The first segregation event occurs during gastrulation, when the embryo is organised in three germ-layers, the ectoderm, the mesoderm and the endoderm. The molecular and cellular mechanisms ensuring this segregation have not yet been elucidated. During my PhD thesis, I have focused on the endoderm internalisation in the zebrafish embryo. Based on in vitro results, it has been suggested that germ-layer progenitors would be segregated by a passive cell sorting. Combining cell transplantation, live confocal microscopy and functional analyses, I have shown that endodermal cell internalisation actually results from an active migration process dependent on Rac1 and its effector Arp2/3, a direct regulator of actin. Strikingly, endodermal cells are not attracted to their internal destination but rather appear to migrate out of their neighbouring cells. This process is dependent on the Wnt/PCP pathway and N-cadherin. Furthermore, N-cadherin is sufficient to trigger the internalisation of ectodermal cells, without affecting their fate. Overall, these results lead to a new model of germ-layer formation, in which endodermal cells actively migrate out of the epiblast to reach their internal position. Au cours du développement, les cellules sont progressivement séparées dans des territoires distincts délimités par des frontières embryonnaires. La première ségrégation a lieu pendant la gastrulation, quand l’embryon s’organise en trois feuillets embryonnaires, l’ectoderme, le mésoderme et l’endoderme. Les mécanismes moléculaires et cellulaires assurant cette ségrégation n’ont pas encore été élucidés. Au cours de ma thèse, je me suis focalisée sur l’internalisation de l’endoderme chez le poisson-zèbre. À partir de résultats in vitro, il a été suggéré que les progéniteurs de feuillets embryonnaires soient ségrégés par un tri cellulaire passif. En combinant des expériences de transplantation de cellules, une imagerie confocale en temps réel et des analyses fonctionnelles, j’ai montré que l’internalisation des cellules endodermiques est due en réalité à un processus de migration active dépendante de Rac1 et de son effecteur Arp2/3, un régulateur direct de l’actine. De manière surprenante, les cellules endodermiques ne sont pas attirées par leur destination interne, mais semblent plutôt migrer hors de leurs voisines. Ce processus est dépendant de la voie Wnt/PCP et de la N-cadhérine. De plus, la N-cadhérine est suffisante pour induire l’internalisation de cellules ectodermiques, sans modifier leur identité. Dans leur ensemble, ces résultats conduisent à un nouveau modèle de formation des feuillets embryonnaires dans lequel les cellules endodermiques migrent activement hors de l’épiblaste pour atteindre leur position interne dans l’embryon. 3 4 Acknowledgements I cannot start my acknowledgements otherwise than by thanking my thesis director. Nicolas, what I can thank you for most is quite a difficult question. I probably won’t elaborate on your role in my entering the École Normale Supérieure as you keep saying you don’t remember the oral examination. Obviously I do. As I remember my first one-week internship that gave me the taste for research, the advice and encouragement you provided as my school tutor, until I finally joined the lab for my M2 and PhD. Thanks for the exceptional patience with which you taught me technical skills, scientific reasoning, oral expression competences... Thanks for your constant attention and the confidence you had in me. I do hope this is not the end of us working together. Because everyone needs an older sister, many thanks to Aline and Aurélie, you have both played this role wonderfully for me for five years. Thanks for your sensible advice for science and everyday life, provided over the screen of my computer or around the Luxembourg garden. Élodie, thanks for having been at my side during this time, because everyone also needs a twin sister, going through the same steps of academic life and fighting administrative obstacles set by the university. Thanks for your moral support during the not-too-good periods of my PhD, we have shared much more than lég’Ulm baskets during these years! Thanks to the students who have contributed to the young life of the lab. Julien, I forgive you for having abandoned me to the claws of Nicolas, thanks for your availability whenever I needed help when I first arrived… and even after! Thanks to Marina for her smiles and complicity, to Alex for his sarcastic humour, to Patrick for his big heart behind the metal madness, and to Gaspard for his teasing spirit. Students and postdocs are not the only contributors to a nice lab atmosphere. I thank all of the present and past members of the Rosa and Charnay labs. However I say a special thank you to Frédéric for giving me the opportunity to work in his lab, the precise scientific advice and the ironic smile when asking me about the “pourquoi du comment”; to Sylvain for being as hindered as me by France Musique’s social movements; to Pascale for her sense of humour and everyday kindness; to Patrick for the discrete attention to young members of the lab (and next-door lab) and the witty discussions after lunch; to Marika for the scientific life advice; to 5 6 Aurélie for the words of encouragement during the tea breaks; and to Firas for the care of our fish. Speaking of fish, thank you Estelle for your help when I needed embryos. I am really grateful to you as well as Stéphane and Alex at Jussieu’s fish facility. Many thanks also for your scientific advice as part of my thesis committee. Another colourful figure of my thesis committee was my “thesis godmother”; thank you Sonia for listening to my concerns and shouting the very personal optimism you have for scientific life. Let’s keep your motto in mind: « au pire, tout ce qui peut arriver, c’est que ça se passe très mal ! » Let’s now cross the Chanel and spend some time in Oxford. Thanks Jo for introducing me to the second-best model in developmental biology, and offering me my first opportunity to present my work at a meeting. Thanks Lexy and Stephen for the incomparable family atmosphere you gave to this lab. And finally, Jo, thank you so much for welcoming me repeatedly, I look forward to seeing more of you during my postdoc in London. A few words for my family, thanks for being each of you, in your own way, interested in my work, thanks for sharing my expectations, dismissing my doubts, and being always at my side. Thanks to my friends outside the lab and in particular my music partners.

