Notochord and axial progenitor generation by timely BMP and NODAL inhibition during vertebrate trunk formation (human 3D)

ABSTRACT: The formation of the vertebrate body is driven by the progressive and coordinated production of trunk tissues from pools of progenitors located in the posterior of the embryo. Aspects of this process are recapitulated by in vitro models based on pluripotent stem cells (PSCs). However, these models lack several tissue components normally found in the vertebrate trunk. Most strikingly, the notochord, a hallmark of chordates and the source of midline signals that pattern surrounding tissues, is absent from current models of human trunk formation. To investigate how trunk tissue is formed, we performed single-cell transcriptomic analysis of chick embryos. This delineated molecularly discrete progenitor populations, which we spatially locate in the embryo and relate to signalling activity. Guided by this map, we determined how a stereotypical spatial organization of tissue types arises in differentiating human PSCs. This involved LATS1/2 mediated repression of YAP activity facilitating WNT signalling, that, together with FGF mediated ERK1/2 activation, induces the transcription factor Bra/TBXT. In addition, timely inhibition of a WNT-induced NODAL and BMP signalling cascade regulates the proportions of different tissue types produced, including notochordal cells. We exploit this to develop an integrated 3D model of human notochord and neural tissue formation. Together the data provide insight into the mechanisms responsible for the formation of the tissues that comprise the vertebrate trunk and pave the way for future studies of patterning in a tissue-like environment.

Regulation of posterior body and ectodermal morphogenesis in zebrafish by localized Yap1 and Wwtr1

Project description:The vertebrate embryo undergoes a series of dramatic morphological changes as the body extends to form the complete anterior-posterior axis during the somite-forming stages. The molecular mechanisms regulating these complex processes are still largely unknown. We show that the Hippo pathway transcriptional coactivators Yap1 and Wwtr1 are specifically localized to the ectoderm and notochord, and play a critical and unexpected role in posterior body extension by regulating the assembly of Fibronectin underneath the ectoderm and surrounding the notochord. We also find that Yap1/Wwtr1, also acting through Fibronectin, have an essential role in the ectodermal morphogenesis necessary to form the initial dorsal and ventral fins, a process that had been thought to involve bending of an epithelial sheet, but which we now show involves active cell migration. Our results reveal how the Hippo pathway transcriptional program, localized to two specific tissues, acts to control essential morphological events in the vertebrate embryo.

Transcription profiling of Xenopus laevis developing notochord

Project description:We screened for differentially expressed genes in the developing notochord using the Affymetrix microarray system in Xenopus laevis. At late gastrula, we dissected four regions from the embryo, anterior mesoderm, posterior mesoderm, notochord and presomitic mesoderm. Three types of comparison were carried out to generate a list of predominantly notochord expressed genes: (1) Posterior mesoderm vs. anterior mesoderm; notochord genes are expected to be increased since the notochord is located in the posterior mesoderm. (2) Posterior mesoderm vs. whole embryos; notochord genes are expected to be increased. (3) Notochord vs. somite. This comparison sub-divided the group of posterior mesodermal genes identified in (1) and (2). All tissues are dissected using tungsten needles. We first dissected dorsal tissue above the archenteron from late gastrula to early neurula. To loosen tissue, we treated the dissected dorsal explant in a 1% cysteine solution (pH 7.4) and removed the neuroectodermal layer. Anterior mesoderm was dissected corresponding to about the anterior one-third of the archenteron roof, and the rest was collected as posterior mesoderm. The posterior mesodermal explant was dissected into notochord and somites, following a clearly visible border between the two tissues. The accuracy of all dissection was confirmed by RT-PCR of marker genes.

Molecular events controlling cessation of trunk neural crest migration and onset of differentiation

Project description:Neural crest cells migrate extensively in vertebrate embryos to populate diverse derivatives including ganglia of the peripheral nervous system. Little is known about the molecular mechanisms that tell migrating trunk neural crest cells to settle at selected sites in the embryo by ceasing migration and initiating differentiation programs.

Self-organizing models of human trunk organogenesis recapitulate spinal cord and spine co-morphogenesis [TOMO-seq]

Project description:Integrated in vitro models of human organogenesis are needed to elucidate the multi-systemic events underlying development and disease. We report the generation of human trunk-like structures that model the co-morphogenesis, patterning, and differentiation of the human spine and spinal cord. We identified differentiation conditions for human pluripotent stem cells favoring the formation of an embryo-like extending antero-posterior (AP) axis. Single cell and spatial transcriptomics show that somitic and spinal cord differentiation trajectories organize along this axis and can self-assemble into neural tubes surrounded by somites upon extracellular matrix addition. Morphogenesis is coupled with AP patterning mechanisms which results, at later stages of organogenesis, in in vivo-like arrays of neural subtypes along a neural tube surrounded by spine and muscle progenitors contacted by neuronal projections. This integrated system of trunk development indicates that in vivo-like multi-tissue morphogenesis and topographic organization of terminal cell types can be achieved in human organoids, opening windows for the development of more complex models of organogenesis.
