A developmental landscape of 3D-cultured human pre-gastrulation embryos

Knowledge detailing human pre-gastrulation embryonic development including spatial self-organization and cell type ontogeny remains limited by available twodimensional technological platforms that do not recapitulate the in vivo condition. Here, we report a three-dimensional (3D) blastocyst-culture system, which enables human blastocyst development through primitive streak anlage (PSA) formation. These 3D-embryos mimic in vivo developmental landmarks and 3D-architectures, including embryonic disc, amnion, basement membrane, primary and primate unique secondary yolk sac, anterior-posterior polarity formation and PSA. Using single cell transcriptome profiling, we delineate ontology and regulatory networks underlying epiblast, hypoblast and trophoblast segregation. Compared to epiblast, the grown amniotic epithelium shows unique and characteristic phenotypes. After implantation, specific pathways and transcription factors trigger differentiation of cytotrophoblasts, extravillous cytotrophoblasts and syncytiotrophoblasts. Epiblast undergoes pluripotency transition upon implantation and maintains its transcriptome until PSA generation as coordinated by different pluripotent factors. Using our 3D-culture approach, our findings elucidate the molecular and morphogenetic developmental landscape during early human embryogenesis.

Establishment of the anterior-posterior (AP) axis is a critical symmetry-breaking event in mammalian development. In mice, this process involves the directed migration of the distal visceral endoderm (DVE). Here, we use targeted perturbations to demonstrate that asymmetric perforations in the baseme...

Aneuploidy is frequently detected in early human embryos as a major cause of early pregnancy failure. However, how aneuploidy affects cellular function remains elusive. Here, we profiled the transcriptomes of 14,908 single cells from 203 human euploid and aneuploid blastocysts involving autosomal an...

Pluripotency, the ability to generate all body cell types, emerges in a disorganized embryonic cell mass. After implantation, these cells form a columnar epithelium and initiate lumenogenesis. During gastrulation, some undergo epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition to form the primitive streak (PS). T...
