Inferring dynamic regulatory programs in non-stationary expression time courses with applications to early human neural development

ABSTRACT: We generated RNA-seq data to measure transcriptional profiles of twenty hPSC-derived NSC populations, representing distinct regions of the developing human hindbrain and rostral cervical spinal cord. These cells are differentiated using a protocol that induces collinear activation of region-specific HOX genes during exposure to FGF8 and Wnt signaling (Lippmann et al, 2015 PMID:25843047). By transitioning to media containing retinoic acid after varying durations of Wnt signaling, NSCs are generated with unique rostrocaudal identities that uniformly express the neuroectodermal marker Pax6 and form N-cadherin+ rosette structures in vitro.

Single cell transcriptome of regional human embryonic stem cell-derived ventral cultures from the spinal cord

Project description:We generated single RNA-seq data to measure transcriptional profiles of six hESC-derived ventral populations, representing distinct regions of the developing human spinal cord. These cells are differentiated using a protocol that induces collinear activation of region-specific HOX genes during exposure to FGF8 and Wnt signaling (Lippmann et al, 2015 PMID:25843047). By transitioning to media containing retinoic acid, smoothened agonist (SAG), Purmorphamine (Pur), and DAPT after varying durations of Wnt signaling, ventral neuronal cultures are generated with unique rostrocaudal identities. In total we recovered the transcriptomes of 12,540 cells. Analysis verified expression of increasingly caudal HOX paralogs that could be correlated to cervical (HOX1-8; H24-vN, H48-vN, and H72-vN), thoracic (HOX1-9; H120-vN), lumbar (HOX1-11; H168-vN), and lumbosacral (HOX1-13; H216-vN) spinal regions. However, inconsistent differentiation between samples resulted in a mix of neural progenitor, neuron, mesodermal, and neural crest derivatives.

Single cell transcriptome of regional human embryonic stem cell-derived dorsal and ventral neurons from the hindbrain and spinal cord

Project description:We generated single RNA-seq data to measure transcriptional profiles of 14 hESC-derived neuronal populations, representing distinct regions along the dorsoventral and rostrocaudal axes of the developing hindbrain and human spinal cord. These cells are differentiated using a modular protocol that first induces collinear activation of region-specific HOX genes by exposure to FGF8 and Wnt signaling (Lippmann et al, 2015 PMID:25843047). By transitioning to media containing retinoic acid (RA), SB-431542, and LDN-193189, we generate dedicated posterior central nervous system progenitors with unique rostrocaudal identities. Dorsal patterning by BMP4 or ventral patterning by Sonic hedgehog agonists (smoothened agonist (SAG) and Purmorphamine (Pur)), followed by DAPT gave rise to somatosensory or locomotor neuronal cultures. In total we recovered the transcriptomes of 46,959 cells. Analysis verified expression of increasingly caudal HOX paralogs that could be correlated to hindbrain (HOX1-5; H24, H48, and H72), cervical (HOX1-8; H72 and H120), thoracic (HOX1-9; H168), and thoracolumbar (HOX1-11; H216 and H216R) spinal regions. The dataset also includes representation from major cardinal neuron types. Comparison with existing mouse and human datasets revealed the overall similarity between in vitro-derived and in vivo neurons. Moreover, we detect hundreds of transcriptional markers within region-specific neuronal phenotypes, enabling discovery of novel gene expression patterns along the human developmental axes.

Generation and characterisation of pre-neural progenitors and neural crest from human embryonic stem cells.

Project description:The spinal cord emerges from a niche of neuromesodermal progenitors (NMPs) formed and maintained by Wnt/FGF signals in the posterior end of the embryo. NMP-like cells can be generated from human pluripotent stem cells providing a promising source for spinal cord replacement therapies. However, these progenitors are often transient and unable to produce the full range of rostrocaudal spinal cord identities in vitro. Here we report the generation of NMP-derived pre-neural progenitors (PNPs). These PNPs maintain pre-spinal cord identity by co-expressing the transcription factors SOX2 and CDX2, while losing the mesodermal potential of NMPs by downregulating TBXT. They gradually adopt more posterior identity by activating collinear HOX gene expression, and in parallel undergo an epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition to give rise to neural crest (NC) cells with corresponding rostrocaudal identity.

