Project description:The germ layer concept has been one of the foremost organizing principles in developmental biology, classification, systematics and evolution for 150 years. Of the three germ layers, the mesoderm is found in bilaterian animals but is absent in species in the phyla Cnidaria and Ctenophora, which has been taken as evidence that the mesoderm was the final germ layer to evolve. The origin of the ectoderm and endoderm layers, however, remains unclear with models supporting the antecedence of each as well as a simultaneous origin. We hypothesized that global analysis of gene expression in each layer throughout development may resolve the early events of animal evolution. Here, we determine the temporal and spatial components of gene expression spanning embryonic development for all C. elegans genes and use it to determine the evolutionary age of the germ layers. The gene expression programs of the mesoderm is generally induced after the ectoderm and endoderm germ layers, thus making it the last germ layer to both evolve and develop. Strikingly, the C. elegans endoderm and ectoderm expression programs do not co-induce; rather the endoderm activates earlier. We also observed early expression of endoderm orthologs during the embryology of Xenopus tropicalis, Nematostella vectensis, and the sponge Amphimedon queenslandica. Querying for the phylogenetic ages of specifically expressed genes revealed that the endoderm is comprised of older genes, supporting its antecedence among the germ layers. Taken together, we propose that the endoderm program has retained the feeding functions of the last common ancestor with the choanoflagellates, thus allowing for the specialization of an ectoderm germ layer. Our work reveals that the evolutionary appearance of the germ layers continues to constrain regulatory networks in metazoans. Two temporal assays of C. elegans embryonic development, starting at the zygote: (a) Embryos collected at fixed (~10 minute) time intervals. (b) Embryo segregates, up to five lines of blastomeres, isolated in reference to mitotic events. There were 184 samples in total, representing 100 distnict data points.

Project description:Human embryogenesis is characterised by a series of coordinated cell fate specification events. Upon implantation on day 7, the three cell lineages forming the human blastocyst undergo major morphogenetic and transcriptomic changes. Using single-cell RNA sequencing, we reconstruct the molecular events driving post-implantation development of the human embryo at day 9 and 11. Our study provides the first molecular map of gene expression patterns in early post-implantation human embryos, unveiling how signalling interactions between embryonic and extra-embryonic tissues drive human embryogenesis.

Project description:Quantitative mass spectrometry-based proteomic analyses in combination with genetics provide powerful tools in developmental cell signaling research. Drosophila melanogaster is one of the most widely used genetic models for studying development and disease. Here we combined quantitative proteomics with genetic selection to determine global changes in the proteome upon depletion of the Heartless (Htl) Fibroblast-Growth Factor (FGF) receptor signaling in Drosophila embryos at the gastrula stage. We present a robust, single generation SILAC (stable isotope labeling with amino acids in cell culture) protocol for labeling proteins in early embryos and for the selection of homozygously mutant embryos at pre-gastrula stages using an independent genetic marker. Our analyses detected quantitative changes in the global proteome of htl mutant embryos during gastrulation. We identified distinct classes of down-regulated and up-regulated proteins and network analyses indicates functionally related groups of proteins in each class. In addition, we identified changes in the abundance of phosphopeptides. These data suggest that FGF signaling in the early embryo affects global changes in the abundance of metabolic, nucleoplasmic, cytoskeletal and transport proteins.

Project description:Dosage compensation in D. melanogaster males is achieved via targeting of the MSL complex to X chromosomal genes. This is proposed to involve initial sequence-specific recognition of the X at ~150-300 chromatin entry sites, and subsequent spreading to nearby active genes. Here we test a model in which the spreading step requires transcription and is sequence-independent. We ask whether, in the native context of the X chromosome, MSL complex will target genes of autosomal origin. We find that MSL complex does bind such genes, but only if transcriptionally active. Targeting is accompanied by acetylation of the histone H4K16 residue and two-fold transcriptional up-regulation. We conclude that the presence of a long-sought specific DNA sequence within X-linked genes is not obligatory for MSL complex binding. Instead, physical linkage and transcription play the pivotal roles in the identification of MSL targets irrespective of their origin and DNA sequence. Keywords: Epigenetics ChIP-seq measurements of MSL complex binding and input control. Chromatin was prepared from third instar male larvae of a genotype y w TrojanElephant; MSL3-TAP; msl3.

