Tracing the first hematopoietic stem cell generation in human embryo by single-cell RNA sequencing

ABSTRACT: Tracing the emergence of the first hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) in human embryos, particularly the scarce and transient precursors thereof, is so far challenging, largely due to technical limitations and material rarity. Here, using single-cell RNA sequencing, we constructed the first genome-scale gene expression landscape covering the entire course of endothelial-to-HSC transition during human embryogenesis. The transcriptomically defined HSC-primed hemogenic endothelial cells (ECs) were captured at Carnegie stage 12-14 in an unbiased way, showing an unambiguous arterial EC feature with the up-regulation of RUNX1, MYB and ANGPT1. Importantly, subcategorizing CD34+CD45- ECs into CD44+ population strikingly enriched hemogenic ECs by over 10-fold. We further mapped the developmental path from arterial ECs via HSC-primed hemogenic ECs to hematopoietic stem progenitor cells, and revealed a distinct expression pattern of genes that were transiently over-represented upon the hemogenic fate choice of arterial ECs, including EMCN, PROCR and RUNX1T1. We also uncovered another temporally and molecularly distinct intra-embryonic hemogenic EC population, which was detected mainly at earlier CS 10 and lacked the arterial feature. Finally, we revealed the cellular components of the putative aortic niche and potential cellular interactions acting on the HSC-primed hemogenic ECs. The cellular and molecular programs and interactions that underlie the generation of the first HSCs from hemogenic ECs in human embryos, together with distinguishing HSC-primed hemogenic ECs from others, will shed light on the strategies for the production of clinically useful HSCs from pluripotent stem cells.

Embryonic Endothelial Evolution towards First Hematopoietic Stem Cells Revealed by Single-Cell Transcriptomic and Functional Analyses

Project description:Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) in adults are believed to be born from hemogenic endothelial cells (HECs) in mid-gestational mouse embryos. Due to rare and transient nature, the HSC-competent ECs have never been stringently identified and accurately captured, let alone their genuine vasculature precursors. Here, we firstly used high-precision single-cell transcriptomics to unbiasedly examine relevant EC populations at continuous developmental stages and transcriptomically identified putative HSC-primed HECs. Combining computational prediction and in vivo functional validation, we precisely captured HSC-competent HECs by newly constructed Neurl3-EGFP reporter mouse model, and realized enrichment further by surface marker combination. Surprisingly, endothelial-hematopoietic bi-potential was rarely but reliably witnessed in culture of single HECs. Noteworthy, primitive vascular ECs experienced two-step fate choices to become HSC-primed HECs, resolving several previously observed contradictions. Taken together, comprehensive understanding of endothelial evolutions and molecular programs underlying HSC-primed HEC specification in vivo will facilitate future investigations directing HSC production in vitro.

Adult-repopulating lymphoid potential is not confined to the arterial endothelial cells in yolk sac

Project description:During embryogenesis, hematopoietic stem progenitor cells (HSPCs) are believed to be derived from hemogenic endothelial cells (HECs). Moreover, arterial feature is proposed to be a prerequisite for the HECs to generate HSPCs with lymphoid potential. Whereas the molecular basis of the hematopoietic stem cell-competent HECs has been delicately elucidated within the embryo proper, the functional and molecular heterogeneity of HECs in the extra-embryonic yolk sac (YS) remains largely unresolved. In this study, we firstly identified six molecularly different endothelial populations in the mid-gestational YS through integrated analysis of several single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) datasets, and validated the arterial vasculature distribution of Gja5+ ECs by using a Gja5-EGFP reporter mouse model. We further explored the hemogenic potential of different EC populations based on their Gja5- EGFP and CD44 expression. The lineage differentiation potentials of ECs were spatiotemporally different and the B lymphoid potential was detected in the YS ECs as early as embryonic day (E) 8.5 regardless of their arterial feature. Unexpectedly, capacity of generating hematopoietic progenitors with in vivo lymphoid potential was found in non-arterial in addition to arterial YS ECs at E10.0-E10.5. Importantly, the distinct identities of E10.0-E10.5 ECs with a hemogenic potential between those from YS and from intra-embryonic caudal region were revealed by further scRNA-seq analysis. Taken together, these findings extend our knowledge about the hemogenic potential of ECs from anatomically and molecularly different vascular beds, providing a theoretical basis for better understanding the sources of HSPCs during mammalian development.

Whole-transcriptome analysis of endothelial-to-hematopoietic stem cell transition

Project description:Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) are generated via a natural transdifferentiation process known as endothelial-to-hematopoietic cell transition (EHT). Due to small numbers of embryonal arterial cells undergoing EHT and the paucity of markers to enrich for hemogenic endothelial cells, the genetic program driving HSC emergence is largely unknown. Here, we use a highly sensitive RNAseq method to examine the whole transcriptome of small numbers of enriched aortic HSCs (CD31+cKit+Ly6aGFP+), hemogenic endothelial cells (CD31+cKit-Ly6aGFP+) and endothelial cells (CD31+cKit-Ly6aGFP-). Comparison of mRNA profiles of endothelial cells, hemogenic endothelial cells, and hematopoietic stem cells generated by deep-sequencing of sorted populations from pool of embryos, in triplicate.

