TBXT dose sensitivity and the decoupling of mesoderm specification from EMT progression in 2D human gastruloids

ABSTRACT: In the nascent mesoderm, levels of Brachyury (TBXT) expression must be precisely regulated to ensure cells exit the primitive streak and pattern the anterior-posterior axis, but how this varying dosage informs morphogenesis is not well understood. In this study, we define the transcriptional consequences of TBXT dose during early gastrulation using human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC)-based models of early gastrulation and mesoderm differentiation. Multiomic single-nucleus RNA and single-nucleus ATAC sequencing reveal that TBXT is required for the temporal progression of epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in a dose-dependent manner and that this transition occurs independently of the acquisition of mesodermal identity. These results demonstrate that EMT can be decoupled from mesoderm development in the early gastrula and shed light on the mechanisms underlying human embryogenesis.

Inhibition of histone H3K27 demethylases inactivates brachyury (TBXT) and promotes chordoma cell death [RNA-Seq I]

Project description:The expression of transcription factor brachyury (TBXT) is normally restricted to embryonic development and its silencing after mesoderm development is epigenetically regulated. In chordoma, a rare tumour of notochordal differentiation, TBXT acts as a putative oncogene, and we hypothesised that its expression could be contolled through epigenetic inhibition. Screening of five chordoma cell lines revealed that inhibitors of the histone 3 lysine 27 demethylases KDM6A (UTX) and KDM6B (Jmjd3) reduce TBXT expression and lead to cell death, findings validated in primary patient-derived culture systems. Pharmacological inhibition was phenocopied by genetic inactivation of KDM4/B using CRISPR/Cas9. Transcriptional profiles in response to a novel KDM6A/B inhibitor, KDOBA67, revealed downregulation of critical genes and transcription factor networks for chordoma survival pathways, characterised by paired and homeobox genes, whereas upregulated pathways are dominated by stress, cell cycle and pro-apoptotic response pathways. This study supports previous data showing that the function of TBXT is essential for maintaining notochord cell fate and function and provides further evidence that TBXT is an oncogenic driver in chordoma. The data suggest that TBXT can potentially be targeted therapeutically by modulating epigenetic control mechanisms such as H3K27 demethylases.

CDX2 dose-dependently influences the GRN underlying vascularization in human extraembryonic mesoderm-like cells

Project description:Proper regulation of gene dosage is critical for the development of the early embryo and the extraembryonic tissues that support it. Specifically, loss of Cdx2 in vivo leads to stunted development of the allantois, an extraembryonic mesoderm-derived structure that is critical for nutrient delivery and waste removal in the early embryo. In this study, we investigate how CDX2 dose-dependently influences the gene regulatory network underlying extraembryonic mesoderm development. By generating an allelic series for CDX2 in human induced pluripotent stem cells consisting of WT, heterozygous, and null CDX2 genotypes, differentiating these cells in a 2D gastruloid model, and subjecting these cells to multiomic single nucleus RNA and ATAC sequencing, we identify several genes regulating cytoskeletal integrity, adhesiveness, and polarity of the extraembryonic mesoderm and in a dose-dependent manner, including CDH1 and WNT5B. Despite these dose-dependent gene expression patterns, snATAC-seq reveals that heterozygous CDX2 expression is capable of inducing a WT-like chromatin accessibility profile, suggesting accessibility is not sufficient to drive gene expression when the CDX2 dose is reduced. Finally, because the loss of CDX2 or TBXT phenocopy one another in vivo, we compare differentially expressed genes in our CDX2 knock-out model to those from TBXT knock-out hiPSCs differentiated in an analogous experiment. This comparison identifies several genes critical for cytoskeletal integrity and vasculogenesis, including ANK3 and ANGPT1. Taken together, these results inform how CDX2 dose-dependently regulates gene expression in the extraembryonic mesoderm and suggest these genes may underlie defects in vascular development and allantoic elongation seen in the absence or reduction of CDX2 in vivo.

