Project description:Single cell technologies hold promise for resolving complex early developmental phenotypes. Here we define a novel Hedgehog (Hh)-Fibroblast Growth Factor (FGF) signaling axis for the formation of anterior mesoderm lineages during gastrulation. Single-cell transcriptome analysis of Hh-deficient mesoderm revealed selective deficits in anterior mesoderm populations—culminating in defects to anterior embryonic structures including the pharyngeal arches, heart, and anterior somites. Transcriptional profiling of Hh-deficient mesoderm during gastrulation revealed disruptions to both transcriptional patterning of the mesoderm and FGF signaling for mesoderm migration. Mesoderm-specific Fgf4/Fgf8 double mutants recapitulated anterior mesoderm defects and Hh-dependent GLI transcription factors modulated enhancers at FGF gene loci. Cellular migration defects during gastrulation induced by Hh pathway antagonism were mitigated by FGF4 protein. These findings implicate a multicomponent signaling hierarchy activated by Hh ligands from the embryonic node and executed by FGF signals in nascent mesoderm to control anterior mesoderm patterning.

Project description:Embryonic stem (ES) cells continuously decide whether to maintain pluripotency or differentiate. While exogenous LIF and BMP4 perpetuate a pluripotent state, less is known about factors initiating differentiation. We show that heparan sulfate (HS) proteoglycans are critical co-receptors for signals inducing ES cell differentiation. Genetic targeting of NDST1 and 2, two enzymes required for N-sulfation of proteoglycans, blocked differentiation. This phenotype was rescued by HS presented in trans or by soluble heparin. NaClO3-, which reduces sulfation of proteoglycans, potently blocked differentiation of wild type cells. Mechanistically, N-sulfation was identified to be critical for functional autocrine FGF4 signalling. Micro array analysis identified the pluripotency maintaining transcription factors Nanog, KLF2/4/8, Tbx3 and Tcf3 to be negatively regulated, whereas markers of differentiation such as Gbx2, Dnmt3b, FGF5 and Brachyury were induced by sulfation-dependent-FGFR signalling. We show that several of these genes are heterogeneously expressed in ES cells and targeting of heparan sulfation or FGFR-signalling facilitated a homogenous Nanog/KLF4/Tbx3 positive ES cell state. This finding suggests that the recently discovered heterogeneous state of ES cells is regulated by HS-dependent FGFR signalling. Similarly, culturing blastocysts with NaClO3- eliminated GATA6 positive primitive endoderm progenitors generating a homogenous Nanog positive inner cell mass. Functionally, reduction of sulfation robustly improved de novo ES cell derivation efficiency. We conclude that N-sulfated HS is required for FGF4 signalling to maintain ES cells primed for differentiation in a heterogeneous state. Inhibiting this pathway facilitates a more naïve ground state.

Project description:This experiment records the transcriptional responses of mES cells (line OG2) to FGF/ERK stimulation in the presence of LIF, to LIF/STAT3 inhibition in the presence of an FGF/ERK inhibitor, and to combined FGF/ERK stimulation / LIF/STAT3 inhibition.

Project description:Analysis of the effects of three members of the FGF family (FGF1, FGF2 and FGF9) and bone morphogenic protein 4 (BMP4) on myelinating cultures generated from dissociated embryonic spinal cord. The results of both immediate (24 hours, T1 (24 hrs)) and long term treatments (10days, T2) give insights into the cumulative effects of sustained FGF and BMP mediated signal transduction in the pathogenesis of demyelinating diseases.

