Project description:Progesterone synthesized in the placenta is essential for pregnancy maintenance. CYP11A1 is a key enzyme in progesterone synthesis, and its expression increases greatly during trophoblast syncytialization. However, the underlying mechanism remains elusive. Here, we demonstrated that passive demethylation of CYP11A1 promoter accounted for the upregulation of CYP11A1 expression during syncytialization with the participation of the transcription factor C/EBPα. We found that the methylation rate of a CpG locus in the CYP11A1 promoter was significantly reduced along with decreased DNA methyltransferase 1 (DNMT1) expression and its enrichment at the CYP11A1 promoter during syncytialization. DNMT1 overexpression not only increased the methylation of this CpG locus in the CYP11A1 promoter, but also decreased CYP11A1 expression and progesterone production. In silico analysis disclosed multiple C/EBPα binding sites in both CYP11A1 and DNMT1 promoters. C/EBPα expression and its enrichments at both the DNMT1 and CYP11A1 promoters were significantly increased during syncytialization. Knocking-down C/EBPα expression increased DNMT1 while it decreased CYP11A1 expression during syncytialization. Conclusively, C/EBPα plays a dual role in the regulation of CYP11A1 during syncytialization. C/EBPα not only drives CYP11A1 expression directly, but also indirectly through downregulation of DNMT1, which leads to decreased methylation in the CpG locus of the CYP11A1 promoter, resulting in increased progesterone production during syncytialization.

Project description:Tumours induce de novo steroidogenesis in immune cells. We wanted to define the gene expression identity of intratumoural steroidogenic immune cells and compare them with the transcriptome with non-steroidogenic cells. Cyp11a1 expression is a faithful biomarker of de novo steroidogenesis (i.e. Cyp11a1+ cells are steroidogenic and Cyp11a1- cells are non-steroidogenic). We inoculated B16-F10 tumor in Cyp11a1-mCherry reporter mice, enriched and purified intratumoral Cyp11a1-mCherry+ and Cyp11a1-mCherry- cells by cell sorting into 96-well plates [with a ratio of 79:15 (mCherry+ : mCherry-) cells per plate] and performed scRNA-seq using SMART-Seq2 platform.

Project description:Nutrient sensing and adaptation in the placenta are essential for pregnancy viability and proper fetal growth. Our recent research demonstrates that the placenta adapts to nutrient insufficiency through mTOR inhibition-mediated trophoblast differentiation toward syncytiotrophoblasts (STBs), a highly specialized multinucleated trophoblast subtype directing extensive maternal-fetal interactions. However, the underlying mechanism remains elusive. Here, we unravel the indispensable role of the mTORC1 downstream transcriptional factor TFEB in STB formation both in vitro and in vivo. Endogenous TFEB deficiency significantly impaired STB differentiation in trophoblast cells and placenta organoids. Mechanistically, TFEB conferred direct transcriptional regulation of the fusogen ERVFRD-1 in human trophoblasts and thereby profoundly promoted STB formation, independent of its canonical function as a master regulator of the autophagy-lysosomal pathway. In line with the in vitro findings, systemic or trophoblast-specific deletion of Tfeb compromised STB formation and placental vascular construction, leading to severe embryonic lethality. Moreover, TFEB directs the trophoblast syncytialization response driven by mTORC1 signaling. Importantly, TFEB expression positively correlates with the reinforced trophoblast syncytialization in human fetal growth restriction (FGR) placentas exhibiting suppressed mTORC1 activity. Our findings substantiate that the TFEB-fusogen axis ensures proper STB formation during placenta development and under nutrient stress, shedding light on TFEB as a mechanistic link between nutrient-sensing machinery and trophoblast differentiation.

Project description:Somatic cell reprogramming into pluripotent stem cells induced by Oct4, Sox2, Klf4 and Myc (OSKM) occurs at low frequencies and with a considerable delay involving a stochastic phase. In contrast, transdifferentiation of B cells into macrophages induced by C/EBPα is fully efficient and initiated almost immediately. We now discovered that a pulse of C/EBPα in B cell precursors followed by OSKM expression dramatically enhances reprogramming to pluripotency, overcoming the stochastic phase. The cells simultaneously activate mesenchymal-epithelial transition and pluripotency genes to high levels within 2 days, correlating with promoter demethylation and accessibility to Oct4 binding. The conditioning effect of C/EBPα is shared with C/EBPβ but not with transcription factors that induce erythroid, neuronal and muscle fates, which are innocuous or inhibitory. Surprisingly, OSKM induce the transient upregulation of macrophage genes in B cells, including Cebpa and Cebpb, as well as trophectoderm genes. Since both C/EBPs are functionally expressed in trophoblasts their unique pluripotency-conditioning capacity might reflect an early embryonic function. Our findings have removed a major hurdle in elucidating mechanisms that establish pluripotency.
