HypoSUMOylation in embryonic stem cells generates head-and-trunk embryo-like structure [RNA-Seq]

ABSTRACT: Recent advances in synthetic mammalian embryo models have opened new avenues to understand the complex events controlling lineage decisions and morphogenetic processes occurring during peri-implantation and early organogenesis. Two main strategies have been developed to build embryo-like structures (ELS): by assembling extraembryonic and embryonic stem cells (ESCs) or by subjecting ESCs to various morphogens. Here, we show that mouse ESCs solely exposed to chemical inhibition of SUMOylation, a posttranslational modification which acts as a general barrier to cell-fate transitions, generates early ELSs comprising both anterior neural and trunk-associated regions. HypoSUMOylated ESCs give rise to adherent spheroids which, once in suspension, self-organize into gastrulating structures containing cell types spatially and functionally related to embryonic and extraembryonic compartments. Alternatively, spheroids cultured in an optimized droplet-microfluidic device form elongated structures characterized by a multi-axial organization reminiscent of natural embryo morphogenesis. Single-cell RNA-sequencing further revealed a variety of cellular lineages including properly positioned anterior neuronal cell types, Schwann cell precursors and paraxial mesoderm segmented into somite-like structures. Mechanistically, transient SUMOylation suppression gradually increases DNA methylation genome-wide and repressive marks deposition at Nanog, enhancing ESC plasticity. Our approach provides a proof of principle for a potential new strategy to study early embryogenesis by targeting reprogramming roadblocks to shape multicellular architecture.

HypoSUMOylation in embryonic stem cells generate head-trunk embryo-like structures [scRNAseq]

Project description:Numerous models of synthetic embryos have recently been established to simulate mammalian development. Two main strategies have been developed to build mouse or human embryo-like structures (ELS): by assembling embryonic and extraembryonic stem cells or by challenging embryonic stem cells (ESCs) with a pulse of WNT agonist. However, both models did not fully recapitulate early organogenesis, particularly the emergence of brain derivatives. SUMOylation was recently identified as a general barrier to cell fate transitions. Here, we show that mouse ESCs exposed to a small-molecule inhibitor of SUMOylation alone generate adherent spheroids which, once in suspension, self-organize in gastrulating structures containing cell types spatially and functionally-related to embryonic and extraembryonic compartments. Alternatively, spheroids cultured in an optimized droplet-microfluidic device form elongated ELS characterized by a multi-axial organization of the body plan reminiscent of natural embryo morphogenesis. Single-cell transcriptomics further revealed various cell types including anterior neuronal cell types, Schwann cell precursors and somites. Mechanistically, transient SUMOylation repression gradually increases the global level of DNA methylation, which in turn represses transcription of Nanog and other pluripotency-associated genes, enhancing cellular plasticity of ESCs. Our morphogen-free protocol constitutes a new facet to study regulative mechanisms of early development by targeting reprogramming roadblocks to shape multicellular architecture.

Brief suppression of SUMOylation in embryonic stem cells generates embryo-like structures

Project description:Recent advances in synthetic mammalian embryo models have opened new avenues to understand the complex events controlling lineage specification and morphogenetic processes occurring during peri-implantation and early organogenesis. Two main strategies have been developed to build embryo-like structures (ELSs): by assembling extraembryonic and embryonic stem cells (ESCs) or by subjecting ESCs to various morphogens. Here, we show that mouse ESCs solely exposed to chemical inhibition of SUMOylation, a post-translational modification which acts as a general chromatin barrier to cell fate transitions, generates ELSs comprising both anterior neural and trunk-associated regions. HypoSUMOylation-instructed ESCs first give rise to adherent spheroids which, once in suspension, self-organize into gastrulating structures containing cell types spatially and functionally related to embryonic and extraembryonic compartments. Alternatively, spheroids cultured in an optimized droplet-microfluidic device form elongated structures that undergo axial organization reminiscent of natural embryo morphogenesis. Single-cell RNA-sequencing further revealed a variety of cellular lineages including properly positioned anterior neuronal cell types, Schwann cell precursors and paraxial mesoderm segmented into somite-like structures. Mechanistically, transient SUMOylation suppression gradually increases DNA methylation genome-wide and repressive marks deposition at Nanog, enhancing ESC plasticity. Our approach provides a proof of principle for a potential strategy to study early embryogenesis by targeting molecular roadblocks of cell fate change to shape multicellular architecture.

Mouse embryo model derived exclusively from embryonic stem cells undergoes neurulation and heart development

Project description:Several in vitro models have been developed to recapitulate mouse embryogenesis solely from embryonic stem cells (ESCs). Despite mimicking many aspects of early development, they fail to capture the interactions between embryonic and extraembryonic tissues. To overcome this difficulty, we have developed a mouse ESC-based in vitro model that reconstitutes the pluripotent ESC lineage and the two extra-embryonic lineages of the post-implantation embryo by transcription factor-mediated induction. This unified model recapitulates developmental events from embryonic day 5.5 to 8.5, including gastrulation, and formation of the anterior-posterior axis, brain, a beating heart structure, and the development of extraembryonic tissues, including yolk sac and chorion. Comparing single-cell RNA sequencing from individual structures with time-matched natural embryos identified remarkably similar transcriptional programs across lineages, but also showed when and where the model diverges from the natural program. Our findings demonstrate an extraordinary plasticity of ESCs to self-organize and generate a whole embryo-like structure.