Here, we used human embryonic stem cells and mouse epiblast stem cells to study specification of definitive endoderm in vitro. Using a combination of whole-genome expression and chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) deep sequencing (ChIP-seq) analyses, we established an hierarchy of transcription factors regulating endoderm specification. Importantly, the pluripotency factors NANOG, OCT4, and SOX2 have an essential function in this network by actively directing differentiation. Indeed, these transcription factors control the expression of EOMESODERMIN (EOMES), which marks the onset of endoderm specification. In turn, EOMES interacts with SMAD2/3 to initiate the transcriptional network governing endoderm formation. Together, these results provide for the first time a comprehensive molecular model connecting the transition from pluripotency to endoderm specification during mammalian development.

  • The Physical Mechanisms of Drosophila Gastrulation: Mesoderm and Endoderm Invagination
    | FLYBOOK DEVELOPMENT AND GROWTH The Physical Mechanisms of Drosophila Gastrulation: Mesoderm and Endoderm Invagination Adam C. Martin1 Department of Biology, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, Massachusetts 02142 ORCID ID: 0000-0001-8060-2607 (A.C.M.) ABSTRACT A critical juncture in early development is the partitioning of cells that will adopt different fates into three germ layers: the ectoderm, the mesoderm, and the endoderm. This step is achieved through the internalization of specified cells from the outermost surface layer, through a process called gastrulation. In Drosophila, gastrulation is achieved through cell shape changes (i.e., apical constriction) that change tissue curvature and lead to the folding of a surface epithelium. Folding of embryonic tissue results in mesoderm and endoderm invagination, not as individual cells, but as collective tissue units. The tractability of Drosophila as a model system is best exemplified by how much we know about Drosophila gastrulation, from the signals that pattern the embryo to the molecular components that generate force, and how these components are organized to promote cell and tissue shape changes. For mesoderm invagination, graded signaling by the morphogen, Spätzle, sets up a gradient in transcriptional activity that leads to the expression of a secreted ligand (Folded gastrulation) and a transmembrane protein (T48). Together with the GPCR Mist, which is expressed in the mesoderm, and the GPCR Smog, which is expressed uniformly, these signals activate heterotrimeric G-protein and small Rho-family G-protein signaling to promote apical contractility and changes in cell and tissue shape. A notable feature of this signaling pathway is its intricate organization in both space and time.

