Project description:E5.0 entails an intermediate state for primitive endoderm (PE) to visceral endoderm (VE) differentiation: a process required for proper embryonic development. Hnf1b is essential for primitive to visceral endoderm differentiation from E4.5 to E5.5. To understand development at E5.0 and pinpoint the role Hnf1b in proper embryonic development, embryos were harvest at E5.0 and single cells from three WT embryos and 3 Hnf1b KO embryos were isolated, dissociated, and scRNA sequenced using smartseq2. For experiments on WT embryos, CD1 females were crossed with CD1 or homozygous E-cadherin-GFP males. Hnf1b -/+22 line was derived through IVF of oocytes of Black6 mice with EMMA strain EM:07827(B6.129P2(D2)-Hnf1btm1Sce/Orl) Sperm, that was bought from the EMMA institution in Orleans.

Project description:The anterior-posterior axis of the mammalian embryo is laid down by the anterior visceral endoderm (AVE), an extraembryonic signaling center that is specified within the visceral endoderm. Current models posit that AVE differentiation is promoted globally by epiblast-derived Nodal signals, and spatially restricted by a BMP gradient established by the extraembryonic ectoderm. Here, we report spatially restricted AVE differentiation in bilayered embryo-like aggregates made from mouse embryonic stem cells that lack an extraembryonic ectoderm. Notably, clusters of AVE cells also form in pure visceral endoderm cultures upon activation of Nodal signaling, indicating that tissue-intrinsic factors can restrict AVE differentiation. We identify β-catenin activity as a tissue-intrinsic factor that antagonizes AVE-inducing Nodal signals. Together, our results show how an AVE-like population can arise through interactions between epiblast and visceral endoderm alone. This mechanism may be a flexible solution for axis patterning in a wide range of embryo geometries, and provide robustness to axis patterning when coupled with signal gradients.

Project description:The visceral endoderm (VE) is an epithelial tissue in the early postimplantation mouse embryo that encapsulates the pluripotent epiblast distally and the extraembryonic ectoderm proximally. In addition to facilitating nutrient exchange before the establishment of a circulation, the VE is critical for patterning the epiblast. Since VE is derived from the primitive endoderm (PrE) of the blastocyst, and PrE-derived eXtraembryonic ENdoderm (XEN) cells can be propagated in vitro, XEN cells should provide an important tool for identifying factors that direct VE differentiation. In this study, we demonstrated that BMP4 signalling induces the formation of a polarized epithelium in XEN cells. This morphological transition was reversible, and was associated with the acquisition of a molecular signature comparable to extraembryonic (ex) VE. Resembling exVE which will form the endoderm of the visceral yolk sac, BMP4-treated XEN cells regulated hematopoiesis by stimulating the expansion of primitive erythroid progenitors. We also observed that LIF exerted an antagonistic effect on BMP4-induced XEN cell differentiation, thereby impacting the extrinsic conditions used for the isolation and maintenance of XEN cells in an undifferentiated state. Taken together, our data suggest that XEN cells can be differentiated towards an exVE identity upon BMP4 stimulation, and therefore represent a valuable tool for investigating PrE lineage differentiation. Total RNA isolated in triplicate from XEN stem cell cultures that were untreated (samples 1-3) or treated with BMP4 growth factor (samples 4-6). Total RNA isolated in triplicate from XEN stem cells that were treated with BMP4 and were flow sorted as Afp::GFP-positive (samples 7-9) or Afp::GFP-negative (samples 10-12).

Project description:The early mammalian conceptus (blastocyst) contains two supporting extraembryonic tissues - the trophectoderm and the primitive endoderm (PrE) - that encase and guide the epiblast (Epi) to eventually form the all body. Modifications of the conceptus exposed key genes regulating these tissues co-development. However, the combination of signalling pathways at play remains elusive. Stem cell-based models including embryoid bodies and blastoids can be generated in large numbers and subjected to high-content screens. Here, we use combinatorial screens of proteins, GPCR ligands and small molecules to rapidly (<96 hours) and efficiently (80%) guide embryoid bodies to form a three dimensional PrE-/Epiblast-like niche in chemically-defined conditions (gel-free, serum-free). This bipotent niche spontaneously progresses, without growth factors, to form a pro-amniotic cavity surrounded by a polarized Epi covered by parietal and visceral endoderm-like cells. In blastoids, these molecules enhance the ratio and number of Gata6+/Nanog+ cells and promote the survival, expansion and morphogenesis of a post-implantation-like Epi in vitro. Altogether, modelling early development in chemically-defined conditions delineates the pathways sufficient to form a functional PrE/Epiblast niche that fuels post-implantation development.

