Abstract

The regulatory mechanisms governing cell fate determination, particularly lineage diversification during mammalian embryonic development, remain poorly understood with in-depth regulatory paradigms yet to be fully elucidated. Here, leveraging the epigenetic landscape of mouse gastrula, p-Enh is identified, an enhancer located within the first intron of Cdx2 and epigenetically pre-marked in the primitive streak region, as a pivotal regulator for posterior tissue development in mouse embryos. Morphological and single-cell transcriptomic analyses confirmed embryonic lethality phenotype with disrupted posterior tissue development trajectories in p-Enh-KO embryos. Molecularly, apart from regulating the neighboring coding-gene Cdx2 in cis, the findings suggest that p-Enh also modulates the global transcriptome and epigenomic landscape, which might through the transient production of eRNA in trans. Further investigation revealed p-Enh-derived eRNAs participate in the regulatory cascades of TGF-β signaling by directly interacting with SMAD4 protein. Combinatorial modulation of TGF-β signaling and p-Enh-eRNA abundance can largely rescue the posterior development deficiency in in vitro gastruloids through a Cdx2-independent mechanism. Thus, a potential model is proposed in which the broadly distributed p-Enh transcripts within the nucleus can serve as essential cross-modular coordinators, priming the posterior development of mouse embryo.

原胃预先标记的后部增强子通过与TGF-β信号通路的交叉对话启动后部组织发育。
调控细胞命运决定的机制,特别是哺乳动物胚胎发育过程中的谱系多样化,仍然知之甚少,深入的调控范式尚未完全阐明。在这里,利用小鼠原肠胚的表观遗传格局,发现了p-Enh,一个位于Cdx2的第一个内含子内的增强子,在原始条纹区被表观遗传预先标记,是小鼠胚胎后组织发育的关键调节因子。形态学和单细胞转录组学分析证实了p- en - ko胚胎的胚胎致死性表型与后组织发育轨迹的破坏。从分子上看,p-Enh除了在顺式中调节邻近的编码基因Cdx2外,还可能通过在反式中瞬时产生eRNA来调节全局转录组和表观基因组格局。进一步的研究发现,p- enh衍生的erna通过直接与SMAD4蛋白相互作用参与TGF-β信号的调控级联反应。TGF-β信号和p-Enh-eRNA丰度的组合调节可以通过cdx2不依赖的机制在很大程度上挽救体外类胃原体的后发育缺陷。因此,提出了一个潜在的模型,其中广泛分布在细胞核内的p-Enh转录本可以作为必要的交叉模块协调者,启动小鼠胚胎的后发育。
