Dioxin exposure of human CD34+ hemopoietic cells induces gene expression modulation that recapitulates its in vivo clinical and biological effects

ABSTRACT: 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) has a large number of biological effects, including skin, cardiovascular, neurologic disease, diabetes, infertility and cancer. We analysed the in vitro TCDD effects on human CD34+ cells and tested the gene expression modulation by means of microarray analyses before and after TCDD exposure. We identified 253 differentially modulated probe sets, identifying 217 well-characterized genes. A large part of these were associated with cell adhesion and/or angiogenesis and with transcription regulation. Synaptic transmission and visual perception functions, with the particular involvement of the GABAergic pathway, were also significantly modulated. Numerous transcripts involved in cell cycle or cell proliferation, immune response, signal transduction, ion channel activity or calcium ion binding, tissue development and differentiation, female or male fertility or in several metabolic pathways were also affected after dioxin exposure. The transcriptional profile induced by TCDD treatment on human CD34+ cells strikingly reproduces the clinical and biological effects observed in individuals exposed to dioxin and in biological experimental systems. This series of microarray experiments contains the gene expression profiles of highly purified human CD34+ cells separated from the leukapheresis of normal donors stimulated with G-CSF and analyzed before and after in vitro TCDD (20 nM, 12h) exposure. 3 micrograms of total RNA were processed and 15 micrograms of fragmented biotin-labelled cRNA were hybridized to the Affymetrix HG-U133A chip following the manufacturer's instructions.

Project description:The transcription factor cMyb plays a key role in human primary CD34+ hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPCs) lineage choice, by enhancing erythropoiesis at the expense of megakaryopoiesis. We previously demonstrated that cMyb affects erythroid versus megakaryocyte lineage decision in part by transactivating KLF1 and LMO2 expression. To further unravel the molecular mechanisms through which cmyb affects lineage fate decision, we profiled the miRNA and mRNA changes in myb-silenced CD34+ HPCs. mRNA and miRNA expression for each sample were profiled by Affymetrix GeneAtlas U219 strip array and Exiqon Human miRNome PCR Panel, respectively. miRNA/mRNA data were integrated by Ingenuity Pathway Analysis. The integrative analysis of miRNA/mRNA expression changes upon c-myb silencing in human CD34+ HPCs highlighted a set of 19 miRNA with 150 anticorrelated putative target mRNAs. Among the miRNAs downregulated in myb-silenced progenitors with the highest number of predicted target mRNAs, we selected hsa-miR-486-3p based on the in vitro effects of its overexpression on HPCs commitment. Indeed, morphological and flow cytometric analyses after liquid culture showed that hsa-miR-486-3p overexpression in HPCs enhanced erythroid and granulocyte differentiation while restraining megakaryocyte and macrophage differentiation. Moreover, collagen-based clonogenic assay demonstrated a strong impairement megakaryocyte commitment upon hsa-miR-486-3p overexpression in CD34+ cells. Gene expression profiling of hsa-miR-486-3p overexpressing CD34+ cells enabled us to identify a set of 8 genes downregulated and computationally predicted, putative hsa-miR-486-3p targets. Among them, we selected c-maf transcript as upregulated upon myb silencing. Worth of note, c-maf silencing in CD34+ progenitor cells was able to reverse the affects of myb silencing on erythroid versus megakaryocyte lineage choice. Integrative miRNA/mRNA analysis highlighted a set of miRNAs and anticorrelated putative target mRNAs modulated upon myb silencing, therefore potential players in myb-driven HPCs lineage choice. Among them, we demonstrated the hsa-miR-486-3p/c-maf pair as partially contributing to the effects of myb on HPCs commitment. Therefore, our data collectively identified myb-driven hsa-miR-486-3p upregulation and subsequent c-maf downregulation as a new molecular mechanism through which cMyb favours erythropoiesis while restraining megakaryopoiesis. RNA from CD34+ HPCs transfected with c-myb-targeting/non targeting control (NegCTR) synthetic siRNAs was collected 24 hours post-Nucleofection for a set of 5 independent experiments.

Project description:Mononuclear cells were isolated from umbilical cord blood (UCB) using Lymphoprep sucrose-gradient centrifugation (1.077 g/ml, Nycomed Pharma, Oslo, Norway). Immunomagnetic cell separation, using magnetic beads coated with CD34 antibodies (Miltenyi Biotec, Gladbach, Germany), was performed to isolate CD34-positive hematopoietic progenitor cells (CB-CD34+ cells). To generate retrovirus, bicistronic retroviral DNA constructs were used expressing the ETV6-RUNX1 or AML1-ETO fusion gene and enhanced Green Fluorescent Protein (eGFP). As a control, a construct expressing only eGFP was used. Both vectors consisted of a pMSCV promoter region, an internal ribosomal entry site and an ampicillin resistance cassette. HEK293T cells were co-transfected with these constructs and second-generation retroviral packaging vectors using XtremeGENE 9 tranfection reagents (Roche, Basel, Switzerland). Viral particles were collected in IMDM 48 hours after transfection. CD34+ haematopoietic progenitors, pre-cultured overnight as described above, upon which cells were divided in two fractions. One fraction was transduced with ETV6-RUNX1-IRES-eGFP or AML1-ETO-IRES-eGFP, while the other fraction was transduced with control EV-IRES-eGFP. Transductions were performed with fresh retrovirus in retronectin (Takara, Otsu, Japan) coated wells. After sorting, DAPI- CD34+ GFP+ CB-CD34+ cells were lysed and RNA was extracted using Nucleospin RNA XS extraction columns according to manufacturer’s protocol (Macherey-Nagel, Düren, Germany). Quality of RNA was determined by on-chip-electrophoresis using a RNA Pico Chip according to manufacturer’s protocol (Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara, CA, USA). RNA Integrity scores (RIN) were higher than 8 for all samples. RNA was subsequently linearly amplified using the Nugen WT-Amplification™ pico system (Nugen, San Carlos, CA, USA). This system is based on RNA-dependent DNA polymerase activity and was previously reported to be most suitable for amplification and gene expression of picograms of input RNA.
