Maternal Immune Activation perturbs fetal hematopoietic development and causes persistent changes to postnatal immunity [RNA-Seq]

ABSTRACT: Adult hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) respond directly to inflammation and infection, resulting in both acute and persistent changes in quiescence, mobilization, and differentiation. Here we show that fetal HSCs respond to maternal inflammation in utero, and the fetal response drives long-term changes to postnatal hematopoiesis and immunity. Heterogeneous fetal hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) show divergent responses to maternal immune activation (MIA), including changes in quiescence, expansion, and immune cell output. Single cell transcriptomic analysis of fetal HSPCs reveals specific upregulation of inflammation-responsive genes in discrete populations, in response to upregulated IFNα and IL-1α in the fetal liver cytokine milieu. Postnatally, MIA caused the inappropriate expansion and persistence of transient progenitors, concomitant with increased cellularity and hyper-responsiveness of fetal-derived immune cells. Our investigation demonstrates how inflammation in utero can direct the trajectory of hematopoiesis and immunity by reshaping fetal HSC establishment.

Maternal IL-10 restricts fetal emergency myelopoiesis [scATAC-seq]

Project description:We investigated how late fetal liver (FL) mouse hematopoieitic stem and progenitor cells (HSPC) respond to inflammation, with the hypothesis that deficits in engagement of emergency myelopoiesis (EM) pathways could limit neutrophil output and contribute to perinatal neutropenia, ultimately explaining the susceptibility of neonates to inflammation and infection. We show that fetal HSPCs are biased toward erythroid and lymphoid cell production at steady state and fail to mount classical EM responses in vivo. Despite being capable of responding to EM-inducing stimuli in vitro, we find that maternal factors like interleukin-10 (IL-10) restrict fetal HSPCs from activating EM pathways in utero. Accordingly, we find that loss of maternal IL-10 restores EM activation in fetal HSPCs but at a cost of premature parturition. These results reveal the evolutionary trade-off inherent in maternal anti-inflammatory responses that maintain pregnancy but render the fetus susceptible to infection.

Quantitative analysis of redox proteome reveals protein thiol switches regulating fundamental processes in developmental hematopoiesis

Project description:Fetal and adult hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) are characterized by distinct redox homeostasis that may influence their differential cellular behaviour in normal and malignant haematopoiesis. In this work, we have applied a quantitative mass spectrometry-based redox proteomic approach to comprehensively describe reversible cysteine modifications in primary mouse fetal and adult HSPCs. We defined the redox state of 4455 cysteines in fetal and adult HSPCs and demonstrated a higher susceptibility to oxidation of protein thiols in fetal HSPCs. Our data identified ontogenically active redox switches in proteins with a pronounced role in metabolism and protein homeostasis. Additional redox proteomic analysis identified redox switches acting in mitochondrial respiration as well as protein homeostasis to be triggered during onset of MLL-ENL leukemogenesis in fetal HSPCs. Our data has demonstrated that redox signalling contributes to the regulation of fundamental processes of developmental hematopoiesis and has pinpointed potential targetable redox-sensitive proteins in in utero-initiated MLL-rearranged leukaemia. An H9 human embryonic stem cells cell line was applied to validate data from the primary cells.

Mitochondrial respiratory chain is essential for hematopoietic stem cell function

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.

The placenta has an active role in maintaining fetal homeostasis following maternal immune activation

