Lecture 13
Cell Fate
o
During mammalian preimplantation embryonic development, the embryo has to
decide how to set apart the first 2 cell populations
Inner Cell Mass
(ICM): Origin of embryonic stem cells,
Outer cells, also known as Trophectoderm (TE)
o
Cell Fate Decision
: Progenitors preparing for committing to a cell type
Debates on the First Cell Fate Decision
o
Equivalence Hypothesis
: Suggests that the individual cell in 2-cell and 4-cell
embryos are homogeneous (more popular hypothesis)
Any quantitative differences between the cells are either irrelevant to cell
fate or produced as random noises
o
Asymmetric Hypothesis
: Suggests that the individual cells in 2-cell and 4-cell
embryos are not equivalent (less supporting data)
There are reproducible quantitative differences of molecules,
modifications, external clues or orientations between the cells, which may
influence the cell toward the specification of a cell lineage
Our Solution: Single-Cell RNA Sequencing
o
49 single cells:
9 1-cell embryos
20 single cells from 2-cell embryos
20 single cells from 4-cell embryos
