MTOR activity paces human blastocyst stage developmental progression

ABSTRACT: Many mammals can temporally uncouple conception from parturition by pacing down their development around the blastocyst stage. In mice, this dormant state is achieved by decreasing the activity of the growth-regulating mTOR signaling pathway. It is unknown whether this ability is conserved in mammals in general and in humans in particular. Here we show that decreasing the activity of the mTOR signaling pathway induces human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) and blastoids to enter a dormant state with limited proliferation, developmental progression, and capacity to attach to endometrial cells. These in vitro assays show that, similar to other species, the ability to enter dormancy is active in human cells around the blastocyst stage and is reversible at both functional and molecular levels. The pacing of human blastocyst development has potential implications for reproductive therapies

mTOR activity paces human blastocyst stage developmental progression (data set 2)

Project description:Many mammals can temporally uncouple conception from parturition by pacing down their development around the blastocyst stage. In mice, this dormant state is achieved by decreasing the activity of the growth-regulating mTOR signaling pathway1. It is unknown whether this ability is conserved in mammals in general and in humans in particular. Here we show that decreasing the activity of the mTOR signaling pathway induces human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) and blastoids to enter a dormant state with limited proliferation, developmental progression, and capacity to attach to endometrial cells.

mTOR activity paces human blastocyst stage developmental progression

Project description:Many mammals can control the timing of gestation and birth by pausing embryonic development at the blastocyst stage. It is unknown whether the capacity to pause development is conserved, in general across mammals, and more specifically in humans. Activity of the growth regulating mTOR pathway governs developmental pausing in the mouse. Here we show a stage-specific capacity to delay the progression of human development via mTOR inhibition. In this context, human blastoids and pluripotent stem cells in naïve and naïve-like, but not primed, states can be induced to enter a dormant state, which is reversible at the functional and molecular level.

Human blastoids model blastocyst development and implantation

Project description:About one week after fertilization, human embryos implant into the uterus. This necessitates the formation of a blastocyst consisting of a sphere encircling a cavity lodging the embryo proper. Stem cells can form a blastocyst model, which we termed blastoid. Here we show that naive human pluripotent stem cells (PXGL hPSCs) efficiently (>70%) form blastoids generating blastocyst-stage analogs of the 3 founding lineages (>97% trophectoderm, epiblast, and primitive endoderm) according to the sequence and to the pace of blastocyst development. Blastoids form the first axis and we observe that the epiblast induces the maturation of the polar trophectoderm that consequently acquires the specific and transient potential to attach to hormonally-stimulated endometrial cells. Such human blastoids are faithful, scalable, versatile, and ethical models to explore human implantation and development.

Human blastoids model blastocyst development and implantation [Bulk RNA-seq]

Project description:Shortly after fertilization, human embryos implant into the uterus. This requires the formation of a blastocyst consisting of a sphere encircling a cavity lodging the embryo proper. Appropriate stem cells can form a blastocyst model, which we termed blastoid. Here we show that naive human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) triply inhibited for the Hippo, TGF-β, and ERK pathways consistently and efficiently (>70%) form blastoids that generate transcriptional pre-implantation analogs of the three founding lineages (trophoblast, epiblast, primitive endoderm; >97%) according to the sequence and pace of blastocyst development. Blastoids spontaneously form an axis marked by the maturation of the polar region, which acquires the potential to specifically attach to hormonally stimulated endometrial cells, as during in utero implantation. Such human blastoids are scalable, versatile, and ethical models to explore human implantation and development.

Human blastoids model blastocyst development and implantation [scRNAseq]

Project description:Shortly after fertilization, human embryos implant into the uterus. This requires the formation of a blastocyst consisting of a sphere encircling a cavity lodging the embryo proper. Stem cells can form blastocyst models, which we termed blastoid. Here we show that naïve human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) triply inhibited for the Hippo, TGFb, and ERK pathways consistently and efficiently (>70%) form blastoids that generate transcriptional pre-implantation (>95%) analogs of the three founding lineages (trophoblast, epiblast, hypoblast), and in the sequential and timely manner of blastocysts. Blastoids spontaneously form an axis marked by maturation of the polar region, which acquires the potential to specifically attach to hormonally-stimulated endometrial cells, as during in utero implantation. Such human blastoids are scalable, versatile, and ethical models to explore human implantation and development.

Highly efficient generation of blastocyst-like structures from mouse totipotent blastomere-like cells

Project description:Mammalian embryogenesis begins with a totipotent zygote. Early embryogenesis can be recapitulated by aggregated extended pluripotent stem cells (EPSCs) in a 3D culture system. However, the efficiency of generating blastoids is low and whether other reported totipotent stem cells retained a similar capacity remains unknown. Here we show that spliceosomal repressed totipotent blastomere-like cells (TBLCs) form blastocyst-like structures when aggregated in 3D microwells with around 80% efficiency. TBLC-blastoids resemble blastocysts in morphology and cell-lineage allocation, show similar transcriptional profile with natural blastocysts and contain more TE cells and fewer undefined intermediate cells compared to blastoids from EPSCs. Moreover, TBLC-blastoids can develop beyond the implantation stage in vitro and induce decidualization after transferred into uterus. In summary, we supply an alternative cell type to generate ameliorated blastoids highly efficiently for studying early mouse embryogenesis.

Generation of Blastocyst-like Structures from Extended Pluripotent Stem Cells (single-cell RNA-Seq)

Project description:A single mouse blastomere from until 8-cell embryo can generate an entire blastocyst. Whether blastomere-like extended pluripotent stem cells (EPS cells) retain a similar generative capacity remains unknown. Here, we established a 3D differentiation system that enabled the generation of blastocyst-like structures from EPS cells (EPS-blastoids) through lineage segregation and self-organization. EPS-blastoids resembled blastocysts in morphology and cell lineage allocation. EPS-blastoids formation recapitulated key morphogenetic events during preimplantation and early postimplantation development in vitro. Upon transfer, some EPS-blastoids underwent implantation, induced decidualization, and generated live, albeit disorganized, tissues in utero. Single cell and bulk RNA-sequencing analysis revealed that EPS-blastoids contained all three blastocyst cell lineages and shared transcriptional similarity with natural blastocysts. We also provide proof-of-concept that EPS-blastoids can be generated from somatic cells via cellular reprograming. EPS-blastoids provide a unique platform for studying early embryogenesis, and pave the way to generate viable synthetic embryos using cultured cells.
