(Submitter supplied) In hESCs, Wnt3/β-catenin activity is low and Activin/SMAD signaling ensures NANOG expression to sustain pluripotency. In response to exogenous Wnt3 effectors, Activin/SMADs switch to cooperate with β-catenin and induce mesendodermal differentiation genes. We show here that the HIPPO effector YAP binds to the WNT3 gene enhancer and prevents the gene from being induced by Activin in proliferating hESCs. more...

(Submitter supplied) The gastrulation process is controlled by the interplay between morphogenetic signals from BMP, WNT and NODAL pathways. Increasing evidences support an emerging role of the Hippo-YAP signaling in the cell-fate decisions that guide lineage specification in mouse and human Embryonic Stem Cells (hESCs). However, the contribution of YAP to the process of gastrulation in hESCs remains unknown. Here, we show that YAP1 regulates the specification, size and patterning of the three-germ layers. more...

(Submitter supplied) Specifying the primitive streak (PS) guides stem cell differentiation in vitro, however much remains to be learned about the transcription networks that direct anterior and posterior PS cells (APS and PPS, respectively) to differentiate to distinct mesendodermal subpopulations. Here, we show that APS genes are predominantly induced in YAP1-/- hESCs in response to ACTIVIN. This finding establishes the Hippo effector YAP1 as a master regulator of PS specification, functioning to repress ACTIVIN-regulated APS genes in hESCs. more...

(Submitter supplied) The Wnt3a/β-catenin and Activin/Smad2,3 signaling pathways synergize to induce endodermal differentiation of human embryonic stem cells, however the mechanism is not well-understood. Using ChIP-seq and GRO-seq analyses, we report here that hESC enhancers, including Wnt3a/LEF-1 sites, hold enhancer RNAPII complexes (eRNAPII) containing high levels of Ser5P and low Ser7P. In Wnt3a signaling, β-catenin recruits cohesin to the LEF-1:eRNAPII sites to induce enhancer-promoter looping and activate transcription of mesoendodermal (ME) genes. more...

(Submitter supplied) To determine the in vivo cellular identity of BMP-treated human embryonic stem cells (hESCs), we performed bulk RNA sequencing data of hESCs under pluripotency and BMP-treated conditions. Our analyses show that BMP-treated hESCs resemble human trophoblast cells in vivo.

(Submitter supplied) Activin and Wnt signaling are necessary and sufficient for mesendoderm (ME) differentiation of human embryonic stem cells (hESCs). In this study, we report that during the Activin and Wnt induced ME differentiation, Activin/Smad2 induces decrease of the repressive histone modification H3K27me3 by promoting proteasome-dependent degradation of EZH2. As a result, recruitment of the forkhead protein FOXH1 on open chromatin regions integrates the signals of Activin/Smad2 and Wnt/β-catenin to activate the expression of the ME genes including HAS2 and ALDH3A2. more...

(Submitter supplied) Nodal and Activin are morphogens of the TGFbeta superfamily of signaling molecules that direct differential cell fate decisions in a dose- and distance-dependent manner. During early embryonic development the Nodal/Activin pathway is responsible for the specification of mesoderm, endoderm, node and mesendoderm. In contradiction to this drive towards cellular differentiation, the pathway also plays important roles in the maintenance of self-renewal and pluripotency in embryonic and epiblast stem cells. more...

(Submitter supplied) The TGF-β superfamily member Nodal triggers mesendoderm differentiation in embryonic stem (ES) cells. This transition however requires cooperating Wnt signaling inputs. Here we report that p53, a powerful tumor suppressor in adult tissues, orchestrates this cooperation. We show that p53, which is released from inhibition as mouse ES cells exit from pluripotency, acts as a direct inducer of Wnt3 expression. more...

(Submitter supplied) We applied BMP4 to circular micropattern cultures to differentiate human embryonic stem cells (H1 hESCs) into microcolonies termed ‘gastruloids’, comprising germ layer and extraembryonic cells. Time-course single cell RNA-sequencing was performed at 0h (immediately before BMP4 treatment), 12h, and 24h after BMP4 treatment. Combining these 0h, 12h, and 24h datasets with previously generated 44h datasets, we report transcriptomic dynamics over the course of BMP4-driven differentiation in micropatterned cultures.

(Submitter supplied) Bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signaling is known to support differentiation of human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) into mesoderm and extraembryonic lineages, whereas other signaling pathways can largely influence this lineage specification. Here, we set out to reinvestigate the influence of ACTIVIN/NODAL and fibroblast growth factor (FGF) pathways on the lineage choices made by hESCs during BMP4-driven differentiation. more...
