GFI1 maintains a chromatin state that is essential in human endothelial-to-hematopoietic transition [RNA-seq]

ABSTRACT: During early embryonic hematopoiesis, hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPCs) are considered to develop from hemogenic endothelial cells (HECs) though endothelial to hematopoietic transition (EHT). However, little is known about how EHT is regulated in human. Here, we report that GFI1 plays an essential role in ensuring EHT during hematopoietic differentiation of human embryonic stem cells (hESCs). GFI1 deletion in hESCs showed a complete EHT defect due to a closed chromatin state of hematopoietic genes in HECs. Further analysis revealed that GFI1 directly binds and maintains the open chromatin state of genes important for EHT, such as PI3K signaling. Together, our findings reveal an essential role of GFI1 mediated epigenetic mechanism underlying human EHT during hematopoiesis.

The Fc receptor CD32 identifies primed human hemogenic endothelial cells [RNA-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.

Transcriptome profile of ACE-expressing embryonic endothelial cells

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 more thorough characterization of HECs 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. To identify specific human HEC markers, we performed transcriptomic analysis of 28-32-day human embryos, a developmental stage characterized by active EHT.

Vitamin C dependent KDM6 demethylation specifies a functional chromatin state for endothelial-to-hematopoietic transition [RNA-Seq]

Project description:Hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPCs) are generated from hemogenic endothelial cells (HECs) through endothelial-to-hematopoietic transition (EHT); however, the underlying mechanism remains poorly understood. Here, we report that HPC generation is significantly reduced in hPSC differentiatiation in a defined condition without vitamin C (Vc). Mechanistically, the endothelial cells generated in the absence of Vc fail to undergo EHT due to apparent failure in opening genomic loci essential for hematopoiesis. These loci exhibit abnormal accumulation of H3K27me3, a repressive histone modification due to lower activity of its demethylases. Consistently, deletion of H3K27me3 demethylases, JMJD3 and UTX, impaires HPC generation in the presence of Vc. Furthermore, Vc and jmjd3 are also important for HSC generation during zebrafish development. Together, we reveal an obligatory role of Vc underlying EHT process in hematopoisis and further support the important function of Vc during development.

Vitamin C-dependent lysine demethylase 6 (KDM6)-mediated demethylation promotes a chromatin state that supports the endothelial-to-hematopoietic transition

Project description:Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs)/progenitor cells (HPCs) are generated from hemogenic endothelial cells (HECs) during the endothelial-to-hematopoietic transition (EHT); however, the underlying mechanism remains poorly understood. Here, using an array of approaches, including CRSPR/Cas9 gene knockouts, RNA-Seq, ChIP-Seq, ATAC-Seq etc., we report that vitamin C (Vc) is essential in HPC generation during human pluripotent stem cell (hPSC) differentiation in defined culture conditions. Mechanistically, we found that the endothelial cells generated in the absence of Vc fail to undergo the EHT because of an apparent failure in opening up genomic loci essential for hematopoiesis. Under Vc deficiency, these loci exhibited abnormal accumulation of histone H3 trimethylation at Lys-27 (H3K27me3), a repressive histone modification that arose because of lower activities of demethylases that target H3K27me3. Consistently, deletion of the two H3K27me3 demethylases, Jumonji domain-containing 3 (JMJD3 or KDM6B) and histone demethylase UTX (UTX or KDM6A), impaired HPC generation even in the presence of Vc. Furthermore, we noted that Vc and jmjd3 are also important for HSC generation during zebrafish development. Together, our findings reveal an essential role for Vc in the EHT for hematopoiesis, and identify KDM6-mediated chromatin demethylation as an important regulatory mechanism in hematopoietic cell differentiation.

Overexpression of GATA2 enhances development and maintenance of human embryonic stem cell-derived hematopoietic stem cell-like progenitors

Project description:GATA2 is essential for the endothelial-to-hematopoietic transition (EHT) and generation of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). It is poorly understood how GATA2 controls the development of human pluripotent stem cell (hPSC)-derived HSC-like cells. Here, using human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) in which GATA2 overexpression was induced by doxycycline (Dox), we elucidated the dual functions of GATA2 in definitive hematopoiesis before and after the emergence of CD34+CD45+CD90+CD38- HSC-like cells. Specifically, GATA2 promoted expansion of hemogenic precursors via the EHT and then helped to maintain HSC-like cells in a quiescent state by arresting the cell cycle at G0/G1 phase. RNA-sequencing showed that hPSC-derived-HSC-like cells were very similar to human fetal liver-derived HSCs. Our findings will help to elucidate the mechanism that controls the early stages of human definitive hematopoiesis and may help to generate hPSC-derived HSCs.

Functional and molecular characterization of mouse Gata2-independent hematopoietic progenitors

Project description:The Gata2 transcription factor is a pivotal regulator of hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) development and maintenance. Gata2 functions in the embryo during endothelial cell to hematopoietic cell transition (EHT) to affect hematopoietic cluster, HPC and HSC formation. Although previous studies of cell populations phenotypically enriched in HPCs and HSCs show expression of Gata2, there has been no direct study of Gata2 expressing cells during normal hematopoiesis. In this study we generate a Gata2 Venus reporter mouse model with unperturbed Gata2 expression to examine the hematopoietic function and transcriptome of Gata2 expressing and nonexpressing cells. Gata2Venus- HPCs 1 replicate, Gata2Venus+ HPCs 1 replicate
