Project description:Gene expression profiles of CD34+CD38- stem cells and more differentiated CD34+CD38+ progenitor cells were compared. Comparison of expression profiles of hematopoietic stem cells from fetal liver, umbilical cord blood, bone marrow and mobilized pheripheral blood allowed us to identify a unique set of genes with conserved expression during ontogeny. Experiment Overall Design: CD34+CD38- en CD34+CD38+ cell populations were isolated by cell sorting from human Bone Marrow, mobilized peripheral blood, umbilical cord blood and fetal liver. Total RNA was isolated from each cell population followed by the synthesis of biotinylated cRNA. After fragmentation the biotinylated cRNA was hybridized to affymetrix U133A chips.

Project description:Differences in chemo-sensitivity of subpopulations of AML stem cells could have important clinical implications. Using in vitro cytotoxicity, xenograft models and colony forming assays, we compared chemotherapy sensitivity between Lineage (Lin-)CD34-CD38-, Lin-CD34-CD38+, Lin-CD34+CD38- and Lin-CD34+CD38+ populations from 26 primary AMLs (19 paediatric and 7 adult). We identified a common recurring pattern of chemo-response associated with a poor clinical outcome: In each of 16/26 (62%) AMLs, Lin-CD34-CD38- cells were the most chemoresistant of the four subpopulations to daunorubicin in vitro. Cytarabine-resistant colonies formed only from Lin-CD34-CD38- populations following tertiary passages through both NOG mice and methylcellulose in these AMLs The presence of chemo-resistant Lin-CD34-CD38- populations was signficantly associated with reduced relapse-free survival in childhood AML. Consistently, CD34 negativity was significantly associated with an increased risk of relapse in a larger retropsective cohort (n=89). Samples enriched for chemo-resistant Lin-CD34-CD38- LSCs with a stem cell profile and an undifferentiated genotype revealed pathways likely to confer chemo-resistance, These strongly indicated dependence of chemo-resistant Lin-CD34-CD38- LSCs on their niche environment as well as deregulated DNA damage responses, lipid and Notch1 signalling, Our findings have major implications for the risk stratification of childhood AML and could lead to the development of novel therapeutic approaches. 3 subpopulations of leukemia stem cells from 9 patients with primary childhood AML were analysed. We compared gene expression profiles of Lin-CD34+CD38- (Q1), Lin-CD34+CD38+ (Q2) and Lin-CD34-CD38- (Q3) cells between 3 AMLs in which the CD34+ cells were most chemo-resistant (AML-1P, AML-6P and AML-10P) and the same cells from the remaining AMLs in which the Lin-CD34-CD38- cells were the most chemo-resistant population. We also compared the gene expression profiles of Lin-CD34-CD38- (Q3) cells in the 3 samples with the highest LC50 values (AML-15P, AML-17P and AML-19P) with that of the 3 AMLs exhibiting the lowest LC50 values (AML-2P, AML-5P and AML-11P).
Project description:Cord blood (CB) samples from normal donors were obtained with informed consent. Fresh CB samples were processed within 18-34h after collection. Mononuclear cells were isolated and CD34+ fraction was separated. CB CD34+ enriched fraction was lineage depleted by staining with purified anti-human CD2, CD3, CD4, CD7, CD8a, CD11b, CD14, CD19, CD20, CD56, CD235a followed by Qdot 605 conjugated goat F(ab')2 anti-mouse IgG (H+L). Cells were also stained with anti-human CD38-FITC, CD45RA-PE or -BV650, CD123-PE Cy7, CD90-biotin, CD34- PerCP and CD10-APC. Finally, cells were incubated with streptavidin-conjugated APC-eF780 and Hoechst 33258 (Invitrogen, final concentration: 1 g/ml). Populations were defined, as follows: HSC - Lin-CD34+CD38-CD90+CD45RA-CD10-, MPP - Lin-CD34+CD38-CD90-CD45RA-CD10-, LMPP - Lin-CD34+CD38-CD90-/loCD45RA+CD10-, MLP - Lin-CD34+CD38-CD90-/loCD45RA+CD10+, GMP - Lin-CD34+CD38+CD123+CD45RA+CD10-, CMP - Lin-CD34+CD38+CD123+CD45RA-CD10-, MEP - Lin-CD34+CD38+CD123-CD45RA-CD10-.

Project description:To identify a trajectory of human hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) activation we performed scRNAseq of CD34+CD38—CD45RA—cells from G-CSF-mobilized peripheral blood from 3 donors. We show that INKA1 and CDK6/PAK4 expressing single cells segregate across alternative states of quiescence.
