Genetic Programs in Human and Mouse Early Embryos Revealed by Single-Cell RNA-Sequencing

ABSTRACT: Mammalian preimplantation development is a complex process involving dramatic changes in the transcriptional architecture. Through single-cell RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq), we report here a comprehensive analysis of transcriptome dynamics from oocyte to morula in both human and mouse embryos. Based on single nucleotide variants (SNVs) in blastomere mRNAs and paternal-specific SNPs, we identify novel stage-specific monoallelic expression patterns for a significant portion of polymorphic gene transcripts (25-53%). By weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA), we find that each developmental stage can be concisely delineated by a small number of functional modules of co-expressed genes. This result indicates a sequential order of transcriptional changes in pathways of cell cycle, gene regulation, translation, and metabolism in a step-wise fashion from cleavage to morula. Cross-species comparisons reveal that the majority of human stage-specific modules (7 out of 9) are remarkably preserved, only to diverge in developmental specificity and timing in mice. We further identify conserved key members (or hub genes) of the human and mouse networks. These genes represent novel candidates that are likely key players in driving mammalian preimplantation development. Collectively, we demonstrate that mammalian preimplantation development is orchestrated by evolutionarily conserved genetic programs that diverge in developmental timing. Our results provide a valuable resource to dissect gene regulatory mechanism underlying progressive development of early mammalian embryos. single-cell RNA-seq of human and mouse blastomeres

Selective demethylation and altered gene expression are associated with ICF Syndrome in human induced pluripotent stem cells and mesenchymal stem cells

Project description:Immunodeficiency, Centromeric Instability, and Facial Anomalies Type I (ICF1) Syndrome is a rare genetic disease caused by mutations in DNMT3B, a de novo DNA methyltransferase. However, the molecular basis of how DNMT3B-deficiency leads to ICF1 pathogenesis is unclear. Induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) technology facilitates the study of early human developmental diseases via facile in vitro paradigms. Here, we generate iPSCs from ICF Type 1 Syndrome patient fibroblasts followed by directed differentiation of ICF1-iPSCs to mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). By performing genome-scale bisulfite sequencing, we find that DNMT3B-deficient iPSCs exhibit global loss of non-CG methylation and select CG hypomethylation at gene promoters and enhancers. Further unbiased scanning of ICF1 iPSC methylomes also identifies large megabase regions of CG hypomethylation typically localized in centromeric and subtelomeric regions. RNA sequencing of ICF1 and control iPSCs reveals abnormal gene expression in ICF1 iPSCs relevant to ICF Syndrome phenotypes, some directly associated with promoter or enhancer hypomethylation. Upon differentiation of ICF1 iPSCs to mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), we find virtually all CG hypomethylated regions remained hypomethylated when compared to either wild-type iPSC-derived MSCs or primary bone-marrow MSCs. Collectively, our results show specific methylome and transcriptome defects in both ICF1-iPSCs and differentiated somatic cell lineages, providing a valuable stem cell system for further in vitro study of the molecular pathogenesis of ICF1 Syndrome.

Principles of the Earliest Lineage Specification and X Chromosome Dosage Compensation in Bovine Early Embryos

Project description:Lineage specification and X chromosome dosage compensation are two crucial biological processes that occur during preimplantation embryonic development. While these processes have been studied extensively in mice and humans, they are less understood in other species. This study aims to provide fundamental insights into bovine preimplantation development using single-cell RNA-sequencing. The study analyzes the transcriptomes of 286 individual cells and reveals that bovine trophectoderm/inner cell mass transcriptomes diverge at the early blastocyst stage, after cavitation but before blastocyst expansion. The study also identifies transcriptomic markers and provides the timing of lineage specification events in the bovine embryo. Moreover, the study confirms the occurrence of X chromosome dosage compensation from morula to middle blastocyst and reveals that this compensation results from downregulation of X-linked genes in female embryonic cells. The transcriptional atlas generated by this study is expected to be widely useful in improving our understanding of mammalian early embryo development.

