Project description:Crosstalk between mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) and hematopoietic stem and cells (HSCs) is essential for hematopoietic homeostasis and lineage output. Here, we investigate the role of Early B-cell factor 1 (EBF1) in MSCs to support hematopoiesis. Ebf1-/- MSCs have reduced mesenchymal lineage potential. Ebf1 deletion in Cxcl12-abundant reticular (CAR) cells and PDGFRα+Sca1+CD45-CD31-Lin- (PαS) cells in the bone marrow decreases the numbers of HSPCs and myeloid cells. Single cell and bulk transcriptome analysis, combined with analysis of chromatin accessibility in EBF1-deficient MSCs revealed an altered niche composition and MSCs identity. In HSCs that were exposed to the EBF1-deficient niche, we detected an altered chromatin accessibility and impaired occupancy by AP-1, ETS and IRF proteins. Notably, the effects of the EBF1-deficient niche on HSPCs are retained after transfer to a wild-type niche. Thus, genetic alterations in the bone marrow niche can result in long-term changes of the chromatin landscape in HSCs.

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:MTD project_description Inflammation and decreased stem cell function characterize organism aging, yet the relationship between these factors remains incompletely understood. This study shows that aged hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells exhibit increased ground-stage NF-κB activity, which enhances their responsiveness to undergo differentiation and loss of self-renewal in response to inflammation. The study identifies Rad21/cohesin as a critical mediator of NF-κB signals, by increasing chromatin accessibility of inter-/intra-genic and enhancer regions. Rad21/NF-κB are required for normal differentiation, but limit self-renewal of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) during aging and inflammation in an NF-κB dependent manner. HSCs from aged mice fail to downregulate Rad21/cohesin and inflammation/differentiation inducing signals in the resolution phase after acute inflammation. and The inhibition of cohesin/NF-κB is sufficient to revert the hypersensitivity of aged HSPCs to inflammation-induced differentiation. During aging, myeloid-biased HSCs with disrupted and naturally occurring reduced expression of Rad21/cohesin are increasingly selected over lymphoid-biased HSCs. Together, Rad21/cohesin mediated NF-κB signaling limits HSPC function during aging and selects for cohesin deficient HSCs with myeloid skewed differentiation.

Project description:The bone marrow niche plays a critical role in controlling the fate of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) by integrating intrinsic and extrinsic signals. However, the molecular events in the HSC niche remain to be investigated. Here, we report that intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) maintains HSC quiescence and repopulation capacity in the niche. ICAM-1-deficient mice (ICAM-1-/-) displayed significant expansion of phenotypic long-term HSCs with impaired quiescence, as well as favors myeloid cell expansion. ICAM-1-deficient HSCs presented normal reconstitution capacity during serial transplantation; however, reciprocal transplantation experiments showed that ICAM-1 deficiency in the niche impaired HSCs quiescence and repopulation capacity. In addition, ICAM-1 deletion caused failure to retain HSCs in the bone marrow and changed the expression profile of stroma cell-derived factors, possibly representing the mechanism for defective HSCs in ICAM-1-/- mice. Collectively, these observations identify ICAM-1 as a regulator in the bone marrow niche.

Project description:Hematopoiesis occurs within a unique bone marrow (BM) microenvironment which consists of various niche cells, cytokines, growth factors and extracellular matrix components. These multiple components directly or indirectly regulate the maintenance and differentiation of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). Here we report that Bap1 in BM mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) is critical for the maintenance of HSCs and B lymphopoiesis. Mice lacking Bap1 in MSCs show aberrant differentiation of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells, impaired B lymphoid differentiation, and expansion of myeloid lineages. Mechanistically, Bap1 loss in distinct endosteal MSCs, expressing Prx1 but not Lepr, leads to aberrant expression of genes affiliated with BM niche functions. Bap1 deficiency leads to a reduced expression of pro-hematopoietic factors such as Scf, caused by increased H2AK119-ub1 and H3K27-me3 levels on the promoter region of these genes. On the other hand, the expression of myelopoiesis stimulating factors including Csf3 was increased by enriched H3K4-me3 and H3K27-ac levels on their promoter, causing myeloid skewing. Notably, loss of Bap1 substantially blocks B lymphopoiesis and skews the differentiation of hematopoietic precursors toward myeloid lineages in vitro, which is reversed by G-CSF neutralization. Thus, our study uncovers a key role for Bap1 expressed in endosteal MSCs in controlling normal hematopoiesis in mice by modulating expression of various niche factors governing lymphopoiesis and myelopoiesis via histone modifications.

Project description:It is well known that the properties of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) such as their ability to self-renew, and multipotency are maintained through interactions with mesenchymal cells. Meanwhile, the identification of cells that are the key component of niche remains a subject of dispute. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are one of the niche component cells, MSCs are one of the niche component cells which provide stemness signal to HSCs, while it is also hypothesized that there is also a counterpart signal from hematopoiesistic cells to mesenchymeal cells, as HSCs also constitute core stem cells niche for MSCs. Although mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have also been studied intensively, the signals involved in the maintenance of their properties have not attracted much attentions. We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression underlying HSC-MSC interaction and identified distinct classes of regulated genes during this process.

Project description:Bone marrow mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) that express high levels of stem cell factor (SCF) and CXC chemokine ligand 12 (CXCL12) are one crucial component of the hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) niche. While the secreted factors produced by MSCs to support HSCs have been well described, little is known regarding the transcriptional regulators controlling the cell fate of MSCs and thus indirectly maintaining HSCs. Bmi1 is a polycomb group protein that regulates HSCs both cell intrinsically and extrinsically, but it is unknown in which cell type and how Bmi1 functions to maintain HSCs extrinsically. Here we show that Bmi1 maintains HSCs by preventing adipogenic differentiation of MSCs. Bmi1 is highly expressed in MSCs but becomes downregulated upon adipogenic differentiation and during aging. Deleting Bmi1 from MSCs increased marrow adipocytes, induced HSC quiescence and depletion, and impaired hematopoiesis. We found that Bmi1 repressed multiple developmental programs in MSCs by safeguarding the repressive epigenetic marks histone H2A ubiquitylation and H3 lysine 27 trimethylation. We identified a novel adipogenic program governed by Pax3, which Bmi1 repressed in MSCs. Our results establish Bmi1 as a critical regulator of MSC cell fate that suppresses marrow adipogenesis to create a supportive niche for HSCs.
