Project description:Here we demonstrate the generation of stable induced trophoblast stem cells (iTSCs) from fibroblasts by the transient expression of Gata3, Eomes and Tfap2c. Transcriptome and methylome analyses and functional assays such as hemorrhagic lesion formation and placenta contribution suggested a high degree of conversion. Careful examination of the reprogramming process indicated that the cells did not go through a transient pluripotent state.

Project description:Trophoblast stem cells (TSCs) are derived from the trophoectoderm of a blastocyst and can maintain self-renewal in vitro. Meanwhile, essential insights into the molecular mechanisms controlling placental developmental could be gained by using TSCs that can differentiate into the various placental trophoblast cell types in vitro. Esrrb is a transcription factor with pivotal roles in maintaining TSCs’ self-renewal, but the exact transcriptional networks that Esrrb involved in TSCs are largely unknown. In the present study, we elucidated the function of Esrrb during TSC self-renewal and differentiation. We demonstrate that precise levels of Essrb are critical for TSCs stemness maintenance and normal trophoblast differentiation, as Esrrb depletion results in down-regulation of the key TSC-specific transcription factors, consequently causing TSCs differentiation and forced expression of Esrrb can partially block TSCs differentiation in the absence of FGF4. This function of Esrrb is exerted by directly binding and activating a core set of TSC-specific target genes including Cdx2, Eomes, Sox2, Fgfr4 and BMP4. Furthermore, we investigate the role of Esrrb in reprogramming of mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) to induced TSCs (iTSCs). We show that Esrrb can facilitate the conversion of iTSCs from MEFs. Moreover, Esrrb can substitute for Eomes during this conversion process. Our findings provide a better understanding of the molecular mechanism of Esrrb in maintaining TSCs self-renewal and iTSCs reprogramming.

Project description:The generation of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) and the direct conversion approach provide an invaluable resource of cells for disease modeling, drug screening, and patient-specific cell-based therapy. However, while iPSCs are stable and resemble ESCs in their transcriptome, methylome and function, the vast majority of the directly converted cells represent an incomplete reprogramming state as evident by their aberrant transcriptome and transgene dependency. This raises the question of whether complete and stable nuclear reprogramming can be achieved only in pluripotent cells. Here we demonstrate the generation of stable and fully functional induced trophoblast stem cells (iTSCs) by transient expression of Gata3, Tfap2c and Eomes. Similarly to iPSCs, iTSCs underwent a complete and stable reprogramming process as assessed by transcriptome and methylome analyses and functional assays such as the formation of hemorrhagic lesion and placenta contribution. Careful examination of the conversion process indicated that the cells did not go through a transient pluripotent state. These results suggest that complete nuclear reprograming can be attained in non-pluripotent cells.

Project description:In human, the functional placenta requires the proper differentiation of trophoblastic subtypes from the trophoblast stem cells (hTSCs). Although successful derivation of hTSCs from the early placentas and blastocysts, these hTSCs face ethical concerns and limited models for trophoblast-related disorders at later stage, such as preeclampsia. Here, we show that both hESCs and hiPSCs are able to be induced to the long-term and proliferative hTSCs under defined culture medium. These induced trophoblast stem cells (iTSCs) are comparable to the hTSC cell line derived from blastocyst in morphology, growth properties, specific genes expression, capacity of differentiating toward extravillous cytotrophoblast and syncytiotrophoblast, and patterns of transcriptome profile, chromatin accessibility and histone modification that are conducive to placenta development and maintenance of hTSCs. Notably, iTSCs meet four criteria defining "trophoblastic" including: expression of specific transcript factors, hypomethylation of ELF5 promoter, lack of expression of HLA-class I molecules and expression of the chromosome 19-encoded miRNA. Moreover, we reveal that addition of BMP4 or absence of H3K27 methyltransferases EZH1/2 could enhance the iTSCs generation. Our results suggest that human TS cells could be derived from human pluripotent stem cells, which expands the source of human TS cells avoiding ethic issues and provides a useful tool for researching placenta development and function, and modeling placenta-originated disorders.
