The asymmetric expression of HSPA2 in blastomeres governs the first embryonic cell-fate decision

ABSTRACT: The first cell fate decision is the process by which cells of an embryo take on distinct lineage identities for the first time, thus representing the beginning of developmental patterning. Here, we demonstrate that the molecular chaperone heat shock protein A2 (HSPA2), a member of the 70 kDa heat shock protein (HSP70) family, is asymmetrically expressed in the late 2-cell stage of mouse embryos. The knockdown of Hspa2 in one of the two-cell blastomeres prevented its progeny predominantly toward the inner cell mass (ICM) fate, thus indicating that the differential distribution of HSPA2 in the blastomeres of two-cell embryos can influence the selection of embryonic cell lineages. In contrast, the overexpression of Hspa2 in one of the two-cell blastomeres did not induce blastomeres to differentiate towards the ICM fate. Furthermore, we demonstrated that HSPA2 forms a complex with CARM1 and activates ICM-specific gene expression. Collectively, our data identify HSPA2 as a critical regulator of the first cell fate decision which specifies the ICM via the execution of commitment and differentiation phases.

Cell fate inclination within 2-cell and 4-cell mouse embryos revealed by single-cell RNA sequencing

Project description:It remains an open question when and how the first cell fate decision is made in mammals. Using deep single-cell RNA-seq of matched sister blastomeres, we report highly reproducible interblastomere differences among ten 2-cell and five 4-cell mouse embryos. Inter-blastomere gene expression differences dominated between-embryo differences and noises, and were sufficient to cluster sister blastomeres into distinct groups. Dozens of protein-coding genes exhibited reproducible bimodal expression in sister blastomeres (0 vs. 1e3-1e6 of FPKM), which cannot be explained by random fluctuations. The protein expression of one of these bimodal genes, Gadd45a, exhibited clear inter-blastomeric contrasts. We traced some of the bimodal mRNA expressions to embryonic genome activation, and others to blastomere-specific RNA depletion. Inter-blastomere differences created co-expression gene networks that were much stronger and larger than those that can be possibly created by random noises. The highly correlated gene pairs at the 4-cell overlapped with those showing the same directions of differential expression between inner cell mass (ICM) and trophectoderm (TE). These data substantiate the hypothesis of inter-blastomere differences in 2- and 4-cell mouse embryos, and associate these differences with ICM/TE differences. 9 zygotes, 10 2-cell, and 5 4-cell mouse (C57BL/6) embryos were collected and multi-cell embryos were separated into blastomeres. 4 inner cell mass (ICM) and 3 trophectoderm (TE) samples are also extracted from mouse blastocysts. Transcriptome profiles for all samples are obtained via Smart-seq protocol.

Altered Subcellular Localization of Transcription Factor TEAD4 Regulates First Mammalian Cell Lineage Commitment

Project description:In the preimplantation mouse embryo TEAD4 is critical to establishing the trophectoderm (TE)-specific transcriptional program and segregating TE from the inner cell mass (ICM). However, TEAD4 is expressed both in the TE and the ICM. Thus, differential function of TEAD4 rather than expression itself regulates specification of the first two cell lineages. We used ChIP-seq to define genome-wide TEAD4 target genes and asked how transcription of TEAD4 target genes is specifically maintained in the TE. Our analyses revealed an evolutionarily conserved mechanism, in which lack of nuclear localization of TEAD4 impairs the TE-specific transcriptional program in inner blastomeres, thereby allowing their maturation towards the ICM lineage. Restoration of TEAD4 nuclear localization maintains the TE-specific transcriptional program in the inner blastomeres and prevents segregation of the TE and ICM lineages and blastocyst formation. We propose that altered subcellular localization of TEAD4 in blastomeres dictates first mammalian cell fate specification.

