Pluripotent stem cells can be driven by manipulation of Wnt signaling through a series of states similar to those that occur during early embryonic development, transitioning from an epithelial phenotype into the cardiogenic mesoderm lineage and ultimately into functional cardiomyocytes. Strikingly, we observed that initiation of differentiation in induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) and embryonic stem cells (ESCs) triggers widespread apoptosis, followed by a synchronous epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). Apoptosis is caused by absence of bFGF from the differentiation medium. EMT requires induction of transcription factors SNAI1/SNAI2 downstream of MESP1 expression, and double knock-out of SNAI1/2, or loss of MESP1 in iPSCs blocks EMT and prevents cardiac differentiation. Remarkably, blockade of early apoptosis chemically or by ablation of pro-apoptotic genes also completely prevents the EMT, suppressing even the earliest events in mesoderm conversion, including BRA/T, TBX6, and MESP1 induction. Conditioned medium from WNT-activated WT iPSCs overcomes the block to EMT by cells incapable of apoptosis (Apop-), suggesting involvement of soluble factors from apoptotic cells in mesoderm conversion. Knockout of the PANX1 channel blocked EMT, while treatment with a purinergic P2 receptor inhibitor or addition of apyrase demonstrated a requirement for nucleotide triphosphate signaling. ATP and/or UTP was sufficient to induce a partial EMT in Apop- cells treated with WNT activator. Notably, knockout of the ATP/UTP-specific P2Y2 receptor blocked EMT and mesoderm induction. We conclude that nucleotides, in addition to acting as chemo-attractants for clearance of apoptotic cells can function as essential paracrine signals that, with WNT signaling, create a logical AND gate for mesoderm specification.