Project description:Human Embryonic Stem Cells (hESC) grown in chemically defined medium (CDM) supplemented with Activin and FGF were compared to hESCs grown for 48 hours in CDM supplemented with FGF2 and SB431542, an inhibitor of Activin/Nodal signalling. The objective of this experiment was to discover the identity of genes controlled by Activin/Nodal signalling in hESCs.<br><br>

Project description:We report that FGF exposure of sensory progenitors (pPPR) leads to rapid deposition of active chromatin marks H3K27ac near hundreds of FGF-responsive, otic-epibranchial progenitor (OEP) genes, while H3K27ac is depleted in the vicinity of non-otic genes. Genomic regions that gain H3K27ac act as cis-regulatory elements controlling OEP gene expression in time and space and define a unique transcription factor signature likely to control their activity. Thus, during ear induction FGF signalling modifies the chromatin landscape to promote enhancer activation and chromatin accessibility.

Project description:Bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signaling is known to support differentiation of human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) into mesoderm and extraembryonic lineages, whereas other signaling pathways can largely influence this lineage specification. Here, we set out to reinvestigate the influence of ACTIVIN/NODAL and fibroblast growth factor (FGF) pathways on the lineage choices made by hESCs during BMP4-driven differentiation. We show that BMP activation, coupled with inhibition of both ACTIVIN/NODAL and FGF signaling, induces differentiation of hESCs, specifically to M-NM-2hCG hormone-secreting multinucleated syncytiotrophoblast and does not support induction of embryonic and extraembryonic lineages, extravillous trophoblast, and primitive endoderm. It has been previously reported that FGF2 can switch BMP4-induced hESC differentiation outcome to mesendoderm. Here, we show that FGF inhibition alone, or in combination with either ACTIVIN/NODAL inhibition or BMP activation, supports hESC differentiation to hCG-secreting syncytiotrophoblast. We show that the inhibition of the FGF pathway acts as a key in directing BMP4-mediated hESC differentiation to syncytiotrophoblast. Human embryonic Stem Cells (hESCs) were treated under defined conditions (N2B27) with BMP4 (B), SB431542 (SB) (ACTIVIN/NODAL inhibitor), SU5402 (SU) (FGFR1 inhibitor), FGF2 (F) either alone or in various combinations as mentioned, followed by isolation of total RNA.

Project description:The culture of neural stem cells (NSCs) as floating neurospheres has become widely used as an experimental model to analyse the properties of NSCs. Although the neurosphere model has existed for two decades, there is still no standard protocol to grow NSCs in this way. Thus, we have analysed the consequences of the frequency of growth factor (FGF-2 and EGF) addition to embryonic and adult olfactory bulb stem cells (eOBSCs and aOBSCs) cultures, specifically in terms of proliferation, cell cycle progression, death and differentiation, as well as on global changes in gene expression and signaling pathways. We found that addition of FGF-2 and EGF every two or four days rather than daily significantly reduces the volume of the neurospheres and the total number of cells, changes that were more evident in aOBSC than in eOBSC cultures. The reduction in neurosphere size was mainly due to an increase in cell death and occurs without major changes in the cell cycle parameters tested. Moreover, partial deprivation of FGF-2 and EGF produces a mild increase in aOBSC differentiation during the proliferative phase. Remarkably, these effects were accompanied by a significant upregulation in the expression of genes involved in cell death regulation (Cryab), lipid catabolic processes (Pla2g7), cell adhesion (Dscaml1), cell differentiation (Dscaml1, Gpr17, S100b) and signal transduction (Gpr17, Ndrg2), among others. These findings support that continuous supply of FGF-2 and EGF is critical to maintain the viability/survival of NSCs in culture and reveals novel molecular hallmarks of NSC maintenance/survival and expansion in response to these growth factors. Total RNA was extracted from aOBSC cultures using the Trizol reagent (Invitrogen) and purified with Qiagen RNeasy Mini Kit separation columns (Qiagen). The RNA was sent to the Genomic Unit of CNB (Centro Nacional de Biotecnologia, Madrid, Spain). RNA integrity was corroborated by using Bioanalyzer. Then, cDNA was synthesized and hybridized to Affymetrix GeneChip Mouse Genome 430 2.0 arrays (Affymetrix, Santa Clara, CA, http://www.affymetrix.com) which contain a total of 45101 transcripts to assess and compare the overall gene expression profiles. 9 samples were analyzed.
