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

ABSTRACT: 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.

Transcript profiling of individual twin blastomeres derived by splitting 2-cell stage murine embryos

Project description:We have examined whether twin blastomeres from 2-cell stage mouse embryos differ in mRNA content. Amplified mRNA from 12 blastomeres derived from six embryos approximately mid-way through their second cell cycle was analyzed. Probes displaying normalized values greater than 0.25 were selected and examined for consistent bias in expression within blastomere pairs. Although transcript content varied both between individual embryos and twin blastomeres, no consistent asymmetries were observed for the majority of genes. On the other hand, 769 genes displayed a greater than 1.4-fold difference in expression across 5 of 6 pairs of blastomeres and 178 genes differed across all 6 pairs. These genes separated into two groups by class discovery clustering. Of the 769 differentially expressed genes, 163 were significantly up- or down-regulated in one sister blastomere compared to the other. Transcripts encoding proteins implicated in RNA processing and cytoskeletal organization were highly represented among the most abundant, differentially distributed mRNA. We conclude that there are many differences that distinguish twin blastomeres derived from a single 2-cell stage embryo but that only a few of these differences are consistent across multiple pairs of embryos. We hypothesize that a stochastically-based lack of synchrony in cell cycle progression between the two cells might explain some or all of the asymmetries in transcript composition.

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

Project description: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.

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

Project description:Upon 2-cell embryo splitting, individual blastomeres were compared and contrasted with each other respecting pair associations (e.g. blastomere '1a' and '1b' of embryo 1, '2a' and '2b' of embryo 2, and so forth) Transcriptome analysis followed by cluster analysis (Ward) was able to match a minority of the blastomeres with the correct sister blastomere

Blastomeres of 8-cell mouse embryos differ in their ability to generate embryonic stem cells and produce lines with different transcriptional signatures.

Project description:The ability of sister blastomeres of 8-cell mouse embryos to produce ESC lines was measured, and the transcriptome of the Bm-mESCs lines generated was analyzed by RNA-seq.

Gene expression profiles of individual blastomeres of early Ciona embryos

Project description:We examined gene expression profiles of individual blastomeres of early Ciona embryos using microarrays. We examined gene expression profiles of individual blastomeres of the 8-cell, 16-cell and 32-cell embryos by dissecting with a fine glass needle. We also examined gene expression profiles of unfertilized eggs and embryos from the 1- to 32-cell stages.

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.

Totipotency of mouse zygotes extends to single blastomeres of 4-cell stage embryos

Project description:In multicellular organisms, heterogametes of oocytes and sperms are fertilized and resulting zygotes give rise to new individuals. The ability of zygotes that produce a fully formed individual from single cell when placed in a supportive environment is defined as totipotency. Given that totipotent cells are the source of all multicellular organisms, better understanding of totipotency has a profound effect on not only biology but also our society. However, the exact distribution of totipotent cells in mammals remains elusive, although zygotes and single blastomeres at 2-cell stage embryos has been thought to be only mouse cells to be totipotent. We now show that a single blastomere isolated from 2- and 4-cell stage embryos gives rise to a fertile adult individual when it placed in a uterus, although isolation of blastomeres at these stage results in the disturbance of transcriptome in single blastomere derived embryos. Single blastomeres from 8-cell and morula stage embryos that were separately cultured in vitro exhibited severe defects in the formation of epiblast and primitive endoderm in the inner cell mass and the development to blastocysts, respectively. Our results thus indicate that totipotency of mouse zygotes extends to single blastomeres of 4-cell stage embryos.
