Project description:Mesendodermal specification and cardiac differentiation are key issues for developmental biology and heart regeneration medicine. Previously, we demonstrated that FAM122A, a highly conserved house-keeping gene, is an endogenous inhibitor of protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) and participates in multi facet physiological and pathological processes, however, the in vivo function of FAM122A is largely unknown. In this study, we found that Fam122 deletion results in embryonic lethality with severe defects of cardiovascular developments and significantly attenuates the cardiac functions in conditional cardiac-specific knockout mice. More importantly, Fam122a deficiency impairs mesendodermal specification and cardiac differentiation from mouse embryonic stem cells, but not influences the pluripotent identity. Mechanical investigation shows that the impaired differentiation potential is caused through the dysregulation of histone modification and Wnt and Hippo signaling pathways by modulating PP2A activity. These findings suggest that FAM122A is a novel and critical regulator in mesendodermal specification and cardiac differentiation. This not only significantly extends our understanding the regulatory network of mesendodermal/cardiac differentiation, but also establishes a previously uncharacterized connection between PP2A and mesendodermal specification.

Project description:Mesendodermal specification and cardiac differentiation are key issues for developmental biology and heart regeneration medicine. Previously, we demonstrated that FAM122A, a highly conserved housekeeping gene, is an endogenous inhibitor of protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) and participates in multifaceted physiological and pathological processes. However, the in vivo function of FAM122A is largely unknown. In this study, we observed that Fam122 deletion resulted in embryonic lethality with severe defects of cardiovascular developments and significantly attenuated cardiac functions in conditional cardiac-specific knockout mice. More importantly, Fam122a deficiency impaired mesendodermal specification and cardiac differentiation from mouse embryonic stem cells but showed no influence on pluripotent identity. Mechanical investigation revealed that the impaired differentiation potential was caused by the dysregulation of histone modification and Wnt and Hippo signaling pathways through modulation of PP2A activity. These findings suggest that FAM122A is a novel and critical regulator in mesendodermal specification and cardiac differentiation. This research not only significantly extends our understanding of the regulatory network of mesendodermal/cardiac differentiation but also proposes the potential significance of FAM122A in cardiac regeneration.

Project description:The epigenome of a cell is established and maintained by chromatin modifiers and remodelers, which are recruited to the chromatin by specific transcription factors. In this report, we show that nodal cross-talks with the epigenome through TRIM33-H3K18ac to mediate mesendodermal genes expression. The chromatin accessibility at mesendodermal genes depends on TRIM33. Moreover, histone acetylation is essential for TRIM33 recruitment to many nodal target genes involved in mesendodermal differentiation. The distribution pattern of the H3K18ac mark changes from foci to expanded domains at the mesendodermal genes promoter during embryonic stem cells (ESCs) differentiation to embryoid bodies (EBs). This could be the cue to facilitate TRIM33 colocalized with Smad2/3 at chromatin in EBs but not in ESCs. TRIM33 interacts with the H3K18ac “writer” p300 dependent on nodal signaling, providing a positive feedback to promote activation of mesendodermal genes and association with HDAC1 plays a negative role in activation of mesendodermal genes.

Project description:Human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPS cells) resemble embryonic stem cells and can differentiate into cell derivatives of all three germ layers. However, frequently the differentiation efficiency of iPS cells into some lineages is rather poor. Here, we found that fusion of iPS cells with human hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) enhances iPS cell differentiation. Such iPS hybrids showed a prominent differentiation bias towards hematopoietic lineages but also towards other mesendodermal lineages. Additionally, during differentiation of iPS hybrids expression of early mesendodermal markers - Brachyury (T), MIX1 Homeobox-Like Protein 1 (MIXL1) and Goosecoid (GSC) - appeared with faster kinetics than in parental iPS cells. Following iPS hybrid differentiation there was a prominent induction of NODAL and inhibition of NODAL signaling blunted mesendodermal differentiation. This indicates that NODAL signaling is critically involved in mesendodermal bias of iPS hybrid differentiation. In summary, we demonstrate that iPS cell fusion with HSC prominently enhances iPS differentiation. 11 samples were hybridized GeneChip Human Gene 1.0 ST Arrays (Affymetrix)

Project description:Mouse embryonic stem cells can differentiate in vitro into spontaneously contracting cardiomyocytes. The main objective of this study was to investigate cardiogenesis in cultures of differentiating embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and to determine how closely it mimics in vivo cardiac development. We identified and isolated a population of cardiac progenitor cells (CPCs) through the use of a reporter DNA construct that allowed the expression of a selectable marker under the control of the Nkx2.5 enhancer. We proceeded to characterize these CPCs by examining their capacity to differentiate into cardiomyocytes and to proliferate. We then performed a large-scale temporal microarray expression analysis in order to identify genes that are uniquely upregulated or downregulated in the CPC population. We determined that the transcriptional profile of the mESC derived CPCs was consistent with pathways known to be active during embryonic cardiac development. We conclude that in vitro differentiation of mESCs recapitulates the early steps of mouse cardiac development. Keywords: embryonic stem cell, differentiation, cardiac progenitor, cardiogenesis

Project description:Transcription factor Bach1 is a member of the alkaline leucine zipper protein family. Our results therefore highlight a critical role for Bach1 proteins in a regulatory network that integrates essential Wnt/β-catenin and nodal-Smad signaling to repress mesendodermal differentiation of pluripotent cells
