The chemically-defined induction of a primitive endoderm and epiblast-like niche supports post-implantation progression from blastoids.

ABSTRACT: The early mammalian conceptus (blastocyst) contains two supporting extraembryonic tissues - the trophectoderm and the primitive endoderm (PrE) - that encase and guide the epiblast (Epi) to eventually form the all body. Modifications of the conceptus exposed key genes regulating these tissues co-development. However, the combination of signalling pathways at play remains elusive. Stem cell-based models including embryoid bodies and blastoids can be generated in large numbers and subjected to high-content screens. Here, we use combinatorial screens of proteins, GPCR ligands and small molecules to rapidly (<96 hours) and efficiently (80%) guide embryoid bodies to form a three dimensional PrE-/Epiblast-like niche in chemically-defined conditions (gel-free, serum-free). This bipotent niche spontaneously progresses, without growth factors, to form a pro-amniotic cavity surrounded by a polarized Epi covered by parietal and visceral endoderm-like cells. In blastoids, these molecules enhance the ratio and number of Gata6+/Nanog+ cells and promote the survival, expansion and morphogenesis of a post-implantation-like Epi in vitro. Altogether, modelling early development in chemically-defined conditions delineates the pathways sufficient to form a functional PrE/Epiblast niche that fuels post-implantation development.

Cell-to-cell gene expression variability followed by reinforcement progressively segregates lineages in the early mouse embryo

Project description:Mammalian embryonic development begins with the specification and segregation of the two extra-embryonic lineages, trophectoderm and primitive endoderm, from the pluripotent embryonic lineage, the epiblast. To establish a map of epiblast (EPI) versus primitive endoderm (PrE) lineage segregation which occurs within the inner cell mass (ICM), we comprehensively characterised the gene expression profiles of individual inner cells during blastocyst development. Lineage represents the two embryonic cell lineages: the epiblast (EPI), and the primitive endoderm (PE), which are segregated within the inner cell mass(ICM) during blastocyst development.

Human blastoids model blastocyst development and implantation [Bulk RNA-seq]

Project description:Shortly after fertilization, human embryos implant into the uterus. This requires the formation of a blastocyst consisting of a sphere encircling a cavity lodging the embryo proper. Appropriate stem cells can form a blastocyst model, which we termed blastoid. Here we show that naive human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) triply inhibited for the Hippo, TGF-β, and ERK pathways consistently and efficiently (>70%) form blastoids that generate transcriptional pre-implantation analogs of the three founding lineages (trophoblast, epiblast, primitive endoderm; >97%) according to the sequence and pace of blastocyst development. Blastoids spontaneously form an axis marked by the maturation of the polar region, which acquires the potential to specifically attach to hormonally stimulated endometrial cells, as during in utero implantation. Such human blastoids are scalable, versatile, and ethical models to explore human implantation and development.

Human blastoids model blastocyst development and implantation

Project description:About one week after fertilization, human embryos implant into the uterus. This necessitates the formation of a blastocyst consisting of a sphere encircling a cavity lodging the embryo proper. Stem cells can form a blastocyst model, which we termed blastoid. Here we show that naive human pluripotent stem cells (PXGL hPSCs) efficiently (>70%) form blastoids generating blastocyst-stage analogs of the 3 founding lineages (>97% trophectoderm, epiblast, and primitive endoderm) according to the sequence and to the pace of blastocyst development. Blastoids form the first axis and we observe that the epiblast induces the maturation of the polar trophectoderm that consequently acquires the specific and transient potential to attach to hormonally-stimulated endometrial cells. Such human blastoids are faithful, scalable, versatile, and ethical models to explore human implantation and development.

Primitive endoderm stem cell lines in mice

Project description:A blastocyst consists of three distinctive cell types: epiblast (EPI), trophoblast (TB), and primitive endoderm (PrE). Stem cell lines representing EPI and TB (embryonic stem (ES) cells and trophoblast stem (TS) cells) have been derived and they contribute to epiblast derivatives and trophoblast derivatives of stem cell-blastocyst chimeras, respectively. Although derived from PrE, extraembryonic endoderm (XEN) cells contribute to only a limited part of parietal endoderm (PE) but rarely to other PrE derivatives. Here we describe the establishment of primitive endoderm stem (PrES) cell lines in mice. PrES cells were derived and maintained in a serum-free media containing CHIR99021, FGF4, heparin, and PDGF-AA. RNA-seq analysis revealed that the transcriptome of PrES cells is globaly different from XEN cells: PrES cells express not only endoderm markers (Dab2, Gata4, Gata6, Sox17, etc.), but also pluripotent markers (Pou5f1, Cdh1, Nanog, Zfp42, etc.), and resembles in vivo founder PrE. PrES cells were rapidly and efficiently incorporated into PrE after blastocyst injection and efficiently contributed to all PrE derivatives, including PE, VE (visceral endoderm), and MZE (marginal zone endoderm) in chimeras. Importantly, PrES cells rescued embryonic lethality of PrE-depleted blastocysts by complementing all PrE derivatives. PrES cells thus not only contribute to understanding of the mechanisms of PrE specification but also provide a critical resource for artificial embryo reconstitution by stem cells alone.

Single-cell analysis of bidirectional reprogramming between early embryonic states reveals mechanisms of differential lineage plasticities [ATAC-Seq]

Project description:Two distinct fates, pluripotent epiblast (EPI) and primitive (extra-embryonic) endoderm (PrE), arise from common progenitor cells, the inner cell mass (ICM), in mammalian embryos. To study how these sister identities are forged, we leveraged embryonic (ES) and eXtraembryonic ENdoderm (XEN) stem cells – in vitro counterparts of the EPI and PrE. Bidirectional reprogramming between ES and XEN coupled with single-cell RNA and ATAC-seq analyses uncovered distinct rates, efficiencies and trajectories of state conversions, identifying drivers and roadblocks of reciprocal conversions. While GATA4-mediated ES-to-iXEN conversion was rapid and nearly deterministic, OCT4, KLF4 and SOX2-induced XEN-to-iPS reprogramming progressed with diminished efficiency and kinetics. The dominant PrE transcriptional program, safeguarded by Gata4, and globally elevated chromatin accessibility of EPI underscored the differential plasticities of the two states. Mapping in vitro trajectories to embryos revealed reprogramming in either direction tracked along, and toggled between, EPI and PrE in vivo states without transitioning through the ICM.
