Downregulation of p53 drives autophagy during human trophoblast differentiation

ABSTRACT: A functional placental barrier is crucial for the supply of the embryo or foetus throughout pregnancy. It is formed by the syncytiotrophoblast, which develops via fusion of cytotrophoblast cells. How this “differentiation-by-fusion” is regulated is only partially understood. Here we analysed transcriptome changes during in vitro cytotrophoblast fusion. Pathway analyses yielded the tumor suppressor p53 as upstream negative regulator and indicated an upregulation of autophagy-related genes. We further showed that, during differentiation, p53 is downregulated on the mRNA and protein levels, while the autophagy marker LC3B-II (lipidated LC3B) is increased. In first-trimester placentae, we find reciprocal expression patterns of p53 and LC3B, with p53 expression primarily in cytotrophoblasts and predominant LC3B expression in the apical side of the syncytiotrophoblast layer. Furthermore, in the syncytiotrophoblast, we could show increased autophagic flux, which is alleviated by ectopically overexpression of p53. This was also shown in placental explants treated with a pharmacological p53 activator. On the contrary, in a fusion-deficient trophoblast cell line we could not see an interdependency of p53 and LC3B lipidation. In summary our data suggests, that the downregulation of p53 during syncytialization is a prerequisite for the activation of autophagy in the placental barrier.

Human cytotrophoblast organoids

Project description:Human cytotrophoblast organoid cultures were established from the villous trophoblast of first trimester placentas. We analyzed the global expression profile of the cytotrophoblast organoids (CTB-ORG) and compared to the profile of the tissue of origin i.e. villous cytotrophoblast (vCTB) as well as to differentiated syncytiotrophoblast (STB) and placental fibroblasts (FIB).

Unraveling autophagic imbalances and therapeutic insights in Mecp2-deficient models

Project description:Loss of function mutations in MECP2are associated to Rett syndrome (RTT), a severe neurodevelopmental disease. Mainly working as a transcriptional regulator, MECP2 absence leads to gene expression perturbations resulting in deficits of synaptic function and neuronal activity. In addition, RTT patients and mouse models suffer from a complex metabolic syndrome, suggesting that related cellular pathways might contribute to neuropathogenesis. Along this line, autophagy is critical in sustaining developing neuron homeostasis by breaking down dysfunctional proteins, lipids, and organelles. Here, we investigated the autophagic pathway in RTT and found reduced content of autophagic vacuoles in Mecp2 knock-out neurons. This correlates with defective lipidation of LC3B-II probably caused by a deficiency of the autophagic membrane lipid phosphatidylethanolamine. The administration of the autophagy inducer trehalose recovers LC3B lipidation, autophagosomes content in knock-out neurons, and ameliorates their morphology, neuronal activity and synaptic ultrastructure. Moreover, we provide evidence for attenuation of motor and exploratory impairment in Mecp2 knock-out mice upon trehalose administration. Overall, our findings open new perspectives for neurodevelopmental disorders therapies based on the concept of autophagy modulation.

Sonic Hedgehog inhibitor cyclopamine effect on JAR cells

Project description:Physiologically, trophoblast progenitor cells differentiate into placental villous cytotrophoblast cells (CTBs). CTBs either differentiate into invasive lineage to yields extravillous cytotrophoblast cells (EVTs), or undergo cell fusion lineage to yields syncytiotrophoblast cells (STBs)，Sonic hedgehog (Shh) together with indian hedgehog (Ihh) and desert hedgehog (Dhh) consist of ligand of hedgehog signaling pathway, which plays pivotal roles in regulating cell proliferation, cell differentiation, organogenesis and development, even involving in tumorigenesis and progression. previous study had summarized and indicatedthat hedgehog proteins played important roles in regulating hematopoiesis, vasculogenesis and angiogenesis during embryogenesis and development. Herein, we investigate the effect of the Sonic Hedgehog morphogen inhibitor Cyclopamine on JAR cells

Diferential gene expression in Trophoblast cell cultures

Project description:The syncytiotrophoblast develops as a result of the fusion of placental villous cytotrophoblast cells. These multinuclear cells are essential for fetal-maternal exchange and production of pregnancy-related hormones. Placental deficiency is considered a major risk factor associated with intrauterine growth restriction and preeclampsia. Better understanding of placental patho-physiology requires knowledge on gene expression regulation involved in trophoblast differentiation. Using the well-established in vitro trophoblast differentiation model, we have performed a microarray analysis on mRNA expression in trophoblast and syncytiotrophoblast cell cultures. Dramatic changes in gene expression patterns were detected during trophoblast differentiation. As many as 3524 novel and known genes are found to be up- or down regulated for more than 2-fold. Real-time PCR analysis of a group of genes confirmed the reliability of the microarray data. Overall, this study provided a global view on the molecular events underlying trophoblast differentiation. Subsequent characterization on regulation and function of the identified genes may lead to discovery of new pathways important for placental differentiation and function.

