Project description:The fetal to adult switch in mouse hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) behavior is characterized by entry into quiescence and alterations in lineage output. Here we identify the ability of HSCs to undergo emergency megakaryopoiesis following acute inflammatory insult as an outcome of this developmental switch. Single cell accessibility mapping of fetal and adult HSCs resolves a heterogeneous chromatin landscape consistent with a two-step megakaryocyte lineage priming process. Importantly, we demonstrate that the accumulation of megakaryocyte primed HSCs is under the control of the developmentally restricted Lin28b RNA binding protein. Persistent Lin28b protein expression in postnatal HSCs delays the formation of a primed HSC pool and limits emergency megakaryopoiesis. Taken together, we identify Lin28b as a negative regulator of a megakaryocyte primed HSC state that is enforced at the chromatin level during unperturbed organismal development. These findings highlight the ontogenically timed onset of inflammatory responsiveness, with important implications for the delicate balance between host protection and tissue damage during neonatal life.

Project description:Infections are associated with extensive consumption of blood platelets representing a high risk for health. How the hematopoietic system coordinates the rapid and efficient regeneration of this particular lineage during such stress scenarios remains unclear. Here we report that the phenotypic hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) compartment contains highly potent megakaryocyte-committed progenitors (hipMkPs), a cell population that shares many features with multipotent HSCs and serves as a lineage-restricted emergency pool for inflammatory insults. Our data show that during homeostasis, hipMkPs are maintained in a primed but quiescent state, thus contributing little to steady-state megakaryopoiesis. Moreover, homeostatic hipMkPs show expression of megakaryocyte lineage priming transcripts for which protein synthesis is suppressed. We demonstrate that acute inflammatory signaling instructs activation of hipMkPs, as well as Mk protein production from pre-existing transcripts and drives a rapid maturation of hipMkPs and other Mk progenitors. This results in an efficient regeneration of platelets that are lost during inflammatory insult. Thus, our study reveals an elegant emergency machinery that counteracts life-threating depletions in the platelet pool during acute inflammation.

Project description:Adult and fetal hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) display a glycolytic phenotype, which is required for maintenance of stemness; however, whether mitochondrial respiration is required to maintain HSC function is not known. Here we report that loss of the mitochondrial complex III subunit Rieske iron sulfur protein (RISP) in fetal mouse HSCs allows them to proliferate but impairs their differentiation, resulting in anemia and prenatal death. RISP null fetal HSCs displayed impaired respiration resulting in a decreased NAD+/NADH ratio. RISP null fetal HSCs and progenitors exhibited an increase in both DNA and histone methylation concomitant with increases in 2-hydroxyglutarate (2-HG), a metabolite known to inhibit DNA and histone demethylases. RISP inactivation in adult HSCs also impaired respiration resulting in loss of quiescence resulting in severe pancytopenia and lethality. Thus, respiration is dispensable for adult or fetal HSC proliferation, but essential for fetal HSC differentiation and maintenance of adult HSC quiescence.

Project description:Mouse haematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) undergo a post-natal transition in several properties, including a marked reduction in their self-renewal activity. We now show that the developmentally timed change in this key function of HSCs is associated with their decreased expression of Lin28b and an accompanying increase in their let-7 microRNA levels. Lentivirus(LV)-mediated overexpression of Lin28 in adult HSCs elevates their self-renewal activity in transplanted irradiated hosts, as does overexpression of Hmga2, a well-established let-7 target that is upregulated in fetal HSCs. Conversely, HSCs from fetal Hmga2-/- mice do not display the heightened self-renewal activity that is characteristic of wild-type fetal HSCs. Interestingly, overexpression of Hmga2 in adult HSCs does not mimic the ability of elevated Lin28 to activate a fetal lymphoid differentiation program. Thus Lin28b may act as a master regulator of developmentally timed changes in HSC programs with Hmga2 serving as its specific downstream modulator of HSC self-renewal potential. Lin-Sca1+cKit+ cells were isolated from E14.5 fetal livers (of wild-type of Hmga2-/- embryos) or the bone marrow of 8-12 week old mice by fluorescence activated cell sorting. The RNA was extracted and hybridized on Affymetrix mpuse gene 1.0 ST microarrays.

