Project description:We constructed one-cell stage embryos by maternal pronuclear (mPN) transfer having B6 ooplasm, B6 paternal PN (pPN), and either B6 or C3H mPN (BBB and BCB, respectively). We collected embryos of each type that were either treated (BBB+a, BCB+a) or untreated with α-amanitin (BBB, BCB) at the two-cell stage for microarray analysis. Comparison of the transcriptomes of these different kinds of embryos revealed genes for which expression differs according to maternal PN strain of origin, and the α-amanitin data revealed which of these differences is due to gene transcription, as opposed to any transcription-independent differences attributable to ooplasm-derived maternal mRNA pools.

There are 4 replicates for each kind/treatment two-cell embryos (BBB, BCB, BBB+a, BCB+a).

Project description:Understanding how distinct cell types arise from common multipotent progenitor cells is a major quest in stem cell biology. This knowledge will aid in the targeted differentiation and growth of stem cells, but also in the discovery of the basis of cellular plasticity and of how tissue programming can be controlled. The liver and pancreas share many aspects of their early development, being both specified in the same region of the endoderm, and, possibly, originating from a common progenitor. However, how pancreas versus liver cell fate decision occurs during embryogenesis and the molecular basis of this cellular plasticity are poorly understood. Here, we use RNA-Seq to define the molecular identity of liver and pancreas progenitors directly in mouse embryos and to investigate the mechanisms regulating the emergence of liver or pancreas as alternative fates from the endoderm. Progenitor cell-specific RNA was obtained from mouse Prox1-EGFP-labeled embryonic cells isolated by FACS at distinct developmental stages, before and after the onset of organogenesis. By integrating the temporal and spatial gene expression profiles, we found mutually exclusive signaling signatures in hepatic and pancreatic progenitors. Importantly, we identified the non-canonical Wnt pathway as a potential developmental regulator of the pancreas versus liver fate decision, being expressed in the foregut endoderm, before the cell fate choice is made, and then maintained in pancreas progenitors but absent in hepatic progenitors. Moreover, when assayed in Xenopus embryos, the non-canonical Wnt pathway is able to promote pancreatic fate and repress hepatic fate in the endoderm, suggesting an ancient mechanism for controlling pancreas versus liver fate choice. We expect that this knowledge will be key to formulate reprogramming strategies to convert adult hepatic cells into pancreatic cells as a cell-based therapeutic approach for diabetes. We performed sequencing-based expression profiling (RNA-Seq) of hepatic and pancreatic progenitors in the mouse at two distinct developmental stages.

Project description:The first cell fate decision is the process by which cells of an embryo take on distinct lineage identities for the first time, thus representing the beginning of developmental patterning. Here, we demonstrate that the molecular chaperone heat shock protein A2 (HSPA2), a member of the 70 kDa heat shock protein (HSP70) family, is asymmetrically expressed in the late 2-cell stage of mouse embryos. The knockdown of Hspa2 in one of the two-cell blastomeres prevented its progeny predominantly toward the inner cell mass (ICM) fate, thus indicating that the differential distribution of HSPA2 in the blastomeres of two-cell embryos can influence the selection of embryonic cell lineages. In contrast, the overexpression of Hspa2 in one of the two-cell blastomeres did not induce blastomeres to differentiate towards the ICM fate. Furthermore, we demonstrated that HSPA2 forms a complex with CARM1 and activates ICM-specific gene expression. Collectively, our data identify HSPA2 as a critical regulator of the first cell fate decision which specifies the ICM via the execution of commitment and differentiation phases.

Project description:Sexual dimorphism in mammals is mostly attributable to sex-related hormonal differences in fetal and adult tissues; however, this may not be the sole determinant. Though genetically-identical for autosomal chromosomes, male and female preimplantation embryos could display sex-specific transcriptional regulation which can only be attributted to the differences in sexual chromosome dosage. We used microarrays to analyze sex-related transcriptional differences at the blastocyst stage.

Project description:Primary Eosinophilic Disorders (PED) represent a group of diseases with heterogeneous pathophysiology and diversified clinical phenotypes. Among the clonal alterations found in PED, gene fusions involving PDGFR, PDGFR, FGFR1 or JAK2 cluster in the WHO category of myeloid and lymphoid neoplasms with eosinophilia. The heterogeneous nature of genomic aberrations and the promiscuity of fusion partners, may limit the diagnostic accuracy of conventional cytogenetic approaches. To address such technical challenges, we exploited a nanopore-based sequencing platform to screen a cohort of patients referred for the characterization of a PED. We show that nanopore sequencing enables fast (within 60 hours) and precise identification of genomic fusion events, starting from whole blood DNA.

Project description:We collected over 8000 mouse embryos of each developmental stage (zygote, 2-cell, 4-cell, 8-cell, morula, blastocyst) and performed tandem mass tag (TMT)-based quantitative mass spectrometry and identified nearly 5000 proteins for each stage. In-depth analysis indicates that protein expression profiles of zygote, morula and blastocyst show apparent difference from 2- to 8-cell embryos due to the maternal-totipotent-differentiation transition. We further identified novel factors and proved that they play important roles in determining pre-implantation embryo development

Project description:In gastrulation, distinct progenitor cell populations are induced and sorted into the three germ layers ectoderm, mesoderm and endoderm. In order to identify genes involved in germ layer specification and morphogenesis, we identified genes differentially expressed between ectodermal and mesendodermal progenitor cells. To do so, we first generated highly enriched pools of ectodermal and mesendodermal progenitor cells. Mesendodermal cells were generated by over-expressing the Nodal signal Cyclops in wild type embryos and ectodermal cells were taken from mz-one-eyed-pinhead (oep) mutant embryos. We then compared the transcriptome of ectodermal versus mesendodermal cells taken from embryos at 7 hours post fertilization (hpf). In wild type embryos at this stage (70% epiboly), the first ectodermal and mesendodermal progenitor cells have already been sorted into their respective germ layers and ingression of mesendodermal progenitors is still ongoing.
