Maintenance of hematopoietic stem cells by tyrosine-unphosphorylated STAT5 and JAK inhibition

ABSTRACT: Adult hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) are responsible for the lifelong production of blood and immune cells and must respond to extracellular cues including cytokines. The JAK/STAT pathway is a highly conserved pathway, activated by many cytokines, in which tyrosine-phosphorylated STATs (pSTATs) function as transcription factors. STAT5 is a pivotal downstream mediator of several cytokines known to regulate hematopoiesis but its function in the HSC compartment remains poorly understood. Here we show that STAT5-deficient HSCs exhibited an unusual phenotype - reduced multi-lineage repopulation and self-renewal combined with reduced cell cycle entry and increased differentiation. This reflected not only loss of a canonical pSTAT5 transcriptional program but also loss of distinct functions mediated by tyrosine-unphosphorylated STAT5 (uSTAT5). Consistent with this concept expression of an unphosphorylatable STAT5B mutant constrained HSC differentiation, promoted HSC maintenance and upregulated transcriptional programs associated with quiescence and stemness. Moreover, treatment with a JAK1/2 inhibitor (ruxolitinib) increased the uSTAT5:pSTAT5 ratio, constrained HSC differentiation and proliferation and promoted HSC maintenance, thus phenocopying uSTAT5B overexpression. Our results therefore reveal a previously unrecognized interplay between pSTAT5 and uSTAT5 in the control of HSC function. In addition the demonstration that JAK inhibition promotes HSC maintenance has implications for gene therapy using HSCs and may contribute to the failure of JAK inhibitors to eradicate myeloproliferative neoplasms.

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.

A genetic disorder reveals a hematopoietic stem cell regulatory network co-opted in leukemia [ChIP-Seq]

Project description:The molecular regulation of human hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) maintenance is therapeutically important, but limitations in experimental systems and interspecies variation have constrained our knowledge of this process. Here, we have studied a rare genetic disorder due to MECOM haploinsufficiency, characterized by an early-onset absence of HSCs in vivo. By generating a faithful model of this disorder in primary human HSCs and coupling functional studies with integrative single-cell genomic analyses, we uncover a key transcriptional network involving hundreds of genes that is required for HSC maintenance. Through our analyses, we nominate cooperating transcriptional regulators and identify how MECOM prevents the CTCF-dependent genome reorganization that occurs as HSCs differentiate. Strikingly, we show that this transcriptional network is co-opted in high-risk leukemias, thereby enabling these cancers to acquire stem cell properties. Collectively, we illuminate a regulatory network necessary for HSC self-renewal through the study of a rare experiment of nature.

Molecular characterization of hematopoietic stem cells after in vitro amplification on biomimetic 3D PDMS cell culture scaffoldsMolecular characterization of hematopoietic stem cells after in vitro amplification on biomimetic 3D PDMS cell culture scaffolds

Project description:Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is successfully applied since the late 1950s, however, its efficacy still needs to be improved. A promising strategy is to transplant high numbers of pluripotent hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). Therefore, an advanced ex vivo culture system is needed that supports the proliferation and maintains the pluripotency of HSC to override possible limitations in cell numbers gained from donors. To model the natural HSC niche in vitro and thus, to amplify high numbers of undifferentiated HSCs, we used an optimized HSC cell culture medium in combination with artificial 3D bone marrow-like scaffolds made of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS). After 14 days in vitro (DIV) cell culture, we performed transcriptome and proteome analysis of the whole cell populations. Ingenuity pathway analysis (IPA) indicated that our 3D PDMS cell culture scaffolds activated interleukin, SREBP, mTOR and FOXO signaling pathways as well as the HSC metabolism, which we confirmed by ELISA, Western blot and metabolic flux analysis. These molecular signaling pathways and HSC metabolism are well known to promote the expansion HSCs and are involved in their pluripotency maintenance. After selection and enrichment of immature CD34-positive/CD38-negative HSCs using FACS sorting, we could confirm our findings by another proteome analysis followed by IPA. Thus, we could show that our 3D bone marrow-like PDMS scaffolds activate key molecular signaling pathways to amplify the numbers of undifferentiated HSC efficiently ex vivo.

