Project description:Developmental potential is progressively restricted after germ layer specification during gastrulation. However, cranial neural crest cells challenge this paradigm, as they develop from anterior ectoderm yet give rise to both mesodermal derivatives of the craniofacial skeleton and ectodermal derivatives of the peripheral nervous system. How cranial neural crest cells differentiate into multiple lineages is poorly understood. Here, we demonstrate that cranial neural crest cells possess a transient state of increased chromatin accessibility; and that the earliest premigratory neural crest are biased towards either a neuronal or ectomesenchymal fate, with each lineage expressing distinct factors from the pluripotent state. We profile the spatiotemporal emergence of each neural crest population and demonstrate that the ectomesenchymal lineage forms prior to the neuronal progenitors. Expression of the pluripotency microRNA family miR-302 is maintained in cranial neural crest cells and genetic deletion leads to precocious specification of the ectomesenchymal lineage. We find that miR-302 directly targets Sox9 to slow the timing of ectomesenchyme induction and regulates multiple genes involved in chromatin condensation to maintain accessibility for neuronal differentiation. Loss of mir-302 results in reduced chromatin accessibility in the neuronal progenitor lineage of neural crest and a reduction in peripheral neuron differentiation. Our findings reveal a post-transcriptional mechanism governed by miRNAs from pluripotency as an important mechanism to expand developmental potential of cranial neural crest.

Project description:Neural crest cells are embryonic progenitors that generate numerous cell types in vertebrates. With single cell analysis, we show that mouse trunk neural crest cells become biased toward neuronal lineages when they delaminate from the neural tube, whereas cranial neural crest cells acquire ectomesenchyme potential dependent on activation of the transcription factor Twist1. The choices that neural crest cells make to become sensory, glial, autonomic, or mesenchymal cells can be formalized as a series of sequential binary decisions. Each branch of the decision tree involves initial co-activation of bipotential properties followed by gradual shifts towards commitment. Competing fate programs are co-activated before cells acquire fate-specific phenotypic traits. Determination of a specific fate is achieved by increased synchronization of relevant programs and concurrent repression of competing fate programs.

Project description:Craniofacial morphogenesis depends on complex cell fate decisions during the differentiation of post-migratory cranial neural crest cells. Molecular mechanisms of cell differentiation of mesenchymal cells to developing bones, cartilage, teeth, tongue, and other craniofacial tissues are still poorly understood. We performed single-cell transcriptomic analysis of craniofacial mesenchymal cells derived from cranial NCCs in mouse embryo. Using FACS sorting of Wnt1-Cre2 progeny, we carefully map the cell heterogeneity in the craniofacial region during the initial stages of bone and cartilage formation.

Project description:The cranial neural crest (CNC) is a vertebrate-specific population that generates a huge diversity of derivatives, including the bulk of the connective and skeletal tissues of the head. How neural crest cells generate the appropriate cell types for distinct head regions over time remains unresolved. Here we profile RNA expression (scRNAseq) and chromatin accessibility (snATACseq) of the zebrafish cranial neural crest lineage at single-cell resolution from embryos to adults.

Project description:The cranial neural crest cells are pluripotent cells that provide head skeletogenic mesenchyme and are crucial for craniofacial patterning. Here, we analyzed the in vivo chromatin landscapes of mouse cranial neural crest subpopulations. Early postmigratory neural crest subpopulations contributing to distinct mouse craniofacial structures displayed similar chromatin accessibility patterns, yet differed transcriptionally. Accessible promoters and enhancers of differentially silenced genes carried H3K27me3/H3K4me2 bivalent chromatin marks embedded in large Ezh2-dependent Polycomb domains, indicating transcriptional poising. These postmigratory bivalent regions were already present in neural crest premigratory progenitors. At Polycomb domains, H3K27me3 antagonized H3K4me2 deposition, which was restricted to accessible sites. Thus, bivalent Polycomb domains provide a chromatin template for the regulation of cranial neural crest cell positional identity in vivo contributing novel insights into the epigenetic regulation of face morphogenesis.
