A Balance between Secreted Inhibitors and Edge Sensing Controls Gastruloid Self-Organization
Abstract: Summary The earliest aspects of human embryogenesis remain mysterious. To model patterning events in the human embryo we used colonies of human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) grown on micropatterned substrate and differentiated with BMP4. These gastruloids recapitulate the embryonic arrangement of the mammalian germ layers and provide an assay to assess the structural and signaling mechanisms patterning the human gastrula. Structurally, high-density hESCs lateralize their TGF-β receptors to their lateral side in…

“…Two-dimensional micropatterned colonies before BMP4 treatment (0 h) expressed POU5F1, SOX2, and NANOG uniformly ( Figures 1 A and 1E). At 12 h of BMP4 treatment, high pSMAD1 staining was restricted to the colony edge ( Figure S1 B), consistent with previous reports ( Etoc et al., 2016 ; Warmflash et al., 2014 ). TE marker GATA3 expression was generally confined to the outer edge, suggesting the initiation of differentiation ( Gunne-Braden et al., 2020 ).…”
