Vascular development is a pivotal aspect of embryogenesis, and its disruption can lead to developmental abnormalities or lethality. Although numerous studies have demonstrated a significant association between heme oxygenase 1 (Hmox1) and vascular biology, this link has not been reported so far during mouse embryonic development. Hmox1 is the rate-limiting enzyme that catalyzes the breakdown of heme to equimolar amounts of biliverdin, carbon monoxide, and ferrous iron. Here, we report that embryos lacking Hmox1 exhibit significant reductions in superficial blood vessel formation during mid-gestation, accompanied by organ-specific disruptions in vascular patterning. A comparative analysis of VEGF, VEGFR2, and CD31 revealed tissue-specific disruptions in angiogenic signaling and endothelial integrity in the brain, heart, and lungs of Hmox1-deficient embryos. The localization and abundance of these molecules were altered in affected organs, with isoform- and receptor subtype–specific expression changes raising the possibility of an impact on the structural integrity of developing vascular networks. These findings suggest that the absence of Hmox1 disrupts essential regulatory mechanisms required for angiogenesis, potentially contributing to the partial prenatal lethality observed in knockout embryos. Our results point to a previously unrecognized role for Hmox1 in regulating organ-specific vascular development during late gestation, with its deficiency leading to tissue-specific disruptions in angiogenesis and impaired blood vessel formation.
血管发育是胚胎发生的一个关键方面,其破坏可导致发育异常或致命。尽管大量研究表明血红素加氧酶1 (Hmox1)与血管生物学之间存在显著关联,但在小鼠胚胎发育过程中,这种联系迄今尚未报道。Hmox1是一种限速酶,它催化血红素分解成等摩尔量的胆汁素、一氧化碳和亚铁。在这里,我们报道缺乏Hmox1的胚胎在妊娠中期表现出明显的浅表血管形成减少,伴随着器官特异性血管模式的中断。一项对VEGF、VEGFR2和CD31的比较分析显示,hmox1缺陷胚胎的大脑、心脏和肺部的血管生成信号和内皮完整性存在组织特异性破坏。这些分子的定位和丰度在受影响的器官中发生了改变,异构体和受体亚型特异性表达的变化提高了对发育中的血管网络结构完整性影响的可能性。这些发现表明,Hmox1的缺失破坏了血管生成所需的基本调节机制,可能导致在基因敲除胚胎中观察到的部分产前死亡率。我们的研究结果表明,Hmox1在妊娠后期调节器官特异性血管发育中的作用以前未被认识到,其缺乏导致组织特异性血管生成中断和血管形成受损。

Sonic hedgehog (Shh) is a pivotal morphogen in spinal cord development, orchestrating both ventral neural patterning and progenitor proliferation. How these distinct outcomes are specified has remained elusive. Here, we uncover that Shh is secreted via two biochemically and functionally distinct exosomal pools. A dense vesicle fraction, Shh-P150, drives Smoothened–Gli1 signalling to establish ventral progenitor identities, while a lighter pool, Shh-P450, activates a Smoothened–Gαi–dependent pathway that enhances progenitor proliferation without inducing ventral fate. We identify Rab7, a late endosomal regulator, as essential for Shh-P150 biogenesis and for notochord-mediated ventral neural patterning. Loss of Rab7 biases secretion toward the proliferative Shh-P450 pool and disrupts morphogenetic signalling. These findings establish exosomal packaging as a molecular switch that toggles Shh between its mitogenic and morphogenetic roles. By linking exosome biogenesis to developmental outcomes, our work reveals a novel mechanism that safeguards the balance between pattern formation and progenitor expansion during neural tube development, with implications for both developmental disorders and disease contexts where Shh signalling is misregulated.
