Gastruloids generated without exogenous Wnt activation develop anterior neural tissues [EmbryoidsTruseq2]

ABSTRACT: Here we describe an approach to generate gastruloids that have a more complete antero-posterior development. We used bioengineered hydrogel microwell arrays to promote the robust derivation of mouse ESCs into post-implantation epiblast-like (EPI) aggregates in a reproducible and scalable manner. These EPI aggregates break symmetry and axially elongate without external chemical stimulation. Inhibition of WNT signaling in early stages of development leads to the formation of gastruloids with anterior neural tissues.

Multi-axial self-organisation properties of mouse embryonic stem cells into gastruloids [individual]

Project description:Gastruloids, small aggregates of murine Embryonic Stem (ES) cells stimulated to undergo gastrulation-like symmetry breaking events in vitro (van den Brink, S. C. et al. 2014, Simunovic, M. & Brivanlou, A. H 2017). Analysis of the transcriptional profiles from pools of gastruloids collected at different time-points after aggregation (AA) revealed that gastruloids are capable of organizing an axially integrated post-occipital pattern of neural, mesodermal and endodermal derivatives that mimics that of the embryo in terms of gene expression. To test the homogeneity and reproducibility of the transcriptional programs uncovered by our bulked RNAseq experiments, we performed RNAseq analysis of individual gastruloids collected at different time-points AA (10 biological replicates per time-point). Our results indicates that the transcriptional profiles of gastruloid were highly reproducible at each time points and that each gastruloid implement the full diversity of transcriptional programs detected in our bulked RNAseq experiments.

Single Cell RNA-seq time course of mouse gastruloids at 0h (mESCs), 24h, 48h and 72h post-aggregation

Project description:Single cell transcriptomic study (using 10x Genomics v3 kits) of gastruloids, aggregates of mESCs, at different developmental timepoints (24h, 48h and 72h post-aggregation). mESCs, corresponding to the 0h timepoint, were also sequenced. The aim of this study was to delineate the cell state transition dynamics underlying anteroposterior symmetry breaking and germ layer formation in gastruloids. Gastruloids used in this study were generated from Bra::GFP reporter mESCs (Fehling et al., 2003).

Single-cell and spatial transcriptomics reveal somitogenesis in gastruloids

Project description:Gastruloids are three-dimensional aggregates of embryonic stem cells (ESCs) that display key features of mammalian post-implantation development, including germ layer specification and axial organization. Gastruloids have mostly been characterized with microscopy-based approaches, limiting the number of genes that can be explored. It is therefore unclear to what extent gene expression in gastruloids reflects in vivo embryonic expression. Using both single-cell RNA-seq (scRNA-seq) and spatial transcriptomics we systematically compared cell types and spatial expression patterns between mouse gastruloids and mouse embryos.

Multi-axial self-organisation properties of mouse embryonic stem cells into gastruloids [E6.5 to E9.5]

Project description:Gastruloids are small aggregates of murine Embryonic Stem (ES) cells stimulated to undergo gastrulation-like symmetry breaking events in vitro (van den Brink, S. C. et al. 2014, Simunovic, M. & Brivanlou, A. H 2017). We analyzed the transcriptomic profiles of gastruloids at different time-points after aggregation (AA) and compared them with those of mouse embryo at different stages, raging from e6 to e9.5. We show that gastruloids are capable of organizing a post-occipital pattern of neural, mesodermal and endodermal derivatives that mimics that of the embryo in terms of gene expression.

Hypoxia induces a transcriptional primitive streak signature in ES cells and enhances lineage patterning in gastruloids

Project description:The cellular microenvironment shapes stem cell identity and differentiation capacity. Mammalian early embryos are exposed to hypoxia in vivo and benefit from hypoxic culture in vitro. Yet, how different components of the hypoxia response impact stem cell transcriptional networks and lineage choices remains unclear. Here we investigated the effect of acute and prolonged hypoxia on stem cell states and differentiation efficiencies of embryonic and extraembryonic cells. We show that prolonged hypoxia enhances differentiation of embryonic stem (ES) cells towards the mesendoderm lineage by transcriptionally priming cells with a primitive streak signature including Wnt3 and T expression. Exposure to hypoxia in ES culture or during formation of gastrulation-mimicking organoids (gastruloids) moderates T expression and enhances structural complexity. Hypoxic gastruloids generated without exogenous Wnt induction can spontaneously elongate and self-organize. Direct gene regulation by Hif1a, combined with DNA demethylation and metabolic rewiring modulate the transcriptional response and phenotypic outcome. Our findings highlight the influence of the microenvironment on stem cell function and provide a rationale supportive of applying physiological conditions in synthetic embryo models.

