Project description:Classical mouse embryology has established a paradigm of early development drivenby sequential lineage bifurcations. Accordingly, mouse embryonic stem cells derivedfrom early epiblast have lost the potency to produce extraembryonic trophectoderm.We show in contrast that human naive epiblast cells readily make trophectoderm.Inhibition of ERK signalling, instrumental in naive stem cell propagation, unexpectedlypotentiates trophectoderm formation, an effect enhanced by Nodal inhibition.Transcriptome analyses authenticate conversion into trophectoderm with subsequentproduction of syncitiotrophoblast, cytotrophoblast and trophoblast stem cells. Geneticperturbations indicate that NANOG suppresses and TFAP2C enables trophectoderminduction. Consistent with post-implantation progression, trophectoderm potential isextinguished in conventional human pluripotent stem cells, which instead makeamnion. Finally, human embryo epiblasts from late blastocysts efficiently generatetrophectoderm and differentiated trophoblast. Thus, pluripotent cells in the humanembryo retain extraembryonic lineage plasticity and regenerative potential untilimplantation. Harnessing this unanticipated regulative capacity may be beneficial forassisted reproduction technology.

Project description:Expression profiling of stem cell lines derived from the early embryo representing the trophoblast, primitive endoderm, early epiblast (inner cell mass E3.5) and late post-implantation epiblast (E5.5). Cells were grown without feeders and harvested. Comparisons were made to provide evidence of unique gene expression between the cell lines. Specifically, pre-implantation (ICM, epiblast and primitive endoderm, and trophoblast), as well as pre-implantation and post-implantation epiblasts.

Project description:5 days after fertilisation the human embryo forms a blastocyst, comprising an outer layer of trophectoderm (TE), that gives rise to placental trophoblast cells, and the inner cell mass (ICM) which later segregates into epiblast (EPI) and primitive endoderm (PE). After implantation TE differentiates into cytotrophoblast cells (CTBs) which give rise to the multinucleated syncytiotrophoblast (STB) and invasive extravillous trophoblast cells (EVTs). A conserved molecular cascade regulates TE initiation (Gerri et al. Nature 2020), but subsequent TE development is poorly defined. To study this in greater detail we performed RNA-seq analysis of human blastocysts cultured to different stages of pre-implantation TE development: Day 5: TE appearance, Day 6: TE expansion and Day 7: TE hatching.

Project description:We report global transcriptional alteration and transcriptional trajectories from naive human pluripotent stem cells-derived trphectoderm to cytotrophoblast. By graph-based cell identities of total samples on the Seurat platform, we identified 9 main clusters, and further revealed the pseudotime differentiation during trophectoderm-cytotrophoblast transition.

Project description:The mechanisms by which the placenta adapts to exogenous stimuli to create a stable and healthy environment for the growing fetus are not well known. Low oxygen tension and sub-optimal vitamin D levels influence placental function and both are associated with preeclampsia, a condition associated with altered development of placental trophoblast. We hypothesized that oxygen tension, vitamin D levels, or both affect villous trophoblast by modulation of gene expression through DNA methylation. To test this we used the Illumina Infinium Human Methylation 450 BeadChip array to compare the DNA methylation profile of primary cultures of human cytotrophoblasts and syncytiotrophoblasts under three oxygen tensions and three vitamin D levels. We found no effect on global DNA methylation by either treatment, but a limited set of loci became hypermethylated in cytotrophoblasts exposed for 24 hours to 1% oxygen, as compared to the same cells exposed to 8% or 20% oxygen. Vitamin D levels had no detectable effect on methylation profiles in either trophoblast type. Hypermethylation with low oxygen tension was independently confirmed by bisulfite-pyrosequencing in a subset of functionally important genes including CP, ITGA5, SOD2, XDH and ZNF2. Intriguingly, 70 out of the 147 hypoxia-associated CpGs, overlapped with CpG sites that become hypomethylated upon differentiation of cytotrophoblasts into syncytiotrophoblasts. Furthermore, the preponderance of altered sites was located at AP-1 binding sites. We suggest that AP-1 expression is triggered by hypoxia and interacts with DNA methyltransferases (DNMTs) to target methylation at specific sites in the genome, thus causing suppression of the associated genes that are responsible for differentiation of villous cytotrophoblast to syncytiotrophoblast. RNA from cytotrophoblast from 2 placentas exposed to 3 different conditions of hypoxia (1%,8%,20%) and treated with 3 levels of vitamin D were run on the Illumina HT-12v4 Expression Array

Project description:Naïve human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) provide a unique experimental platform of cell fate decisions during pre-implantation development, but their lineage potential remains incompletely characterized. As naïve hPSCs share transcriptional and epigenomic signatures with trophoblast cells, it has been proposed that the naïve state may have enhanced predisposition for differentiation along this extraembryonic lineage. Here we examined the trophoblast potential of isogenic naïve and primed hPSCs. We found that naïve hPSCs can directly give rise to human trophoblast stem cells (hTSCs) and undergo further differentiation into both extravillous and syncytiotrophoblast. In contrast, primed hPSCs do not support hTSC derivation, but give rise to non-self-renewing cytotrophoblasts in response to BMP4. Global transcriptome and chromatin accessibility analyses indicate that hTSCs derived from naïve hPSCs acquire features of pre-implantation trophectoderm. The derivation of hTSCs from naïve hPSCs will enable elucidation of early mechanisms that govern normal human trophoblast development and associated pathologies.

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:Functional-assay limitations are an emerging issue in characterizing human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs). With rodent PSCs, chimera formation, using pre-implantation embryos, is the gold-standard assay of pluripotency. In hPSCs, this can only be monitored via teratoma formation or in vitro differentiation, as ethical concerns preclude generation of human-animal chimera. To circumvent this issue, we established a functional assay utilizing interspecific blastocyst injection and in vitro culture (interspecies in vitro chimera assay). The assay uses mouse pre-implantation embryos and human PSCs to make interspecies chimeras cultured in vitro to the early egg cylinder stage. When hiPSCs, both conventional and naive type, which called M-bM-^@M-^\reset cellM-bM-^@M-^], were injected into mouse embryos and cultured. The cells were never integrated into the epiblast of egg cylinder stage-embryo. These results suggest that hPSCs, including naM-CM-/ve type, are unable to form chimera with mouse embryo. Reset cells were converted from conventional human iPSC line PB004, and then compared their gene expression profile with or without transgene overexpression induced by doxycyclin treatment.
