Project description:Multipotent trophoblasts undergo dynamic morphological movement and cellular differentiation after conceptus implantation to generate placenta. However, the mechanism controlling trophoblast development and differentiation during peri-implantation development in human remains elusive. In this study, we modeled human conceptus peri-implantation development from blastocyst to early postimplantation stages by using an in vitro coculture system and profiled the transcriptome of 476 individual trophoblast cells from these conceptuses. We revealed the genetic networks regulating peri-implantation trophoblast development. While determining when trophoblast differentiation happens, our bioinformatic analysis identified T-box transcription factor 3 (TBX3) as a key regulator for the differentiation of cytotrophoblast (CT) into syncytiotrophoblast (ST). The function of TBX3 in trophoblast differentiation is then validated by a loss-of-function experiment. In conclusion, our results provided a valuable resource to study the regulation of trophoblasts development and differentiation during human peri-implantation development.

Project description:We performed single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) analysis of human post-implantation trophoblast cells. A hierarchical model was established, which was characterized by the sequential and stepwise development of two primitive cytotrophoblast cell (pCTB) subtypes after the trophectoderm (TE), two primitive syncytiotrophoblast (pSTB) subtypes, and migrative trophoblast cells (MTB). Further analysis characterized a new subtype of fusion-competent cells, which not only prepare for fusion to form primitive syncytiotrophoblast but also possess migration ability, which could be dual-function cells during implantation. Our work allows for reconstruction of sequential trophoblast cell transcriptional programs transition during implantation and provides a valuable resource to study pathologies in early pregnancy, such as recurrent implantation failure.

Project description:Comprehensive quantitative proteomic study of human pre-implantation embryo stages reveal dynamic proteome landscape from M2, 8-cell and blastocyst stage, and during trophoblast stem cell (TS) differentiation. Identified key factors in early human embryos and lineage-specific trophoblast proteome profiles, correlated with transcriptomic analyses. This direct proteomic analysis provides a comprehensive analysis of the dynamic protein expression in human embryos during pre-implantation development and a powerful resource to enable further mechanistic studies on human trophoblast development and function.

Project description:The mechanisms controlling trophoblast proliferation and differentiation during embryo implantation are fundamentally important in defining a successful pregnancy, yet poorly understood. Human trophoblast stem cells (TSC) and BMP4/A83-01/PD17034-treated pluripotent stem cell derived trophoblast cells (BAP) are two widely employed, contemporary models to study trophoblast development and function but how faithfully they mimic the identity of early stage trophoblast cells has not been fully examined. Here, we evaluate the transcriptomic profiles of trophoblast cells from these two widely used cell models and directly compare them with trophoblast cells from peri-implantation stage human embryos during extended embryo culture (EEC) between embryonic d 8 to d 12. Cells from BAP and TSC models all grouped closely with trophoblast cells from EEC, with the trophoblast sublineages, including cytotrophoblast (CTB), syncytiotrophoblast (STB), and extravillous-like migratory trophoblast (MTB), clustered together following dimensional analysis and unsupervised hierarchical clustering. However, subtle differences amongst models exist for each trophoblast sublineages. TSC-CTB is more similar to EEC-CTB from d 8 embryos with transcripts associated with increased Wnt signaling activities important for trophoblast stemness. BAP-CTB are more similar to EEC-CTB from d 10 and 12 embryos and upregulate transcripts important for trophoblast differentiation and invasion. For STB, EEC-STB showed enriched GO terms related to oxygen-dependent metabolism, while BAP and TSC-derived STB both prioritize lipid and membrane synthesis as well as actin reorganization and cell spreading. EEC-MTB transcripts indicate an increased level of invasiveness and motility compared to TSC-MTB with increased proliferative capacity. We also provide a pool of novel lineage markers in early trophoblast that were upregulated (>4-fold) across all three models and validate the presence of 11 proteins prominent in peri-implantation human embryos. Together, our comprehensive analysis revealed that both commonly used BAP and TSC models resemble features of peri-implantation trophoblasts, while still maintaining subtle transcriptomic differences in sublineages.

Project description:Supporting healthy pregnancy outcomes requires a comprehensive understanding of the cellular hierarchy and underlying molecular mechanisms during peri-implantation development. Here, we presented a single-cell transcriptome-wide view of the bovine peri-implantation embryo development at day 12, 14, 16 and 18, when most of the pregnancy failure occurs. We defined the development and dynamic progression of cellular composition and gene expression of embryonic disc, hypoblast, and trophoblast lineages during bovine peri-implantation development. Notably, the comprehensive transcriptomic mapping of trophoblast development revealed a previous unrecognized primitive trophoblast cell lineage that are responsible for pregnancy maintenance in bovine prior to the time when binucleate cell emerges. We analyzed novel markers for the cell lineage development during bovine early development. We also identified cell-cell communication signaling underling embryonic and extraembryonic cells interact to ensure proper early development in bovine. Collectively, our work provides foundational information to discover essential biological pathways underpinning bovine peri-implantation development and the molecular causes of the early pregnancy failure during this critical period.

Project description:Recently, microRNAs (miRNAs) have emerged as new players in the fine tuning of embryo development and implantation in mammals via posttranscriptional gene regulation mechanisms. Applying custom made multispecies arrays we aimed to analyze expression profile of microRNAs in peri-implantation porcine conceptuses/trophoblasts to identify their potential role at the maternal-fetal interface during the critical period of maternal recognition of pregnancy and implantation. miRNA expression profiles were analyzed in samples collected from embryos or trophoblast on Days 10, 11, 12, 16 and 20 of pregnancy. Each group was represented by five to nine samples.

Project description:Single cell RNA sequencing of cells from cultured human blastocysts has enabled us to define the transcriptomic landscape of placental trophoblast (TB) that surrounds the epiblast and associated embryonic tissues during the enigmatic day (D) 8 to D12 peri-implantation period before the villous placenta forms. We analyzed the transcriptomes of three early placental cell types, cytoTB (CTB), syncytioTB (STB) and migratoryTB (MTB) picked manually from cultured embryos dissociated with trypsin and were able to follow sub-lineages that emerged from proliferating CTB at the periphery of the conceptus. A unique form of CTB with some features of STB was detectable at D8, while mature STB was at its zenith at D10. A form of MTB with a mixed MTB/CTB phenotype arose around D10. By D12, STB generation was in decline, CTB had entered a new phase of proliferation, and mature MTB cells had begun to move from the main body of the conceptus. Notably, the MTB transcriptome at D12 indicated enrichment of transcripts associated with interferon signaling, migration and invasion, and upregulation of HLA-C, HLA-E, and HLA-G. The STB, which is distinct from the STB of later villous STB, had a phenotype consistent with intense protein export and placental hormone production, as well as migration and invasion. The studies show that TB associated with human embryos is in rapid developmental flux during peri-implantation period when it must invade, signal robustly to the mother to ensure that the pregnancy continues, and make first contact with the maternal immune system.
