Project description:We established two iPSC-derived 3D models recapitulating human somitogenesis, Somitoids and Segmentoids. Somitoids recapitulate the temporal sequence of somitogenesis, with all cells undergoing differentiation and morphogenesis in a synchronous manner. On the other hand, Segmentoids recapitulate the spatio-temporal features of somitogenesis, including gene expression dynamics, tissue elongation, sequential somite morphogenesis, and polarity patterning. They therefore provide an excellent proxy to study human somitogenesis.
Project description:This SuperSeries is composed of the following subset Series:; GSE7012: Identif. of oscillatory genes in somitogenesis from functional genomic analysis of C2C12 myoblast line; GSE7015: Identif. of oscillatory genes in somitogenesis from functional genomic analysis of a human mesenchymal stem cell model Experiment Overall Design: Refer to individual Series

Project description:This project performs quantitative proteomics analysis on 9 human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) by using the 4D-FastDIA technology. There are 3 groups, and each group has 3 biological replicates. The goal is to map the proteome of hPSCs, which helps to deeply investigate their molecular mechanisms at the protein level.
Project description:Human naive pluripotent stem cells have unrestricted lineage potential. Underpinning this property, naive cells are thought to lack chromatin-based lineage barriers. However, this assumption has not been tested. Here, we apply multi-omics to comprehensively define the chromatin-associated proteome, histone post-translational modifications and transcriptome of human naive and primed pluripotent stem cells. Integrating the chromatin-bound proteome and histone modification data sets reveals differences in the relative abundance and activities of distinct chromatin modules, identifying a strong enrichment of Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 (PRC2)-associated H3K27me3 in naive pluripotent stem cell chromatin. Single-cell approaches and human blastoid models reveal that PRC2 activity acts as a chromatin barrier restricting the differentiation of naive cells towards the trophoblast lineage, and inhibiting PRC2 promotes trophoblast fate induction and cavity formation. Our results establish that human naive pluripotent stem cells are not epigenetically unrestricted, but instead possess chromatin mechanisms that oppose the induction of alternative cell fates.
