Project description:Haematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) reside in bone marrow (BM) niches where they are maintained to replenish all blood cell lineages throughout life. Among the constituents of the murine HSC niches, various cell types such as CXCL12-abundant reticular (CAR) cells, Nestin-GFP+ perivascular cells, leptin receptor (LepR)+ cells, endothelial cells, osteoblasts, sympathetic nerves, macrophages and megakaryocytes in the BM have been proposed to contribute to HSC niche activity. When niche cells are removed from their natural habitat, the ability to maintain HSCs ex vivo is markedly diminished. Mesenchymal-derived stromal cells (MSCs) identified by Nestin-GFP express high levels of niche factors in vivo, but their expression is downregulated rapidly upon culture, suggesting that alterations in transcriptional rewiring may contribute to the reduced HSC maintenance potential. We found that the enforced expression of 5 genes (Klf7, Ostf1, Xbp1, Irf3 and Irf7) markedly restored HSC niche function in cultured BM-derived MSCs. These revitalized MSCs (rMSCs) exhibited boosted synthesis of HSC niche factors while retaining their mesenchymal lineage differentiation capacity. By contrast to HSCs co-cultured with control MSCs, HSCs expanded with rMSCs showed significantly higher repopulation capacity. To evaluate to what extent rMSCs are reprogrammed toward freshly isolated MSCs, we compared, by RNA-seq analysis, the transcriptome of freshly sorted CD45(-) Ter119(-) CD31(-) Scf-GFP(-) cells, CD45(-) Ter119(-) CD31(-) Scf-GFP(+) cells, rMSCs and control vector-transduced stroma. HSC niche-associated genes were highly expressed in both native Scf-GFP(+) stromal cells and rMSCs compared to the Scf-GFP cell fraction and control MSCs. With the motif analysis of ATAC-seq data, we found that myocyte enhancer factor 2c (Mef2c) is one of the key factor in the revitalization of MSCs. These results suggest that rMSC may provide a promising platform for curative transplantation therapies.

Project description:Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) And osteolineage cells contribute to the hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) Niche in the bone marrow of long bones. However, Their developmental relationships remain unclear. Here we demonstrate that different MSC populations in the developing marrow of long bones have distinct functions. Proliferative mesoderm-derived nestin- MSCs participate in fetal skeletogenesis, And lose MSC activity soon after birth. In contrast, Quiescent neural-crest-derived nestin+ Cells in the same bones preserve MSC activity, But do not generate fetal chondrocytes. Instead, They differentiate into HSC-niche-forming MSCs, Helping to establish the HSC niche by secreting Cxcl12. Perineural migration of these cells to the bone marrow requires the ErbB3 receptor. The neonatal Nestin-GFP+ PDGFR- Cell population also contains Schwann-cell precursors, But does not comprise mature Schwann cells. Thus, In the developing bone marrow HSC-niche-forming MSCs share a common origin with sympathetic peripheral neurons and glial cells, And ontogenically distinct MSCs have non-overlapping functions in endochondrogenesis and HSC niche formation. Total RNA was isolated from small numbers of FACS sorted stromal cells, obtained from neonatal Nes-Gfp bone marrow preparations (2 biological replicates). Each independent set of samples was obtained from pooled skeletal elements (long bones and sterna) form multiple littermates.

Project description:The bone marrow (BM) niche comprised of BM endothelial cells (BMECs) and LepR+ mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs), plays a critical role in preserving the fitness of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). Aging is associated with defects in the BM niche that impair their ability to support HSC activity. However, mechanisms underlying age-related defects in the BM niche remain poorly understood. In this study, we identify BM niche derived Netrin-1 (NTN1) as a critical regulator of BM niche cell fitness during aging. Conditional deletion of NTN-1 specifically within BM MSCs or BMECs of young mice resulted in premature aging phenotypes within the BM niche including increased vascular leakiness, hypoxia, DNA damage and adiposity. On the other hand, supplementation of aged mice with NTN1 resulted in restoration of these hallmark niche defects and a rejuvenation of HSC activity. Mechanistically, we identify NTN1 as a critical regulator of DNA Damage Response (DDR) within BM niche cells and HSCs. In this experiment, RNA Seq analysis was performed on BM MSCs and BMECs following conditional deletion of NTN1 within BMECs or MSCs to characterize transcriptional alterations within BM niche cells resulting from a deficiency of niche derived NTN1.

