Project description:Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) can regulate gene expression in a cell-specific fashion during development. Here we identify a novel lncRNA from the X-chromosome that we named lncRHOXF1 and which is abundantly expressed in trophectoderm and primitive endoderm cells of human blastocyst-stage embryos. LncRHOXF1 is a spliced and polyadenylated lncRNA about 1 kb in length, found in both the nuclear and cytoplasmic compartments of in vitro differentiated human trophectoderm progenitor cells. Gain of function experiments in human embryonic stem cells, which normally lack lncRHOXF1 RNA, revealed that lncRHOXF1 reduced proliferation and favored cellular differentiation. LncRHOXF1 knockdown using siRNAs in human trophectoderm progenitors increased expression of viral response genes, including type I interferon. Sendai virus infection of human trophectoderm progenitor cells increased lncRHOXF1 RNA levels and siRNA-mediated disruption of lncRHOXF1 during infection reduced the expression of viral response genes leading to higher virus replication. Thus, lncRHOXF1 RNA is the first example of a lncRNA that regulates the host response to viral infections in human placental progenitor cells, and we propose that it functions as a repressor of the viral response during early human development.

Project description:Infection with SARS-CoV-2 in pregnancy has been associated with poor maternal and neonatal outcomes and placental defects. The placenta, which acts as a physical and immunological barrier at the maternal/fetal interface, is not established until the end of the first trimester. Therefore, localized viral infection of the trophoblast compartment early in gestation could trigger an inflammatory response resulting in altered placental function and consequent suboptimal conditions for fetal growth and development. In this study, we investigated the effect of SARS-CoV-2 infection in early gestation placentae using placenta-derived human trophoblast stem cells (TSC), a novel in vitro model, and their extra-villous trophoblast (EVT) and syncytiotrophoblast (STB) derivatives. Consistent with host viral entry protein expression, SARS-CoV-2 was able to productively replicate in TSC-derived STB and EVT but not undifferentiated TSC. Both early EVT and STB elicited an interferon-mediated innate immune response similar to other cells infected with this virus. Therefore, we have also shown that placenta derived TSCs are a robust in vitro model to investigate the effect of this viral infection in the trophoblast compartment of the early placenta. Overall, these results suggest that SARS-CoV-2 infection in early gestation can adversely affect placental development and that might occur via directly infecting the differentiated trophoblast compartment, thus posing a higher risk for poor pregnancy outcomes.

Project description:Long noncoding RNAs known as roX (RNA on X) are crucial for male development in Drosophila, as their loss leads to male lethality from the late larval stages. While roX RNAs are recognized for their role in sex-chromosome dosage compensation, ensuring balanced expression of X-linked genes in both sexes, their potential influence on autosomal gene regulation remains unexplored. Our investigation reveals that roX RNAs not only govern the X chromosome but also target genes on autosomes that lack male-specific lethal (MSL) complex occupancy, together with Polycomb repressive complexes (PRCs). We observed that roX RNAs colocalize with MSL proteins on the X chromosome and PRC components on autosomes. Intriguingly, loss of roX function reduces H4K16ac levels on the X chromosome and H3K27me3 levels on autosomes. Correspondingly, X-linked genes display reduced expression, whereas many autosomal genes exhibit elevated expression upon roX gene deletion. Our findings propose a dual role for roX RNAs: activators of X-linked genes and repressors of autosomal genes, achieved through interactions with MSL and PRC complexes, respectively. This study uncovers the unconventional epigenetic repressive function of roX RNAs.

Project description:SARS-CoV-2 infection during pregnancy leads to an increased risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes. To determine the host response of the human placenta to SARS-CoV-2 infection, we performed RNA-Seq on placentas from COVID-19+ and COVID-19- mothers, as well as placentas that presented with non-COVID related inflammatory pathologies. We found that placentas infected by SARS-CoV-2 at term show an induction of inflammatory genes, including a robust increase in chemokine and cytokine signaling. Furthermore, when SARS-CoV-2 is detected in the placenta, placenta cell marker identity genes are lost with a concomitant increase in macrophage gene expression. Furthermore, when infected ex vivo, a strong inflammatory response and cellular de-identification is similarly observed, along with an acute increase in cell death in response to viral infection. Our data describes the inflammatory responses that occur in the placenta after SARS-CoV-2 infection both acutely and long-term, and provides a comparison with other placental inflammatory pathologies.

Project description:Pig cloning by somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) remains extremely inefficient and many cloned embryos undergo abnormal development. Here by profiling transcriptome expression, we observed dysregulated chromosome-wide gene expression in every chromosome and identified a considerable number of genes that are aberrantly expressed in the abnormal cloned embryos. In particular, XIST, a long noncoding RNA gene, showed highly ectopic expression in abnormal embryos. We also proved that nullification of the XIST gene in donor cells can correct aberrant gene expression in cloned embryos and enhance long term development capacity of the embryos. Furthermore, the increased quality of XIST-deficient embryos was associated with the global H3K9me3 reduction. Injection of H3K9me demethylase Kdm4A into NT embryos could improve the development of preimplantation stage embryos. However, Kdm4A addition also induced XIST derepression in the active X chromosome, thus was not able to enhance the in vivo long term developmental capacity of porcine NT embryos.

Project description:TRIM24 and TRIM33 interact to form a corepressor complex that suppresses murine hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). TRIM24 and TRIM33 cooperatively repress retinoic acid receptor dependent activity of VL30 retro-transposons in hepatocytes in vivo. In TRIM24 knockout hepatocytes, VL30 long terminal repeats (LTRs) generate enhancer (e)RNAs and act as surrogate promoter and enhancer elements deregulating expression of neighbouring genes. We show that a VL30 LTR-derived eRNA is essential to activate the lipocalin 13 gene in hepatocytes in vivo. A further consequence of VL30 de-repression is the accumulation of retro-transcribed VL30 DNA in the cytoplasm of TRIM24-mutant hepatocytes and activation of the viral defence/interferon response. VL30 activation therefore modulates gene expression via the enhancer activity of the LTRs and by activation of the interferon response. Both of these processes are genetically linked to HCC development suggesting that VL30 repression by TRIM24 plays an important role in tumour suppression.

Project description:In human, the functional placenta requires the proper differentiation of trophoblastic subtypes from the trophoblast stem cells (hTSCs). Although successful derivation of hTSCs from the early placentas and blastocysts, these hTSCs face ethical concerns and limited models for trophoblast-related disorders at later stage, such as preeclampsia. Here, we show that both hESCs and hiPSCs are able to be induced to the long-term and proliferative hTSCs under defined culture medium. These induced trophoblast stem cells (iTSCs) are comparable to the hTSC cell line derived from blastocyst in morphology, growth properties, specific genes expression, capacity of differentiating toward extravillous cytotrophoblast and syncytiotrophoblast, and patterns of transcriptome profile, chromatin accessibility and histone modification that are conducive to placenta development and maintenance of hTSCs. Notably, iTSCs meet four criteria defining "trophoblastic" including: expression of specific transcript factors, hypomethylation of ELF5 promoter, lack of expression of HLA-class I molecules and expression of the chromosome 19-encoded miRNA. Moreover, we reveal that addition of BMP4 or absence of H3K27 methyltransferases EZH1/2 could enhance the iTSCs generation. Our results suggest that human TS cells could be derived from human pluripotent stem cells, which expands the source of human TS cells avoiding ethic issues and provides a useful tool for researching placenta development and function, and modeling placenta-originated disorders.
