Project description:Pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) have increasingly been used to model different aspects of embryogenesis and organ formation. Despite recent advances in the in vitro induction of major mesodermal lineages and mesoderm-derived cell types experimental model systems that can recapitulate more complex biological features of human mesoderm development and patterning are largely missing. Here, we utilized induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) for the stepwise in vitro induction of presomitic mesoderm (PSM) and its derivatives to model distinct aspects of human somitogenesis. We focused initially on modeling the human segmentation clock, a major biological concept believed to underlie the rhythmic and controlled emergence of somites, which give rise to the segmental pattern of the vertebrate axial skeleton. We succeeded to observe oscillatory expression of core segmentation clock genes, including HES7 and DKK1, determined the period of the human segmentation clock to be around five hours and showed the presence of dynamic traveling wave-like gene expression within in vitro induced human PSM. We furthermore identified and compared oscillatory genes in human and murine PSC-derived PSM, which revealed species-specific as well as common molecular components and novel pathways associated with the mouse and human segmentation clocks. Utilizing CRISPR/Cas9-based genome editing technology, we then targeted genes, for which mutations in patients with segmentation defects of vertebrae (SDV) such as spondylocostal dysostosis (SCD) have been reported (e.g. HES7, LFNG, DLL3 and MESP2 DLL3). Subsequent analysis of patient-like knock-out and point-mutation lines as well as patient-derived iPSCs together with their genetically corrected isogenic controls revealed gene-specific alterations in oscillation, synchronization or differentiation properties, validating the overall utility of our model system, to provide novel insights into the human segmentation clock as well as diseases associated with the formation of the human axial skeleton.

Project description:Images and gpr files were examined using a novel saturation reduction method to determine whether accuracy could be improved by extending dynamic range of saturated pixels Three immunosignatures from human Valley Fever (Coccidiodes) patients and three immunosignatures from human influenza vaccine recipients were examined to test an algorithm that extends the apparent dynamic range of a fluorescence image. These images had several saturated spots at 70PMT and 100% laser power. The program examined the differences between Valley Fever and influenza in terms of standard image processing vs. segmentation and intensity estimation.

Project description:The segmental organization of the vertebral column is established early in embryogenesis when pairs of somites are rhythmically produced by the presomitic mesoderm (PSM). The tempo of somite formation is controlled by a molecular oscillator known as the segmentation clock. While this oscillator has been well-characterized in model organisms, whether a similar oscillator exists in humans remains unknown. Genetic analysis of patients with severe spine segmentation defects have implicated several human orthologs of cyclic genes associated with the mouse segmentation clock, suggesting that this oscillator might be conserved in humans. Here we show that in vitro-derived human as well as mouse PSM cells recapitulate oscillations of the segmentation clock. Human PSM cells oscillate twice slower than mouse cells (5-hours vs. 2.5 hours), but are similarly regulated by FGF, Wnt, Notch and YAP. Single cell RNA-sequencing reveals that mouse and human PSM cells in vitro follow a similar developmental trajectory to mouse PSM in vivo. Furthermore, we demonstrate that FGF signaling controls the phase and period of oscillations, expanding the role of this pathway beyond its classical interpretation in 'Clock and Wavefront' models. Overall, our work identifying the human segmentation clock represents an important breakthrough for human developmental biology.

Project description:The development of mirror-image biology systems and related applications is hindered by the lack of effective methods to sequence mirror-image (D-) proteins. Although natural-chirality (L-) proteins can be sequenced by bottom–up liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (LC–MS/MS), the sequencing of long D-peptides and D-proteins with the same strategy requires digestion by a site-specific D-protease before mass analysis. Here we apply solid-phase peptide synthesis and native chemical ligation to chemically synthesize a mirror-image version of trypsin, a widely used protease for site-specific protein digestion. Using mirror-image trypsin digestion and LC–MS/MS, we sequence a mirror-image large subunit ribosomal protein (L25) and a mirror-image Sulfolobus solfataricus P2 DNA polymerase IV (Dpo4), and distinguish between different mutants of D-Dpo4. We also perform writing and reading of digital information in a long D-peptide of 50 amino acids. Thus, mirror-image trypsin digestion in conjunction with LC–MS/MS may facilitate practical applications of D-peptides and D-proteins as potential therapeutic and informational tools.

Project description:Fast and selective isolation of single cells with unique spatial and morphological traits remains a technical challenge. We address this by establishing high speed image-enabled cell sorting (ICS), which records multicolor fluorescence images, and sorts cells based on measurements from image data at speeds up to 15,000 events per second. We combine ICS with CRISPR-pooled screens to identify novel regulators of the NF-κB pathway, enabling the completion of genome-wide image- based screens in around nine hours of run-time.

Project description:All vertebrates share a segmented body axis. Segments form from the rostral end of the presomitic mesoderm (PSM) with a periodicity that is regulated by the segmentation clock. The segmentation clock is a molecular oscillator that exhibits dynamic clock gene expression across the PSM with a periodicity that matches somite formation. Notch signalling is crucial to this process. Altering Notch intracellular domain (NICD) stability affects both the clock period and somite size. However, the mechanism by which NICD stability is regulated in this context is unclear. We identified a highly conserved site crucial for NICD recognition by the SCF E3 ligase, which targets NICD for degradation. We demonstrate both CDK1 and CDK2 can phosphorylate NICD in the domain where this crucial residue lies and that NICD levels vary in a cell cycle-dependent manner. Inhibiting CDK1 or CDK2 activity increases NICD levels both in vitro and in vivo, leading to a delay of clock gene oscillations and an increase in somite size.

Project description:In mammals, circadian clocks are strictly suppressed during early embryonic stages as well as pluripotent stem cells, by the lack of CLOCK/BMAL1 mediated circadian feedback loops. During ontogenesis, the innate circadian clocks emerge gradually at a late developmental stage, then, with which the circadian temporal order is invested in each cell level throughout a body. Meanwhile, in the early developmental stage, a segmented body plan is essential for an intact developmental process and somitogenesis is controlled by another cell-autonomous oscillator, the segmentation clock, in the posterior presomitic mesoderm (PSM). In the present study, focusing upon the interaction between circadian key components and the segmentation clock, we investigated the effect of the CLOCK/BMAL1 on the segmentation clock Hes7 oscillation, revealing that the expression of functional CLOCK/BMAL1 severely interferes with the ultradian rhythm of segmentation clock in induced PSM and gastruloids. RNA sequencing analysis showed that the premature expression of CLOCK/BMAL1 affects the Hes7 transcription and its regulatory pathways. These results suggest that the suppression of CLOCK/BMAL1-mediated transcriptional regulation during the somitogenesis may be inevitable for intact mammalian development.
