Genetically identical cells often show significant variation in gene expression profile and behaviour even in the same physiological condition. Notably, embryonic cells destined to the same tissue maintain a uniform transcriptional regulatory state and form a homogeneous cell group. One mechanism to keep the homogeneity within embryonic tissues is the so-called community effect in animal development. The community effect is an interaction among a group of many nearby precursor cells, and is necessary for them to maintain tissue-specific gene expression and differentiate in a coordinated manner. Although it has been shown that the cell-cell communication by a diffusible factor plays a crucial role, it is not immediately obvious why a community effect needs many cells. In this work, we propose a model of the community effect in development, which consists in a linear gene cascade and cell-cell communication. We examined the properties of the model theoretically using a combination of stochastic and

The community effect is an interaction among a group of many nearby precursor cells, necessary for them to maintain tissue-specific gene expression and differentiate co-ordinately. During Xenopus myogenesis, the muscle precursor cells must be in group contact throughout gastrulation in order to develop into terminally differentiated muscle. The molecular basis of this community interaction has not to date been elucidated. We have developed an assay for testing potential community factors, in which isolated muscle precursor cells are treated with a candidate protein and cultured in dispersion. We have tested a number of candidate factors and we find that only eFGF protein is able to mediate a community effect, stimulating stable muscle-specific gene expression in demonstrably single muscle precursor cells. In contrast, Xwnt8, bFGF, BMP4 and TGF(β)2 do not show this capacity. We show that eFGF is expressed in the muscle precursor cells at the right time to mediate the community effect. Moreover, ...

TY - JOUR. T1 - FGF Can Induce Outgrowth of Somatic Mesoderm both Inside and Outside of Limb-Forming Regions. AU - Mima, Tatsuo. AU - Ohuchi, Hideyo. AU - Noji, Sumihare. AU - Mikawa, Takashi. N1 - Copyright: Copyright 2017 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.. PY - 1995/2. Y1 - 1995/2. N2 - In the vertebrate embryo, only somatopleural cells in the limb-forming region are released from the mesodermal layer and undergo outgrowth from the embryonic body to form the limb bud. Molecular signals which regulate limb bud induction are unknown to date. In the present study we examined the ability of fibroblast growth factor (FGF) to induce limb bud formation in chicken embryos. A replication-defective retrovirus encoding FGF type 4 with a reporter, bacterial β-galactosidase, was microinjected into lateral plate mesoderm inside and outside limb-forming regions. Effects of the ectopic and precocious expression of FGF were assessed at various stages after infection. Here we report that somatic mesodermal ...

Owing to their single genome, haploid cells are powerful to uncover unknown genes by performing genetic screening in mammals. However, no haploid cell line from an extraembryonic lineage has been achieved yet, which limits the application of haploid cells in placental genetic screening. Here, we show that overexpression of Cdx2 can convert haploid embryonic stem cells to trophoblast stem cells (TSCs). p53 deletion reduces diploidization during the conversion and guarantees the generation of haploid-induced TSCs (haiTSCs). haiTSCs not only share the same molecular characterization with trophoderm-derived TSCs but also possess multipotency to placental lineages in various procedures. In addition, haiTSCs can maintain haploidy in the long term, assisted by periodic sorting and with reliance on FGF4 and heparin. Finally, we perform piggyBac-mediated high-throughput mutation in haiTSCs and use them in trophoblast lineage genetic screening. Deep sequencing analysis and validation experiments prove ...

Neither parthenogenetic (PG) nor androgenetic (AG) mouse embryos survive after day 9.5 of pregnancy, owing to the inadequate growth of extraembryonic tissues, including the placenta.

Our results indicate that TSC progenitors are distributed widely in the ExE, and then the ChE, prior to fusion with the EPC, on the basis of the non-local distribution of TSC colonies and lines in vitro (Table 1 and Table 2), and mitoses in vivo (Fig. 6A and Table 5). These findings are supported by the pattern of ExE cell division that revealed that labelled sister cells were frequently not immediately adjacent to each other (Fig. 2 and Table 3), indicating that considerable cell mixing and dispersal occurs during growth of the ExE/ChE.. The apparent non-coherence of ExE growth invites the suggestion that TSC progenitors originate in the proximal third adjacent to the epiblast, and become displaced distally upon division. However, this is unlikely as the ExE third abutting the epiblast, a region intensely expressing the diploid markers: Cdx2 (Beck et al., 1995), Err2 (Pettersson et al., 1996) and Eomes (Ciruna and Rossant, 1999) did not produce a significantly higher percentage of TSC colonies ...

