Project description:We mapped the enhancer and long non-coding transcriptional landscape during mesendoderm specification. Mesendodermal progenitors were sorted from differentiating ESCs according to Eomes expression. Enhancer usage was coordinated with mesendoderm-specific expression of key lineage-determining transcription factors. We demonstrated that many of these enhancers are associated with the expression of lncRNAs.

Project description:As pluripotent human embryonic stem cells progress towards one germ layer fate, they lose the ability to adopt alternative fates. It is unknown how the cells’ competence for these alternative fates changes along their developmental trajectory or if this competence can be modulated. Here, we show that a differentiating stem cell’s probability of adopting a mesendodermal fate when given the appropriate signal falls sharply at a specific point along the ectodermal trajectory, and we further demonstrate that this point can be moved using genetic perturbations. Using a low-dimensional reaction coordinate to monitor progression towards ectoderm, we can determine the probability that individual cells at different points along this path can transition to the mesendodermal fate upon BMP4 and Activin A signal exposure. Knowing this probability allows us to prospectively isolate and profile differentiating cells based on their mesendoderm competence. Analysis and validation of these RNA-seq and ATAC-seq profiles identified transcription factors that can independently control the cell’s mesendoderm competence and its progression along the ectodermal developmental trajectory. In the classical picture of a Waddington landscape, these effects correspond to altering the barrier between fates and changing the cell’s location on the landscape, respectively. The ability of the underlying gene regulatory network to modulate these two aspects of the developmental landscape could allow separate control of the dynamics of differentiation and tissue size proportions.

Project description:We report here chromatin related factor Whsc1 links pluripotency exit and mesendodermal differentiation. We performed RNA-seqs to compare Whsc1+/+ and Whsc1-/- embryonic stem cells (ESCs) to compare the transcriptomes. UMI-4C experiments have been performed to identify regions having contacts with promoter regions of downstream Whsc1 targets: the mesendoderm transcritpion factors

Project description:How cellular diversity is created is a key question in biology. Embryonic stem cells (ESCs) are pluripotent cells that can develop into any cell type in the body. Yet, the regulatory mechanisms that govern cell fate decisions remain largely unknown. Moreover, although genetically identical, individual ESCs are strikingly heterogeneous regarding their differentiation capacity but the molecular basis for this phenotypic heterogeneity is unclear. We now demonstrate that pluripotent mouse ESCs (mESCs) display large natural variations in mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels that individualize their nuclear redox state and redox-sensitive H3K4me3 landscape. By using intracellular redox probes, we sorted pluripotent and differentiating mESCs based on their nuclear redox environments into subpopulations and analysed their differentiation capacity. We show that more reduced mESCs are biased towards the mesendodermal fate and form the primitive streak upon differentiation. This mesendodermal specification is due to increased Wnt signaling pathway activity, mediated via a ROS-specific regulatory mechanism of p53-dependent expression of the Wnt ligand Wnt3, and increased H3K4me3 levels. We demonstrate that formation of a primitive streak-like structure by differentiating mESCs is initiated by increased mitochondrial ROS and p53 stabilization, followed by antioxidant Nrf2 response pathway activation that leads to a reduced nuclear redox environment, allowing for the accumulation of ROS-sensitive H3K4me3 marks and activation of Wnt3 and other mesendoderm-related gene expression. In summary, our study shows that natural variations in endogenous ROS levels individualize the H3K4me3 landscape of mESCs, and through gene expression changes govern their cell fate decision at the onset of gastrulation.

Project description:In order to investigate the genome-wide binding profile of the forkhead transcription factor FOXK2 in human embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and downstream cell types, we generated the ChIP-seq data of FOXK2 in H1 ESC cells and two differentiated types of cells, mesendoderm cells and NPC cells.

Project description:The TGF-β superfamily member Nodal triggers mesendoderm differentiation in embryonic stem (ES) cells. This transition however requires cooperating Wnt signaling inputs. Here we report that p53, a powerful tumor suppressor in adult tissues, orchestrates this cooperation. We show that p53, which is released from inhibition as mouse ES cells exit from pluripotency, acts as a direct inducer of Wnt3 expression. Wnt-activated Tcf3 then converges with Nodal-activated Smad transcriptional complexes on mesendoderm specification super-enhancers. p53 and its homolog p73 act redundantly in Wnt induction. When p53 and p73 are depleted, the ES cells fail to secrete autocrine Wnt ligands, Tcf and Nodal-activated Smads fail to bind to mesendoderm gene enhancers, and the cells adopt ectoderm rather than mesendoderm identity. Enforced Wnt3 expression or addition of Wnt3a rescues mesendoderm differentiation in p53/p73-depleted ES cells. Thus, independently of their established role as tumor suppressors that guard genome integrity in mature cells, p53 and p73 serve a primordial role in ES cell differentiation by driving a cooperation of Wnt and TGF-β transcriptional inputs on mesendoderm identity gene enhancers.
