Abstract

The first lineage differentiation in mammals gives rise to the inner cell mass and the trophectoderm (TE). In mice, TEAD4 is a master regulator of TE commitment, as it regulates the expression of other TE-specific genes and its ablation prevents blastocyst formation, but its role in other mammals remains unclear. Herein, we have observed that TEAD4 ablation in two phylogenetically distant species (bovine and rabbit) does not impede TE differentiation, blastocyst formation and the expression of TE markers, such as GATA3 and CDX2, although a reduced number of cells in the inner cell mass was observed in bovine TEAD4 knockout (KO) blastocysts. Transcriptional analysis in bovine blastocysts revealed no major transcriptional effect of the ablation, although the expression of hypoblast and Hippo signalling-related genes tended to be decreased in KO embryos. Experiments were conducted in the bovine model to determine whether TEAD4 was required for post-hatching development. TEAD4 KO spherical conceptuses showed normal development of the embryonic disc and TE, but hypoblast migration rate was reduced. At later stages of development (tubular conceptuses), no differences were observed between KO and wild-type conceptuses.

TEAD4在非啮齿类哺乳动物的滋养层外胚层承诺和发育中的作用并不保守。

哺乳动物的第一个细胞系分化产生了内细胞团（ICM）和滋养层（TE）。在小鼠中，TEAD4 是 TE 承诺的主调控因子，因为它调控其他 TE 特异性基因的表达，消减 TEAD4 会阻止囊胚形成，但它在其他哺乳动物中的作用仍不清楚。在此，我们观察到，在两个系统发育相远的物种（牛和兔）中，TEAD4 的消减不会阻碍 TE 分化、囊胚形成和 TE 标记（如 GATA3 和 CDX2）的表达，尽管在牛 TEAD4 KO 囊胚中观察到 ICM 细胞数量减少。牛囊胚中的转录分析表明，虽然 KO 胚胎中与下胚层和 Hippo 信号相关基因的表达趋于减少，但消减对转录没有重大影响。在牛模型中进行了实验，以确定TEAD4是否为孵化后发育所必需。TEAD4 KO 的球形胚胎显示胚盘和 TE 发育正常，但低母细胞迁移率降低。在后期发育阶段（管状胚胎），未观察到 KO 和 WT 胚胎之间的差异。

期刊介绍： Development’s scope covers all aspects of plant and animal development, including stem cell biology and regeneration. The single most important criterion for acceptance in Development is scientific excellence. Research papers (articles and reports) should therefore pose and test a significant hypothesis or address a significant question, and should provide novel perspectives that advance our understanding of development. We also encourage submission of papers that use computational methods or mathematical models to obtain significant new insights into developmental biology topics. Manuscripts that are descriptive in nature will be considered only when they lay important groundwork for a field and/or provide novel resources for understanding developmental processes of broad interest to the community. Development includes a Techniques and Resources section for the publication of new methods, datasets, and other types of resources. Papers describing new techniques should include a proof-of-principle demonstration that the technique is valuable to the developmental biology community; they need not include in-depth follow-up analysis. The technique must be described in sufficient detail to be easily replicated by other investigators. Development will also consider protocol-type papers of exceptional interest to the community. We welcome submission of Resource papers, for example those reporting new databases, systems-level datasets, or genetic resources of major value to the developmental biology community. For all papers, the data or resource described must be made available to the community with minimal restrictions upon publication. To aid navigability, Development has dedicated sections of the journal to stem cells & regeneration and to human development. The criteria for acceptance into these sections is identical to those outlined above. Authors and editors are encouraged to nominate appropriate manuscripts for inclusion in one of these sections.