Gene expression analyses of hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) subsets in wildtype or CD41-KO mice

Project description:The hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) compartment is heterogeneous, yet our understanding of the identities of different HSC subtypes is limited. Here we show that platelet integrin CD41 (M-NM-1IIb), currently thought to only transiently mark fetal HSCs, is expressed on an adult HSC subtype that accumulates with age. CD41+ HSCs were largely quiescent and exhibited myeloerythroid and megakaryocyte gene priming, governed by Gata1, whereas CD41- HSCs were more proliferative and exhibited lymphoid gene priming. When isolated without the use of blocking antibodies, CD41+ HSCs possessed long-term repopulation capacity upon serial transplantations and showed a marked myeloid-bias compared to CD41-HSCs, which yielded a more lymphoid-biased progeny. CD41-knockout mice displayed multilineage hematopoietic defects coupled with decreased quiescence and survival of HSCs, suggesting that CD41 is functionally relevant for HSC maintenance and hematopoietic homeostasis. Transplantation experiments indicated that CD41-KO associated defects are long-term transplantable and HSC-derived, and in part mediated through the loss of platelet mass leading to decreases in HSC exposure to important platelet released cytokines, such as TGFM-NM-21. In summary, our data provide a novel marker to identify a myeloid-biased HSC subtype that becomes prevalent with age, and highlights the dogma of HSC regulation by their progeny. For microarray analysis, 1000 HSCs were FACS sorted from pools of 4-5 mice directly into lysis buffer, RNA extracted and whole transcript amplification was performed as previously described (Gonzalez-Roca E, Garcia-Albeniz X, Rodriguez-Mulero S, Gomis RR, Kornacker K, Auer H.

Genome wide analysis of SOCS2 dependent gene expression profile in bone marrow LSK following 5-Fluorouracil treatment

Project description:Hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) promptly adapt hematopoiesis to stress conditions, such as infection and cancer, by replenishing bone marrow (BM)-derived circulating populations while preserving the stem cell reservoir. SOCS2, a feedback inhibitor of JAK/STAT pathways is expressed in most primitive HSC and is upregulated in response to STAT5-inducing cytokines. We demonstrate that Socs2 deficiency unleashes HSC proliferation in vitro sustaining STAT5 phosphorylation in response to the hematopoietic cytokines IL-3, thrombopoietin (TPO) and GM-CSF. In vivo, SOCS2 deficiency leads to unrestricted myelopoietic response to 5-fluorouracil and, in turn, induces exhaustion of long-term HSC function along serial BM transplantations. These findings unveiled a new regulatory role for SOCS2 in normalizing HSC functions under hematopoietic stress and prompted its investigation for involvement in malignant hematopoiesis. Indeed, in acute myeloid and lymphoblastic leukemias high levels of SOCS2 characterize unfavorable subclasses with MLL and BCR/ABL abnormalities. Analysis of gene expression profiles showed that high SOCS2 positively correlates with a pool of genes that are significatively enriched of members of the stemness signature described in acute myeloid leukemia. Unexpectedly, in acute leukemias, SOCS2 and its related genes are not controlled by STAT5 signaling, they are rather part of regulatory networks fronted by IKZF1/Ikaros and MEF2C, two key hematopoietic stemness-related transcriptional factors that, independently, have been described in leukemias but never linked together in controlling SOCS2 expression and unfavorable leukemia outcome.

Probing secretome of hematopoietic and mesenchymal stem cell interactions in single and co-cultures

Project description:Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) primarily reside in the bone marrow, where they receive external cues from their local microenvironment. The complex milieu of biophysical cues, cellular components, and cell-secreted factors regulates the process by which HSC produce the blood and immune system. We previously showed direct co-culture of primary murine hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells with a population of marrow-derived mesenchymal stromal and progenitor cells (MSPCs) in a methacrylamide-functionalized gelatin (GelMA) hydrogel improves hematopoietic progenitor maintenance. However, the mechanism by which MSPCs influenced HSC fate decisions remained unknown. Herein, we report the use of proteomic analysis to correlate HSC phenotype to a broad candidate pool of 200 soluble factors produced by combined mesenchymal and hematopoietic progeny. Partial Least Squares Regression (PLSR), along with an iterative filter method, identified TGFβ-1, MMP-3, c-RP, and TROY as positively correlated with HSC maintenance. Experimentally, we then observe exogenous stimulation of HSC monocultures in GelMA hydrogels with these combined cytokines increases the ratio of hematopoietic progenitors to committed progeny after a 7-day culture 7.52 ± 3.65 fold compared to non-stimulated monocultures. Findings suggest a cocktail of the downselected cytokines amplify hematopoietic maintenance potential of HSCs beyond that of MSPC-secreted factors alone. This work integrates empirical and computation methods to identify cytokine combinations to improve HSC maintenance within an engineered HSC niche, suggesting a route towards identifying feeder-free culture platforms for HSC expansion.

