ZEB2 is a multi-zinc-finger transcription factor known to play a significant role in early neurogenesis and in epithelial-mesenchymal transition-dependent tumor metastasis. Although the function of ZEB2 in T lymphocytes is unknown, activity of the closely related family member ZEB1 has been implicated in lymphocyte development. Here, we find that ZEB2 expression is up-regulated by activated T cells, specifically in the KLRG1(hi) effector CD8(+) T cell subset. Loss of ZEB2 expression results in a significant loss of antigen-specific CD8(+) T cells after primary and secondary infection with a severe impairment in the generation of the KLRG1(hi) effector memory cell population. We show that ZEB2, which can bind DNA at tandem, consensus E-box sites, regulates gene expression of several E-protein targets and may directly repress Il7r and Il2 in CD8(+) T cells responding to infection. Furthermore, we find that T-bet binds to highly conserved T-box sites in the Zeb2 gene and that T-bet and ZEB2 regulate similar gene expression programs in effector T cells, suggesting that T-bet acts upstream and through regulation of ZEB2. Collectively, we place ZEB2 in a larger transcriptional network that is responsible for the balance between terminal differentiation and formation of memory CD8(+) T cells.

The transcription factor Zeb2 controls fate specification and subsequent differentiation and maturation of multiple cell types in various embryonic tissues. It binds many protein partners, including activated Smad proteins and the NuRD co-repressor complex. How Zeb2 subdomains support cell differentiation in various contexts has remained elusive. Here, we have studied the role of Zeb2 and its domains in neurogenesis and neural differentiation in the young postnatal ventricular-subventricular zone (V-SVZ), where neural stem cells generate olfactory bulb-destined interneurons. Conditional Zeb2 knockouts and separate acute loss- and gain-of-function approaches indicated that Zeb2 is essential to control apoptosis and neuronal differentiation of V-SVZ progenitors before and after birth, and identified Sox6 as Zeb2-dependent and potential downstream target gene. Zeb2 genetic inactivation impaired the differentiation potential of the VSVZ niche in a cell-autonomous fashion. We also provide evidence that its normal function in the VSVZ involves non-autonomous mechanisms as well. Additionally, we could demonstrate distinct roles for Zeb2 protein-binding domains, suggesting that Zeb2 partners co-determine neuronal output from the mouse V-SVZ in both quantitative and qualitative manners in early postnatal life.

Cooperative actions of extrinsic signals and cell-intrinsic transcription factors alter gene regulatory networks enabling cells to respond appropriately to environmental cues. Signaling by transforming growth factor type β (TGFβ) family ligands (eg, bone morphogenetic proteins [BMPs] and Activin/Nodal) exerts cell-type specific and context-dependent transcriptional changes, thereby steering cellular transitions throughout embryogenesis. Little is known about coordinated regulation and transcriptional interplay of the TGFβ system. To understand intrafamily transcriptional regulation as part of this system's actions during development, we selected 95 of its components and investigated their mRNA-expression dynamics, gene-gene interactions, and single-cell expression heterogeneity in mouse embryonic stem cells transiting to neural progenitors. Interrogation at 24 hour intervals identified four types of temporal gene transcription profiles that capture all stages, that is, pluripotency, epiblast formation, and neural commitment. Then, between each stage we performed esiRNA-based perturbation of each individual component and documented the effect on steady-state mRNA levels of the remaining 94 components. This exposed an intricate system of multilevel regulation whereby the majority of gene-gene interactions display a marked cell-stage specific behavior. Furthermore, single-cell RNA-profiling at individual stages demonstrated the presence of detailed co-expression modules and subpopulations showing stable co-expression modules such as that of the core pluripotency genes at all stages. Our combinatorial experimental approach demonstrates how intrinsically complex transcriptional regulation within a given pathway is during cell fate/state transitions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Zeb2, Embryonic stem cell, brain delevopment - Abstract