To examine the role of HNF-4 during embryonic development, we disrupted the gene in embryonic stem cells and found that the homozygous loss of functional HNF-4 protein was an embryonic lethal. Cell death was evident in the embryonic ectoderm at 6.5 days when these cells normally initiate gastrulation. As assessed by expression of Bracbyury and HNF-3P, primitive streak formation and initial differentiation of mesoderm do occur, but with a delay of ~24 hr. Development of embryonic structures is severely impaired. These results demonstrate that the expression of HNF-4 in the visceral endoderm is essential for embryonic ectoderm survival and normal gastrulation.

  • Investigation on the Origin of the Definitive Endoderm in the Rat Embryo
    J. Embryol. exp. Morph. Vol. 32, 2, pp. 445-459, 1974 445 Printed in Great Britain Investigation on the origin of the definitive endoderm in the rat embryo By B. LEVAK-SVAJGER1 AND A. SVAJGER2 From the Institute of Biology, University of Zagreb SUMMARY Single germ layers (or combinations of two of them) were isolated from the primitive streak and the head-fold stage rat embryos and grown for 15 days under the kidney capsule of syngeneic adult animals. The resulting teratomas were examined histologically for the presence of mature tissues, with special emphasis on derivatives of the primitive gut. Ectoderm isolated together with the initial mesodermal wings at the primitive streak stage gave rise to tissue derivatives of all three definitive germ layers. Derivatives of the primitive gut were regularly present in these grafts. At the head-fold stage, isolated ectoderm (including the region of the primitive streak) differentiated into ectodermal and mesodermal derivatives only. Endoderm isolated at the primitive streak stage did not develop when grafted and was always completely resorbed. At the head-fold stage, however, definitive endoderm dif­ ferentiated into derivatives of the primitive gut if grafted together with adjacent mesoderm. These findings indirectly suggest the migration of prospective endodermal cells from the primitive ectoderm, and therefore a general analogy with the course of events during gastrulation in the chick blastoderm. INTRODUCTION The origin of endoderm is one of the most intricate problems in the embryology of vertebrates (see Peter (1941) for review of older literature). According to the classical view the endoderm of avian and mammalian embryos arises by delamination from the epiblast ('Deuterendoderm') and therefore differs in its origin from the 'Protendoderm' of the amphibian embryo, which arises as a consequence of gastrulation (Peter, 1941).

  • Early Embryonic Development Till Gastrulation (Humans)
    Gargi College Subject: Comparative Anatomy and Developmental Biology Class: Life Sciences 2 SEM Teacher: Dr Swati Bajaj Date: 17/3/2020 Time: 2:00 pm to 3:00 pm EARLY EMBRYONIC DEVELOPMENT TILL GASTRULATION (HUMANS) CLEAVAGE: Cleavage in mammalian eggs are among the slowest in the animal kingdom, taking place some 12-24 hours apart. The first cleavage occurs along the journey of the embryo from oviduct toward the uterus. Several features distinguish mammalian cleavage: 1. Rotational cleavage: the first cleavage is normal meridional division; however, in the second cleavage, one of the two blastomeres divides meridionally and the other divides equatorially. 2. Mammalian blastomeres do not all divide at the same time. Thus the embryo frequently contains odd numbers of cells. 3. The mammalian genome is activated during early cleavage and zygotically transcribed proteins are necessary for cleavage and development. (In humans, the zygotic genes are activated around 8 cell stage) 4. Compaction: Until the eight-cell stage, they form a loosely arranged clump. Following the third cleavage, cell adhesion proteins such as E-cadherin become expressed, and the blastomeres huddle together and form a compact ball of cells. Blatocyst: The descendents of the large group of external cells of Morula become trophoblast (trophoblast produce no embryonic structure but rather form tissues of chorion, extraembryonic membrane and portion of placenta) whereas the small group internal cells give rise to Inner Cell mass (ICM), (which will give rise to embryo proper). During the process of cavitation, the trophoblast cells secrete fluid into the Morula to create blastocoel. As the blastocoel expands, the inner cell mass become positioned on one side of the ring of trophoblast cells, resulting in the distinctive mammalian blastocyst.