Capturing cardiogenesis in gastruloids

Project description:Organoids are powerful models for studying tissue development, physiology, and disease. However, current culture systems disrupt the inductive tissue-tissue interactions needed for the complex morphogenetic processes of native organogenesis. Here we show that mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs) can be coaxed to robustly undergo fundamental steps of early heart organogenesis with an in vivo-like spatiotemporal fidelity. These axially patterned embryonic organoids (gastruloids) mimic embryonic development, and support the generation of cardiovascular progenitors, including first and second heart fields. The cardiac progenitors self-organize into an anterior domain reminiscent of a cardiac crescent before forming a beating cardiac tissue near a putative primitive gut-like tube, from which it is separated by an endocardial-like layer. These findings unveil the surprising morphogenetic potential of mESCs to execute key aspects of organogenesis through the coordinated development of multiple tissues. This platform could be an excellent tool for studying heart development in unprecedented detail and throughput.

Comparative single cell RNA seq of gastruloids from mESCs grown in 3 distinct media conditions facilitating distinct pluripotent states at 3 different developmental time points

Project description:Comparative single cell transcriptomic study (using 10x Genomics v3.1 kits) of gastruloids, aggregates of mESCs, at different developmental timepoints. mESCs, corresponding to the 0h timepoint, were also sequenced. The source mESCs were grown in 2 distinct media conditions: DMEM-based Serum-LIF (SL), SL + 0.3uM PD03 (SL + 1i) and SL + 1.5uM CGP77 + 3uM CHIR99 (SL + a2i). The following sets of timepoints were compared: 0hpa (hours post-aggregation) SL, 0hpa SL + 1i, 0hpa SL + a2i (corresponding to the mESC timepoint; 48hpa SL, 48hpa SL + 1i, 72hpa SL + a2i (corresponding to the pre-CHIR99 timepoint); 72hpa SL, 72hpa SL + 1i, 96hpa SL + a2i (corresponding to the post-CHIR99 timepoint); 120hpa SL, 120hpa SL + 1i, 144hpa SL + a2i (corresponding to the maximum elongation timepoint). The aim of this study was to delineate whether mESC pluripotent state influences cell and tissue fate acquisition dynamics. Gastruloids used in this study were generated from a transgenic G4 mESC line (George et al., PNAS 2007) modified via CRISPR-Cas9 mediated heterozygous knock-in of a Bra/T reporter allele (p2a-H2B-eGFP) as well as a ubiquitous nuclear marker allele (CAG::H2B-mKO2).

Retinoic acid induces human gastruloids with posterior embryo-like structures

Project description:Gastruloids are a powerful in vitro model of early human development. However, although elongated and composed of all three germ layers, human gastruloids do not morphologically resemble post-implantation human embryos. Here we show that an early pulse of retinoic acid (RA), together with later Matrigel, robustly induces human gastruloids with posterior embryo-like morphological structures, including a neural tube flanked by segmented somites, and diverse cell types including neural crest, neural progenitors, renal progenitors, and myocytes. Through in silico staging based on single-cell RNA-seq (scRNA-seq), we find that human RA-gastruloids progress further than other human or mouse embryo models, aligning to E9.5 mouse and CS11 cynomolgus monkey embryos. We leverage chemical and genetic perturbations of RA-gastruloids to confirm that WNT and BMP signalling regulate somite formation and neural tube length in the human context, while transcription factors TBX6 and PAX3 underpin presomitic mesoderm and neural crest, respectively. Looking forward, RA-gastruloids are a robust, scalable model for decoding early human embryogenesis.