Sonic hedgehog基因(Shh)在脊髓发育过程中是一个关键的形态因子,协调腹侧神经模式和祖细胞增殖。这些不同的结果是如何确定的仍然是难以捉摸的。在这里,我们发现Shh是通过两个生化和功能上不同的外泌体池分泌的。致密的囊泡片段sh - p150驱动Smoothened-Gli1信号以建立腹侧祖细胞身份,而较轻的囊泡片段sh - p450激活smoothened - g - αi依赖通路,增强祖细胞增殖而不诱导腹侧死亡。我们发现Rab7是一种晚期内体调节因子,对sh - p150的生物发生和脊索介导的腹侧神经模式至关重要。Rab7的缺失使分泌偏向增殖的sh - p450库,并破坏形态发生信号传导。这些发现确立了外泌体包装作为一个分子开关,在其有丝分裂和形态发生作用之间切换Shh。通过将外泌体生物发生与发育结果联系起来,我们的工作揭示了一种新的机制,该机制在神经管发育过程中保护模式形成和祖细胞扩张之间的平衡,这对发育障碍和Shh信号失调的疾病环境都有影响。

WNT4 is a secreted protein that plays a critical role in the regulation of cell fate and embryogenesis. Biallelic variants in WNT4 have been linked to SERKAL syndrome, an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by 46,XX sex reversal and dysgenesis of the kidneys, adrenals, and lungs. SERKAL syndrome has only been described in a single consanguineous kindred with four affected fetuses. Additional features seen in a subset of affected fetuses included ventricular septal defect (VSD), congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH), and orofacial clefting (OFC). To determine if these additional features were likely to be caused by WNT4 deficiency, we used machine learning to compare WNT4 to genes known to cause VSD, CDH, and OFC. When compared to all RefSeq genes, WNT4's rank annotation scores for these congenital anomalies were 94%, 99%, and 98.5%, respectively, indicating a high level of similarity. We subsequently identified a second consanguineous family with SERKAL syndrome in which an affected fetus had CDH and an affected child had OFC. We then demonstrated that a subset of Wnt4 null embryos have perimembranous VSDs, anterior and posterior sac CDH, and soft palate clefts. These findings suggest that WNT4 deficiency can cause VSD, CDH, and palatal anomalies in mice and humans with SERKAL syndrome. These studies also suggest that our machine learning approach can be used as a candidate gene prioritization tool, and that targeted mouse phenotyping can serve as a means of confirming the roles of candidate genes in mammalian development.
WNT4是一种分泌蛋白,在细胞命运和胚胎发生的调控中起关键作用。WNT4的双等位基因变异与SERKAL综合征有关,SERKAL综合征是一种常染色体隐性遗传病,其特征是46xx性别逆转和肾脏、肾上腺和肺部发育不良。SERKAL综合征只在一个有四个患病胎儿的近亲中被描述过。在一部分受影响胎儿中看到的其他特征包括室间隔缺损(VSD)、先天性膈疝(CDH)和口面裂(OFC)。为了确定这些额外的特征是否可能是由WNT4缺乏引起的,我们使用机器学习将WNT4与已知导致VSD、CDH和OFC的基因进行比较。与所有RefSeq基因相比,WNT4对这些先天性异常的rank注释得分分别为94%、99%和98.5%,表明它们具有很高的相似性。我们随后确定了第二个具有SERKAL综合征的近亲家庭,其中受影响的胎儿患有CDH,受影响的儿童患有OFC。然后,我们证明了一小部分Wnt4缺失胚胎存在膜周VSDs、前后囊CDH和软腭裂。这些发现表明WNT4缺乏可引起SERKAL综合征小鼠和人的VSD、CDH和腭异常。这些研究还表明,我们的机器学习方法可以用作候选基因优先排序工具,并且靶向小鼠表型可以作为确认候选基因在哺乳动物发育中的作用的手段。

In mammals, extraembryonic tissues, such as the placenta and yolk sac, are the first cell types to be specified during development because they enable the embryo to take residence and thrive in the uterine environment. Among extraembryonic tissue types, primitive endoderm (PrE), which will eventually contribute to the yolk sac, is especially fascinating. The PrE itself is named for functioning like the embryo's original gut-like tissue. For many years, our understanding of the PrE was limited by the intrinsically challenging nature of accessing and observing this tissue. However, pioneering studies in mouse have gradually revealed that the PrE is more than just nutritive in function. In fact, the PrE lineage gives rise to signaling centers that oversee developmental processes within the fetus – through processes that are very likely conserved between rodents and primates. Thus, understanding the stages between PrE and yolk sac promises clinically relevant models, including stem cell embryo models, which could lead to enhanced success for in vitro fertilization (IVF). Here, we examine the functions of PrE in the context of embryos, stem cells, and embryo models.