ALKBH5 is a New Mammalian RNA Demethylase

Project description:N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is the most prevalent internal modification of messenger RNA (mRNA) in higher eukaryotes. Here we report ALKBH5 as a new mammalian demethylase that oxidatively removes the m6A modification in mRNA in vitro and inside cells. This demethylation activity of ALKBH5 significantly affects mRNA export and RNA metabolism as well as the assembly of mRNA processing factors in nuclear speckles. Alkbh5-deficient male mice are characterized by impaired fertility resulting from apoptosis that affects meiotic metaphase-stage spermatocytes. In accordance with this defect, we have identified in mouse testes 1552 differentially expressed genes which cover broad functional categories and include spermatogenesis-related mRNAs involved in the p53 functional interaction network. We show that Alkbh5-deficiency impacts the expression levels of some of these mRNAs, supporting the observed phenotype. The discovery of this new RNA demethylase strongly suggests that the reversible m6A modification plays fundamental and broad functions in mammalian cells. RNA-seq in two cell types

Derivation and differentiation of haploid human embryonic stem cells [RNA-Seq 1]

Project description:Diploidy is a fundamental genetic feature in mammals, in which haploid cells normally arise only as post-meiotic germ cells that serve to insure a diploid genome upon fertilization. Gamete manipulation has yielded haploid embryonic stem (ES) cells from several mammalian species, but as of yet not from humans. Here we analyzed a large collection of human parthenogenetic ES cell lines originating from haploid oocytes, leading to the successful isolation and maintenance of human ES cell lines with a normal haploid karyotype. Haploid human ES cells exhibited typical pluripotent stem cell characteristics such as self-renewal capacity and a pluripotency-specific molecular signature. Although haploid human ES cells resembled their diploid counterparts, they also displayed distinct properties including differential regulation of X chromosome inactivation and genes involved in oxidative phosphorylation, alongside reduction in absolute gene expression levels and cell size. Intriguingly, we found that a haploid genome is compatible not only with the undifferentiated pluripotent state, but also with differentiated somatic fates representing all three embryonic germ layers, despite a persistent dosage imbalance between the autosomes and X chromosome. We expect that haploid human ES cells will provide novel means for studying human functional genomics, development and evolution. RNA sequencing analysis was performed on a total of 15 samples, including haploid and diploid human parthenogenetic embryonic stem cells at different differentiation states and cell cycle phases.

Single-cell analysis of gene networks in trophoectoderm and inner cell mass during human, monkey and mouse preimplantation development

Project description:Mammalian preimplantation development involves highly conserved genetic programs across species. However, temporal differences in gene network activation and membership differences in gene modules are also observed. In this study, we focus on understanding the activation of crucial gene networks in trophoectoderm (TE) and inner cell mass across species using human, monkey, and mouse models. By single cell RNA sequencing analysis in cynomolgus monkey early embryos, we find relatively late major embryonic genome activation occurring at early morula stages. Gene network preservation analysis reveals that genetic programs in monkey embryos more closely resemble human embryos compared to mouse, supporting the notion that preimplantation development in primate species are divergent from rodent species. For example, primate blastocysts show differential expression of ICM and TE genes such as X and Y, whereas mouse show differences in A and B expression. Interestingly, the overall conservation of TE gene networks is higher than ICM across three species, suggesting a more conserved developmental program in TE lineage differentiation. Additionally, TE-specific gene networks are exclusively activated at the blastocyst stage with low or no expression in morula or earlier embryos. In contrast, a majority of ICM-specific genes are strongly activated during the first major wave of EGA, which are further fine-tuned during late morula and blastocyst stages. Taken together, our study provides new insight into mammalian preimplantation development and sequential activation of lineage-specific genetic programs of TE versus ICM.

Conservation of mRNA and protein expression during development of C. elegans

Project description:Spatiotemporal control of gene expression is crucial for development and subject to evolutionary changes. Although proteins are the final product of most genes, the developmental proteome of an animal has not yet been comprehensively defined, and the correlation between RNA and protein abundance during development is largely unknown. Here, we globally measured and compared protein and mRNA expression changes during the life cycle of the nematodes C. elegans and C. briggsae, separated by ~30 million years of evolution. We observed that developmental mRNA and protein changes were highly conserved, to a surprisingly similar degree, but poorly correlated within a species, suggesting important and widespread post-transcriptional regulation. Post-transcriptional control was particularly well conserved if mRNA fold changes were buffered on the protein level, indicating a predominant repressive function. Finally, among divergently expressed genes, we identified insulin signaling, a pathway involved in life span determination, as a putative target of adaptive evolution. Samples of C. elegans and C. briggsae were collected at major developmental stages throughout the nematode life cycle. These stages comprise a population of mixed embryonic stages (E), populations of all four larval stages (L1, L2, L3, L4), late L4 larvae (LL4), young adults (YA), and a reference sample consisting of a mixture of all stages. To obtain synchronized worm populations, embryos were extracted by bleaching gravid adults and synchronized by starvation. Later stages were picked at fixed timepoints after determining the developmental stages by microscopic observation. For all stages, at least a single poly(A)-extracted mRNA library was sequenced on a single lane of an Illumina Genome Analyzer IIx.