Gene expression analyses of hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) subsets in wildtype or CD41-KO mice

Project description:The hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) compartment is heterogeneous, yet our understanding of the identities of different HSC subtypes is limited. Here we show that platelet integrin CD41 (αIIb), currently thought to only transiently mark fetal HSCs, is expressed on an adult HSC subtype that accumulates with age. CD41+ HSCs were largely quiescent and exhibited myeloerythroid and megakaryocyte gene priming, governed by Gata1, whereas CD41- HSCs were more proliferative and exhibited lymphoid gene priming.

Gene expression at single cell level in human umbilical cord blood cells enriched for hematopoietic stem cells and cultured in conditions that maintain HSCs ex vivo.

Project description:The capacity for self-renewal of human hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) is lost upon typical culture conditions, which often include high levels of multiple hematopoietic cytokines, serum, and/or support cells. We found that culture of HSCs in CR medium (basal culture medium with inhibitors of GSK-3 (CHIR99021) and mTORC1 (Rapamycin) and no serum or cytokines) maintains self-renewal in human HSCs for at least 7 days without loss of repopulating activity (Huang et al PMID 23142822). Here we performed single cell RNA-seq to determine transcriptomic changes associated with HSC maintenance in CR. We compared a population of freshly isolated human hematopoietic cells enriched for HSCs (CD34+CD38-CD45RA-CD90+) to cells cultured for 2 days in basal medium (vehicle control), CR, and CR and low dose cytokines (CRCY). The data show that, compared to Day 0 uncultured cells, the HSC pool is maintained when CR is included (CR or CRCY medium) but not in the vehicle control. The most highly enriched transcript in the HSC population was the chaperone/UPR sensor GRP78/HSPA5. This population was also highly enriched for immediate early response genes and components of the AP-1 complex (FOS and JUN family transcription factors) which mediate the immediate early response to stress.

RNA-seq analysis of bone marrow peri-vascular stromal cells

Project description:Fate decisions of haematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) to self-renew or differentiate in response to various demands are finely tuned by specialized microenvironments called “niches” in the bone marrow. Recent studies suggest that arterioles and sinusoids accompanied with distinct stromal cells marked by nerve/glial antigen 2 (NG2) and leptin receptor (LepR), compose distinct niches regulating quiescence and proliferation of HSCs, respectively. However, it remains unknown how the distinct niche cells differentially regulate the HSC functions. Here we show that effects of cytokines regulating HSC functions are dependent on the producing cell sources. Deletion of chemokine C-X-C motif ligand 12 (CXCL12) in NG2-cre targeted cells, which exclusively overlap with Nestin-GFP (Nes-GFP)+ stromal cells associated with arterioles and sinusoids, resulted in a robust reductions of HSCs in the bone marrow and massive mobilization. Deletion of CXCL12 from arteriolar NG2+ vascular smooth muscle cells caused a significant decrease of HSCs and altered HSC location in the marrow, while CXCL12 depletion from sinusoidal LepR+ cells did not reduce HSC numbers in the bone marrow. By contrast, deletion of stem cell factor (SCF) in LepR+ cells led to significant reductions in HSC numbers whereas SCF deletion in arteriolar NG2+ cells showed no effect on HSC numbers in the marrow. These results uncover the distinct contributions of cytokines derived from perivascular cells in separate vascular niches for HSC maintenance and mobilization. We sought to obtain comprehensive understanding of differences between peri-arteriolar and peri-sinusoidal niche cells by the present RNA-seq analysis.

Retinoid X receptor promotes hematopoietic stem cell fitness and quiescence and preserves hematopoietic homesotasis [Single Cells]

Project description:Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) balance self-renewal and differentiation to maintain hematopoietic fitness throughout life. In steady-state conditions, HSC exhaustion is prevented by the maintenance of most HSCs in a quiescent state, with cells entering the cell cycle only occasionally. HSC quiescence is regulated by retinoid and fatty-acid ligands of transcriptional factors of the nuclear retinoid X receptor (RXR) family. Here, we show that dual deficiency for hematopoietic RXRa and RXRb induces HSC exhaustion, myeloid cell/megakaryocyte differentiation, and myeloproliferative-like disease. RXRa and RXRb maintain HSC quiescence, survival, and chromatin compaction; moreover, transcriptome changes in RXRa;RXRb-deficient HSCs include premature acquisition of an aging-like HSC signature, MYC pathway upregulation, and RNA intron retention. Fitness loss and associated RNA transcriptome and splicing alterations in RXRa;RXRb-deficient HSCs are prevented by Myc haploinsufficiency. Our study reveals the critical importance of RXRs for the maintenance of HSC fitness and their protection from premature aging.