Inhibition of histone H3K27 demethylases inactivates brachyury (TBXT) and promotes chordoma cell death (ChIP-seq)

Project description:Expression of the transcription factor brachyury (TBXT) is normally restricted to the embryo and its silencing is epigenetically regulated. TBXT promotes mesenchymal transition in a subset of common carcinomas, and in chordoma, a rare cancer showing notochordal differentiation, TBXT acts as a putative oncogene: we hypothesised that TBXT expression could be controlled through epigenetic inhibition to promote chordoma cell death. Screening of five human chordoma cell lines revealed that pharmacological inhibition of the histone 3 lysine 27 demethylases KDM6A (UTX) and KDM6B (JMJD3) leads to cell death. This effect was phenocopied by the dual genetic inactivation of KDM6A/B using CRISPR/Cas9. Inhibition of KDM6A/B using a novel compound, KDOBA67, led to a genome-wide increase in repressive H3K27me3 marks, with concomitant reduction in H3K27ac, H3K9ac and H3K4me3 active marks. We show that TBXT is a KDM6A/B target gene, and that changes in the chromatin at TBXT following KDOBA67 treatment were associated with a reduction in TBXT protein levels in all models tested, including primary patient-derived cultures. KDOBA67 downregulated also the expression of a network of transcription factors critical for chordoma survival, whereas upregulated pathways were dominated by ATF4-driven stress and pro-apoptotic responses in all models. Blocking the AFT4-stress response did not prevent the suppression of TBXT and induction of cell death, but viability was increased by ectopic overexpression of TBXT, therefore implicating TBXT as potential therapeutic target of H3K27 demethylases inhibitors. Our work highlights how knowledge of normal processes in fetal development can provide insight into tumourigenesis and identify novel therapeutic approaches.

Mouse embryonic RNA-seq

Project description:The study was aimed at interrogating the early stages of blood cell development within the embryo. Blood develops from mesoderm, which is specified at gastrulation. We therefore sorted cells from mouse embryos between E6.5 and E7.75 to capture gastrulation and the emergence of mesoderm, followed by specificiation of the first mature blood cells.

A single-cell atlas of pig gastrulation as a resource for comparative embryology

Project description:The bilaminar disc of early pig embryos closely mirrors that of humans making it a powerful model for studying gastrulation. Given the difficulties obtaining embryos in non-rodents, early cell-fate decisions during mammalian gastrulation remain ill-understood. Here we present a single-cell transcriptomic atlas of pig gastrulation and early organogenesis. We uncover the dynamics of cell fate emergence during pig peri-gastrulation and reveal conserved and species-specific transcriptional programs across different mammals. Combined with investigations in embryos and embryonic stem cells, we elucidate the spatial, molecular, and temporal events during definitive endoderm (DE) formation. We show that early FOXA2+ epiblast progenitors become DE without undergoing epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition, contrasting later emerging FOXA2/TBXT+ anterior primitive streak, which form node/notochord progenitors. We demonstrate that DE fate is driven by hypoblast-derived NODAL signalling, which is extinguished upon DE differentiation. These findings highlight the interplay between temporal and topological signalling during early cell fate decisions during mammalian gastrulation.

A Hedgehog-FGF signaling axis patterns anterior mesoderm during gastrulation

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.

Decoupling of degradation from deadenylation reshapes poly(A) tail length in yeast meiosis

Project description:Nascent mRNA is endowed with a poly(A) tail, which is subject to gradual deadenylation in the cytoplasm, followed by mRNA degradation. Deadenylation and degradation rates are typically correlated, rendering it difficult to dissect the individual determinants governing each of these processes. In addition, the mechanistic basis for the coupling between deadenylation and degradation and the extent to which the two can be decoupled are largely unknown. Here we developed an approach allowing systematic, robust and multiplexed quantification of poly(A) tails. Our results suggest that in yeast, exclusively during meiosis, mRNA deadenylation and degradation rates are decoupled. The decoupled regime in meiosis allowed us to discover transcript length as a major determinant of deadenylation rates and as a key contributor to the reshaping of poly(A) tail lengths in meiosis. The meiosis-specific decoupling also led to unique positive associations between poly(A) tail length and gene expression. The decoupling of degradation from deadenylation is also strongly associated with a focal localization pattern of the RNA degradation factor Xrn1 and can be phenocopied by deletion of Xrn1 under non-meiotic conditions. Importantly, the association of transcript length with deadenylation rates is conserved across eukaryotes. This study uncovers a new factor that shapes deadenylation rate and discovers a unique context in which degradation is decoupled from deadenylation.
