VGLL1 cooperates with TEAD4 to control human trophectoderm lineage specification [scRNA-Seq]

ABSTRACT: In contrast to rodents, the mechanisms underlying human trophectoderm and early placenta specification are understudied due to ethical barriers and the scarcity of embryos. Recent reports have shown that human pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) can differentiate into trophectoderm (TE)-like cells (TELCs) and trophoblast stem cells (TSCs), offering a valuable in vitro model to study early placenta specification. Here, we demonstrate that the VGLL1 (vestigial-likefamilymember1), which is highly expressed during human and non-human primate TE specification in vivo but is negligibly expressed in mouse, is a critical regulator of cell fate determination and self-renewal in human TELCs and TSCs derived from naïve PSCs. Mechanistically, VGLL1 partners with the transcription factor TEAD4 (TEA domain transcription factor 4) to regulate chromatin accessibility at target gene loci through histone acetylation and acts in cooperation with GATA3 and TFAP2C. Our work is relevant to understand primate early embryogenesis and how it differs from other mammalian species.

VGLL1 regulates extraembryonic lineage specification in human [RNA-seq II]

Project description:Placenta abnormality is one of the key reasons for early pregnancy loss but the regulatory mechanisms underlying placenta formation are largely unknown. Here, we applied a human naïve pluripotent stem cell (PSC) derived TE model to explore the driven regulatory machinery. We demonstrate that VGLL1 (vestigiallikefamilymember1) is crucial for TE self-renewal and TE-specific gene expression, thus suppressing VGLL1 leads to severely impaired cell proliferation and skewed TE induction. VGLL1 exerts its function through interacting with TEAD4 (TEA domain transcription factor 4) and colocalize at target gene promoters and enhancers. Further investigation uncovers the enrichment of H3K27ac active histone marks at genomic regions occupied by VGLL1-TEAD4 complex, indicates a close association between them. Overall, our data reveals the critical function model of VGLL1-TEAD4 in human TE derivation, highlighting a potential interspecies difference between human and mouse TE induction.

Rif1 and Hmgn3 Regulate Conversion of Murine Trophoblast Stem Cells

Project description:The arising of trophectoderm (TE) is a hallmark event in preimplantation development during embryogenesis. However, little is known about the mechanisms underlying TE specification. Our findings demonstrate that depletion of Rif1 breaks down the barriers to conversion of trophoblast stem cells (TSCs). Rif1-null induced TSCs show typical TE properties, and differentiation potentials to terminal trophoblast lineages. Global transcriptome analysis reveals that Rif1-null activates 2-cell embryo (2C) related genes and induces a totipotent-like state, which is probably the main reason for the conversion of TSCs from Rif1-null embryonic stem cells (ESCs). Chimeric assays further confirm that Rif1-null ESCs can contribute to TE, further yielding TSCs in vitro. Over-expression of a downstream gene of Rif1, Hmgn3, can also activate 2C related genes and facilitate induction of TSCs. Here, we report two pioneer genes regulating conversion of TSCs and provide insights for investigating the mechanisms of TE specification.

Induction of human trophoblast stem-like cells from primed pluripotent stem cells

Project description:The placenta is a transient but important multifunctional organ crucial for healthy pregnancy for both mother and fetus. Nevertheless, limited access to human placenta samples and the paucity of a proper in vitro model system has hampered our understanding of the mechanisms underlying early human placental development and placenta-associated pregnancy complications. To overcome these constraints, we established a simple procedure with a short-term treatment of bone morphogenetic protein 4 (BMP4) in trophoblast stem cell culture medium (TSCM) to convert human primed pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) to trophoblast stem-like cells (TSLCs). These TSLCs show not only comparable morphology and gene expression profile to bona fide human trophoblast stem cells (TSCs) but also long-term self-renewal capacity with bipotency that allows the cells to differentiate into extravillous trophoblasts (EVT) and syncytiotrophoblasts (ST). These indicate that TSLCs are equivalent to genuine human TSCs. Our data suggest a straightforward approach to make human TSCs directly from pre-existing primed PSCs and provide a valuable opportunity to study human placenta development and pathology even from patients with placenta-related diseases.

Chemical conversion of human conventional Pluripotent Stem Cells to Trophoblast Stem Cells following transient naive genes activation.

Project description:In human embryos, naive pluripotent cells of the inner cell mass (ICM) generate epiblast, primitive endoderm and trophectoderm (TE) lineage, whence trophoblast cells derive. In vitro, naive pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) retain this potential and efficiently generate trophoblast stem cells (TSCs), while conventional PSCs form TSCs at low efficiency. Transient histone deacetylase and MEK inhibitions with LIF stimulation is used to chemically reset conventional to naive PSCs. Here we report that chemical resetting induces expression of both naive and TSC markers and of placental imprinted genes. A modified chemical resetting protocol allows for the fast and efficient conversion of conventional PSCs into TSCs, entailing shutdown of pluripotency genes and full activation of the trophoblast master regulators, without induction of amnion markers. Chemical resetting generates a plastic intermediate state, characterised by co-expression of naive and TSC markers, after which cells steer towards one of the two fates in response to the signalling environment. The efficiency and rapidity of our system will be useful to study cell fate transitions, and to generate models of placental disorders.

Development of an improved in vitro model of bovine trophectoderm differentiation

Project description:The mechanisms regulating early stages of placentation and trophectoderm differentiation in the ruminant conceptus remain poorly understood. Here we present a model of trophectoderm (TE) differentiation in vitro from outgrowths of individual in vitro derived embryos. Cell outgrowths expressed markers of mononucleate (MNC) and binucleate (BNC) TE cells. The percentage of BNC ranged from 14-39% in individual outgrowths as determined by flow cytometry. Pregnancy-associated glycoproteins (PAGs), produced by BNC, were measured in culture media on days 35 to 54. Continuous secretion of PAGs was observed and indicative of BNC functionality. Gene expression was evaluated in 20 embryo cell outgrowths derived from two different sires. Expression of HAND1, which is involved in TE differentiation, and CSH2, a BNC-specific gene, was altered in cell outgrowths between the two sires tested. Single-cell RNA-seq analysis of day 40 TE cell outgrowths revealed 11 distinct cell populations, with specific clusters genes involved in TE lineage specification, proliferation, and differentiation. In addition, whole -RNAseq analysis was performed in day 35 and 40 TE cell outgrowths and confirmed sustained expression of genes expressed by BNC, such as CSH2 and some PAGs. The developed in vitro bovine embryo outgrowth culture found evidence for MNC and BNC differentiation and continuous production of PAGs, recapitulating key features of early bovine placenta development. This model can be used to understand the developmental biology of TE cells, provide insights into paternal influences on TE differentiation, and impact our understanding of early pregnancy loss in cattle.
