Project description:Wnt signaling plays a major role in early neural development. An aberrant activation in Wnt/β-catenin pathway leads to defective anteroposterior patterning, resulting in neural tube closure defects (NTDs). Changes in folate metabolism may participate in early embryo fate determination. We report here that in C57BL/6C mouse embryonic stem cells (mESC), folate deficiency activates Wnt/β-catenin pathway by upregulating a chorion-specific transcription factor Gcm1. Specifically, folate deficiency promotes the formation of the Gcm1/β-catenin/T-cell factor (TCF4) complex to regulate the Wnt target gene transactivation through the Wnt-responsive elements. Moreover, the enhanced transcriptional activity of Gcm1 is found to be dependent on CREB binding protein. Lastly, in NTDs mouse models and low folate NTDs human brain samples, Gcm1 and Wnt/β-catenin target genes related to neural tube closure are specifically overexpressed. These results indicate that low folate promotes Wnt/β-catenin signaling via activating Gcm1, leading to aberrant vertebrate neural development

Project description:Wnt signaling plays a major role in early neural development. An aberrant activation in Wnt/β-catenin pathway causes defective anteroposterior patterning, which results in neural tube closure defects (NTDs). Changes in folate metabolism may participate in early embryo fate determination. We have identified that folate deficiency activated Wnt/β-catenin pathway by upregulating a chorion-specific transcription factor Gcm1. Specifically, folate deficiency promoted formation of the Gcm1/β-catenin/T-cell factor (TCF4) complex formation to regulate the Wnt targeted gene transactivation through Wnt-responsive elements. Moreover, the transcription factor Nanog upregulated Gcm1 transcription in mESCs under folate deficiency. Lastly, in NTDs mouse models and low-folate NTDs human brain samples, Gcm1 and Wnt/β-catenin targeted genes related to neural tube closure are specifically overexpressed. These results indicated that low-folate level promoted Wnt/β-catenin signaling via activating Gcm1, and thus leaded into aberrant vertebrate neural development.

Project description:Human trophoblast stem cells were infected with lentivirus to knockdown the transcription factor GCM1. RNA-seq was then utilized to determine global transcriptomic changes between control and GCM1-deficient human trophoblasts either cultured as cytotrophoblasts or induced to form extravillous trophoblasts. This study provides insight into the molecular mechanisms regulating extavillous trophoblast development.

Project description:The placenta develops alongside the embryo and nurtures fetal development to term. During the first stages of embryonic development, due to low blood circulation, the blood and ambient oxygen supply is normally very low (~1-2% O2) and gradually increases upon placental invasion. While a hypoxic environment is associated with stem cell self-renewal and proliferation, persistent hypoxia may have severe effects on differentiating cells and could be the underlying cause of placental disorders. We find that human trophoblast stem cells (TSC) thrive in low oxygen, whereas differentiation of syncytiotrophoblast (STB) and extravillous trophoblast (EVT) is negatively affected by hypoxic conditions. We find that the pro-differentiation factor GCM1 (human Glial Cell Missing-1) is downregulated in low oxygen, and there is substantial reduction of GCM1-regulated genes in hypoxic conditions. Knock-out of GCM1 in TSC caused impaired EVT and STB formation and function, reduced expression of genes that respond to differentiation, and resulted in maintenance of self-renewal genes. Treatment with a PI3K inhibitor reported to reduce GCM1 protein levels likewise counteracts spontaneous or directed differentiation. Chromatin immunoprecipitation of GCM1 showed enrichment of GCM1-specific binding near key transcription factors upregulated upon differentiation including the contact inhibition factor CDKN1C. Loss of GCM1 resulted in downregulation of CDKN1C and corresponding loss of contact inhibition, implicating GCM1 in regulation of this critical process.

Project description:Folate is a vitamin essential for cell growth and has been used to prevent congenital abnormalities. However, little is known about how folate affects health in older adults. We examined healthspan as a function of dietary folate intake. To begin to measure such effects, we performed a small (2x2; sex-by-diet) pilot study in the long-lived inbred mouse strain C57BL/6.
