Project description:During development, morphogens build tissues by instructing cell fate across long distances. Directly visualizing morphogen transport in situ has been unfeasible, so the molecular mechanisms ensuring successful morphogen delivery remain unclear. To tackle this longstanding problem, we developed a mouse model for compromised Sonic Hedgehog (SHH) morphogen delivery and discovered that endocytic recycling promotes SHH loading into signaling filopodia called cytonemes. We optimized methods to preserve in vivo cytonemes for advanced microscopy and show endogenously-expressed SHH localized to cytonemes in developing mouse neural tubes. Depletion of SHH from neural tube cytonemes alters neuronal cell fates and compromises neurodevelopment. Mutation of the filopodial motor Myosin 10 (MYO10) reduces cytoneme length and density, which corrupts neuronal signaling activity of both SHH and WNT. Combined, these results demonstrate that cytoneme-based signal transport provides essential contributions to morphogen dispersion during mammalian tissue development and suggest MYO10 is a key regulator of cytoneme function.

Project description:The endocytic pathway is of central importance for eukaryotic cells, as it enables uptake of extracellular materials, membrane protein quality control and recycling, as well as modulation of receptor signaling. While the ATPase p97 (VCP, Cdc48) has been found to be involved in the fusion of early endosomes and endolysosomal degradation, its role in endocytic trafficking is still incompletely characterized. Here, we identify myoferlin (MYOF), a ferlin family member with functions in membrane trafficking and repair, as a hitherto unknown p97 interactor. The interaction of MYOF with p97 depends on the cofactor PLAA previously linked to endosomal sorting. Besides PLAA, shared interactors of p97 and MYOF comprise several proteins involved in endosomal recycling pathways, including Rab11, Rab14 and the transferrin receptor CD71. Accordingly, a fraction of p97 and PLAA localizes to MYOF-, Rab11-, and Rab14-positive endosomal compartments. Pharmacological inhibition of p97 delays transferrin recycling, indicating that p97 promotes not only the lysosomal degradation, but also the recycling of endocytic cargo.

Project description:Endocytic recycling controls the return of internalised cargos to the plasma membrane to coordinate their positioning, availability and downstream signalling. The Rab4 and Rab11 small GTPase families regulate distinct recycling routes, broadly classified as fast recycling from early endosomes (Rab4) and slow recycling from perinuclear recycling endosomes (Rab11), and both routes handle a broad range of overlapping cargos to regulate cell behaviour. We adopted a proximity labelling approach, BioID, to identify and compare the protein complexes recruited by Rab4a, Rab11a and Rab25 (a Rab11 family member implicated in cancer aggressiveness), revealing statistically robust protein-protein interaction networks of well characterised and new cargos and trafficking machinery in migratory cancer cells. Gene ontological analysis of these interconnected networks revealed that these endocytic recycling pathways are intrinsically connected to cell motility and cell adhesion. Using a knock sideways relocalisation approach we were further able to confirm novel links between Rab11/25 and the ESCPE-1 and retromer multiprotein sorting complexes and identify new endocytic recycling machinery associated with Rab4, Rab11 and Rab25 that regulate cancer cell migration in 3D-matrix.

Project description:Morphogen signalling forms an activity gradient and instructs cell identities in a signalling strength-dependent manner to pattern developing tissues. However, developing tissues also undergo dynamic morphogenesis, which may produce cells with unfit morphogen signalling and consequent noisy morphogen gradient. Here we show that a cell competition-related system corrects such noisy morphogen gradients. Zebrafish imaging analyses of the Wnt/β-catenin signalling gradient, which acts as a morphogen to establish embryonic anterior-posterior patterning, revealed that unfit cells with abnormal Wnt/β-catenin activity spontaneously appear and produce noise in the gradient. Communication between unfit and neighbouring fit cells via cadherin proteins stimulates apoptosis of the unfit cells by activating Smad signalling and reactive oxygen species production. This unfit cell elimination is required for proper Wnt/β-catenin gradient formation and consequent anterior-posterior patterning. Because this gradient controls patterning not only in the embryo but also in adult tissues, this system may support tissue robustness and disease prevention.

Project description:In early neurodevelopment, the central nervous system is established through the coordination of various neural organizers directing tissue patterning and cell differentiation. Better recapitulation of morphogen gradient production and signaling will be crucial for establishing improved developmental models of the brainin vitro. Here, we developed a method by assembling polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) devices capable of generating a sustained chemical gradient to produce patterned brain organoids, which we termedMorphogen-gradientInducedBrainOrganoids (MIBOs). At 3.5 weeks, MIBOs replicated Dorsal-Ventral patterning observed in the Ganglionic Eminence (GE). Analysis of matured MIBOs through single-cell RNA sequencing revealed distinct Dorsal GE derived CALB2+ interneurons (INs), Medium Spiny Neurons (MSNs), and MGE derived cell types. Finally, we demonstrate long term culturing capabilities with MIBOs maintaining stable neural activity in cultures grown up to 5.5 months. MIBOs demonstrate a versatile approach for generating spatially patterned brain organoids for embryonic development and disease modeling.

Project description:A microfluidic platform for anterior-posterior human endoderm patterning via countervailing morphogen gradients in vitro

Project description:Understanding how morphogen gradients spatially pattern tissues is a fundamental question in developmental biology but can be difficult to directly address using conventional approaches. Here we expose hPSC-derived endoderm cells to countervailing gradients of anteriorizing and posteriorizing signals using a widely available microfluidic device. This approach yielded spatially patterned cultures comprising anterior foregut (precursor to the thyroid, esophagus, and lungs) and mid/hindgut (precursor to the intestines) cells, whose identities were confirmed using single-cell RNA-sequencing. By exposing stem cells to externally applied signaling gradients, this widely accessible microfluidic platform should accelerate the production of spatially patterned tissues, complementing internally self-organizing organoids. Applying artificial morphogen gradients in vitro may also illuminate signaling gradient interpretation mechanisms that are otherwise challenging to study in mammalian embryos in vivo.

Project description:Positional patterning during human brain development is orchestrated through highly coordinated interplays of locally produced inductive signals. While animal models have elucidated general signaling pathways during early neurodevelopment, individual morphogens' effects underlying the proper human brain regionalization remain unclear. Current technologies are limited in generating stable, well-confined gradients in neural organoids for robust regionalization. Here, we report a Matrigel-free passive diffusion-based morphogen gradient generator (PdMG) that reliably established a steep exogenous spatial morphogen gradient in human neural organoids. We further established dorsal-ventral forebrain, rostral-caudal fore-midbrain, and rostral-caudal fore-mid/hindbrain/spinal cord patterning by applying Sonic hedgehog/ WNT-inhibitor, WNT, and retinoic acid gradients, respectively. Spatial transcriptomics analysis revealed robust regionalization in early-stage patterned organoids, as well as active neurogenesis and GABAergic interneuron migrations in late-stage patterned organoids. Together, this study provides a framework for modeling the spatial-temporal morphogen dynamics that regulate key cell fate specifications and axis formations using patterned neural organoid models.
