A single embryo, single cell time-resolved model for mouse gastrulation

ABSTRACT: Mouse embryonic development is a canonical model system for studying mammalian cell fate acquisition. Recently, single-cell atlases comprehensively charted embryonic transcriptional landscapes, yet inference of the coordinated dynamics of cells over such atlases remains challenging. Here we introduce a temporal model for mouse gastrulation, consisting of data from 153 individually sampled embryos spanning 36 hours of molecular diversification. Using new algorithms and precise timing we infer differentiation flows and lineage specification dynamics over the embryonic transcriptional manifold. Rapid transcriptional bifurcations characterize the commitment of early specialized node and blood cells. However, for most lineages, we observe combinatorial multi-furcation dynamics rather than hierarchical transcriptional transitions. In the mesoderm, dozens of transcription factors combinatorially regulate multi-furcations, as we exemplify using time-matched chimeric embryos of Foxc1/Foxc2 mutants. Our study rejects the notion of differentiation being governed by a series of binary choices, providing an alternative quantitative model for cell fate acquisition.

Single cell Hi-C deconvolutes proliferation and differentiation of chromosome conformation in embryonic mesoderm, ectoderm and blood

Project description:Embryonic development involves massive proliferation and differentiation of cell lineages. This must be supported by chromosome replication and epigenetic reprogramming, but how proliferation and cell fate acquisition are balanced in this process is not well understood. Here we use single cell Hi-C to map chromosomal conformations in post-gastrulation mouse embryo cells and study their distributions and correlations with matching embryonic transcriptional atlases. We find that embryonic chromosomes show a remarkably strong cell cycle signature. Despite that, replication timing, chromosome compartment structure, topological associated domains (TADs) and promoter-enhancer loops are sufficiently heterogeneous to support de-novo clustering of single nuclei into distinct epigenetic states. About 10% of the nuclei are identified as primitive erythrocytes, showing exceptionally compact and organized compartment structure. The remaining cells are broadly associated with ectoderm and mesoderm identities, showing only mild differentiation of TADs and compartment structures, but more specific localized contacts in hundreds of ectoderm and mesoderm promoter-enhancer pairs. The data distinguish the chromosome folding of fully committed cells from those in plastic and continuously differentiating embryo cells, suggesting localized regulatory contacts in embryos are established prior to differentiation of compartment structure and TAD localization.

A robust method for performing 1H-NMR lipidomics in embryonic zebrafish

Project description:The embryonic zebrafish is an ideal system for lipid analyses with relevance to many areas of bioscience research, including biomarkers and therapeutics. Research in this area has been hampered by difficulties in extracting, identifying and quantifying lipids. We employed 1H-NMR at 700MHz to profile lipids in developing zebrafish embryos. The optimal method for lipidomics in embryonic zebrafish incorporated rapid lipid extraction using chloroform and an environment without oxygen depletion. Pools of 10 embryos gave the most acceptable signal-to-noise ratio, and the inclusion of chorions in the sample had no significant effect on lipid abundances. Embryos, bisected into cranial (head and yolk sac) and caudal (tail) regions, were compared by principal component analysis and analysis of variance.

Base-editor-mediated multiplexed inactivation of DNA methyltransferases reveals essential roles of miRNAs in mouse gastrulation

Project description:Here, we first establish an easy Multi-Stop system to simultaneously inactivate genes involved in DNA methylation and demethylation in zygotes through introduction of the stop codon by hA3A-eBE-Y130F-mediated base editor (BE). While Multi-Stop-derived Dnmt-null embryos display embryonic lethal due to gastrulation failure. Moreover, mutation combinations between Tet and Dnmt families show severe embryonic lethal and Dnmt1 or Dnmt3a/3b is indispensable for mouse gastrulation. Then WGBS and RNA-seq analysis of different mutant embryos reveals genes jointly maintained by Dnmt1 and Dnmt3a/3b that are critical for gastrulation.

Inferring pattern-driving intercellular flows from single-cell transcriptomics of young human cortical organoids

Project description:Intercellular communication drives directed flows of information that are mediated by intracellular gene modules, in turn triggering outflows of other signals. Methodologies to describe such intercellular flows are severely lacking. We present FlowSig, a method that infers communication-driven intercellular flows from scRNA-seq using graphical causal modeling and conditional independence. We used human cortical organoid samples collected at D18 and D35 to demonstrate the functions of FlowSig.

