Project description:Pluripotent stem cells can differentiate into all embryonic germ layers, a process that is orchestrated by the dissolution of pluripotency network and activation of pro-differentiation pathways. Yet, the genes essential for these cell fate transitions in human are still elusive. Here, we used a genome-wide loss-of-function library established in haploid hPSCs and differentiated these cells into into the three germ layers. We analyzed the transcriptome of the differentiated mutant library cells to assess their differentiation status, as well as to determine lineage-specific expression of essential genes for the differentiation of hESCs into each germ layer.

Project description:The germ layer concept has been one of the foremost organizing principles in developmental biology, classification, systematics and evolution for 150 years. Of the three germ layers, the mesoderm is found in bilaterian animals but is absent in species in the phyla Cnidaria and Ctenophora, which has been taken as evidence that the mesoderm was the final germ layer to evolve. The origin of the ectoderm and endoderm layers, however, remains unclear with models supporting the antecedence of each as well as a simultaneous origin. We hypothesized that global analysis of gene expression in each layer throughout development may resolve the early events of animal evolution. Here, we determine the temporal and spatial components of gene expression spanning embryonic development for all C. elegans genes and use it to determine the evolutionary age of the germ layers. The gene expression programs of the mesoderm is generally induced after the ectoderm and endoderm germ layers, thus making it the last germ layer to both evolve and develop. Strikingly, the C. elegans endoderm and ectoderm expression programs do not co-induce; rather the endoderm activates earlier. We also observed early expression of endoderm orthologs during the embryology of Xenopus tropicalis, Nematostella vectensis, and the sponge Amphimedon queenslandica. Querying for the phylogenetic ages of specifically expressed genes revealed that the endoderm is comprised of older genes, supporting its antecedence among the germ layers. Taken together, we propose that the endoderm program has retained the feeding functions of the last common ancestor with the choanoflagellates, thus allowing for the specialization of an ectoderm germ layer. Our work reveals that the evolutionary appearance of the germ layers continues to constrain regulatory networks in metazoans. Two temporal assays of C. elegans embryonic development, starting at the zygote: (a) Embryos collected at fixed (~10 minute) time intervals. (b) Embryo segregates, up to five lines of blastomeres, isolated in reference to mitotic events. There were 184 samples in total, representing 100 distnict data points.

Project description:Formation of the three primary germ layers during gastrulation is an essential step in the establishment of the vertebrate body plan. Recent studies employing single cell RNA-sequencing have identified major transcriptional changes associated with germ layer specification. Global epigenetic reprogramming accompanies these changes, but the role of the epigenome in regulating early cell fate choice remains unresolved, and the coordination between different epigenetic layers is unclear. Here we describe the first single cell triple-omics map of chromatin accessibility, DNA methylation and RNA expression during the exit from pluripotency and the onset of gastrulation in mouse embryos. We find dynamic dependencies between the different molecular layers, with evidence for distinct modes of epigenetic regulation. The initial exit from pluripotency coincides with the establishment of a global repressive epigenetic landscape, followed by the emergence of local lineage-specific epigenetic patterns during gastrulation. Notably, cells committed to mesoderm and endoderm undergo widespread coordinated epigenetic rearrangements, driven by loss of methylation in enhancer marks and a concomitant increase of chromatin accessibility. In striking contrast, the epigenetic landscape of ectodermal cells is already established in the early epiblast. Hence, regulatory elements associated with each germ layer are either epigenetically primed or epigenetically remodelled prior to overt cell fate decisions during gastrulation, providing the molecular logic for a hierarchical emergence of the primary germ layers.

Project description:With a view to developing a much-needed non-invasive method for monitoring the healthy pluripotent state of human stem cells in culture, we undertook proteomic analysis of the waste medium from cultured induced (Rebl.PAT) human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs). Cells were grown in E8 medium to maintain pluripotency, and then transferred to FGF2 and TGFβ deficient E6 media for 48 hours to replicate an early, undirected dissolution of pluripotency. We identified a distinct proteomic footprint associated with early loss of pluripotency in both hPSC lines, and a strong correlation with changes in the transcriptome. We demonstrate that multiplexing of four E8- against four E6- enriched secretome biomarkers provides a robust, diagnostic metric for pluripotent state. These biomarkers were further confirmed by Western blotting which demonstrated consistent correlation with the pluripotent state across cell lines, and in response to a recovery assay.
