Formative transition of human naïve pluripotent stem cells

ABSTRACT: Human naïve pluripotent stem cells (PSC) share features with pre-implantation epiblast. They thus provide an unmatched opportunity for characterising the developmental programme of pluripotency in Homo sapiens. Here we confirm that naïve PSC do not respond directly to germ layer induction, but must first acquire competence. Capacitation for multi-lineage differentiation occurs without exogenous growth factor stimulation and is facilitated by inhibition of Wnt signalling. Whole transcriptome profiling during this formative transition highlights dynamic changes in gene expression, affecting many cellular properties, including metabolism and epithelialisation. Notably, naïve pluripotency factors are exchanged for post-implantation factors, but competent cells remain devoid of lineage primed transcription. The gradual pace of transition for human naïve PSC is consistent with the timespan of primate development from blastocyst to gastrulation. Transcriptome trajectory during in vitro capacitation of human naïve cells tracks the progression of epiblast during embryogenesis in Macaca fascicularis, but shows greater divergence from mouse development. Thus the formative transition of naïve PSC in a simple culture system may recapitulate essential and specific features of pluripotency dynamics during an inaccessible period of human embryogenesis.

Cooperative genetic networks drive embryonic stem cell transition from naïve to formative pluripotency

Project description:In the mammalian embryo, epiblast cells must exit the naïve state and acquire formative pluripotency. This cell state transition is recapitulated by mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs), which undergo pluripotency progression in defined conditions in vitro. However, our understanding of the molecular cascades and gene networks involved in the exit from naïve pluripotency remains fragmentary. Here, we employed a combination of genetic screens in haploid ESCs, CRISPR/Cas9 gene disruption, large-scale transcriptomics and computational systems biology to delineate the regulatory circuits governing naïve state exit. Transcriptome profiles for 73 ESC lines deficient for regulators of the exit from naïve pluripotency predominantly manifest delays on the trajectory from naïve to formative epiblast. We find that gene networks operative in ESCs are also active during transition from pre- to post-implantation epiblast in utero. We identified 496 naïve state-associated genes tightly connected to the in vivo epiblast state transition and largely conserved in primate embryos. Integrated analysis of mutant transcriptomes revealed funnelling of multiple gene activities into discrete regulatory modules. Finally, we delineate how intersections with signalling pathways direct this pivotal mammalian cell state transition.

Capture of mouse and human stem cells with features of formative pluripotency [mouse, RNA-Seq 1]

Project description:Pluripotent cells emerge as a naïve founder population in the blastocyst, acquire capacity for germline and soma formation, and then undergo lineage priming. Mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells and epiblast stem cells (EpiSCs) respectively represent the initial naïve and final primed phases of pluripotency. Here we investigated the intermediate formative stage. Using minimal exposure to specification cues, we derived stem cells from formative mouse epiblast. Unlike ES cells or EpiSCs, formative stem (FS) cells responded directly to germ cell induction. They colonised somatic tissues and germline in chimaeras. Whole transcriptome analyses showed similarity to pre-gastrulation formative epiblast. Signal responsiveness and chromatin accessibility features reflect lineage capacitation. Furthermore, FS cells showed distinct transcription factor dependencies, relying critically on Otx2. Finally, FS cell culture conditions applied to human naïve cells or embryos supported expansion of similar stem cells, consistent with a conserved staging post on the trajectory of mammalian pluripotency.

FoxO transcription factors actuate the formative pluripotency specific gene expression programme [ChIP-Seq]

Project description:Naïve pluripotency is sustained by a self-reinforcing gene regulatory network (GRN) comprising core and naïve pluripotency-specific transcription factors (TFs). Upon exiting naïve pluripotency, ES cells transition through a formative post-implantation-like pluripotent state. However, the mechanisms underlying disengagement from the naïve GRN and initiation of the formative GRN remain unclear. Here, we demonstrate that phosphorylated AKT acts as a gatekeeper that prevents nuclear localization of FoxO TFs in naïve ESCs. PTEN-mediated reduction of AKT activity allows nuclear entry by FoxO TFs, enforcing a cell fate transition by binding and activating formative pluripotency-specific enhancers. Indeed, FoxO TFs are necessary and sufficient for transition from the naïve to the formative pluripotent state. Our work uncovers a pivotal role for FoxO TFs and AKT signalling in mechanisms underlying the exit from naïve pluripotency, a critical early embryonic cell fate transition.

Cnot8 Eliminates Naïve Regulation Networks and Is Essential for Naïve-to-Formative Pluripotency Transition [scRNA-Seq]

Project description:The transition of mammalian early epiblast at different phases is characterized by the differences of pluripotent states and developmental potential, involving extensive transcriptome changes. However, the role of post-transcriptional RNA degradation modulation in cell fate transition remains largely unexplored. Here, we report that deadenylase Cnot8 of Ccr4-Not complex specifically plays a role in naïve-to-formative transition of pluripotent stem cells (PSCs). Disruption of Cnot8 results in early embryonic lethality, accompanying with the increased expression levels of naïve transcription factors in mouse epiblasts. Cnot8 depletion leads to accumulated expression abundances and increased poly(A) tail lengths of massive transcripts including mRNAs of naïve regulation networks, impairing the naïve-to-formative pluripotency conversion. Mechanistically, Cnot8 interacts with Tob1 and Pabpc1 to guarantee the prompt mRNA deadenylation and degradation of naïve regulation networks at specific time. Together, these findings delineate the mechanism underlying PSC fate transition through global degradation of mRNAs for naïve regulation networks by Cnot8.
