Zfp281 shapes the transcriptome of trophoblast stem cells and is essential for placental development

ABSTRACT: Placental development is a key event in mammalian reproduction and embryogenesis. However, the molecular basis underlying extraembryonic lineage specification and subsequent placental development is not fully understood. Through a genetic screen, we identified Zfp281 as a key factor for extraembryonic development. Disruption of Zfp281 in mice caused severe defects in extraembryonic as well as embryonic tissues. Importantly, Zfp281 was preferentially expressed in the trophoblast stem cell population in an FGF-dependent manner and ensured the expression of genes necessary for placental development. Through the analysis of transcriptome and epigenome, we identified Zfp281 as an important factor to shape the transcriptome of mammalian trophoblast stem cells.

Zfp281 functions as a barrier in embryonic stem cells to extraembryonic endoderm stem cells differentiation [ChIP-seq]

Project description:Cell-fate decisions and lineage commitment in early embryonic development are governed by comprehensive gene-regulatory programs. However, the molecular details leading to initial segregation of different lineages remain unclear. In the second cell-fate decision, epiblast (EPI) and primitive endoderm (PrE) lineages are formed from the pluripotent inner cell mass (ICM) cells at blastocyst stage. Here, we demonstrated that the pluripotency transcription factor Zfp281 is a barrier in embryonic stem cells (ESCs) to PrE lineage differentiation. Zfp281 is expressed in extraembryonic endoderm cells (XENs), the ex vivo derivatives of PrE. But knockdown of Zfp281 doesn’t affect either maintenance or expression of the PrE master regulators in XENs. Using an in vitro differentiation protocol, we revealed that knockout of Zfp281 significantly increased the efficiency of ESC to XEN derivation. Using a Zfp281 rescue line for the knockout cells, we further confirmed that effects of elevated efficiency of XEN derivation is specifically due to loss of Zfp281. Mechanistically, we revealed that Zfp281 interacts with components in the polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2), and recruits PRC2 to promoters of PrE master regulators GATA4 and GATA6 for transcriptional and epigenetic repression. Taken together, our results demonstrated a novel role of Zfp281 in second cell-fate decision in embryonic stem cell differentiation.

Zfp281 Coordinates Opposite Functions of Tet1 and Tet2 for Alternative Pluripotent States [RNA-Seq]

Project description:Pluripotent cell identity comprises a spectrum of cell states including naive and primed states, which are typified by mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and epiblast-derived stem cells (EpiSCs), respectively. Here we define a pluripotent cell fate (PCF) gene signature based on RNA-seq analysis associated with naive and primed pluripotency acquisition, and identify Zfp281 as a key transcriptional regulator for primed pluripotency and also as a barrier to achieve the naive pluripotency of both mouse and human ESCs. RNA sequencing analysis was performed in WT and Zfp281 null mouse embryonic stem cells under different pluripotent culture conditions. RNA-seq Experiments were carry out in two biological replciates. Genome binding/occupancy profiling of Zfp281 was performed in mouse embryonic stem cells by ChIP sequencing.

ZFP281-BRCA2 prevents R-loop accumulation during DNA replication

Project description:R-loops are prevalent in mammalian genomes and involved in many fundamental cellular processes. Depletion of BRCA2 leads to aberrant R-loop accumulation, contributing to genome instability. Here, we show that ZFP281 cooperates with BRCA2 in preventing R-loop accumulation to facilitate DNA replication in embryonic stem cells. Mechanistically, we demonstrate that ZFP281 can interact with BRCA2, and that BRCA2 is enriched at G/C-rich promoters and requires both ZFP281 and PRC2 for its proper recruitment to the bivalent chromatin at the genome-wide scale. Furthermore, depletion of ZFP281 or BRCA2 leads to accumulation of R-loops over the bivalent regions, and compromises activation of the developmental genes by retinoic acid during stem cell differentiation. In summary, our results reveal that ZFP281 recruits BRCA2 to the bivalent chromatin regions to ensure proper progression of DNA replication through preventing persistent R-loops.

Transcription factor Zfp281 sustains CD4+ T lymphocyte activation by directly repressing Ctla-4 transcription

Project description:Expression of co-inhibitory receptors, such as CTLA-4, on effector T cells is a key mechanism for the negative regulation of T cell activation. However, how CTLA-4 is transcriptionally regulated is not well understood. Zfp281, a C2H2 zinc finger protein, is a negative regulator of maintaining pluripotency for embryonic stem cells. Nevertheless, its function in differentiated cells has not been studied. We generated Zfp281 conditional knockout mice in which the function of Zfp281 gene was conditionally disrupted by Cd4Cre transgene to study its impact on T cell function. Zfp281 was dispensable for T cell development, but CD4+ T cell activation and cytokine production were impaired due to diminished T cell receptor signaling. Furthermore, Zfp281 deficiency inhibited in vivo T cell responses to Listeria monocytogenes infection. Using genome-wide expression profiling assays, we determined that Zfp281 repressed Ctla-4 expression by directly binding GC-rich sites of its promoter, which inhibited the negative feedback of T cell activation. In line with this, CTLA-4 blockade and shRNA knock down can partly rescue the reduced cytokine production caused by Zfp281 deficiency. These findings identify that Zfp281 sustains CD4+ T lymphocyte activation by directly repressing Ctla-4 transcription.

Zfp281 Functions as a Transcriptional Repressor for Pluripotency of Mouse Embryonic Stem Cells

Project description:Zfp281 is a partner protein of Nanog. To identify potential target genes of Zfp281, we generated Zfp281 null ESCs using gene targeting, and compared transcriptomic changes between multiple lines of wildtype, heterozygous and null ESCs. Total 8 ESC lines: 3 wildtype lines, 2 heterozygous lines, and 3 null lines.

CRISPR screening in human trophoblast stem cells reveals both shared and distinct aspects of human and mouse placental development [RNA-seq]

Project description:The placenta serves as the interface between the mother and fetus, facilitating the exchange of gases and nutrients between their separate blood circulation systems. Trophoblasts in the placenta play a central role in this process. Our current understanding of mammalian trophoblast development relies largely on mouse models. However, given the diversification of mammalian placentas, findings from the mouse placenta cannot be readily extrapolated to other mammalian species, including humans. To fill this knowledge gap, we performed CRISPR knockout (KO) screening in human trophoblast stem cells (hTSCs). We targeted genes essential for mouse placental development and identified more than 100 genes as critical regulators in both human hTSCs and mouse placentas. Among them, we further characterized in detail two transcription factors, DLX3 and GCM1, and revealed their essential roles in hTSC differentiation. Moreover, a gene function-based comparison between human and mouse trophoblast subtypes suggests that their relationship may differ significantly from previous assumptions based on tissue localization or cellular function. Notably, our data reveal that hTSCs may not be analogous to mouse TSCs or the extraembryonic ectoderm (ExE) in which in vivo TSCs reside. Instead, hTSCs may be analogous to progenitor cells in the mouse ectoplacental cone and chorion. This finding is consistent with the absence of ExE-like structures during human placental development. Our data not only deepen our understanding of human trophoblast development but also facilitate cross-species comparison of mammalian placentas.