Expression data from Human Pre-implantation embryos

Project description:Little is understood of the molecular mechanisms involved in the earliest cell fate decision in human development, leading to the establishment of the preimplantation embryo’s outer trophectoderm (TE) layer, involved in implantation, while maintaining the inner cell mass (ICM) stem cell population. Using multiple systems biology approaches to compare developmental stages in the early human embryo with single cell transcript data from blastomeres, we have shown that blastomeres considered to be totipotent are not transcriptionally equivalent. Furthermore we have linked the developmental interactome to individual blastomeres and to later cell lineage. This new understanding has clinical implications for understanding the impact of fertility treatments and developmental programming of long term health.

Human Stem Cells from Single Blastomeres Reveal Pathways of Embryonic or Trophoblast Fate Specification.

Project description:Mechanisms of initial cell fate decisions differ among species. To gain insights into lineage allocation in humans, we derived ten human embryonic stem cell lines from single blastomeres of four 8-cell embryos and one 12-cell embryo from a single couple (UCSFB1-10). Versus numerous conventional lines from blastocysts, they had unique gene expression and DNA methylation patterns, in part, indicative of trophoblast competence. At a transcriptional level, UCSFB lines from different embryos were often more closely related than those from the same embryo. As predicted by the transcriptomic data, immunolocalization of EOMES, BRACHYURY, GDF15 and active β-catenin revealed differential expression among blastomeres of 8-10-cell human embryos. The UCSFB lines formed derivatives of the three germ layers and CDX2-positive progeny, from which we derived the first human trophoblast stem cell line. Our data suggest heterogeneity among early-stage blastomeres and that the UCSFB lines have unique properties, indicative of a more immature state than conventional lines.

Defining Cell Fate And Embryonic Genome Activation By Global Single-Cell cDNA Analysis of Blastomeres From 5-to 8-Cell Human Embryos.

Project description:To determine blastomere fate and embryonic genome activation (EGA) at 5- to 8-cell stage human embryos by global gene expression profile of amplified cDNA from blastomeres at the single cell level Forty-nine blastomeres from 5-, 6- and 8-cell human embryos were analyzed through whole genome wide analysis following an efficient cDNA amplification protocol (Kurimoto et al., 2007) with slight modifications. Single biopsied blastomeres were also compared with two amplified inner cell masses and two trophectoderms from blastocysts.

Zebrafish early embryos isolated nuclei and whole blastomeres LC-MSMS

Project description:Nuclear pore complex (NPC) structure and maturity changed during early development before MBT in zebrafish embryos. Aiming to further confirm the difference of NPCs among different stages during MZT, we first isolated nuclei from 32-cell and 512-cell stage embryos as most zygotic genes have not been transcribed at these two stages yet. The lysates from identical number (about 12,500 nuclei per stage) isolated nuclei were then trypsin-digested and fractionated, followed by high-resolution LC-MS/MS analysis on the Q-Exactive HF-X mass spectrometers using a label-free assay. Whole blastomeres from 32-cell and 512-cell were also prepared with yolk removal to serve as total protein profile control, and the same amount lysates were analyzed by high-resolution LC-MS/MS with TMT labelled. Each sample for MS analysis had two repeats. Correlation analysis revealed that the abundance ratio from isolated Nuclei and whole deyolking balstomeres did not correlate well, but samples in Nuclei or Whole blastomeres were well correlated. This result indicates the convincible sample preparation as well as the variability in nuclei composition in early developmental period before MBT.

Single cell analysis of sister blastomeres of parthenogenetic 2-cell mouse embryos respecting pair associations

Project description:Following fertilization in mammals, it is generally accepted that totipotent cells are exclusive to the zygote and to each of the two blastomeres originating from the first mitotic division. We counter that this classic view needs to be revised, because we have presented compelling evidence that the sister blastomeres are both totipotent in only a subset of 2-cell stage mouse embryos (PMID 28811525). Building on our previous findings, we here ask the question if the interblastomere differences depend - at least in part - on the contribution of sperm, since the area of sperm entry is inherited preferentially by one blastomere. To this end, we created sister 2-cell stage blastomeres without sperm entry point, by parthenogenesis. We compare the transcriptomes of the sister blastomeres, to see if the interblastomere mRNA differences observed after fertilization (GSE94050) are still there when the sperm entry point is missing.