Project description:The significant morphological differences observed during embryo development in angiosperms and gymnosperms are expected to be the result of a differential control of gene expression. We used a loblolly pine (Pinus taeda) cDNA microarray to analyze global transcriptional changes along zygotic embryogenesis in maritime pine (Pinus pinaster). A time-course analysis of the data obtained from the five embryo developmental groups used in this study led to the identification of 4,645 genes whose expression varied along P. pinaster embryogenesis. These transcripts were clustered into six distinct expression profiles. The grouping of these profiles in early, mid-embryogenesis and embryo maturation, according to the developmental period where most of the sequences were up-regulated, evidenced that characteristic transcriptional changes are associated to each developmental period. The application of a cut-off value of 1.95-fold change led to the identification of 1,838 differentially expressed transcripts that were categorized by biological process. Metabolism, interaction with the environment, oxidation-reduction and transport were some of the most represented categories. During early embryogenesis genes putatively involved in phytohormone-mediated signaling were identified, whereas in middle stages the overrepresented genes could be associated with cotyledon formation and induction of somatic embryogenesis. Genes associated with the synthesis of storage products were up-regulated in the latest stages of pine embryo development. It was also during this developmental period that the largest number of sequences putatively encoding transcription factors was identified. Pine immature zygotic embryos were pooled into five different developmental groups according to the collection date (Day0; Day5; Day11; Day15 and Day25). A common reference design was used. Total RNA was extracted from each sample. Three extractions were prepared per sample (biological replicates). A defined ammount from each RNA sample was pooled to use as reference. Messenger RNA was amplified for both test samples and reference. These were hybridized together in two separate experiments (technical replicates). In total, 30 slides were analyzed.

Project description:Blood and cardiovascular development represent paradigms of embryonic organ formation, with increasingly specialised cells generated from early mesoderm. Here, we map the progression of mesoderm towards blood by single cell expression analysis of 3,934 cells, aiming to capture an entire embryo equivalent of cells with blood-forming potential at four sequential developmental stages. Using novel computational approaches, we reconstruct the developmental journey at single cell resolution, which reveals asynchrony of maturation and sequential waves of expression for major regulators. Considering transitions between individual cellular states, we synthesise executable transcriptional regulatory network models that recapitulate blood development. Using mouse embryos and embryonic stem cells, we validate model predictions by showing that Sox7 inhibits primitive erythropoiesis, and that Sox and Hox factors control early expression of Erg. We therefore demonstrate that single cell analysis of a developing organ coupled with novel computational approaches can reveal the transcriptional programs that control organogenesis.

Project description:Preimplantation stages of mouse embryo development involve temporal and spatial specification and segregation of three late blastocyst cell lineages; trophectoderm (TE), primitive endoderm (PrE) and epiblast (EPI). Spatial separation of the outer TE lineage from the two inner-cell-mass (ICM) lineages (PrE and EPI) starts with the 8- to 16-cell transition and concludes following transit through the 16- to 32-cell stages. This results in a nascent early blastocyst ICM derived from descendants of primary founding inner cells and a secondarily contributed population; of which subsequent relative EPI versus PrE potencies are subject to debate. We showed that generation of primary but not the secondary ICM populations is highly dependent on temporally discreet activation of the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR – specifically mTORC1) around 8-cell stage M-phase entry. Moreover, that this role is mediated via the regulated function of the 7-methylguanosine- (7mG) cap binding initiation complex (EIF4F) and potentiating the translation of a subset of key but otherwise intransigent mRNAs containing 5’ UTR terminal oligopyrimidine (TOP-) sequence motifs. To find out translation of which mRNAs is regulated by mTOR during 8- to 16-cell transition, we analysed proteomes of control and mTOR-inhibited embryos during this time window.
