Project description:The ability to differentiate human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) efficiently into defined cardiac lineages, such as cardiomyocytes and cardiac endothelial cells, is crucial to study human heart development and model cardiovascular diseases in vitro. The mechanisms underlying the specification of these cell types during human development are not well-understood which limits fine-tuning and broader application of cardiac model systems. Here, we used the expression of ETV2, a master regulator of hematoendothelial specification in mice, to identify functionally distinct subpopulations during the co-differentiation of endothelial cells and cardiomyocytes from hiPSCs. Targeted analysis of single-cell RNA sequencing data revealed differential ETV2 dynamics in the two lineages. A newly created fluorescent reporter line allowed us to identify early lineage-predisposed states and show that a transient ETV2-high state initiates the specification of endothelial cells. We further demonstrated, unexpectedly, that functional cardiomyocytes can originate from progenitors expressing ETV2 at a low level. Our study thus sheds light on the in vitro differentiation dynamics of two important cardiac lineages.

Project description:Mechanisms of cell fate specification are central to developmental biology and regenerative medicine. ETV2 is a master regulator for the endothelial cell lineage specification. Here, we study mechanisms by which ETV2 overexpression in human iPSC-derived mesodermal progenitors efficiently specifies ECs.

Project description:A comprehensive understanding of a lineage map and molecular mechanisms underlying lineage specification is fundamental to development. To this end, ETS transcription factor Etv2 functions as the master regulator of hematopoietic and endothelial cell formation. As such, Etv2 regulated hemangiogenesis provides an excellent model for assessing cell lineage specification. Herein, we generated several reporter embryonic stem (ES) cell lines to map developmental route pertaining to hemangiogenesis. We performed transcriptome analysis and high throughput CRISPR screening to further delineate molecular mechanisms regulating hemangiogenic lineage specification. We show a distinct lineage map of hemangiogenesis, in which hemangiogenic fate is specified not simply by the onset of Etv2 expression, but in a threshold-dependent manner. Importantly, VEGF-FLK1 signaling is necessary for efficiently achieving ETV2-threshold. Moreover, we find forkhead transcription factor Foxh1 to be required for FLK1 mesoderm formation. These studies provide a roadmap in hematopoietic and vascular cell generation and applications in regenerative medicine.

Project description:Screening for genes up in Etv2+ cells within Flk-1+ ES derived mesoderm Microarray analysis performed to screen for the candidate genes regulated by Etv2. Differentiated Flk-1+ mesoderm can be devided into Etv2+ or-. Etv2+ cells are assumed to be committed to hemato/endothelial cells. Comparison of two populations can reveal genes relevant in this commitment. Extract RNA from sorted Flk-1+/Etv2- vs Flk-1+/Etv2+ populations.Etv2-Venus KI ES cells were differentiated on OP9 for 4-5 days and Flk-1+ population was separated into Etv2-Venus+ or- cells. Total RNA was purified from each population for analysis.

Project description:The lineage-determining transcription factor ETV2 is necessary and sufficient for hematoendothelial fate commitment. We investigated how ETV2-driven gene regulatory networks promote hematoendothelial fate commitment. We resolved the sequential determination steps of hematoendothelial versus cardiac differentiation from mouse embryonic stem cells. Etv2 was strongly induced and bound to the enhancers of hematoendothelial genes in a common cardiomyocyte-hematoendothelial mesoderm progenitor. However, only Etv2 itself and Tal1, not other ETV2-bound genes, were induced. Despite ETV2 genomic binding and Etv2 and Tal1 expression, cardiomyogenic fate potential was maintained. A second wave of ETV2-bound target genes was up-regulated during the transition from the common cardiomyocyte-hematoendothelial progenitor to the committed hematoendothelial population. A third wave of ETV-bound genes were subsequently expressed in the committed hematoendothelial population for sub-lineage differentiation. The shift from ETV2 binding to productive transcription, not ETV2 binding to target gene enhancers, drove hematoendothelial fate commitment. This work identifies mechanistic phases of ETV2-dependent gene expression that distinguish hematoendothelial specification, commitment, and differentiation.

Project description:Epigenetic changes in DNA and chromatin are implicated in organogenesis and cell differentiation. Through a genome-wide chromatin-immunoprecipitation DNA-sequencing approach (ChIP-seq) we analyses the enrichment of H3K79me2 and H3K4me3 (histone methylation marks associated with transcriptional activation) and H3K27me3 and H3K9me3 (histone methylation marks associated with transcriptional repression) in neonatal and adult cardiomyocytes. The histone methylation profile obtained was correlated with an Illumina gene expression profile from the same samples. Our results demonstrate that histone methylation, and in particular the DOT1L-mediated H3K79me2 mark, drives cardiomyogenesis through the definition of a specific transcriptional landscape Profiling of H3K79me2, H3K4me3, H3K27me3 and H3K9me3 in neonatal and adult cardiomyocytes
