Abstract In contrast to rodents, the mechanisms underlying human trophectoderm and early placenta specification are understudied due ethical barriers scarcity of embryos. Recent reports have shown that pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) can differentiate into (TE)-like (TELCs) trophoblast (TSCs), offering a valuable in vitro model study specification. Here, we demonstrate VGLL1 (vestigial-like family member 1), which is highly expressed during non-human primate TE vivo but negligibly mouse, critical regulator cell fate determination self-renewal TELCs TSCs derived from naïve PSCs. Mechanistically, partners with transcription factor TEAD4 (TEA domain 4) regulate chromatin accessibility at target gene loci through histone acetylation acts cooperation GATA3 TFAP2C. Our work relevant understand embryogenesis how it differs other mammalian species.

The placenta is a fast-evolving organ with large morphological and histological differences across eutherians, but the genetic changes driving placental evolution have not been fully elucidated. Transposable elements, through their capacity to quickly generate variation affect host gene regulation, may helped define species-specific trophoblast expression programs. Here we assess contribution of transposable elements human as enhancers or promoters. Using epigenomic data from primary stem-cell lines, identified multiple endogenous retrovirus families regulatory potential that lie close genes preferential in trophoblast.

In particular, a balance self-renewal vs. differentiation progenitors is critical for establishment pregnancy. A defect this process causes early pregnancy loss. Here, we showed that Hippo signaling effector, TEAD4, essential progenitor postimplantation mammalian embryos.

ABSTRACT Two recently developed models, trophoblast organoids and stem cells (TSCs), are useful tools to further the understanding of human placental development. Both differentiate from villous cytotrophoblast (VCT) either extravillous (EVT) or syncytiotrophoblast (SCT). Here, we compare transcriptomes miRNA profiles these models identify which they resemble in vivo. Our findings indicate that TSCs do not readily undergo SCT differentiation closely at base cell columns where EVT derives. In contrast, similar VCT spontaneous differentiation. A defining feature is leukocyte antigen (HLA) null, whereas expresses HLA-C, -G -E molecules. We find retain vivo characteristics. express classical HLA-A HLA-B molecules, maintain their expression after differentiation, with upregulation HLA-G. Furthermore, HLA differs when grown 3D rather than 2D, suggesting mechanical cues important. results can be used select most suitable model for study development, function pathology.

Abstract Correct development of the human placenta and its differentiated epithelial cells, syncytial trophoblasts (STBs) extravillous (EVTs), is crucial for a successful pregnancy outcome. STBs develop by cell fusion mononuclear cytotrophoblasts (CTBs) in placental floating villi, whereas migratory EVTs originate from specialized villi anchoring to maternal decidua. Defects trophoblast differentiation have been associated with severe disorders such as early-onset preeclampsia fetal growth restriction. However, evolutionary pathways underlying normal adverse placentation are poorly understood. Herein, we discuss Wingless (WNT) NOTCH signaling, two that play pivotal roles development. Whereas WNT necessary expansion progenitors stem NOTCH1 required proliferation survival EVT precursors.
