Project description:To evaluate the DNA methylation in LSK cells from the bone marrow of wildtype or Tet2/3 DKO mice. In order to address the impact of the loss of Tet2/3 proteins in DNA methylation in LSK cells, we compared by WGBS the methylome of wild and, Tet2/3 DKO LSK cells in bone marrow.
Project description:This SuperSeries is composed of the following subset Series: GSE30444: Retroviral Sox17 over-expression adult hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells microarray GSE30445: Sox17-transgenic hematopoietic stem cell microarray Refer to individual Series
Project description:The study was a comparison of gene expression using RNA-seq. We analyzed the stem and progenitor cells from WT and Vav-cre+ Tet2fl/fl Flt3-ITD (T2F3) mice. We isolated stem cells LSK (lin- sca+ kit+) and granulocyte-macrophage progenitors GMP (lin- sca- kit+ fcgr+ cd34+) cells from bone marrow. Comparisons were made across genotypes WT vs. T2F3 and cell types LSK vs. GMP. Comparison of WT and Tet2-/-Flt3ITD bone marrow stem and progenitor cells.
Project description:LKB1 encodes a Ser/Thr kinase and acts as an evolutionarily conserved sensor of cellular energy status in eukaryotic cells. LKB1 functions as the major upstream kinase to phosphorylate AMPK and 12 other AMPK-related kinases, which is required for their activation in many cellular contexts. Once activated, AMPK and AMPK-related kinases phosphorylate a diverse array of downstream effectors to switch on ATP-generating catabolic processes and switch off ATP-consuming anabolic processes, thus restoring energy balance during periods of energetic stress. To study the role and mechanisms of Lkb1 in the regulation of hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) biology, we performed transcriptome analysis of sorted LSK (Lin-, Sca-1+, c-Kit+) cells from Lkb1 WT and KO bone marrows at 1 day post-completing tamoxifen injection (DPI). To identify more proximal molecular effects, we chose 1 DPI due to the modest phenotypes in Lkb1 KO mice, yet documentation of efficient Lkb1 deletion in LSK cells at this very early time point. We treated Lkb1 L/L rosa26CreERT2 and Lkb1 L/L mice (C57BL/Ka-CD45.2:Thy-1.1 background) with Tamoxifen for 5 days to somatically delete Lkb1 in adult mice, and generated Lkb1 WT and KO mice. At 1 DPI, we prepared single-cell suspensions from bone marrow (from femoral and tibial bones), and stained and sorted LSK populations using FACSAria (Becton Dickinson, Mountain View, CA). The RNA was extracted from sorted LSK cells, amplified and subjected to gene profiling. The samples include 3 Lkb1 WT (Lkb1 WT 5-7) and 4 Lkb1 KO (Lkb1 KO 4-7) replicates.
Project description:We found PAD4, which is one of the transcriptional co-regulator by histone modification, was highly expressed in lineage-, Sca-1+, c-kit+ (termed as LSK) cells of mouse bone marrow. To find the target genes which are regulated by PAD4 in LSK cells, we analyzed gene expression in PAD4-deficient mouse as compared with wild-type mouse. Gene expression in wild-type and PAD4-deficient LSK cells
Project description:To describe the transcriptome of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells ( Lin-Sca-1+c-kit+ ) carrying alterations in minor spliceosome factors and/or epigenetic regulators related to the pathogenesis of myelodysplastic syndromes.
Project description:Murine long-term hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs), short-term HSCs and multipotent progenitor cells (MPPs) were isolated from bone marrow and expression profiled on Affy chips. The behavior of maternal-specific imprinting genes, particularly in the H19-Igf2 locus, was focused on, to see if any might be involved in maintaining quiescence of long-term stem cells.
Project description:Although Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation (HSCT) routinely treats hematologic disease, many patients experience adverse outcomes. Understanding the molecular regulation of HSC engraftment is paramount to improving HSCT regimens. Here, we executed a large-scale transplant-based functional screen for novel regulators of HSC repopulation.. Of >50 gene candidates tested, 18 were required for in vivo hematopoietic repopulation and two were detrimental to repopulation, as their loss enhanced this activity. Each Hit was validated in a second screen. Eleven Hits have never before been implicated in HSC biology. We further show that one novel Hit, Foxa3, is required for optimal engraftment as Foxa3-/- bone marrow is defective in both primary and secondary hematopoietic reconstitution. We also present evidence that Foxa3 is a novel pioneer factor in HSC. Each gene identified in our screen is a window into the cellular mechanisms that control hematopoietic reconstitution. Thus, this work represents a resource to the community to better understand these processes 3 FOXA3 KO samples are compared to 3 wt samples
Project description:The transcription factor SOX17 is expressed by fetal, but not adult hematoipoietic stem cells (HSCs), and is required for the maintenance of fetal and neonatal, but not adult, HSCs. In the current study we show that ectopic expression of Sox17 in adult HSCs and transiently reconstituting multipotent progenitors was sufficient to confer increased self-renewal potential and the expression of fetal HSC genes including fetal HSC surface markers. To assess the mechanisms by which ectopic Sox17 expression in adult hematopoietic progenitors increased self-renewal potential and conferred fetal HSC properties, we compared the gene expression profiles of E16.5 fetal liver HSCs, young adult bone marrow HSCs, young adult bone marrow CD48+LSK cells, and Sox17-expressing CD48+LSK cells isolated from mice that had been transplanted with MSCV-Sox17-infected bone marrow cells 12 weeks earlier. Total RNA (~5ng) was isolated from 3 independent, freshly isolated aliquots of 10,000 E16.5 fetal liver HSCs, 10,000 fetal liver CD48+LSK cells, 10,000 adult bone marrow HSCs, 10,000 adult bone marrow CD48+LSK cells, 10,000 Sox17-expressing CD48+LSK cells isolated from primary recipients 12 weeks after transplantation of MSCV-Sox17-infected bone marrow cells. Purified RNA was reverse transcribed and amplified using the WT-Ovation™ Pico RNA Amplification system (NuGEN Technologies) following the manufacturer’s instructions. Sense strand cDNA was generated using WT-Ovation™ Exon Module (NuGEN), then fragmented and labeled using the FL-Ovation™ cDNA Biotin Module V2 (NuGEN). 2.5µg of labeled cDNA were hybridized to Affymetrix Mouse Gene ST 1.0 microarrays.