Induction of Rosette-to-Lumen stage embryoids using reprogramming paradigms in ESCs

Project description:Blastocyst-derived stem cell lines were shown to self-organize into embryo-like structures in 3D cell culture environments. Here, we provide evidence that embryo-like structures can be generated solely based on transcription factor-mediated reprogramming of embryonic stem cells in a simple 3D co-culture system. Embryonic stem cells in these cultures self-organize into elongated, compartmentalized embryo-like structures reflecting aspects of the inner regions of the early post-implantation embryo. Single-cell RNA-seq reveals transcriptional profiles resembling epiblast, primitive-/visceral endoderm, and extraembryonic ectoderm of early murine embryos around E4.5–E5.5. In this stem cell-based embryo model, progression from rosette formation to lumenogenesis accompanied by progression from naïve- to primed pluripotency was observed within Epi-like cells. Additionally, lineage specification of primordial germ cells and distal/anterior visceral endoderm-like cells was observed in epiblast- or visceral endoderm-like compartments, respectively. The system presented in this study allows for fast and reproducible generation of embryo-like structures, providing an additional tool to study aspects of early embryogenesis.

Transgene directed induction of a human embryo model from pluripotent stem cells

Project description:The human embryo undergoes morphogenetic transformations following implantation into the uterus and yet our knowledge of this crucial stage is limited by the inability to observe the embryo in vivo. Here, we establish a stem cell-derived human post-implantation embryo model comprised of embryonic and extraembryonic tissues. Overexpression of the transcription factors GATA6 and SOX17 or GATA3 and AP2g in hESCs allowed us to generate hypoblast-like and trophoblast-like cells, respectively. We established conditions to combine these extraembryonic-like cells with wildtype embryonic stem cells and promote their self-organization into structures that mimic aspects of the post-implantation human embryo. These aggregates contain an inner pluripotent epiblast-like domain surrounded by both hypoblast- and trophoblast-like tissues. We show that this human embryo stem cell model robustly generates several cell types, including amnion-, extraembryonic mesenchyme- and primordial germ cell-like cells. Using perturbation experiments, we demonstrated that these populations arise in response to BMP signaling. This model also allowed us to identify an inhibitory role for SOX17 in the specification of anterior hypoblast-like cells. Modulation of the subpopulations in the hypoblast-like compartment demonstrated that these extraembryonic-like cells impact epiblast-like domain differentiation, highlighting functional tissue-tissue crosstalk. In conclusion, this modular, tractable model of the human embryo that includes both embryonic- and extraembryonic-like cells has the potential to probe key questions of human post-implantation development.

Establishment in Culture of Mouse Expanded Potential Stem Cells

Project description:The zygote and blastomeres of a cleavage stage mouse embryo have the capacity to differentiate to all lineages in the embryo proper and extraembryonic tissues and are considered totipotent. Mouse ESCs can differentiate to embryonic lineages but have restricted potential to trophoblasts. We report here that cultures of a new type of stem cells with expanded potential (EPSCs) can be established from in vitro cultured mouse preimplantation embryos and individual blastomeres, from directly converting mouse ESCs, or from genetically reprogramming somatic cells. EPSCs differentiate to trophoblasts in vitro, and a single EPSC contributes in chimeras to both extraembryonic lineages including the placenta trophoblasts and the embryo proper. Molecular analyses reveal that EPSCs express core pluripotency factors similar to ESCs, but have enriched signature of preimplantation blastomeres. The data described here suggest that similar cell lines from other mammalian species might also be established in culture and stably maintained.

Mouse complete embryoid development within a yolk sac recapitulates gastrulation, neurulation and early organogenesis

Project description:Embryo-like structures generated from stem cells can achieve varying developmental milestones, but none have been shown to progress through gastrulation, neurulation, and organogenesis. Here, we show that "ETiX" mouse embryoids, assembled from embryonic stem cells, trophoblast stem cells and inducible extraembryonic endoderm stem cells, can develop into gastrulating embryoids, and beyond to generate neurulating embryoids, which generate the progenitors needed to create the entire organism. The head-folds of ETiX neurulating embryoids show anterior expression of Otx2, defining forebrain and midbrain regions that resemble those of the natural mouse embryo. Neurulating embryoids also develop beating heart-like structures, trunks comprising a neural tube and somites, tail buds containing neuromesodermal progenitors and primordial germ cells, and gut tubes derived from definitive endoderm. Notably, neurulating embryoids also develop a yolk sac with blood islands. Overall, ETiX neurulating embryoid formation strongly resembles natural embryogenesis, advancing embryo-like development further than any other stem-cell derived model and within extra-embryonic membranes.