Cell fate decisions during embryogenesis and in proliferation and regeneration competent adult tissues and organs are orchestrated by large numbers of regulators including transcription factors, non-coding RNAs, epigenetic modifiers and longer-range genomic interactions, each downstream of extrinsic signals and their intracellular signal transduction effector proteins. Zeb2 is a DNA-binding transcription factor that steers in such context many cellular processes during early and late embryogenesis, and knowledge is emerging about its role in various adult tissues/organs as well, especially in challenge conditions like tissue organ failure. Mutations in one allele of ZEB2 in humans cause Mowat-Wilson syndrome (MOWS) characterized by severe intellectual disability and, varying from patient to patient, epilepsy, Hirschsprung disease and other defects. In the mouse Zeb2 has been show, including by our laboratory, to regulate different aspects of central and peripheral nervous system (CNS, PNS, respectively) development as well as their post-natal functions. The same applies to embryonic and adult hematopoiesis, T-cell lineage development and function, and e.g. myelinogenesis in the CNS and (re)myelination by Schwann cells in the PNS. In addition, deregulation of the levels of Zeb2, e.g.. an abnormal increase, contributes (in this case) to many cancers and correlates with bad prognosis in humans, as supported by Zeb2 overexpression mouse models. The action mechanisms by which Zeb2, in concert with many of its emerging protein partners, steers neurogenesis and gliogenesis can be studied in cultured embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and the early CNS in vivo. In human ESCs, intact levels of ZEB2 were shown to be essential for effective neuroectoderm differentiation. The goals of this PhD project were to understand where, when and how Zeb2 functions (i) during mouse brain cortex development (using an in vivo approach) and (ii) in pluripotency and subsequent differentiation of mouse ESCs (in vitro approach). Genetic inactivation of both alleles of Zeb2 in early neural progenitors (using a Nestin-Cre approach), from dorsal telencephalon (Emx1-Cre) as well as in post-mitotic (NEX-Cre) upper layer neurons in the forming cortex in the embryonic forebrain causes a shift forward in the timing of first embryonic neurogenesis followed by embryonic and early post-natal gliogenesis. This leads to the expansion of the upper layers of the cortex at the expense of the (earlier born) cells of the deeper layers. Using gene expression profiling followed by validation, which is an essential part of this work and this PhD project, we identified neurotrophin-3 (Nt3) and fibroblast growth factor-9 (Fgf9) as extrinsic factors whose levels were significantly increased in the upper layer cells of the Zeb2 knockout (KO) embryonic brain cortex as compared to control. In this way, Zeb2 regulates the generation of subsequent waves of neurogenesis (steered by Nt3 that acts on its Trk receptor complex in the progenitor cells and promotes neurogenesis) and of gliogenesis (via Fgf9 that acts on its receptors there) emanating from the Zeb2-negative progenitor cells in the cortex. Importantly, this work identified Zeb2 as the first transcription factor acting in a cell non-autonomous fashion in cortex development. In the second part of this PhD research the focus was on the role(s) and action mechanism(s) of Zeb2 in pluripotency and during differentiation of ESCs. For this, Zeb2-deficient (KO) ESCs were established. Using these novel, unique tools in combination with omics, this PhD project was able to add important new functional and mechanistic insight to previous findings. We discovered that Zeb2 is critical for exit from the epiblast state in mouse ESCs and links the pluripotency network and DNA-methylation with irreversible commitment to neural and general differentiation. In particular, we show that Zeb2 KO ESCs display impaired differentiation in embryoid bodies by stalling in an epiblast-like state. Using RNA-Seq we further conclude that Zeb2 mainly acts here as a transcriptional repressor for many genes, either directly or indirectly, in differentiating conditions. Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), pluripotency, lineage commitment and DNA-(de)methylation genes are deregulated in Zeb2 KO embryoid bodies. By using methylome analysis, we demonstrate these mutant cells cannot maintain their initially acquired DNA-methylation marks in neural-stimulating condition and do not effectively downregulate Oct4, Nanog and Tet1 in differentiation conditions. Tet1 knockdown by RNA interference partially rescues the impaired differentiation of these KO cells. Another part of the PhD project investigated, starting again from the RNA-Seq data, the neuronal inhibitory REST gene, one of the genes whose expression was not silenced in Zeb2 KO ESCs, unlike in normal ESCs. Like for the Tet1 studies, stable REST knockdown lines were established in the Zeb2 KO background. The neural differentiation capacity of such cells line was also partially restored, indicating that REST is another important Zeb2-dependent gene in ESCs. In a last set of experiments, which provide the strong basis for future structure-function analysis of Zeb2 (and hence insight into its functional domains) in this ESC system, the neurodevelopmental potential of Zeb2 Smad-binding domain (SBD) mutant cells was documented. We observed that deletion of the SBD from Zeb2 had a positive effect on neural differentiation, indicating that this Zeb2 domain, and hence possibly its interaction with Smads, co-determines Zeb2’s neural-inducing activity.