在哺乳动物中,胚胎外组织,如胎盘和卵黄囊,是第一批在发育过程中被指定的细胞类型,因为它们使胚胎能够在子宫环境中定居和茁壮成长。在胚胎外组织类型中,最终形成卵黄囊的原始内胚层(PrE)尤其令人着迷。PrE因其功能类似于胚胎原始的肠样组织而得名。多年来,我们对PrE的理解受到访问和观察该组织的内在挑战性的限制。然而,对小鼠的开创性研究逐渐揭示了PrE的功能不仅仅是营养。事实上,PrE谱系产生了监督胎儿发育过程的信号中心——通过啮齿类动物和灵长类动物之间很可能保守的过程。因此,了解PrE和卵黄囊之间的阶段有助于建立包括干细胞胚胎模型在内的临床相关模型,从而提高体外受精(IVF)的成功率。在这里,我们研究PrE在胚胎、干细胞和胚胎模型中的功能。

Sea urchins have been a well-used model of fertilization and of the molecular biology of embryonic development. Our understanding of the molecular identity of adult tissues, on the other hand, has lagged significantly, a deficiency all too apparent following recent successes in mutational analyses in transgenerational studies. Here we present molecular analyses of gonadogenesis, with particular reference to developmental features emerging when a juvenile first begins to make eggs and sperm. We observed great variation in developmental time to reach fertility in Lytechinus variegatus, with the earliest gamete-producing adult at 4.5 months post-fertilization. Instead of age, or just size, we find the mass to test size ratio of 120 mg/mm test diameter is far more predictive of sexual maturity. Body size is also correlated with external developmental metrics of secondary spine formation, and opening of the gonadopores. In young juveniles, we identify an internal sac-like structure that by both morphological and transcriptomic analysis appears to be an indeterminant gonad that transitions into an ovary or testis. We follow this development into adulthood and compare the transcriptomes of these developing sacs and gonads to transcriptomes of all 16 major tissues of the adult. This result reveals a broad definition of the tissue types in a sea urchin, and displays genes that are differentially enriched, and/or specifically expressed by each tissue. Ovaries of developing juveniles and of adults show the greatest number of differentially expressed genes compared to all other tissues. These datasets serve as a guide for gene selection in traditional CRISPR/Cas9 mutagenesis, for design of integrated transposase reporters, and for parsing out specific functions in tissues that in combination give this animal its unique attributes.
