RNA methylation maintains hematopoietic stem cell identity and symmetric commitment

ABSTRACT: Stem cells balance cellular fates through asymmetric and symmetric divisions in order to self-renew or to generate downstream progenitors. Symmetric commitment divisions in stem cells are required for rapid regeneration during tissue damage and stress. The control of symmetric commitment remains poorly defined. N6-methyladenosine (m6A), the most abundant posttranscriptional mRNA modification controls cellular states and its abundance is dysregulated in cancer. Here we show that mRNA methylation controls symmetric commitment and cell identity of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). Using single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) in combination with transcriptomic profiling of HSPCs (hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells) from control and m6A methyltransferase Mettl3 conditional knockout mice, we found that m6A-deficient HSC fail to symmetrically differentiate. Dividing HSCs are expanded and are blocked in an intermediate state that molecularly and functionally resembles multipotent progenitors. Mechanistically, RNA methylation controls Myc mRNA abundance in differentiating HSCs. Importantly, we identified MYC as a new marker for HSC asymmetric and symmetric commitment. Furthermore, forced expression of MYC rescued m6A’s requirement for engraftment indicating its importance in the early stage of HSC cellular fate. Overall our results indicate that RNA methylation is critical for normal blood homeostasis and may provide a general mechanism for how stem cells regulate differentiation fate choice.

DARTseq identifies m6A targets in mouse primary cells

Project description:The goal of this study is to identify m6A targets in mouse HSC and MPP1-4 cells Stem cells regulate their self-renewal and differentiation fate outcomes through both symmetric and asymmetric divisions. When exposed to stress such as inflammation, stem cells can rapidly undergo symmetric commitment divisions to generate differentiated progenitors for tissue regeneration and immune maintenance. m6A RNA methylation controls symmetric commitment and inflammation of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) through unknown mechanisms. Here, we demonstrate that the nuclear speckle protein SON is an essential m6A target required for murine HSC self-renewal, symmetric commitment, and inflammation control. Global profiling of m6A identified that m6A mRNA methylation of Son increases during HSC commitment. Upon m6A depletion, Son mRNA increases, but its protein is depleted. Reintroduction of SON rescues defects in HSC symmetric commitment divisions and engraftment. Conversely, Son deletion results in a loss of HSC fitness, while overexpression of SON improves mouse and human HSC engraftment potential by increasing quiescence. Additionally, SON nuclear speckles asymmetrically and symmetrically segregate during HSC division, correlating with hematopoietic differentiation. Mechanistically, we found that SON rescues MYC and suppresses the METTL3-HSC inflammatory gene expression program by indirectly reducing double-stranded RNAs and directly suppressing nascent transcription of proinflammatory chemokine CCL5. Depletion of CCL5 partially rescues the functional defect of m6A-deficient HSCs. Thus, our findings define a m6A-SON-CCL5 axis that controls inflammation and HSC fate.

Musashi-2 HITS-CLIP sequencing in K562 cells

Project description:Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) are maintained through the regulation of symmetric and asymmetric cell division. We report that conditional ablation of the RNA-binding protein Msi2 results in a failure of HSC maintenance and engraftment caused by a loss of quiescence and increased commitment divisions. Contrary to previous studies, we found that these phenotypes were independent of Numb. Global transcriptome profiling and RNA target analysis uncovered Msi2 interactions at multiple nodes within pathways that govern RNA translation, stem cell function, and TGF-β-signaling. Msi2-null HSCs are insensitive to TGF-β–mediated expansion and have decreased signaling output, resulting in a loss of myeloid-restricted HSCs and myeloid reconstitution. Thus, Msi2 is an important regulator of the HSC translatome and balances HSC homeostasis and lineage bias. One empty vector control– and two Flag-MSI2–overexpressing K562 cell samples were analyzed using HITS-CLIP protocol

Aging alters the epigenetic asymmetry of HSC division [scATAC-Seq]

Project description:Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) balance self-renewal and differentiation to maintain homeostasis. With aging, the frequency of polar HSCs decreases. Cell polarity in HSCs is controlled by the activity of the small RhoGTPase Cdc42. Here we demonstrate, using a comprehensive set of paired daughter cell analyses that include single cell 3D-confocal imaging, single cell transplants, single cell RNA-seq as well as single cell ATAC-seq, that the outcome of HSC divisions is strongly linked to the polarity status before mitosis, which is in turn determined by the level of the activity Cdc42 in stem cells. Aged apolar HSCs undergo preferentially self-renewing symmetric divisions, resulting in daughter stem cells with reduced regenerative capacity and lymphoid potential, while young polar HSCs undergo preferentially asymmetric divisions. Mathematical modeling in combination with experimental data implies a mechanistic role of the asymmetric sorting of Cdc42 in determining the potential of daughter cells via epigenetic mechanisms. Therefore, molecules that control HSC polarity might serve as modulators of the mode of stem cell division regulating the potential of daughter cells.

Retinoid X receptor promotes hematopoietic stem cell fitness and quiescence by repressing MYC pathway activation [RXR_ATACSeq]

Project description:Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) maintain homeostasis and fitness by balancing self-renewal and differentiation. Alterations to the symmetry of HSC divisions reduce quiescence and induce myeloid/megakaryocyte-biased hematopoiesis. Here, we show that HSC self-renewal, fitness, and function are preserved by the master transcription factor retinoid X receptor (RXR). We demonstrate that dual lack of hematopoietic RXRα and RXRβ induces HSC asymmetric cell division resulting in HSC exhaustion and age-associated myeloproliferative disease. Characterization of transcriptomic and epigenetic changes in RXR-deficient HSCs demonstrated chromatin opening, acquisition of a premature aging-like HSC signature, MYC pathway upregulation, and RNA intron retention. Myc haploinsufficiency completely prevents the loss of RXR-deficient HSC activity. Our study unveils the critical relevance of RXR for HSC homeostasis and fitness.

Differentially expressed genes in hematopoietic stem cells after loss of Mettl3

Project description:Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) maintain balanced self-renewal and differentiation according to physiological demands, but how different facets of these functions are precisely regulated is not fully understood. N6-methyladenosine (m6A) mRNA methylation has emerged as an important mode of epitranscriptional gene expression regulation affecting many biological processes. We show that deleting the m6A methyltransferase, Mettl3, from the adult hematopoietic system led to an accumulation of HSCs in the bone marrow and marked reduction of HSC reconstitution potential due to a blockage of HSC differentiation. Interestingly, deleting Mettl3 from myeloid cells using Lysm-cre did not have any discernable impact on myeloid cell number or function. m6A sequencing on purified HSCs revealed 2,073 genes with significant m6A modification. In particular, Myc, a key regulator of HSC differentiation, was identified as a direct target of m6A in HSCs. Mettl3-deficient HSCs failed to up-regulate Myc expression upon stimulation to differentiate and enforced expression of Myc rescued differentiation defects of Mettl3-deficient HSCs. Our results thus revealed a key role of m6A in governing HSC differentiation by regulating Myc expression. This data includes RNA-Seq analysis to showing only minor gene expression changes in adult bone marrow murine hematopoietic stem cells 10 days after Mettl3 deletion by pIpC administration compared to pIpC treated controls.
