Spatiotemporal and functional heterogeneity of the hematopoietic stem cell-competent hemogenic endothelial cells in mouse embryos

ABSTRACT: Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) are derived from hemogenic endothelial cells (HECs) during embryogenesis. The HSC-primed HECs are peak at embryonic day (E) 10 and have been efficiently captured by the marker combination CD41-CD43-CD45-CD31+CD201+Kit+CD44+ (PK44) in the aorta-gonad-mesonephros (AGM) region of mouse embryos most recently. In the present study, we investigated the spatiotemporal and functional heterogeneity of PK44 cells around the time of emergence of HSCs. First, PK44 cells in E10 AGM region could be further divided into three molecularly different populations showing endothelial- or hematopoietic-biased characteristics. Specifically, with the combination of Kit, the expression of CD93 or CD146 could divide PK44 cells into endothelial- and hematopoietic-feature biased populations, which was further functionally validated at single cell level. Next, PK44 population could also be detected in the yolk sac, showing a developmental dynamics and functional diversification similar to those in the AGM region. Importantly, PK44 cells in the yolk sac demonstrated an unambiguous multi-lineage reconstitution capacity after in vitro incubation. Regardless of the functional similarity, PK44 cells in the yolk sac displayed transcriptional features different to those in the AGM region. Taken together, our work delineated the spatiotemporal characteristics of HECs represented by PK44, and revealed a previously unknown HSC competence of HECs in the yolk sac. These findings provided a fundamental basis for in-depth studying the different origins and molecular programs of HSC generation in the future.

Transcriptome analysis of nascent hematopoietic cells II

Project description:During ontogeny, HSCs or progenitors are generated from endothelial cells through the process known as endothelial-to-hematopoietic transition (EHT). After EHT, hematopoietic cells form cell aggregates, called hematopoietic clusters. To obtain mechanistic insight into HSC specification, we compared the gene expression profiles of hematopoietic clusters between caudal half region and yolk sac.

Mapping Human Hematopoietic Stem Cells From Hemogenic Endothelium To Birth

Project description:Human hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) ontogeny is poorly defined due to the inability to identify HSCs as they emerge and mature in different hematopoietic sites. We created a single-cell transcriptome map of human hematopoietic tissues from 1st trimester to birth and found that HSC signature RUNX1+HOXA9+MLLT3+MECOM+HLF+SPINK2+ distinguishes HSCs from progenitors throughout gestation. In addition to the AGM (aorta-gonad-mesonephros) region, nascent HSCs populated the placenta and yolk sac before colonizing the liver at 6 weeks. Comparison of HSCs from different maturation stages revealed the establishment of HSC transcription factor machinery upon HSC emergence, whereas their surface phenotype evolved throughout development. HSC transition to the liver marked a molecular shift evidenced by suppression of surface antigens, reflecting nascent HSC identity, and acquisition of HSC maturity markers PROM1/CD133 and HLA-DR. HSC origin was tracked to ALDH1A1+KCNK17+ hemogenic endothelial (HE) cells, which arose from IL33+ALDH1A1+ arterial endothelial subset, termed pre-HE. Spatial transcriptomics and immunofluorescence visualized this process in ventrally located intra-aortic hematopoietic clusters. The in vivo map of human HSC ontogeny validated the generation of AGM-like definitive HSPCs from human pluripotent stem cells, and serves as a guide to improve their maturation to functional HSCs.

