Project description:Shortly after fertilization, human embryos implant into the uterus. This requires the formation of a blastocyst consisting of a sphere encircling a cavity lodging the embryo proper. Appropriate stem cells can form a blastocyst model, which we termed blastoid. Here we show that naive human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) triply inhibited for the Hippo, TGF-β, and ERK pathways consistently and efficiently (>70%) form blastoids that generate transcriptional pre-implantation analogs of the three founding lineages (trophoblast, epiblast, primitive endoderm; >97%) according to the sequence and pace of blastocyst development. Blastoids spontaneously form an axis marked by the maturation of the polar region, which acquires the potential to specifically attach to hormonally stimulated endometrial cells, as during in utero implantation. Such human blastoids are scalable, versatile, and ethical models to explore human implantation and development.

Project description:About one week after fertilization, human embryos implant into the uterus. This necessitates the formation of a blastocyst consisting of a sphere encircling a cavity lodging the embryo proper. Stem cells can form a blastocyst model, which we termed blastoid. Here we show that naive human pluripotent stem cells (PXGL hPSCs) efficiently (>70%) form blastoids generating blastocyst-stage analogs of the 3 founding lineages (>97% trophectoderm, epiblast, and primitive endoderm) according to the sequence and to the pace of blastocyst development. Blastoids form the first axis and we observe that the epiblast induces the maturation of the polar trophectoderm that consequently acquires the specific and transient potential to attach to hormonally-stimulated endometrial cells. Such human blastoids are faithful, scalable, versatile, and ethical models to explore human implantation and development.

Here we show that naïve human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) triply inhibited for the Hippo, TGFb, and ERK pathways consistently and efficiently (>70%) form blastoids that generate transcriptional pre-implantation (>95%) analogs of the three founding lineages (trophoblast, epiblast, hypoblast), and in the sequential and timely manner of blastocysts. Blastoids spontaneously form an axis marked by maturation of the polar region, which acquires the potential to specifically attach to hormonally-stimulated endometrial cells, as during in utero implantation. Such human blastoids are scalable, versatile, and ethical models to explore human implantation and development.

Project description:Naïve human pluripotent stem cells have the remarkable ability to self-organize into blastocyst-like structures (“blastoids”) that model lineage segregation in the pre-implantation embryo. However, the extent to which blastoids can recapitulate defining features of human post-implantation development remains unexplored. Here, we report that blastoids cultured on thick 3D extracellular matrices capture hallmarks of early post-implantation development, including epiblast lumenogenesis, rapid expansion and diversification of trophoblast lineages, and robust invasion of extravillous trophoblast cells by day 14. Extended blastoid culture results in the localized activation of primitive streak marker TBXT and the emergence of embryonic germ layers by day 21. We also show that modulation of WNT signaling alters the balance between epiblast and trophoblast fates in post-implantation blastoids. This work demonstrates that 3D-cultured blastoids offer a continuous and integrated in vitro model system of human embryonic and extraembryonic development from pre-implantation to early gastrulation stages.

Project description:A single mouse blastomere from until 8-cell embryo can generate an entire blastocyst. Whether blastomere-like extended pluripotent stem cells (EPS cells) retain a similar generative capacity remains unknown. Here, we established a 3D differentiation system that enabled the generation of blastocyst-like structures from EPS cells (EPS-blastoids) through lineage segregation and self-organization. EPS-blastoids resembled blastocysts in morphology and cell lineage allocation. EPS-blastoids formation recapitulated key morphogenetic events during preimplantation and early postimplantation development in vitro. Upon transfer, some EPS-blastoids underwent implantation, induced decidualization, and generated live, albeit disorganized, tissues in utero. Single cell and bulk RNA-sequencing analysis revealed that EPS-blastoids contained all three blastocyst cell lineages and shared transcriptional similarity with natural blastocysts. We also provide proof-of-concept that EPS-blastoids can be generated from somatic cells via cellular reprograming. EPS-blastoids provide a unique platform for studying early embryogenesis, and pave the way to generate viable synthetic embryos using cultured cells.

Project description:The embryo instructs the allocation of cell states to spatially regulate growth and functions. In the blastocyst, the formation and divergence of the trophoblast lineage ensures successful implantation and placental development. Here, we defined an optimal set of molecules secreted by the inner epiblast cells (inducers) that captures stable, highly self-renewing, pre-implantation-like mouse trophectoderm stem cells (TESCs). When exposed to suboptimal inducers, these stem cells form interconvertible subpopulations with reduced self-renewal, known as trophoblast stem cells (TSCs), and resembling peri-implantation progenitors. TECSs have an enhanced capacity to form blastoids that implant more efficiently in utero. We find that this enhanced capacity is due to epiblast inducers not only controlling trophoblast growth but also trophoblast secretion of WNT6/7B that stimulates uterine decidualization. Thus, the embryo leverages epiblast inductions to drive both the growth and decidualization potential of trophoblasts required for implantation and development.

Project description:Understanding blastocyst formation and implantation is critical for improving farm animal reproduction but is hampered by a limited supply of embryos. We developed an efficient method to generate bovine blastocyst-like structures (termed blastoids) via the assembly of trophoblast stem cells and expanded potential stem cells. Bovine blastoids resemble blastocysts in morphology, cell composition, single-cell transcriptomes, and represent an accessible in vitro model for studying bovine embryogenesis.
