Cross-activation of the FGF, TGF- and WNT pathways constrains BMP4-mediated induction of the Totipotent state in mouse embryonic stem cells.

ABSTRACT: Cell signaling induced cell fate determination is central to stem cell and developmental biology. Embryonic stem cells (ESC) are an attractive model for understanding the relationship between cell signaling and cell fates. Cultured mouse ESCs can exist in multiple cell states resembling distinct stages of early embryogenesis, such as Totipotent, Pluripotent, Primed and Primitive Endoderm. The signaling mechanisms regulating the Totipotent state acquisition and coexistence of these states are poorly understood. Here we identify BMP4 as an inducer of the Totipotent state. However, we discovered that BMP4-mediated induction of the Totipotent state is constrained by the cross-activation of FGF, TGF- and WNT pathways. We exploited this finding to enhance the proportion of Totipotent cells in ESCs by rationally inhibiting these cross-activated pathways using small molecules. Single-cell mRNA-sequencing further revealed that induction of the Totipotent state is accompanied by the suppression of both the Primed and Primitive Endoderm states. Furthermore, the reprogrammed Totipotent cells generated in culture have a molecular and functional resemblance to Totipotent cell stages of preimplantation embryos. Our findings reveal a novel BMP4 signaling mechanism in ESCs to regulate multiple cell states, potentially significant for managing stem cell heterogeneity in differentiation and reprogramming.

Differentiation to extra-embryonic primitive endoderm from naïve human ESCs on mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) or laminin-511 (LN511) substrates

Project description:Embryonic stem cells (ESCs) can exist in at least two states that transcriptionally resemble different stages of embryonic development. Naïve ESCs resemble peri-implantation stages and primed ESCs the pre-gastrulation epiblast. In mouse, primed ESCs give rise to definitive endoderm in response to pathways downstream of Nodal and Wnt signalling. However, when these cytokines are applied to naïve ESCs, they differentiate to a cell type that approximates early primitive endoderm (PrE), the blastocyst stage progenitor layer that gives rise to the extra-embryonic endoderm. Here, we apply this context dependency to human ESCs, showing that these cytokines drive the differentiation of naïve pluripotent cells to generate extra-embryonic PrE, or hypoblast, and, as in mouse, expanded as an in vitro model for naïve extra-embryonic endoderm (nEnd) in defined conditions. Consistent with observations made in mouse, human PrE differentiation is dependent on FGF signalling in vitro, and we show, that by inhibiting FGF receptor signalling, we could simplify naïve pluripotent culture such that inhibitor requirements closer resembled those used in mouse. These nEnd cultures represent stable extra-embryonic endoderm, or human hypoblast, cell lines.

NANOG-OCT4-SOX2 Regulatory Module in Human Embryonic Stem Cells (dataset 2)

Project description:The transcription factors Nanog, Oct4 and Sox2 are the master regulators of pluripotency in mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs), however, their functions in human ESCs (hESCs) have not been rigorously defined. Here we show that the requirements for NANOG, OCT4 and SOX2 in hESCs differ from those in mESCs. Both NANOG and OCT4 are required for self-renewal and repress differentiation. OCT4 controls both extraembryonic and epiblast-derived cell fates in a BMP4-dependent manner. OCT4-depleted hESCs commit to trophectoderm and primitive endoderm in the presence of BMP4, but undergo neuroectoderm differentiation in the absence of BMP4. NANOG represses neuroectoderm and neural crest commitment, but has little or no effect on the other lineages. We find that SOX2 is not required for self-renewal because it is redundant with SOX3, which is induced in SOX2-depleted hESCs. Simultaneous depletion of both SOX2 and SOX3 induces differentiation into the primitive streak. Unexpectedly, we identify significant variability in the usage of pluripotency factors by individual hESC lines, suggesting that the pluripotency network is remodelled to support a continuum of developmental states. Our study revises the general view of how NANOG, OCT4 and SOX2 orchestrate self-renewal in hESCs. Total RNA obtained from hESCs with or without BMP4 treatment for 8 days time course.

Cell fate decision by a morphogen-transcription factor-chromatin modifier axis

Project description:Bulk RNA-sequences show the differences upon primitive endoderm cell related gene expression between JGES induced somatic cell reprogramming with or without BMP4 treatment, and between WT-SALL4 or delN12-SALL4 induced transdifferentiation from E13.5 mouse embryonic fibroblasts, primitive endoderm cell related gene are from our single cell RNA sequence data So as to estimate the chromatin remodeling differences between SALL4-WT and SALL4-delN12 during single factor induced PrE formation, we performed Tn5 dependent ATAC-sequence to compare the open and close chromatin of the two group. In order to identify the bingding differences of SALL4 and H3K27ac level diversity between SALL4-WT and SALL4-delN12 on PrE related genes, wo performed CUTandTAG experiments. Single cell analysis provides clarity unattainable with bulk approaches. Here we apply single cell RNA-seq to a newly established mouse somatic cell reprogramming system with or without BMP4 treatment at Day 7, this reprogramming system are induced by four transcriptional factors Jdp2-Glis1-Esrrb-Sall4 or JGES and cultured in iCD3. We first show that cells could be clustered into four group, primitive endoderm cell like cells, pluripotent cells, endothelial cells, and intermediate state cells which are hard to be clarified, after BMP4 treatment, a placenta-like state arise, the percentage of endothelial cells and primitive endoderm cell like cells increase and pluripotent cells decrease sharply. Our results not only show the ability of JGES and BMP4 in different cell lineage induction but also provide a model to explore mechanisms of first and second cell lineage decision during early embryogenesis.