Multi-modal characterization of chromatin architecture from 24 hpf whole zebrafish embryos

Project description:DNA accessibility of cis regulatory elements (CREs) dictates transcriptional activity and drives cell differentiation during development. To obtain a more comprehensive view of CRE dynamics, we applied single-cell combinatorial indexing ATAC-seq (sci-ATAC-seq) to whole 24hpf stage zebrafish embryos thereby measuring DNA accessibility in ~23,000 single cells. We developed two solutions to computational challenges in analyzing single-cell accessibility maps: 1) selection of informative genome segments, and 2) genome-wide classification of both cell-type-specific and multi-cell-type accessibility dynamics. We validated the sci-ATAC-seq results with bulk measurements for histone post-translational modifications and 3D genome organization, recovering known relationships between chromatin modalities and providing additional regulatory classifications. Furthermore, we applied sci-ATAC-seq to cloche/npas4l mutant embryos which revealed known and novel cellular roles for the hemato-vascular transcriptional master regulator, and suggested an intricate network regulating its expression. These data and their extensive analysis constitute a valuable developmental, molecular, and computational resource for future studies.

Hijacking of transcriptional condensates by endogenous retroviruses

Project description:Heterochromatin plays essential roles in repressing retrotransposons, e.g. endogenous retroviruses (ERVs) during mammalian development, but the contribution of retrotransposition to lethality observed in embryonic cells deficient for heterochromatin-mediated ERV repression is poorly understood. Here we report that selective degradation of the TRIM28 heterochromatin adapter protein leads to reduced association of transcriptional condensates with loci encoding super-enhancer -driven pluripotency genes in embryonic stem cells, a collapse of the pluripotency transcriptional circuit, and a pre-lethal restriction of pluripotent lineages in mouse embryos. De-repressed ERVs recruit transcriptional condensates in the absence of TRIM28, and ERV RNA facilitates condensation of RNA Polymerase II in vitro. We propose that retrotransposons contribute to the genomic distribution of nuclear condensates, and that RNA species may facilitate “hijacking” of transcriptional condensates in various developmental and disease contexts.

Copy number variation in tRNA isodecoders impairs mammalian development and balanced translation

Project description:The number of tRNA isodecoder genes has increased dramatically in mammals, but the specific molecular and physiological reasons for this expansion remain elusive. To address this fundamental question we used CRISPR editing to knockout the seven-membered phenylalanine tRNA gene family in mice, both individually and combinatorially. Using ATAC-seq, RNA-seq and proteomics we observed distinct molecular consequences of individual tRNA deletions. We show that tRNA-Phe-1-1 is required for neuronal function and its loss is partially compensated by increased expression of other tRNAs but results in mistranslation. In contrast, the other tRNA-Phe isodecoders compensate for the loss of each of the remaining six tRNA-Phe genes. In the tRNA-Phe gene family, the expression of at least four tRNA-Phe isodecoders is required for embryonic development and survival. The loss of tRNA-Phe-1-1 and any other three tRNA-Phe genes causes embryonic lethality indicating that tRNA-Phe-1-1 is most important for development and survival. Our results reveal that the multi-copy configuration of tRNA isodecoder genes is required to buffer translation and viability in mammals.

TRIM28 repression of retrotransposon-based enhancers is necessary to preserve transcriptional dynamics in embryonic stem cells

Project description:TRIM28 (KAP1 - KRAB-associated protein 1) is critical for the silencing of endogenous retroviruses (ERVs) in embryonic stem (ES) cells. Here, we reveal that an essential impact of this process is the protection of cellular gene expression in early embryos from perturbation by cis-acting activators contained within these genetic invaders. In TRIM28-depleted ES cells, repressive chromatin marks at ERVs are replaced by histone modifications typical of active enhancers, stimulating transcription of nearby cellular genes, notably those harboring bivalent promoters. Correspondingly, ERV-derived sequences can repress or enhance expression from an adjacent promoter in transgenic embryos depending on their TRIM28-sensitivity in ES cells. TRIM28-mediated control of ERVs is therefore crucial not just to prevent retrotransposition, but more broadly to safeguard the transcriptional dynamics of early embryos. Analyses of transcriptional profiles and chromatin state in TRIM28 WT and KO cells