Project description:This dataset is part of a study that investigated how the hematopoietic system coordinates the rapid and efficient regeneration of the megakaryocytic lineage during stress scenarios. We found that the phenotypic hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) compartment contains stem-like megakaryocyte-committed progenitors (SL-MkPs), a cell population that shares many features with multipotent HSCs and serves as a lineage-restricted emergency pool for inflammatory insults. This dataset contains single-cell RNA sequencing data of 30 hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells which, in the context of our study, confirmed that MK-specfic transcripts are of highly variable expression in HSCs. The dataset further showed that variations in MK transcript expression in HSCs is not correlated with global transcriptomic rearrangements. Murine bone marrow cells were sorted by Lin-cKit+CD150+CD48- (referred to as cd150+ in the following) and Lin-cKit+CD150- (referred to as cd150- in the following). Transcriptomes of 11 cd150- and 9 cd150+ HSCs were determined using QUARTZ, a single-cell RNASeq protocol

Project description:Thioredoxin-interacting protein (TXNIP) is ubiquitously expressed in blood cells, including hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs), monocytes, and platelets. Here we report a novel finding that TXNIP plays a crucial role in megakaryopoiesis and platelet biogenesis via interacting with GATA1, a transcription factor for megakaryocyte-erythroid differentiation. Txnip-/- mice displayed immature megakaryocytes in the bone marrow with thrombocytopenia, which had gotten worse as the mice aged. Transcriptome analysis revealed that the transcriptional activity of GATA1 was significantly enhanced in the Txnip-/- megakaryocyte precursors (MkPs) than wild type (WT) cells. During megakaryopoiesis in ex vivo, Txnip-/- MkPs remained small in cell size with less mitochondrial mass, and more glycolysis for ATP production, as opposed to the normal megakaryocyte maturation. The effects of TXNIP in megakaryocytes were recapitulated in human cord blood CD34+ HSC-derived differentiation. Taken together, this study demonstrates the importance of spatiotemporal expression of TXNIP in platelet biogenesis. We propose for the first time that TXNIP might play a critical role in determining a lineage between megakaryocytes and erythroid cells from a common megakaryocyte-erythroid progenitor via regulation of transcriptional activity of GATA1.

Project description:In blood, the transcription factor C/EBPa is essential for myeloid differentiation and has been implicated in regulating self-renewal of fetal liver hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). However, its function in adult HSCs is unknown. Here, using an inducible knockout model, we found that C/EBPa deficient adult HSCs underwent a pronounced expansion with enhanced proliferation, characteristics resembling fetal liver HSCs. Consistently, transcription profiling of C/EBPa deficient HSCs revealed a gene expression program similar to fetal liver HSCs. Moreover we observed that age-specific C/EBPa expression correlated with its inhibitory effect on the HSC cell cycle. Mechanistically, we identified N-Myc as a C/EBPa downstream target. C/EBPa upregulation during HSC transition from an active fetal state to a quiescent adult state was accompanied by down-regulation of N-Myc, and loss of C/EBPa resulted in de-repression of NMyc. Our data establish that C/EBPa acts as a molecular switch between fetal and adult states of HSC in part via transcriptional repression of the proto-oncogene N-Myc. HSCs of Pu.1 knock-in (PU.1ki/ki) mice were used for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. We compared these microarray samples with the corresponding wild type.

Abstract:
Adult blood contains a mixture of mature cell types, each
with specialized functions. Single hematopoietic stem cells
(HSCs) have been functionally shown to generate all mature cell
types for the lifetime of the organism. Differentiation of HSCs
toward alternative lineages must be balanced at the population
level by the fate decisions made by individual cells.
Transcription factors play a key role in regulating these
decisions and operate within organized regulatory programs that
can be modeled as transcriptional regulatory networks. As
dysregulation of single HSC fate decisions is linked to fatal
malignancies such as leukemia, it is important to understand
how these decisions are controlled on a cell-by-cell basis.
Here we developed and applied a network inference method,
exploiting the ability to infer dynamic information from
single-cell snapshot expression data based on expression
profiles of 48 genes in 2,167 blood stem and progenitor cells.
This approach allowed us to infer transcriptional regulatory
network models that recapitulated differentiation of HSCs into
progenitor cell types, focusing on trajectories toward
megakaryocyte–erythrocyte progenitors and lymphoid-primed
multipotent progenitors. By comparing these two models, we
identified and subsequently experimentally validated a
difference in the regulation of nuclear factor, erythroid 2
(Nfe2) and core-binding factor, runt domain, alpha subunit 2,
translocated to, 3 homolog (Cbfa2t3h) by the transcription
factor Gata2. Our approach confirms known aspects of
hematopoiesis, provides hypotheses about regulation of HSC
differentiation, and is widely applicable to other hierarchical
biological systems to uncover regulatory relationships.