Project description:The identification of changes in transcriptional regulation during priming and differentiation of embryonic stem (ES) cells towards the endoderm lineage. Specific populations of ES cells, either primed or committed to endoderm, were isolated and subjected to global nuclear run on sequencing (GRO-Seq). The hHex-Venus (HV) reporter ES cell line, HVJu5.1 (Canham et al., 2010) was used to isolate HV- and HV+ ES cells. Primed ES cells were identified based on the expression of the HV marker in addition to the cell surface marker of undifferentiated ES cells, SSEA-1, (the lower and upper 25% of SSEA-1+, HV expressing cells). When challenged to differentiate, HV- ES cells are primed towards an epiblast fate, while HV+ ES cells are primed towards primitive endoderm. However, these populations are considered primed, rather than committed, as they will readily interconvert when re-introduced into standard ES cell culture conditions. ES cells were grown in self-renewing conditions (GMEM, LIF, 10% FCS, plated on gelatin coated dishes). Endoderm was obtained by differentiating ES cells in medium without the cytokine LIF for 5 days. The HV+, SSEA-1- differentiated fraction was then sorted and represents an early stage in endoderm differentiation.

Project description:The epiblast is the first cell type that forms apical-basal polarity de novo as the mouse embryo implants into the maternal uterus, while the extraembryonic neighbours of the epiblast - trophectoderm and primitive endoderm - retain their pre-established polarity beyond implantation [1]; however, it is still unclear how the epiblast establishes apical-basal polarity de novo. Here, we focused on Rap1 signaling pathway, which is activated during the transition of the epiblast from the naïve to primed state of pluripotency during implantation [2]. Through the preestablished in vitro three-dimensional culture system [3], genetic knockouts and proximity-biotinylation analyses, we found that Rap1 integrates multiple signals that contribute to de novo formation of apical-basal polarity. Importantly, formation of apical-basal polarity in the epiblast is essential for its correct patterning and proper communication with the extraembryonic lineages. Altogether, these results not only dissect molecular details of de novo apical-basal polarity formation, but also have broader implications for epithelial polarity and development.

Project description:A blastocyst consists of three distinctive cell types: epiblast (EPI), trophoblast (TB), and primitive endoderm (PrE). Stem cell lines representing EPI and TB (embryonic stem (ES) cells and trophoblast stem (TS) cells) have been derived and they contribute to epiblast derivatives and trophoblast derivatives of stem cell-blastocyst chimeras, respectively. Although derived from PrE, extraembryonic endoderm (XEN) cells contribute to only a limited part of parietal endoderm (PE) but rarely to other PrE derivatives. Here we describe the establishment of primitive endoderm stem (PrES) cell lines in mice. PrES cells were derived and maintained in a serum-free media containing CHIR99021, FGF4, heparin, and PDGF-AA. RNA-seq analysis revealed that the transcriptome of PrES cells is globaly different from XEN cells: PrES cells express not only endoderm markers (Dab2, Gata4, Gata6, Sox17, etc.), but also pluripotent markers (Pou5f1, Cdh1, Nanog, Zfp42, etc.), and resembles in vivo founder PrE. PrES cells were rapidly and efficiently incorporated into PrE after blastocyst injection and efficiently contributed to all PrE derivatives, including PE, VE (visceral endoderm), and MZE (marginal zone endoderm) in chimeras. Importantly, PrES cells rescued embryonic lethality of PrE-depleted blastocysts by complementing all PrE derivatives. PrES cells thus not only contribute to understanding of the mechanisms of PrE specification but also provide a critical resource for artificial embryo reconstitution by stem cells alone.

Project description:Genomic imprinting is an epigenetic phenomenon resulting in parent-of-origin mono-allelic expression of a small subset of mammalian genes. Imprinted genes have been categorized into two groups: multi lineage (ML) imprinted genes that can show imprinted expression in both embryonic and extra-embryonic lineages, and genes that show extra-embryonic lineage (EXEL) specific imprinted expression restricted to tissues like the placenta and visceral yolk sac (VYS) endoderm. Many genes showing EXEL imprinted expression are silenced by lncRNAs that act over long distances. Thus the analysis of this form of gene silencing is likely to be pivotal for understanding new mechanisms of long range gene silencing by lncRNAs. It has been reported that ES cells differentiated into cystic embryoid bodies (cystic EBs) contain VYS endoderm and here we investigate if cystic EBs could serve as an in vitro model for the analysis of EXEL imprinted expression. Unexpectedly we found that cystic EBs lack EXEL imprinted expression, while retaining normal imprinted expression of ML genes. This shows that cystic EBs do not model VYS imprinted expression and also argues against previous claims that cystic EBs contain VYS endoderm. We further characterized cystic EBs by performing RNA-seq and whole genome bisulphite sequencing. By comparison to various embryonic tissues we found that cystic EBs more resemble embryonic liver, which contains definitive endoderm, than the extra-embryonic endoderm of the VYS.