海胆一直是受精和胚胎发育分子生物学的一个广泛使用的模型。另一方面,我们对成人组织的分子特性的理解明显滞后,这一缺陷在最近跨代研究中突变分析的成功之后变得非常明显。在这里,我们提出了分子分析性腺激素的作用,特别是参考发育特征出现时,一个少年第一次开始制造卵子和精子。我们观察到,不同品种的Lytechinus variegatus在发育时间上有很大的差异,在受精后4.5个月,最早的成虫产生配子。而不是年龄,或只是尺寸,我们发现质量与测试尺寸的比率为120毫克/毫米测试直径更能预测性成熟。体型也与次要脊柱形成的外部发育指标和性腺过孔的开放有关。在年轻的幼鱼中,我们通过形态学和转录组学分析发现了一个内部囊状结构,它似乎是一个过渡到卵巢或睾丸的不确定性腺。我们跟踪这一发育到成年期,并将这些发育中的囊和性腺的转录组与成年期所有16个主要组织的转录组进行比较。该结果揭示了海胆组织类型的广泛定义,并显示了每种组织中差异富集和/或特异性表达的基因。与所有其他组织相比,发育中的幼体和成体的卵巢表现出最多的差异表达基因。这些数据集为传统CRISPR/Cas9诱变中的基因选择、整合转座酶报告基因的设计以及分析组织中的独特功能提供了指导,这些功能组合在一起赋予了这种动物独特的属性。

Isl1 encodes a LIM homeodomain transcription factor, which is expressed in hindlimb progenitor cells in the lateral plate mesoderm and is required for initiating hindlimb development. Previous studies by lacZ transgenesis in mouse embryos identified a cis-element located 3’ to the Isl1 gene, which could drive lacZ reporter expression in hindlimb progenitor cells and the branchial arch ectoderm. We refer to this cis-element as the Isl1 hindlimb progenitor enhancer (HLPE). Our previous study also showed that SALL4, a transcription factor, is enriched at the Isl1 HLPE, suggesting that SALL4 may regulate Isl1 expression through Isl1 HLPE. We sought to determine whether Isl1 HLPE regulates Isl1 expression and created mutant mice that lack the Isl1 HLPE sequence by CRISPR/Cas9. The Isl1 HLPE−/− mouse lines, established after breeding with wild-type mice, did not exhibit gross morphological defects, except that their long bones are shorter than those of wild type. The shorter long bone phenotype was observed in the mid-gestation stage and was associated with misregulation of the expression of several chondrogenic genes, suggesting that the deletion of HLPE affects chondrogenesis. Although Sall4 regulation of Isl1 through Isl1 HLPE was suspected, skeletal analysis did not exhibit any synergy between Isl1 HLPE−/− and conditional Sall4 mutation. In situ hybridization showed seemingly normal expression of Isl1 and its downstream gene Tbx4 in Isl1 HLPE−/−, TCre; Sall4fl/fl mutants, and Isl1 HLPE−/−; TCre; Sall4fl/fl mutants. Finally, by quantitative gene expression analysis, Isl1 expression is reduced but not abolished in Isl1 HLPE−/− and Isl1+/−; Isl1 HLPE ± embryos, compared to wild-type embryos. Similarly, quantitative imaging analysis after immunostaining showed reduced ISL1 signals in the branchial arch ectoderm in Isl1 HLPE−/− embryos. These results support our notion that the Isl1 HLPE sequence functions as an enhancer for Isl1 expression in hindlimb progenitor cells and branchial arch ectoderm cells and suggest that multiple redundant enhancers co-regulate Isl1 expression.
Isl1编码一个LIM同源结构域转录因子,该因子在侧板中胚层的后肢祖细胞中表达,是启动后肢发育所必需的。先前在小鼠胚胎中转基因lacZ的研究发现了位于Isl1基因3'的顺式元件,该元件可驱动lacZ报告基因在后肢祖细胞和鳃弓外胚层的表达。我们将这种顺式元件称为Isl1后肢祖增强子(HLPE)。我们前期的研究也发现转录因子SALL4在Isl1的HLPE富集,提示SALL4可能通过Isl1的HLPE调控Isl1的表达。我们试图确定Isl1 HLPE是否调节Isl1的表达,并通过CRISPR/Cas9创建缺乏Isl1 HLPE序列的突变小鼠。与野生型小鼠杂交后建立的Isl1 HLPE-/-小鼠系,除了长骨比野生型短外,没有出现明显的形态学缺陷。在妊娠中期观察到较短的长骨表型,并与几种软骨形成基因的表达失调有关,这表明HLPE的缺失会影响软骨形成。尽管怀疑Sall4通过Isl1 HLPE调控Isl1,但骨骼分析并未显示Isl1 HLPE-/-和条件Sall4突变之间有任何协同作用。原位杂交显示Isl1及其下游基因Tbx4在Isl1 HLPE-/-、tcr中表达正常;Sall4fl/fl突变体和Isl1 HLPE-/-;TCre;Sall4fl / fl突变体。最后,通过定量基因表达分析,Isl1在HLPE-/-和Isl1+/-中表达减少但未完全消除;Isl1 HLPE+/-胚,与野生型胚比较。同样,免疫染色后的定量成像分析显示,ISL1 HLPE-/-胚胎的鳃弓外胚层中ISL1信号减少。这些结果支持了我们的观点,即Isl1 HLPE序列在后肢祖细胞和鳃弓外胚层细胞中作为Isl1表达的增强子,并表明多个冗余增强子共同调节Isl1的表达。