Our group is interested in understanding and expanding our knowledge on development of placenta, the lifeline of the baby in Eutherian mammals. When the placenta develops abnormally or malfunctions, babies are born small and/or premature. This poses serious health problems to the mother and baby in peri-natal period leading to hypertension, bleeding and abnormal development of the brain, blindness, and gastrointestinal problems. Even when the small premature baby survives the neonatal period, s/he will face an increased risk of complications including cardiovascular disease and diabetes, adding to the already over-burdened healthcare system.. The overarching goal of research in our laboratory is to unravel the mechanism by which multi-potent trophoblast stem cells, the progenitor cells of the placenta, self renew as well as differentiate into various cell lineages of the placenta. We work on regulatory non-coding RNAs, transcription factors and cell signaling pathways that regulate trophoblast ...

In mouse, X-chromosome inactivation (XCI) can either be imprinted or random. Imprinted XCI (iXCI) is considered unstable and depending on continuous Xist expression, whereas random XCI (rXCI) is stably maintained even in the absence of Xist. Here we have systematically examined epigenetic modifications associated with the inactive X-chromosome (Xi) in Trophoblast Stem cells, eXtra-Embryonic Endoderm Cells, undifferentiated and differentiated Epiblast Like Stem Cells in order to understand intrinsic differences in epigenetic mechanisms involved in silencing of the inactive X-chromosome in lineages presenting iXCI and rXCI. Whereas euchromatic histone modifications are predominantly lost from the Xi territory in all cell types, the accumulation of heterochromatic modifications diverges in between the analysed cell lineages. Particularly, only the Xi of multipotent Trophoblast (iXCI) and Epiblast stem cells (rXCI) display a visible accumulation of Polycomb Repressive Complexes (PRCs), in contrast to the Xi

The mammalian placenta consists of different trophoblast cell types that assist in the variety of functions required for the maintenance of pregnancy. In rodents, labyrinthine trophoblasts of the placenta are especially important, because they are capable of differentiating into fused labyrinthine cells, which form the feto-maternal exchange surface. Even though the molecular signals triggering labyrinthine trophoblast differentiation are poorly understood, transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) has been shown to be present in the placental environment and alter trophoblast development. In this study, we investigated the effects of TGF-β on the differentiation of the labyrinthine trophoblast stem cell lines SM10 and HRP-1. RT-PCR analyses demonstrated that while the molecular expression of labyrinthine-specific lineage markers (Esx1, Tfeb, and Tec) was maintained in TGF-β-treated SM10 and HRP-1 cells, TGF-β induced the down-regulation of trophoblast stem cell markers Id2 and Cdx2. In contrast, TGF-β

TY - JOUR. T1 - Molecular analysis of regulative events in the developing chick limb. AU - Mahony, Chris. AU - Vargesson, Neil. PY - 2013/7/1. Y1 - 2013/7/1. N2 - The developing chick limb has the remarkable ability to regulate for the loss of large amounts of mesenchyme and maintain a normal limb pattern in early (Hamburger and Hamilton Stage 19; E3) limbs. How the limb can regulate for tissue loss and why this ability is lost as development proceeds (after Hamburger and Hamilton Stage 21; E3.5) is unclear. We have investigated the origins of cells involved in regulative processes and, for the first time, the molecular changes occurring, and find striking differences between developmental time points just 0.5 days apart. We demonstrate that subtle changes in cell dispersal and cell proliferation occur in HH St21 limbs but not in HH St19 limbs and also demonstrate that there is no net replacement of removed tissue at either HH St21 or St19. We further show that changes in the ...