Single-cell RNA-seq (10x Chromium) of FACS-sorted drl:H2B-Dendra2, etv2:Kaede, fli1:DsRed, and tp1:eGFP transgenic zebrafish embryos

Project description:Development of the dorsal aorta is a key step in the establishment of the adult blood-forming system, since hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) arise from ventral aortic endothelium in all vertebrate animals studied. Work in zebrafish has demonstrated that arterial and venous endothelial precursors arise from distinct subsets of lateral plate mesoderm. Here, we profile the transcriptome of the earliest detectable endothelial cells (ECs) during zebrafish embryogenesis to demonstrate that tissue-specific EC programs initiate much earlier than previously appreciated, by the end of gastrulation. Classic studies in the chick embryo showed that paraxial mesoderm generates a subset of somite-derived endothelial cells (SDECs) that incorporate into the dorsal aorta to replace HSPCs as they exit the aorta and enter circulation. We describe a conserved program in the zebrafish, where a rare population of endothelial precursors delaminates from the dermomyotome to incorporate exclusively into the developing dorsal aorta. Whereas SDECs lack hematopoietic potential, they act as a local niche to support the emergence of HSPCs from neighboring hemogenic endothelium. Thus, at least three subsets of ECs contribute to the developing dorsal aorta: vascular ECs, hemogenic ECs, and SDECs. Taken together, our findings indicate that the distinct spatial origins of endothelial precursors dictate different cellular potentials within the developing dorsal aorta.

Early and extensive venous arterialization during mammalian embryogenesis

Project description:The cellular evolutions and molecular programs underlying the arteriovenous fate settling of embryonic vascular endothelial cells (ECs) are critical for understanding arteriogenesis and inspiring new approaches for regenerative biology. Using different strategies of single-cell RNA sequencing, we constructed the transcriptional landscape of early arteriovenous EC development in both mouse and human embryos, demonstrating the evolutionary conservation of principal vascular EC types and providing a series of conserved arteriovenous genes. We showed an unexpected diversity of arteriovenous characteristics in morphologically alike vascular plexus and further uncovered two transcriptomically distinct arterial EC types, whereas most of heterologous ligand-receptor pairs were shared by different arterial vasculatures. By computational predicting and further genetic lineage tracing, we revealed the widespread venous arterialization in the mid-gestational mouse embryo proper. Interestingly, we demonstrated at transcriptomic level that Notch1 was dispensable for venous arterialization but required subsequently for the arterial feature strengthening in the arterial plexus ECs. Altogether, our findings unprecedentedly detail the comprehensive single-cell mapping of early embryonic vascular ECs in vivo, decipher an asymmetric arteriovenous characteristics different than that in adults, and reveal an extensive venous-to-arterial fate conversion in the vascular plexus.

Cis inhibition of NOTCH1 through JAGGED1 sustains embryonic Hematopoietic stem cell fate [scRNA-seq]

Project description:Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) develop from the hemogenic endothelium (HE) in the aorta- gonads-and mesonephros (AGM) region and reside within Intra-aortic hematopoietic clusters (IAHC) along with hematopoietic progenitors (HPC). The signalling mechanisms that distinguish HSCs from HPCs are unknown. Notch signaling is essential for arterial specification, IAHC formation and HSC activity, but current studies on how Notch segregates these different fates are inconsistent. We now demonstrate that Notch activity is highest in a subset of, GFI1+, HSC-primed HE cells, and is gradually lost with HSC maturation. We uncover that the HSC phenotype is maintained due to increasing levels of NOTCH1 and JAG1 interactions on the surface of the same cell (cis) that renders the NOTCH1 receptor from being activated. Forced activation of the NOTCH1 receptor in IAHC activates a hematopoietic differentiation program. Our results indicate that NOTCH1-JAG1 cis-inhibition preserves the HSC phenotype in the hematopoietic clusters of the embryonic aorta.

RNAseq analysis of bone marrow endothelial cells

Project description:Although endothelial cells (ECs) have been shown to contribute to HSC maintenance in bone marrow (BM), differential contributions of EC subtypes remain unknown, owing to the lack of methods to separate with high purity arterial (AEC) from sinusoidal (SEC) endothelial cells. We show that combination of podoplanin (PDPN) and Sca-1 expression distinguishes AEC from SEC where Sca1brightPDPN—CD45—Ter119— cells exhibit an arterial gene signature and PDPN+Sca1dimCD45—Ter119— marks sinusoids. PDPN can be substituted for antibodies against the adhesion molecules ICAM1 or E-selectin that also mark SEC. We performed functional analysis of these different types of endothelial cells and found that SCF secreated from AECs regulate HSCs.

Competition between hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells controls the hematopoietic stem cell homeostasis [scRNA-seq]

Project description:Cellular competition for limiting hematopoietic factors is a physiologically regulated but poorly understood process. Here, we studied this phenomenon by hampering hematopoietic progenitor access to Leptin receptor+ mesenchymal stem/progenitor cells (MSPCs) and endothelial cells (ECs). We showed that HSC numbers increased by 2-fold when multipotent and lineage-restricted progenitors fail to respond to CXCL12 produced by MSPCs and ECs. HSCs were qualitatively normal, and HSC expansion only occurred when early hematopoietic progenitors but not differentiated hematopoietic cells lacked CXCR4. Furthermore, the MSPC and EC transcriptomic heterogeneity was remarkably stable, suggesting that it is impervious to dramatic changes in hematopoietic progenitor interactions. Instead, HSC expansion was caused by increased availability of membrane-bound stem cell factor (mSCF) on MSPCs and ECs due to reduced consumption by cKit-expressing hematopoietic progenitors. These studies revealed an intricate homeostatic balance between HSCs and proximal hematopoietic progenitors regulated by cell competition for limiting amounts of mSCF.
