking polarity, not only along the apical-basal cell axis, but also within the apical domain. Furthermore, gene expression controls a highly choreographed chain of events, the dynamics of which are critical for primordium invagination; it does not simply throw the cytoskeletal "on" switch. Finally, studies of Drosophila gastrulation have provided insight into how global tissue mechanics and movements are intertwined as multiple tissues simultaneously change shape. Overall, these studies have contributed to the view that cells respond to forces that propagate over great distances, demonstrating that cellular decisions, and, ultimately, tissue shape changes, proceed by integrating cues across an entire embryo.

Project description:In vitro modeling of human peri-gastrulation development is a valuable tool for understanding embryogenetic mechanisms. The extraembryonic mesoderm (ExM) is crucial in supporting embryonic development by forming tissues such as the yolk sac, allantois, and chorionic villi. However, the origin of human ExM remains only partially understood. While evidence suggests a primitive endoderm (PrE) origin based on morphological findings, current in vitro models use epiblast-like cells. To address this gap, we developed a protocol to generate ExM-like cells from PrE-like cell line called naïve extraembryonic endoderm (nEnd). We identified the ExM-like cells by specific markers (LUM and ANXA1). Moreover, these in vitro-produced ExM cells displayed angiogenic potential on a soft matrix, mirroring their physiological role in vasculogenesis. By integrating single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNAseq) data, we found that the ExM-like cells clustered with the LUM/ANXA1-rich cell populations of the gastrulating embryo, indicating similarity between in vitro and ex utero cell populations. This study confirms the derivation of ExM from PrE and establishes a cell culture system that can be utilized to investigate ExM during human peri-gastrulation development, both in monolayer cultures and more complex models.
