Project description:Pluripotency is the ability to give rise to all cell types of the body and is first observed in a mass of disorganised cells of the embryo. Upon implantation, pluripotent cells form a columnar epithelium and undergo lumenogenesis. At gastrulation, a portion of the pluripotent epiblast will undergo epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT), forming the primitive streak (PS). It still remains unclear what molecular mechanism supports the epithelial identity of the pluripotent epiblast before gastrulation. Here we developed an optimised, chemically defined 3D model of human pluripotent epiblast formation in which conventional pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) self-organise into a columnar epithelium with a lumen in 48 hours. From 72 hours we observed spontaneous symmetry breaking and specification of PS-like cells, as confirmed by single-cell RNA sequencing. We found that Insulin and FGF signalling are both required for the proliferation and survival of the pluripotent epiblast model. Conversely, TGF-beta signalling maintains epithelial identity. Epithelial identity appears uncoupled from the expression of canonical pluripotency markers OCT4, NANOG and PRDM14, but under the control of ZNF398. Once the pluripotent epithelium is established, TGF-beta inhibition is inconsequential, and stimulation with Activin A leads to highly efficient PS induction. We conclude that TGF-beta dynamically orchestrates epithelial identity of human pluripotent cells.

Project description:TGF-β is a major tumor suppressor in gastrointestinal (GI) and squamous carcinomas, which exhibit frequent genetic inactivation of Smad4, a key TGF-β signaling component. Apoptosis is implicated as an important mediator of the tumor suppressive function of TGF-β, although this process remains poorly understood. To address this long-standing question, we dissected the tumor suppressive action of TGF-β in naïve pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA) cells. Here we show that TGF-β/Smad4 signaling triggers an EMT in Kras-mutant pancreatic progenitor cells but turns this process into a trigger of apoptosis by converting the progenitor cell transcription factor Sox4 from an enforcer of epithelial progenitor identity into an activator of apoptosis. This occurs as a result of the EMT-linked repression of the endodermal master regulator Klf5, which cooperates with Sox4 to promote epithelial progenitor identity, and loss of which unmasks a latent apoptotic transcriptional program driven by Sox4. By losing Smad4, Kras-mutant PDA cells avoid this fate and instead use Sox4 as a TGF-β-dependent enforcer of the epithelial progenitor cell state.