Project description:Hematopoietic aging is defined by a loss of regenerative capacity and skewed differentiation from hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) leading to dysfunctional blood production. Signals from the bone marrow (BM) microenvironment dynamically tailor hematopoiesis, but the effect of aging on the niche and the contribution of the aging niche to blood aging still remains unclear. Here, we show the development of an inflammatory milieu in the aged marrow cavity, which drives both niche and hematopoietic system remodeling. We find decreased numbers and functionality of osteogenic endosteal mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC), expansion of pro-inflammatory perisinusoidal MSCs, and deterioration of the central marrow sinusoidal endothelium, which together create a self-reinforcing inflamed BM milieu. Single cell molecular mapping of old niche cells further confirms disruption of cell identities and enrichment of inflammatory response genes. Inflammation, in turn, drives chronic activation of emergency myelopoiesis pathways in old HSCs and multipotent progenitors, which promotes myeloid differentiation at the expense of lymphoid and erythroid commitment, and hinders hematopoietic regeneration. Remarkably, both defective hematopoietic regeneration, niche deterioration and HSC aging can be improved by blocking inflammatory IL-1 signaling. Our results indicate that targeting the pro-inflammatory niche milieu can be instrumental in restoring blood production during aging.

Project description:Myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) are diseases caused by mutations in the haematopoietic stem cell (HSC) compartment. Most MPN patients have a common acquired mutation of Janus kinase 2 (JAK2) gene in HSCs that renders this kinase constitutively active, leading to uncontrolled cell expansion. The bone marrow (BM) microenvironment might contribute to the clinical outcomes of this common event. We previously showed that BM nestin+ mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) innervated by sympathetic nerve fibres regulate normal HSCs. Here we demonstrate that abrogation of this regulatory circuit is essential for MPN pathogenesis. Sympathetic nerve fibres, supporting Schwann cells and nestin+ MSCs are consistently reduced in the BM of MPN patients and mice expressing the human JAK2V617F mutation in HSCs. Unexpectedly, MSC reduction is not due to differentiation but is caused by BM neural damage and Schwann cell death triggered by interleukin-1b produced by mutant HSCs. In turn, in vivo depletion of nestin+ cells or their production of CXCL12 expanded mutant HSCs and accelerated MPN progression. In contrast, administration of neuroprotective or sympathomimetic drugs prevented mutant HSC expansion. Treatment with b3-adrenergic agonists that restored the sympathetic regulation of nestin+ MSCs prevented the loss of these cells and blocked MPN progression by indirectly reducing leukaemic stem cells. Our results demonstrate that mutant HSC-driven niche damage critically contributes to disease manifestation in MPN and identify niche-forming MSCs and their neural regulation as promising therapeutic targets. Total RNA was isolated from BM CD45- CD31- Ter119- Nes-GFP+ cells obtained from Nes-gfp mice 10 weeks after transplantation with Mx1-cre;JAK2-V617F (n=3) or control cells (n=1). RNA was amplified using the NuGen Ovation system and hybridized to the Affymetrix MoGene 1.0 ST array.

Project description:Ex-vivo expanded mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) are increasingly used for paracrine support of hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) regeneration, but inconsistent outcomes have been the huddle for on-going clinical trials. Here, we hypothesized that the heterogeneity in the niche activity of manufactured MSCs can be a parameter for variable outcomes in MSC-based cell therapy. We first screened MSC culture medium and found that serum batches caused larger variations in colony forming unit-fibroblast (CFU-F) content of MSCs than individual donor variations. The culture conditions supporting high (stimulatory) and low (non-stimulatory) CFU-F caused distinct niche activity of MSCs; MSCs under stimulatory condition exhibited higher level expression of cross-talk molecules (Jagged-1 and CXCL-12) and higher support for HSCS during long-term culture than MSCs under non-stimulatory culture. Moreover, the effects of MSCs enhancing hematopoietic engraftment were only visible when HSCs were co-transplanted with MSCs expanded under stimulatory, but not non-stimulatory conditions. However, these differences of MSCs were readily reversed by switching the culture mediums, indicating their distinct functional state, rather than clonal heterogeneity. Accordingly, transcriptomic analysis showed distinct gene set enrichment between the different MSCs and revealed distinct upstream signaling pathways such as inhibition of P53 and activation of ATF4 for MSCs under stimulatory conditions. Taken together, our study shows that the heterogeneity in the niche activity of MSCs can be created during ex-vivo expansion to cause a difference in the hematopoietic engraftment and raise the possibility that MSCs can be pre-screened for more predictable outcomes in clinical trials of MSCs. Total RNA obtained from isolated human mesenchymal stromal cells. To compare stimulatory (SS) serum and non-stimulatory (NSS) serums, MSCs had been maintained in each serum media were sub-cultured for at least two passages before analysis.