The trophoblast cell lineage is an interesting model system because it is composed of a limited number of cell types that are spatially patterned. Trophoblast stem (TS) cells reside within a layer called the chorion and either remain as stem cells or differentiate into spongiotrophoblast (SpT), trophoblast giant (TG) cells or syncytiotrophoblast cells (SynT) of the labyrinth. Maintenance of the TS phenotype is dependent on stimulation by FGF4, whereas differentiation and/or maintenance of the differentiated derivatives are dependent on key transcription factors: Mash2 for SpT, Hand1 for TG cells and Gcm1 for SynT cells. TS cells proliferate and retain their stem cell phenotype in culture in response to FGF4 and an additional factor(s) that can be provided by conditioned medium from embryonic fibroblast feeder cells (CM). To understand the functions of Hand1, Mash2 and Gcm1 at a cellular level, we tested the effects of their ectopic and over-expression on the ability of TS cells to either ...

Eif2s1(tm1RjK) mice, in which Ser51 of eukaryotic initiation factor 2 subunit alpha (eIF2α) is mutated, display a 30w increase in basal translation. In Eif2s1(tm1RjK) placentas, we observed increased ER stress and anomalous accumulation of glycoproteins in the endocrine junctional zone (Jz), but not in labyrinthine zone where physiological exchange occurs. Placental and fetal weights were reduced by 15% (97mg to 82mg) and 20% (1009mg to 798mg) respectively. Mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) were derived from Eif2s1(tm1RjK) mutants. These MEFs exhibited ER stress, grew 50% slower and showed reduced Akt-mTOR signalling compared to wild-type cells. Conditioned medium (CM) derived from Eif2s1(tm1RjK) MEFs failed to maintain trophoblast stem cells in a progenitor state, but the effect could be rescued by exogenous application of FGF4 and heparin. ER stress promoted accumulation of pro-Igf2 with altered glycosylation in the CM without affecting cellular levels, indicating that the protein failed to ...

The limb bud is a structure formed early in limb development. As a result of interactions between the ectoderm and underlying mesoderm, formation occurs roughly around the fourth week of development as mesenchymal cells from the lateral plate mesoderm and the somites begin to proliferate to the point where they create a bulge under the ectodermal cells above. The limb bud remains active throughout much of limb development, and its signaling stimulates formation of another signaling center, the apical ectodermal ridge (AER) as well as formation of the zone of polarizing activity (ZPA) within the mesenchyme. The mesenchymal cells of the limb bud, which stimulate AER formation as well as maintain AER activity, determine what type of limb will form. ZPA signaling will establish polarity of the limb, as well as sustain proper AER activity. The upper limb bud appears in the third week of development and the lower limb bud appears four days later. Limb buds form from cells located in the greater limb ...

The congenital malformation split hand/foot (SHFM) is characterized by missing central fingers and dysmorphology or fusion of the remaining ones. Type-1 SHFM is linked to deletions/rearrangements of the DLX5-DLX6 locus and point mutations in the DLX5 gene. The ectrodactyly phenotype is reproduced in mice by the double knockout (DKO) of Dlx5 and Dlx6. During limb development, the apical ectodermal ridge (AER) is a key-signaling center responsible for early proximal-distal growth and patterning. In Dlx5;6 DKO hindlimbs, the central wedge of the AER loses multilayered organization and shows down-regulation of FGF8 and Dlx2. In search for the mechanism, we examined the non-canonical Wnt signaling, considering that Dwnt-5 is a target of distalless in Drosophila and the knockout of Wnt5, Ryk, Ror2 and Vangl2 in the mouse causes severe limb malformations. We found that in Dlx5;6 DKO limbs, the AER expresses lower levels of Wnt5a, shows scattered β-catenin responsive cells and altered basolateral and ...

The development of a vertebrate embryo is a complex process marked by several morphogenetic events, which create a highly reproducible pattern. The vertebrate limb has emerged as a model for studying pattern formation in the embryo mainly because limb manipulations do not affect embryo survival. Within the developing limb, experimental manipulation of the embryo resulted in the identification of the classical signaling centers known as the Zone of Polarizing Activity (ZPA) and the Apical Ectodermal Ridge (AER). The molecular signals required for function of the ZPA and AER have been identified. They are Sonic hedgehog (Shh) from the ZPA and Fibroblast Growth Factors (Fgfs) from the AER. The functions of each of these molecules are now beginning to be understood. Analysis of Shh and hedgehog (Hh) signaling target genes has shown that Hh activation in the limb bud mesoderm is required for normal limb development. It has been stated that Hh signaling in the limb bud ectoderm cannot occur because ...
