PRC2 Promotes Canalisation During Endodermal Differentiation [4sU-seq]

ABSTRACT: In this study we employed a mouse embryonic stem cell (ESCs) differentiation system to convert pluripotent ESCs into Anterior Definitive Endoderm (ADE) to model primitive streak formation and early gastrulation. To monitor the progression of the differentiation we utilised a dual reporter mESC line (B6) bearing fluorescent reporters knocked in to the Gsc (marker of the PS/mesendoderm tagged with GFP) and Hhex (marker of definitive endoderm lineages tagged with Redstar) loci. To establish the transcriptional changes which occurred during a phase of differentiation that resembles the epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) at the primitive streak (PS), we performed 4sU-seq analysis on FACS sorted GSC negative and positive populations from day 3 and day 4 of differentiation. Using this approach, in combination with genome-wide gene expression analysis and ChIP-seq data, we: i). Found that changes in the gene expression where primarily regulated at the levels of transcription; ii). Identified putative enhancer elements with bi-directional transcription signatures proximal to developmentally regulated genes; iii). Determined that transcriptional upregulation of genes did not require the prior loss of H3K27me3 at gene TSSs.

PRC2 Promotes Canalisation During Endodermal Differentiation [ChIP-Seq]

Project description:In this study we employed a mouse embryonic stem cell (ESCs) differentiation system to convert pluripotent ESCs into Anterior Definitive Endoderm (ADE) to model primitive streak formation and early gastrulation. To monitor the progression of the differentiation we utilised a dual reporter mESC line (B6) bearing fluorescent reporters knocked in to the Gsc (marker of the PS/mesendoderm tagged with GFP) and Hhex (marker of definitive endoderm lineages tagged with Redstar) loci. To monitor changes in the chromatin landscape during this differentiation we performed ChIP-seq for H3K27me3 and H3K4me3 (modifications associated with gene repression and activation respectively) in each of nine FACs sorted ADE populations. Using this approach, in combination with genome-wide gene expression analysis, we; i). Found that changes in gene expression/transcription were both predictive of and predicted by dynamic changes in the levels of these histone modifications at gene promoters; ii). Found that changes in H3K27me3 levels at TSS are more dynamic than the levels of H3K4me3; iii). Determined that transcriptional upregulation of genes did not require the prior loss of H3K27me3 at gene TSSs.

PRC2 Promotes Canalisation During Endodermal Differentiation [microarray]

Project description:In this study we employed a mouse embryonic stem cell in vitro system to differentiate ESCs into Anterior Definitive Endoderm (ADE) to model primitive streak formation and early gastrulation. To establish the gene expression changes which occurred during this differentiation we performed whole genome expression analysis on RNA isolated from FACS purified cell populations. We utilised a dual reporter mESC line (B6), bearing fluorescent reporters knocked in to the Gsc (GFP) and Hhex (Redstar) loci. GSC is a marker of the PS/mesendoderm and HHEX marks definitive endoderm lineages and expression of these reporters allowed us to isolate developmentally distinct populations during the differentiation. Using the expression profile of the untreated differentiation as a reference, we investigated the developmental impact of impaired H3K27me3 deposition on ADE differentiation by inhibiting EZH2, the core catalytic component of polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2) using the small molecule inhibitor EPZ6438. We found that ADE differentiation recapitulated the in vivo developmental tradjectory and that PRC2 inhibition enhanced endodermal differentiation efficiency, but did so at the cost of lineage fidelity.

Dynamic developmental signaling logic underlying lineage bifurcations during human endoderm induction and patterning from pluripotent stem cells [Expression data set]

Project description:The definitive endoderm germ layer is the provenance of multiple internal organs, including the lungs, liver, pancreas and intestines. Molecular events driving initial endoderm germ layer specification and subsequent anterior-posterior patterning of endoderm into distinct organ primordia remain largely cryptic. Through microarray analyses, we captured genome-wide transcriptional dynamics driving successive stages of endoderm development with the intent of identifying novel regulatory genes or diagnostic markers that respectively drive or mark endoderm committment. HES3 human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) were differentiated into highly homogeneous endodermal progenitor populations, and microarray analyses were conducted of six different populations at different tiers of the endodermal lineage hierarchy: undifferentiated hESCs, anterior primitive streak (day 1 of in vitro differentiation), definitive endoderm (day 3) and anterior foregut, posterior foregut or midgut/hindgut patterned endoderm populations (day 7). Additionally, we compared hESCs differentiated using two alternative endoderm induction protocols, serum-based or AFBLy-based differentiation (both day 3 of differentiation).

Dual gene activating and repressive functions of TET1 in germ layer lineage bifurcation distinguished by genomic context and dependence on 5-methylcytosine oxidation [10x scRNAseq]

Project description:Gastrulation initiates when the epiblast differentiates into either definitive ectoderm or primitive streak. During the lineage bifurcation, the DNA dioxygenase TET1 plays dual roles in both transcriptional activation and repression, but how it exerts this bipartite control via 5-methylcytosine (5mC) oxidation-dependent and independent activities remains unclear. Here, we perform a monolayer differentiation of mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs) into neuronal precursors to define at single-cell resolution how Tet1-/- cells undergo a lineage switch to primitive streak and subsequently form mesoderm and endoderm. We identify the Wnt repressor Tcf7l1 as a direct target of TET1 that controls a signaling cascade of Wnt/β-catenin upstream of Nodal. Disrupting the endogenous catalytic site of Tet1 in ESCs contributes to activation of Nodal and subsequently Wnt/β-catenin signaling, promoting tri-lineage differentiation into ectoderm, mesoderm and endoderm. Catalytically dead TET1 is sufficient in sustaining open neuroectoderm enhancers, by which gene expression is uncoupled from enhancer DNA demethylation, and indirectly keeping primitive streak enhancers inaccessible to Wnt regulators and effectors. DNA hypermethylation caused by TET1 catalytic dysfunction instead promotes precocious primitive streak gene activation when associated with CpG islands overlapping bivalent gene promotors. Moreover, hypermethylated regions amplify in numbers in the absence of TET1 through differentiation to affect genes associated with neurological functions. Our results reveal two-way safeguarding activities of TET1 separable by genomic features, where at CpG-poor distal enhancers TET1 maintains accessible chromatin permissive for neural fate independently of 5mC oxidation; at CpG-rich bivalent promoters it prevents premature gene activation inducing alternative fates by harnessing 5mC oxidation in Polycomb gene repression.