The Fc receptor CD32 identifies primed human hemogenic endothelial cells [scRNA-seq]

Project description:During embryonic development, blood cells emerge from a subset of specialized endothelial cells, named hemogenic endothelial cells (HECs), via a process known as endothelial-to-hematopoietic transition (EHT). A thorough characterization of HECs and their EHT is essential to guide the efforts to derive this population from human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs), a critical step to generate therapeutic blood products in vitro. However, current known markers used to isolate HECs are insufficient as they also enrich for arterial endothelial cells that are associated with HECs. To identify specific human HEC markers, we performed transcriptomic analysis of 28-32-day human embryos, a developmental stage characterized by active EHT. We observed that the expression of FCGR2B, encoding for the Fc receptor CD32 previously associated with other specialized endothelia, is highly enriched in the ACE+CD34+ endothelial cell population that contains HECs. Functional ex vivo analyses confirmed that multilineage hematopoietic potential is highly enriched in CD32+ endothelial cells isolated from the aorta-gonad-mesonephros region and yolk sac of human embryos. In addition, CD32 emerged as selective marker for hPSC-derived HECs across different hematopoietic programs. Remarkably, our analyses showed that CD32 expression identifies HECs that are irreversibly bound to undergo EHT. As such, CD32 expression enriches for cells with hemogenic potential with a higher specificity for hPSC-derived HECs than other known HEC markers. These findings provide a simple method for isolating HECs from human embryos and hPSC cultures, allowing the efficient generation of hematopoietic cells in vitro.

Negative regulation of endothelial to haematopoietic transition by Nupr1

Project description:we uncovered that nuclear protein 1 (Nupr1), a transcription regulatory gene preferentially expressed in HECs, was a negative regulator of EHT. Nupr1 deficiency resulted in plentiful emergence of HSC-competent cells in the AGM region, including HECs and HSPCs. Further single-cell transcriptome combined serial functional assay revealed that loss of Nupr1 prominently accelerate EHT process, also promote the specification of HECs and strengthen their subsequent hematopoietic differentiation potential towards HSPC. Interestingly, we found that numerous inflammatory signals were specifically upregulated in Nupr1-/- EHT relevant populations, as elevated inflammatory response signals have been proved to promote EHT and HSPCs generation.

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.

Human yolk sac-like haematopoiesis generates RUNX1-, GFI1- and/or GFI1B-dependent blood and SOX17-positive endothelium

Project description:The genetic regulatory network controlling early fate choices during human blood cell development are not well understood. We use human pluripotent stem cell reporter lines to track the development of endothelial and haematopoietic populations in an in vitro model of human yolk-sac development. We identified SOX17-CD34+CD43- endothelial cells at day 2 of blast colony development, as a haemangioblast-like branch point from which SOX17-CD34+CD43+ blood cells and SOX17+CD34+CD43- endothelium subsequently arose. Most human blood cell development was dependent on RUNX1. Deletion of RUNX1 only permitted a single wave of yolk sac-like primitive erythropoiesis, but no yolk sac myelopoiesis or aorta-gonad-mesonephros (AGM)-like haematopoiesis. Blocking GFI1/1B activity with a small molecule inhibitor abrogated all blood cell development, even in cell lines with an intact RUNX1 gene. Together, our data defines the hierarchical requirements for both RUNX1 and GFI1/1B during early human haematopoiesis arising from a yolk sac-like SOX17- haemogenic endothelial intermediate.

Gene regulatory networks underlying intrinsic properties in human hematopoietic stem cell ontogeny

Project description:Human hematopoiesis starts at early yolk sac and undergoes site- and stage-specific changes over development. However, the gene regulatory networks (GRN) that drive the developmental changes in naive hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPCs) remain poorly understood. Here, we analyzed single-cell transcriptome of human naive HSPCs in different developmental stages, including yolk-sac (YS), AGM, fetal liver (FL), umbilical cord blood (UCB) and adult peripheral blood (PB) mobilized HSPCs. These stage-specific HSPCs display differential intrinsic properties, such as metabolism, self-renewal, differentiating potentialities etc. We generated highly co-related GRN modules underlying the differential HSC key properties. Particularly, we identified GRNs and key regulators controlling lymphoid potentiality, self-renewal and aerobic respiration in human HSCs. Introducing selected regulators promotes establishing key HSC functions in HSPCs derived from human pluripotent stem cells. Therefore, GRNs underlying key intrinsic properties of human HSCs provide a valuable guide to generate fully functional HSCs in vitro.