MAMMALIAN embryos ,ECTODERM ,SMAD proteins - Abstract
Upon gastrulation, the mammalian conceptus transforms rapidly from a simple bilayer into a multilayered embryo enveloped by its extra-embryonic membranes. Impaired development of the amnion, the innermost membrane, causes major malformations. To clarify the origin of the mouse amnion,we used single-cell labelling and clonal analysis. We identified four clone types with distinct clonal growth patterns in amniotic ectoderm. Two main types have progenitors in extreme proximal-anterior epiblast. Early descendants initiate and expand amniotic ectoderm posteriorly, while descendants of cells remaining anteriorly later expand amniotic ectoderm from its anterior side. Amniogenesis is abnormal in embryos deficient in the bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signalling effector SMAD5, with delayed closure of the proamniotic canal, and aberrant amnion and folding morphogenesis. Transcriptomics of individual Smad5 mutant amnions isolated before visible malformations and tetraploid chimera analysis revealed two amnion defect sets. We attribute them to impairment of progenitors of the two main cell populations in amniotic ectoderm and to compromised cuboidal-to-squamous transition of anterior amniotic ectoderm. In both cases, SMAD5 is crucial for expanding amniotic ectoderm rapidly into a stretchable squamous sheet to accommodate exocoelom expansion, axial growth and folding morphogenesis.

- Abstract
A bstract In human embryonic stem cells (ESCs) the transcription factor Zeb2 regulates neuroectoderm versus mesendoderm formation, but it is unclear how Zeb2 affects the global transcriptional regulatory network in these cell-fate decisions. We generated Zeb2 knockout (KO) mouse ESCs, subjected them as embryoid bodies (EBs) to neural and general differentiation and carried out temporal RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) and reduced representation bisulfite sequencing (RRBS) analysis in neural differentiation. This shows that Zeb2 acts preferentially as a transcriptional repressor associated with developmental progression and that Zeb2 KO ESCs can exit from their naïve state. However, most cells in these EBs stall in an early epiblast-like state and are impaired in both neural and mesendodermal differentiation. Genes involved in pluripotency, epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT), and DNA-(de)methylation, including Tet1, are deregulated in the absence of Zeb2. The observed elevated Tet1 levels in the mutant cells and the knowledge of previously mapped Tet1-binding sites correlate with loss-of-methylation in neural-stimulating conditions, however, after the cells initially acquired the correct DNA-methyl marks. Interestingly, cells from such Zeb2 KO EBs maintain the ability to re-adapt to 2i + LIF conditions even after prolonged differentiation, while knockdown of Tet1 partially rescues their impaired differentiation. Hence, in addition to its role in EMT, Zeb2 is critical in ESCs for exit from the epiblast state, and links the pluripotency network and DNA-methylation with irreversible commitment to differentiation.