The three-dimensional organization of chromatin in the nucleus is critical in regulating gene expression. There are two classes of large genomic regions demarcated by the repressive chromatin modification histone H3 lysine 9 dimethyl (H3K9me2) and enriched at the nuclear periphery: lamina-associated domains (LADs); and H3K9me2-only domains (KODs) which have minimal lamina contact and are highly enriched for transcriptional enhancers. LADs have been studied in multiple cell types. In contrast, KODs have been characterized only in pluripotent cells and it remains to be determined whether they are fixed or rearrange according to cell type. Analysis of KODs from various embryonic mouse tissues revealed that KODs adopt cell type-specific configurations that correlate with changes in lineage-specific enhancer activity. Within KODs, local cell type-specific depletion of H3K9me2 was enriched for H3K27ac peaks at active lineage-specific enhancers. KODs were also enriched across ultra-long regulatory regions suggesting a role for KODs in long-range gene regulation. These results suggest that KODs are cell-type specific and maintain cell type-specific enhancers in a repressed state to allow for tissue- and stage-specific gene activation.
细胞核中染色质的三维结构对调控基因表达至关重要。有两类由抑制染色质修饰组蛋白H3赖氨酸9二甲基(H3K9me2)划定并富集于核周围的大基因组区域:层相关结构域(LADs);和H3K9me2-only结构域(KODs),这些结构域与层接触最少,转录增强子高度富集。已经在多种细胞类型中研究了LADs。相比之下,KODs仅在多能性细胞中有特征,它们是固定的还是根据细胞类型重新排列仍有待确定。对不同胚胎小鼠组织的kod的分析表明,kod采用与谱系特异性增强子活性变化相关的细胞类型特异性配置。在KODs中,H3K9me2的局部细胞类型特异性缺失在活性谱系特异性增强子的H3K27ac峰上富集。KODs还在超长调控区域中富集,这表明KODs在基因的远程调控中起着重要作用。这些结果表明,kod是细胞类型特异性的,并维持细胞类型特异性增强子处于抑制状态,以允许组织和阶段特异性基因激活。

The Drosophila medulla is the largest structure in the adult visual nervous system. It contains a vast population of interneurons comprising over 80 different cell types generated by medulla neuroblasts (NBs). Aging NBs express a series of temporal transcription factors (tTFs) that contribute to neuronal diversity. Recent studies have shown that an NK-2 homeobox gene scarecrow (scro) works as a tTF covering from middle to late temporal windows; however, how its expression is established over multiple windows and what roles it plays in individual windows remain largely elusive. We found the lack of scro expression in the middle of the Dichaete (D) domain, implying its expression is not in a continuum as previously eluded. Overexpression and knockdown assays of scro or other tTFs using various tTF-Gal4 drivers further revealed distinctive roles played by Scro at each window, including the last one. The oldest NBs positive for Tll and Scro found at the most proximal region of the developing medulla field attained expression of Gcm (the master factor of glial differentiation) and Nerfin-1 (a suppressor of dedifferentiation via Notch suppression), which in turn led to NB-to-glia differentiation. Downregulation of either gcm or nerfin-1 resulted in the formation of ectopic NBs at the expense of glial cells. Moreover, scro-knockdown led to a loss of Gcm, Nerfin-1, and Prospero expression, misregulation of Notch expression, formation of ectopic NBs, and a substantial reduction in glial cell population, suggesting that Scro acts upstream of Gcm and Nerfin-1. The chromatin-immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assays support that Scro regulates the expression of gcm, nerfin-1, and pros, as well as several tTFs, the expression of which overlaps with Scro. In summary, this study not only verified previously suggested roles of Scro but also uncovered novel features of this gene in various temporal windows, including the promotion of NB-to-glial transition and discontinuous expression within the D domain.