Project description:Activation of the maternal immune system during pregnancy affects fetal development, which can increase in postnatal susceptibility to a range of diseases, including cardiovascular, metabolic and psychiatric disorders. During maternal immune activation (MIA), the maternal body must balance its ressources between mounting an immune response and investing resources into continued metabolism and growth, essentials for survival of the fetus and a successful pregnancy. How the placenta responds to MIA over time and how it can protect the fetus is not well understood, and neither are the fetal consequences of MIA. Here, we characterised the response to acute maternal lung inflammation across time in maternal and fetal organs, using a combination of omics, imaging and integrative computational analyses. We found that the placenta, unlike other maternal organs, did not react by a typical innate immune response, but instead induced genes associated with increased tissue integrity, likely to prevent fetal exposure to potential infections, and simultaneously reduced expression of growth-associated genes. Subsequently, a return to homeostasis was observed, with heightened expression of biosynthesis and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress genes. These responses likely protect the fetus from inflammation, as we observed no immune response in the fetal liver transcriptome. Instead, we observed metabolic adaptations in the fetus, including a release of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) carrying metabolites, including triglyceride and phosphatidylcholine. Notably, DHA is crucial for fetal brain development. This metabolic response is likely a combination of the placental MIA response and temporary maternal fasting, caused by MIA-induced fever and lack of nutrient intake. Our study shows, for the first time, the integrated temporal and systemic response to LPS in lungs across maternal and fetal organs

Maternal Immune Activation Disrupts Proteostasis in the Fetal Brain

Project description:Maternal infection and inflammation during pregnancy is associated with neurodevelopmental disorders in offspring, but little is understood about the molecular mechanisms underlying this epidemiologic phenomenon. We leveraged single-cell RNA sequencing to profile transcriptional changes in the rodent fetal brain in response to maternal immune activation (MIA) and identified perturbations in cellular pathways associated with mRNA translation, ribosome biogenesis, and stress signaling. We found that MIA specifically activated the integrated stress response (ISR) in male, but not female, MIA offspring, thereby reducing global mRNA translation and altering nascent proteome synthesis. Moreover, genetic blockade of ISR activation rescued the social behavior phenotype in MIA male offspring. Our data suggest that therapeutic targeting of the ISR may be beneficial in reducing maternal inflammation-associated neurodevelopmental disorders.

Maternal diet alters long-term innate immune cell memory in fetal and juvenile hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells in nonhuman primate offspring

Project description:Maternal overnutrition increases inflammatory and metabolic disease risk in postnatal offspring. This constitutes a major public health concern due to the increasing prevalence of these diseases yet the mechanisms remain unclear. Here, using nonhuman primate models, we show that maternal Western-style diet (mWSD) exposure is associated with persistent pro-inflammatory phenotypes at the transcriptional, metabolic, and functional levels in bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) from 3-year-old juvenile offspring and in hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) from fetal and juvenile bone marrow and fetal liver. mWSD exposure is also associated with increased oleic acid in fetal and juvenile bone marrow and fetal liver. ATAC-seq profiling of HSPCs and BMDMs from mWSD-exposed juveniles supports a model in which HSPCs transmit pro-inflammatory memory to myeloid cells beginning in utero. These findings demonstrate that maternal diet alters long-term immune cell developmental programming in HSPCs with proposed consequences for chronic diseases featuring altered immune/inflammatory activation across the lifespan.

Microarray expression analysis of wild type and Erg knockdown bone marrow hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells

Project description:Erg is an ETS family transcription factor frequently overexpressed in human leukemias and has been implicated as a key regulator of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). However how Erg controls normal hematopoiesis, particularly at the stem cell level, remains poorly understood. Using homologous recombination, we generated an Erg knockdown allele (Ergkd) in which Erg expression can be restored upon Cre-mediated excision of a Stopper cassette. In Ergkd/+ mice, ~40% reduction in Erg dosage perturbed both fetal liver and bone marrow hematopoiesis by reducing the numbers of Lin-Sca-1+c-Kit+ (LSK) hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) and megakaryocytic progenitors. By genetic mosaic analysis, we found Erg-restored HSPCs outcompeted Ergkd/+ HSPCs for contributing to adult hematopoiesis in vivo. Intriguingly, HSC differentiation also appeared attenuated, leading to accumulation of long-term HSCs in the mutant LSK population. Accordingly, microarray analysis of Erg-restored and Ergkd/+ HSPCs from the same animal revealed enrichment of stem cell-related pathways in Ergkd/+ HSPCs. Overall, reduced Erg dosage perturbs hematopoiesis by reducing HSC numbers and impairing HSC differentiation, possibly via two Erg targets, Jun and Myc.