Expression data of human primary placenta trophoblast cells, at different time points following seeding

Project description:Cellular senescence is a permanent state of cell cycle arrest that protects the organism from tumorigenesis and regulates tissue integrity upon damage. Recently, several studies have shown that senescence plays a role in embryonic and placental development. Molecular markers of senescence are expressed in human syncytiotrophoblast, but the molecular mechanisms that govern senescence in these cells are not yet understood. To unravel the molecular mechanisms that mediate the impact of senescence on the placenta, we studied human syncytiotrophoblast in culture. We isolated cytotrophoblast cells from human term placentas. In culture, cytotrophoblast cells spontaneously differentiate into syncytium, creating the large multinucleated syncytiotrophoblast structure that can be monitored and studied for its molecular and cellular characteristics (Kliman et al., 1986; Li and Schust, 2015). We performed mRNA profiling on two human term placenta trophoblast cultures, at 1.5, 2, 3 and 5 days after seeding.

Role of YAP/TAZ-TEAD in human trophoblast

Project description:During placentation, placental cytotrophoblast cells differentiate into syncytiotrophoblast cells and extravillous trophoblast cells. In placenta, the expression of various genes is regulated by the Hippo pathway through the transcriptional coactivator YAP/TAZ-TEAD activity. To examine the effect of YAP/TAZ and/or TEAD on trophoblast differentiation, knockdown experiments were performed. Microarray analysis were performed to identify YAP/TAZ and/or TEAD target genes in human trophoblast.

Autophagy driven by a master regulator of hematopoiesis

Project description:Developmental and homeostatic remodeling of cellular organelles is mediated by a complex process termed autophagy. The cohort of proteins that constitute the autophagy machinery function in a multistep biochemical pathway. Though components of the autophagy machinery are broadly expressed, autophagy can occur in specialized cellular contexts, and mechanisms underlying cell type-specific autophagy are poorly understood. We demonstrate that the master regulator of hematopoiesis GATA-1 directly activates transcription of genes encoding the essential autophagy component Microtubule Associated Protein 1 Light Chain 3B (LC3B) and its homologs (MAP1LC3A, GABARAP, GABARAPL1, GATE-16). In addition, GATA-1 directly activates genes involved in the biogenesis/function of lysosomes, which mediate autophagic protein turnover. We demonstrate that GATA-1 utilizes the forkhead protein FoxO3 to activate select autophagy genes. GATA-1-dependent LC3B induction is tightly coupled to accumulation of the active form of LC3B and autophagosomes, which mediate mitochondrial clearance as a critical step in erythropoiesis. These results illustrate a novel mechanism by which a master regulator of development establishes a genetic network to instigate cell type-specific autophagy.

Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 5A regulates autophagy via translation of ATG3

Project description:Autophagy is an essential catabolic process responsible for recycling of intracellular material and preserving cellular fidelity. Key to the autophagy pathway is the ubiquitin-like conjugation system mediating lipidation of Atg8 proteins and their anchoring to autophagosomal membranes. While regulation of autophagy has been characterized at the level of transcription, protein interactions and post-translational modifications, its translational regulation remains elusive. Here we describe a novel regulatory axis of autophagy at the translational level, guided by the conserved eukaryotic translation factor eIF5A. Identified from a high-throughput screen, we find that eIF5A is required for lipidation of LC3B and its paralogs and promotes autophagosome formation. This feature is evolutionarily conserved and results from the translation of the E2-like ATG3 protein. Mechanistically, we identify an amino acid motif in ATG3 causing eIF5A-dependency for its efficient translation. Our study identifies a key regulatory mechanism of autophagosome formation and demonstrates the impact of translation in the regulation autophagy.

RNA-seq of bulk trophectoderm microdissected from human blastocysts cultured to day 5, day 6 and day 7 post-fertilisation

Project description:5 days after fertilisation the human embryo forms a blastocyst, comprising an outer layer of trophectoderm (TE), that gives rise to placental trophoblast cells, and the inner cell mass (ICM) which later segregates into epiblast (EPI) and primitive endoderm (PE). After implantation TE differentiates into cytotrophoblast cells (CTBs) which give rise to the multinucleated syncytiotrophoblast (STB) and invasive extravillous trophoblast cells (EVTs). A conserved molecular cascade regulates TE initiation (Gerri et al. Nature 2020), but subsequent TE development is poorly defined. To study this in greater detail we performed RNA-seq analysis of human blastocysts cultured to different stages of pre-implantation TE development: Day 5: TE appearance, Day 6: TE expansion and Day 7: TE hatching.

Single-cell RNA-seq reveals sequential trophoblast transition during human embryo implantation

Project description:We performed single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) analysis of human post-implantation trophoblast cells. A hierarchical model was established, which was characterized by the sequential and stepwise development of two primitive cytotrophoblast cell (pCTB) subtypes after the trophectoderm (TE), two primitive syncytiotrophoblast (pSTB) subtypes, and migrative trophoblast cells (MTB). Further analysis characterized a new subtype of fusion-competent cells, which not only prepare for fusion to form primitive syncytiotrophoblast but also possess migration ability, which could be dual-function cells during implantation. Our work allows for reconstruction of sequential trophoblast cell transcriptional programs transition during implantation and provides a valuable resource to study pathologies in early pregnancy, such as recurrent implantation failure.