BMP4 signalling directs primitive endoderm-derived XEN cells to an extraembryonic visceral endoderm identity

Project description:The visceral endoderm (VE) is an epithelial tissue in the early postimplantation mouse embryo that encapsulates the pluripotent epiblast distally and the extraembryonic ectoderm proximally. In addition to facilitating nutrient exchange before the establishment of a circulation, the VE is critical for patterning the epiblast. Since VE is derived from the primitive endoderm (PrE) of the blastocyst, and PrE-derived eXtraembryonic ENdoderm (XEN) cells can be propagated in vitro, XEN cells should provide an important tool for identifying factors that direct VE differentiation. In this study, we demonstrated that BMP4 signalling induces the formation of a polarized epithelium in XEN cells. This morphological transition was reversible, and was associated with the acquisition of a molecular signature comparable to extraembryonic (ex) VE. Resembling exVE which will form the endoderm of the visceral yolk sac, BMP4-treated XEN cells regulated hematopoiesis by stimulating the expansion of primitive erythroid progenitors. We also observed that LIF exerted an antagonistic effect on BMP4-induced XEN cell differentiation, thereby impacting the extrinsic conditions used for the isolation and maintenance of XEN cells in an undifferentiated state. Taken together, our data suggest that XEN cells can be differentiated towards an exVE identity upon BMP4 stimulation, and therefore represent a valuable tool for investigating PrE lineage differentiation. Total RNA isolated in triplicate from XEN stem cell cultures that were untreated (samples 1-3) or treated with BMP4 growth factor (samples 4-6). Total RNA isolated in triplicate from XEN stem cells that were treated with BMP4 and were flow sorted as Afp::GFP-positive (samples 7-9) or Afp::GFP-negative (samples 10-12).

Expression data from mouse embryonic stem cells across a time course of Erk stimulation

Project description:Fgf signaling via Erk activation has been associated with both neural induction and the generation of a primed state for the differentiation of embryonic stem cells (ESCs) to all somatic lineages. To dissect the role of Erk in both ESC self-renewal and lineage specification we explore the requirements for this pathway in various in vitro differentiation settings. A combination of pharmacological inhibition of Erk signaling and genetic loss of function experiments reveal a role for Erk signaling in suppressing endodermal differentiation, but not neural specification. Activation of Erk signaling in ESCs de-represses primitive endoderm (PrE) gene expression as a consequence of inhibiting the pluripotent/epiblast network. The early response to Erk activation correlates with functional PrE priming while sustained Erk activity results in PrE differentiation. Taken together, our results suggest that Erk signaling suppresses pluripotent gene expression to enable endodermal differentiation. We use microarray analysis to determine the transcription response to Erk1/2 in mouse embryonic stem cells across a 24 hour window of time Mouse ESCs carrying a tamoxifen inducible constitutively active c-Raf fusion protein were stimulated for 6 time points (30minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, 4 hours, 8 hours, and 24 hours) in the presence of 250nM PD173074. Uninduced (0h hours) and DMSO only treated cells served as controls.

Extensive protein group SUMO modification of repressive chromatin factors distinguishes pluripotent from somatic cells

Project description:Post-translational modification by SUMO is a key regulator of cell identity. In mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs), SUMO impedes reprogramming to pluripotency, while in embryonic stem cells (ESCs), it represses the emergence of totipotent-like cells, suggesting that SUMO targets distinct substrates to preserve somatic and pluripotent states. Using MS-based proteomics, we show that the composition of endogenous SUMOylomes differs dramatically between MEFs and ESCs. In MEFs, SUMO2/3 targets proteins associated with canonical SUMO functions, such as splicing, and transcriptional regulators driving somatic enhancer selection. In contrast, in ESCs, SUMO2/3 primarily modifies highly interconnected repressive chromatin complexes, thereby preventing chromatin opening and transitioning to totipotent-like states. We also characterize several SUMO-modified pluripotency factors and show that SUMOylation of Dppa2 and Dppa4 impedes the conversion to 2-cell-embryo-like states. Altogether, we propose that rewiring the repertoire of SUMO target networks is a major driver of cell fate decision during embryonic development.