Rostrocaudal Areal Patterning of Human PSC-Derived Cortical Neurons by FGF8 Signaling

Project description:The cerebral cortex is subdivided into distinct areas that have particular functions. The rostrocaudal (R-C) gradient of fibroblast growth factor 8 (FGF8) signaling defines this areal identity during neural development. In this study, we recapitulated cortical R-C patterning in human pluripotent stem cell (PSC) cultures. Modulation of FGF8 signaling appropriately regulated the R-C markers, and the patterns of global gene expression resembled those of the corresponding areas of in vivo human fetal brains. Furthermore, we demonstrated the utility of this culture system in modeling the area-specific forebrain phenotypes (presumptive upper motor neuron (UMN) phenotypes) of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). We anticipate that our culture system will contribute to studies of human neurodevelopment and neurological disease modeling.

Self-patterning of rostral-caudal neuroectoderm requires dual role of Fgf signaling for localized Wnt antagonism

Project description:The neuroectoderm is patterned along a rostral-caudal axis in response to localized factors in the embryo, but exactly how these factors act as positional information for this patterning is not yet fully understood. Here, using the self-organizing properties of mouse embryonic stem cell (ESC), we report that ESC-derived neuroectoderm self-generates a Six3+ rostral and a Irx3+ caudal bipolarized patterning. In this instance, localized Fgf signaling performs dual roles, as it regulates Six3+ rostral polarization at an earlier stage and promotes Wnt signaling at a later stage. The Wnt signaling components are differentially expressed in the polarized tissues, leading to genome-wide Irx3+ caudal-polarization signals. Surprisingly, differentially expressed Wnt agonists and antagonists have essential roles in orchestrating the formation of a balanced rostral-caudal neuroectoderm pattern. Together, our findings provide key processes for dynamic self-patterning and evidence that a temporally and locally regulated interaction between Fgf and Wnt signaling controls self-patterning in ESC-derived neuroectoderm.

Analysis of the Effect of Fibulin-1 on Fibroblast Growth Factor 8 Signaling

Project description:We have previously shown that human fibulin-1 (FBLN1) is a binding partner of fibroblast growth factor 8 (FGF8) and affects its expression and signaling. Herein, we investigate the mechanisms by which FBLN1 affects FGF8 signaling. Fibulin-1 (Fbln1) -deficiency in mouse embryo fibroblasts (MEF) caused downregulation of Fgf8 as well as fibroblast growth factor receptors (Fgfr) 1 and 3 and several downstream genes in the Fgf8 pathway, including Six1, Eya1 and Barx1. The Fgf8-regulated putative DiGeorge syndrome gene, Tbx1, was also significantly downregulated. Fbln1-deficiency in MEFs caused upregulation of Sonic hedgehog (Shh), an established upstream regulator of Fgf8. Surprisingly, this was accompanied by downregulation of several Shh signaling pathway targets, including patched1, smoothened, Gli1 and Gli3. Analysis of Fbln1-null embryonic hindbrain and arch regions showed that Shh was upregulated in the 2nd arch but downregulated in arches 1, 3 and 4. A broader transcriptomic analysis of mouse hindbrain and arches confirmed that Fbln1 deficiency caused changes in the mitogen activated protein kinase (Mapk) and Wnt signaling pathways. Biochemical tests showed that Fbln1 binds to Shh and that its absence blocks secretion of Shh by MEFs. Based on these results, Fbln1 affects Fgf8 signaling by influencing expression of Shh and its downstream targets, including Mapk and Wnt signaling pathways. This affect may involve direct interaction of Fbln1 with Shh in a manner facilitating the production of secreted Shh.

Gene expression patterns in developing intestinal organoids exposed to prolonged FGF4- and Wnt-signaling

Project description:Based on the ability of FGF and/or WNT signaling to control posterior fate and intestinal lineage commitment, several groups have reported that treating mouse or human Pluripotent Stem Cell (PSC) derived definitive endoderm (DE) with small molecules or ligands that activate WNT signaling, or a combination of WNT and FGF signaling can induce an intestinal fate in human DE. In this current study, we leverage hESC derived human intestinal organoids (HIOs) to test the hypothesis that the duration of exposure to high levels of FGF and WNT signaling controls regional intestinal identity, with shorter durations generating intestine similar to the proximal duodenum, and longer durations distalizing HIOs to become similar to jejunum/ileum. Our results demonstrate that exposing human definitive endoderm (DE) cultures to short or long incubations of media that activate WNT and FGF siganling results in gene and protein expression profiles that are consistent with tissue that has been patterned into proximal (duodenum) or distal (ileum) small intestine, respectively.
