Project description:The Gata2 transcription factor is a pivotal regulator of hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) development and maintenance. Gata2 functions in the embryo during endothelial cell to hematopoietic cell transition (EHT) to affect hematopoietic cluster, HPC and HSC formation. Although previous studies of cell populations phenotypically enriched in HPCs and HSCs show expression of Gata2, there has been no direct study of Gata2 expressing cells during normal hematopoiesis. In this study we generate a Gata2 Venus reporter mouse model with unperturbed Gata2 expression to examine the hematopoietic function and transcriptome of Gata2 expressing and nonexpressing cells.

Project description:Pluripotent stem cells (PSC) represent an alternative source of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). Clinical translation is impeded by limited engraftment of human (h)PSC-multipotent progenitor cells (MPP). This barrier suggests that additional cues are required for definitive hematopoiesis. We hypothesized that vascular niche producing Notch ligands Jagged-1 (JAG1) and Delta-like ligand-4 (DLL4) would drive definitive hematopoiesis. To test our hypothesis, hes2 human embryonic stem cells (hESC) 2 and Macaca nemestrina (Mn) iPSC line-7 were differentiated with cytokines ± endothelial cells (EC), which express JAG1 and DLL4. EC co-culture supported emergence of 8-fold more CD34+CD45+ cells compared to co-culture with cytokines ± ECs with JAG1 or DLL4 knockdown. EC-induced cells exhibit Notch activation and express HSC-specific targets of Notch signaling RUNX1 and GATA2. EC-induced PSC-MPP engraft at a higher level in NSG mice compared to cytokine-induced cells (10% >5 months), and selection increased engraftment (30%). Long-term engraftment and the myeloid-to-lymphoid ratio achieved with vascular niche induction is similar to levels achieved for cord blood MPP and up to 20-fold higher than hPSC-MPP engraftment. Our findings identify a previously underappreciated role for endothelial Notch ligands in PSC definitive hematopoiesis and production of long-term engrafting CD34+ cells and suggest they are critical for HSC emergence.

Project description:Human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) provide a powerful platform for studying the dynamic molecular network towards hematopoiesis. To date, a comprehensive roadmap at single-cell resolution for hPSC-derived hematopoietic differentiation has not been established. Here, we performed extensive single-cell transcriptomic analyses to map fate choices and gene expression programs during hematopoietic differentiation of hPSCs and identified strategies to improve the quantity and quality of hPSC-derived hematopoietic cells. By focusing specifically on cell populations and molecular events involved in endothelial-to-hematopoietic transition (EHT), the EHT was identified accompanying by a decline in aerobic metabolism and providing hypoxia in vitro enhances arterial and hematopoietic differentiation. Furthermore, arterial endothelial cells are validated as a critical regulator of definitive hematopoietic progenitor specification. Collectively, our study provides benchmark datasets to understand the origins of human hematopoiesis and presents an advance for guiding the generation of functional hematopietic cells in vitro for clinical applications.

Project description:GATA2 is a pivotal hematopoietic transcription factor required for generation and maintenance of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). Due to early embryonic lethality of Gata2 deficiency in mice, its role during adult hematopoiesis is incompletely understood. In zebrafish, mammalian functions of Gata2 are split between two orthologues: Gata2a and Gata2b. Previous studies have shown that Gata2b is prominently expressed in hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs), whereas Gata2a is mainly expressed in the vasculature. We found that Gata2b deficient zebrafish have a reduction in embryonic definitive HSPC numbers and have impaired myeloid lineage differentiation, but are viable. This allowed us to study the role of Gata2b in adult hematopoiesis. To assess the impact of Gata2b deficiency on the transcriptional profile of HSPCs and differentiated cells, we sorted the entire progenitor and HSPC population including the lymphoid population from kidney marrow (KM) of WT and germline Gata2b deficient zebrafish based on scatter profiles and processed for single-cell RNA sequencing. To enrich the scarce HSC population, we used pooled KM from two WT and Gata2b deficient Tg(CD41:GFP) zebrafish per sample and included all CD41:GFPlow expressing cells present in the kidney marrow pool as these cells were shown to contain transplantable HSCs.

Project description:Transcriptome analysis of adult hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) and their progeny has informed our understanding of blood differentiation and leukemogenesis, but a similarly transformative analysis of the embryonic origins of hematopoiesis is lacking. To address this issue, we acquired gene expression profiles of developing HSC purified from over 2500 dissected murine embryos and adult mice, and applied a network biology-based analysis to reconstruct the gene regulatory networks of sequential stages of HSC development. We found that embryonic hematopoietic elements clustered into three distinct transcriptional states characteristic of the definitive yolk sac, HSCs emerging from hemogenic endothelium, and definitive HSCs. We functionally validated several candidate transcriptional regulators of HSC ontogeny by morpholino-mediated knock-down in zebrafish embryos, confirming changes in the expression of HSC markers runx1 and c-myb in the aorta-gonads-mesonephros (AGM), the site of definitive HSC specification. Moreover, we found that HSCs derived from differentiating embryonic stem cells in vitro (ESC-HSC) most closely resemble definitive HSC, yet lack a signature indicative of specification by Notch signaling, which likely accounts for their deficient lymphoid development. Our analysis and accompanying web resource will accelerate the characterization of regulators of HSC ontogeny, facilitate efforts to direct hematopoietic differentiation and cell fate conversion, and serve as a model to study the origins of other adult stem cells. Hematopoietic stem cells and their precursors were isolated from mouse embryos and distinct stages and sites during development, purified by fluorescence activated cell sorting, and gene expression profiled on Affymetrix arrays. We also profiled HSCs and their precurors derived by in vitro differentitation of embryonic stem cells [expression data from GSE16925 and GSE14012 was used for mESCs, available at http://hsc.hms.harvard.edu/].

Project description:During development, hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPCs) arise from specialized endothelial cells by a process termed endothelial-to-hematopoietic transition (EHT). The genetic program driving human HSPC emergence remains largely unknown. We previously reported that the generation of hemogenic precursor cells from mouse fibroblasts recapitulates developmental hematopoiesis. Here, we demonstrate that human fibroblasts can be reprogrammed into hemogenic cells by the same transcription factors. Induced cells display dynamic EHT transcriptional programs, generate hematopoietic progeny, possess HSPC cell surface phenotype and repopulate immunodeficient mice for three months. Mechanistically, GATA2 and GFI1B interact and co-occupy a cohort of targets. This cooperative binding is reflected by engagement of open enhancers and promoters, initiating silencing of fibroblast genes and activating the hemogenic program. However, GATA2 displays dominant and independent targeting activity during the early phases of reprogramming. These findings shed light on the processes controlling human HSC specification and support generation of reprogrammed HSCs for clinical applications.

Project description:Identification of the regulators that lead to arterial specification with definitive hematopoietic potential should help to design strategies to recapitulate HSC development from human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs). Here, using ETS1 conditional H1 hESC line, we found that ETS1 induction at the mesodermal stage of differentiation dramatically enhances the arterial specification in hPSC cultures and formation of DLL4+CXCR4+/- arterial HE with lymphoid potential and the capacity to produce red blood cells with high expression of BCL11a and b-globin. ETS1 effect was mediated through upregulation of NOTCH signaling. Together, these findings demonstrated that promotion of arterial specification in cultures could aid in generation of definitive hematopoiesis from hPSCs.