果蝇的髓质是成人视觉神经系统中最大的结构。它含有大量的中间神经元,由髓质神经母细胞(NBs)产生的80多种不同的细胞类型组成。衰老的NBs表达一系列有助于神经元多样性的时间转录因子(ttf)。最近的研究表明,NK-2同源盒基因稻草人(scro)在中后期的时间窗中起tTF覆盖作用;然而,它的表达是如何在多个Windows上建立的,以及它在单个Windows中扮演什么角色,在很大程度上仍然是难以捉摸的。我们发现Dichaete (D)结构域中间缺乏scro表达,这意味着它的表达不像以前所回避的那样是连续的。使用各种tTF-Gal4驱动因子的scro或其他ttf的过表达和敲低实验进一步揭示了scro在每个窗口(包括最后一个窗口)发挥的独特作用。在发育中的髓质场最近端区域发现的Tll和Scro阳性的最古老的NBs表达了Gcm(胶质分化的主要因子)和Nerfin-1(通过Notch抑制去分化),从而导致nb向胶质细胞分化。gcm或nerfin-1的下调都会导致异位NBs的形成,而胶质细胞则会受损。此外,Scro敲低导致Gcm、Nerfin-1和Prospero表达缺失,Notch表达失调,异位NBs形成,胶质细胞数量大幅减少,表明Scro作用于Gcm和Nerfin-1的上游。染色质免疫沉淀(ChIP)分析支持Scro调节gcm、nerfin-1和pros以及几种与Scro表达重叠的ttf的表达。总之,本研究不仅验证了之前提出的Scro的作用,而且揭示了该基因在不同时间窗口中的新特征,包括促进nbto胶质的转变和D域内的不连续表达。

The posterior ocular circulatory system comprises choroidal vasculature and central retinal and posterior ciliary arteries (PCAs) that are fundamental for ocular tissue maintenance. Much is known about the development of the retinal vascular system, but that of the posterior ocular circulation system remain obscure. Therefore, we aimed to clarify the development of the intraocular vasculature involved in the posterior ocular circulation system. Choriocapillaris and hyaloid capillaries are formed in situ and de novo through the endothelial differentiation of hemangioblasts. The intraocular segments of the hyaloid artery penetrate the retina before extraocular segments appear. The intraocular segments of PCAs arise from the hyaloid artery before the extraocular segments reach the eye. The posterior ocular circulation system apparently synchronizes with events throughout the entire process of ocular development. The intraocular vasculature notably formed before the extraocular segments reached the eyes. Our findings provide a novel perspective on ocular development and might facilitate understanding of eye diseases in humans.
眼后循环系统包括脉络膜血管、视网膜中央动脉和睫状体后动脉(pca),它们是维持眼部组织的基础。我们对视网膜血管系统的发育了解甚多,但眼后循环系统的发育仍不清楚。因此,我们的目的是阐明眼内脉管系统参与眼后循环系统的发展。绒毛膜毛细血管和玻璃样毛细血管是通过血管母细胞内皮分化在原位和新生形成的。眼内段的玻璃状动脉在眼外段出现之前穿透视网膜。pca的眼内段起源于眼外段到达眼前的玻璃状动脉。眼后循环系统显然与整个眼部发育过程中的事件同步。眼内脉管系统在眼外段到达眼睛之前就形成了。我们的发现为眼睛发育提供了一个新的视角,并可能促进对人类眼病的理解。
