Dynamics of chromatin marks and the role of EZH2/JMJD3/P300 during hepatoblast differentiation

ABSTRACT: Bi-potential hepatoblasts give rise to hepatocytes with the default fate choice, while undergo a regulatory fate transition to cholangiocytes. We aimed to understand how the “default” vs “regulatory” cell fate differentiations were modulated at the chromatin level. We performed chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing (ChIP-seq) of hepatobiliary lineages to profile promoter and enhancer associated histone modifications H3K4me3, H3K27me3, H3K27ac and H3K4me1. We also performed in vivo gene manipulation and ex vivo intervention of related histone modifiers were performed to validate their roles in hepatoblast differentiation. We discovered that removal of H3K27me3 from bivalency on promoters was associated with activation of genes related to hepatoblast-cholangiocyte fate transition. In vivo gene manipulation and ex vivo intervention with H3K27me3-modifying enzymes demonstrated that Ezh2 and Jmjd3 specifically regulated hepatoblast-cholangiocyte cell fate transition. In addition, establishments of active and primed enhancers were associated with the developmental processes of both hepatocytes and cholangiocytes, and knockout of P300 inhibited these lineages development.

A single-cell transcriptomic analysis reveals precise pathways and regulatory mechanisms underlying hepatoblast differentiation

Project description:How the bi-potential hepatoblasts differentiate into hepatocytes and cholangiocytes remains unclear. Here, using single-cell transcriptomic analysis of hepatoblasts, hepatocytes, and cholangiocytes sorted from E10.5 to E17.5 mouse embryos, we found that hepatoblast-to-hepatocyte differentiation occurred gradually followed a linear default pathway. As more cells became fully differentiated hepatocytes, the number of proliferating cells decreased. Surprisingly, the proliferating and quiescent hepatoblasts exhibited homogeneous differentiation states at a given developmental stage. This unique feature enabled us to combine the single-cell and bulk-cell analyses to define the precise timing of the hepatoblast-to-hepatocyte transition, which occurs between E13.5 and E15.5. In contrast to hepatocyte development at almost all levels, hepatoblast-to-cholangiocyte differentiation underwent a sharp detour from the default pathway. New cholangiocyte generation occurred continuously between E11.5 and E14.5, but their maturation states at a given developmental stage were heterogeneous. Even more surprising, the number of proliferating cells increased as more progenitor cells differentiated into mature cholangiocytes. Based on an observation from the single-cell analysis, we also discovered that the protein kinase C (PKC)/mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathway promoted cholangiocyte maturation. CONCLUSIONS: Our studies have defined distinct pathways for hepatocyte and cholangiocyte development in vivo, which are critically important for understanding basic liver biology and developing effective strategies to induce stem cells to differentiate towards specific hepatic cell fates in vitro.

Lgr5+ stem and progenitor cells reside at the apex of a heterogeneous embryonic hepatoblast pool

Project description:During mouse embryogenesis, progenitors within the liver known as hepatoblasts give rise to adult hepatocytes and cholangiocytes. Hepatoblasts, which are specified at E8.5-E9.0, have been regarded as a homogeneous progenitor population that initiate differentiation from E13.5. Recently, scRNA-seq analysis has identified sub- populations of transcriptionally distinct hepatoblasts at E11.5. Here, we show that hepatoblasts are not only transcriptionally but also functionally heterogeneous, and that a subpopulation of E9.5-E10.0 hepatoblasts exhibit a previously unidentified early commitment to cholangiocyte fate. Importantly, we also identify a sub-population constituting 2% of E9.5-E10.0 hepatoblasts that express the adult stem cell marker Lgr5, and generate both hepatocyte and cholangiocyte progeny that persist for the lifespan of the mouse. Combining lineage tracing and scRNA-seq, we show that Lgr5 marks E9.5-E10.0 bipotent liver progenitors residing at the apex of a hepatoblast hierarchy. Notably, isolated Lgr5+ hepatoblasts can be clonally expanded in vitro into embryonic liver organoids, which can commit to either hepatocyte or cholangiocyte fates. Our study demonstrates functional heterogeneity within E9.5 hepatoblasts and identifies Lgr5 as a marker for a sub-population of bipotent liver progenitors.

