Project description:Presomitic mesoderm (PSM) were microdissected from E9.5 mouse embryos (WT and TCre/+;Taf10flox/flox). 3 PSM (17-19 somites stage) were pooled per microarray, in triplicates, per genotypes
Project description:Stem cell-derived tissues have wide potential for modelling developmental and pathological processes as well as cell-based therapy. However, it has proven difficult to generate several key cell types in vitro, including skeletal muscle. In vertebrates, skeletal muscles derive during embryogenesis from the presomitic mesoderm (PSM). Using PSM development as a guide to establish conditions for the differentiation of monolayer cultures of embryonic stem (ES) cells into PSM-like cells without the introduction of transgenes or cell sorting. We generated a high resolution transcriptome expression landscape along the PSM of the mouse embryo, by microdissecting consecutive fragment of the PSM along the antero-posterior axis of the embryo. We took advantage of the observation that during development of embryo, the antero-posterior spatial position of the tissue is directly correlated to its differentiation (time) stage, thus generating an expression time-course of presomitic mesoderm development.

Using PSM development as a guide, we establish conditions for the differentiation of monolayer cultures of mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells into PSM-like cells without the introduction of transgenes or cell sorting. We differentiated mouse ESCs in serum-free medium supplemented with Rspo3 ( or as an alternative with Chir 9902) and the Bmp inhibitor LDN193189. In vivo, the PSM cells are first expressing Msgn1 (posterior PSM marker) and then mature to express Pax3 (anterior PSM marker). After 4 days of differentiation of mESCs, Msgn1-positive cells were FACS-sorted and their transcriptome analyzed. After 6 days of differentiation, Pax3-positive cells were sorted and their transcriptome analyzed. Mouse ESCs differentiated for 0, 4 and 6 days in serum-free medium containing a Wnt activator, a BMP inhibitor and DMSO, to study paraxial mesoderm in vitro

However, it has proven difficult to generate several key cell types in vitro, including skeletal muscle. In vertebrates, skeletal muscles derive during embryogenesis from the presomitic mesoderm (PSM). Using PSM development as a guide, we establish conditions for the differentiation of monolayer cultures of human pluripotent stem (hPSC) cells into PSM-like cells without the introduction of transgenes or cell sorting. We differentiated human PSCs in serum-free medium supplemented with Chir99021 only (C medium) or with also the Bmp inhibitor LDN193189 (CL medium). In vivo, the PSM cells are first expressing MSGN1 (posterior PSM marker) and then mature to express Pax3 (anterior PSM marker). After 4-5 days of differentiation of hPSCs, MSGN1-positive cells were FACS-sorted and their transcriptome analyzed.