Direct conversion of mouse fibroblasts into cholangiocyte progenitor cells

Project description:We describe that Hnf1α and Foxa3 dramatically facilitate the robust generation of iHepSCs. Notably, the prolonged in vitro culture of Hnf1α and Foxa3 derived iHepSCs induce Notch signaling-mediated secondary conversion into cholangiocyte progenitor-like cells displaying the dramatically enhanced differentiation capacity into the mature cholangiocytes in vitro and in vivo. Our study provides the novel two-step approach for obtaining cholangiocyte progenitor-like cells using defined factors.

Comparison of extrahepatic cholangiocyte organoids and freshly isolated common bile duct cholangiocytes

Project description:Despite the impact of bile duct disorders, treatment options remain very limited. Poor access to biliary tissue and restrictions in long-term culture or significant expansion of primary cholangiocytes have posed major challenges for research in the field. These limitations have so far precluded large scale experiments such as transcriptomic and genome-wide analyses which are urgently needed to better understand biliary physiology and pathophysiology. To address this issue, we have developed a novel system for the isolation and propagation of primary cholangiocytes from the extrahepatic bile ducts. The resulting Extrahepatic Cholangiocyte Organoids (ECOs) maintain their genetic stability, transcriptomic profile and function over long term culture and are compatible with regenerative medicine applications such as biliary reconstruction. We established a novel protocol for the isolation and propagation of primary cholangiocytes from the extrahepatic biliary tree in the form of extrahepatic cholangiocyte organoids (ECOs). The aim of this experiment was to provide in depth characterisation of the transcriptome of ECOs during long term culture. We compare the transcriptome of ECOs cultured for 1 passage (P1), 10 passages (P10) and 20 passages (P20) with freshly isolated primary cholangiocytes from the common bile duct. Embryonic Stem Cells (ES) cells are used as a negative control=

Transcription profiling of undifferentiated human liver-derived intrahepatic cholangiocyte organoids (ICOs)

Project description:3D cell culture systems (organoids), cultured from liver biopsies, resemble biliary epthelium (cholangiocytes) upon culture. These intrahepatic cholangiocyte organoids (ICOs) maintain their gentic stability, transcription profile and can be maintained propagated during long periods of culturing while still maintaining their functional properties. The data presented in this ArrayExpress submission contained micro array results of 6 from 15 different ICO lines that were analyzed for their functional cholangiocyte ion-channels, involved in secreting a protective bicarbonate layer. It was shown that these data closely resemble the expression profiles of extrahepatic cholangiocyte organoids (ECOs), previously described by Sampaziotis et al. and deposited in the EMBL-EBI ArrayExpress repository (E-MTAB-4591)

Dimorphic H3K27 methylation guides germline or vegetative cell fate dichotomy in male gametophytes [ATAC-seq]

Project description:During angiosperm male gametogenesis, microspores divide to produce a vegetative cell (VC) and a male germline (MG), each with a distinct cell fate. How the MG cell/VC fate is determined remains largely unknown. Here, we report that the VC-targeted H3K27me3 erasure resulted in VC fate transition towards a gamete destination. Multi-omics and cytologic analysis reveal that H3K27me3 is essential for VC fate commitment and contributes to suppress the MG cell fate initiation in VC, whereas MG cells require H3K27me3 reprograming for the gamete cell fate. This work suggests that the MG cell/VC fate is epigenetically regulated. The dimorphic H3K27 methylation acts as a core switch to determine their distinct cell fates and ensure the functional specification of both VC and MG for pollen fertility. This work also provides direct evidences for the proposal that VC maintains the default developmental program of microspore, whereas MG requires reprogramming.

Human branching cholangiocyte organoids recapitulate embryogenic bile duct development and provide an unique model to study biliary diseases. RNA-Seq

Project description:Although providing promising and unique tools for studying cholangiocytes, current tissue-derived cholangiocyte-organoid systems do not recapitulate the complex architecture of the intrahepatic bile ducts in vitro. Here, we report a new method for creating branching cholangiocyte organoids (BRCO) from human adult tissue to study the intrahepatic biliary tree and diseases. BRCOs self-organize into large complex tubular structures, while closely resembling primary cholangiocytes on a transcriptomic and functional level. They are capable of mimicking branching bile duct development as well as being used for studying diseases in which the biliary tree does not develop properly (Alagille Syndrome). Furthermore, we deliver evidence that our culture method allows for formation of complex cholangiocyte cancer (cholangiocarcinoma, CCA) organoids. These branching CCA organoids resemble the primary tumor more closely compared to previously published protocols as well as showing unique tumor-specific drug responses. In conclusion, our culture method allows for creation of novel (malignant) cholangiocyte-organoids to study the intrahepatic bile ducts.
