Spatial transcriptomics of murine bone marrow megakaryocytes at single-cell resolution

ABSTRACT: Megakaryocytes are bone marrow (BM) resident cells that derive from hematopoietic stem cells. A pivotal function of megakaryocytes is the generation of platelets through the release of long protrusions called proplatelets into sinusoidal vessels. single-cell RNA-sequencing on murine BM megakaryocytes has previously revealed transcriptional heterogeneity with segmentation into four distinct categories. These studies postulated functions beyond platelet production with evidence for immunoregulatory and stem cell niche supporting subtypes, as well as a cycling population. The spatial context and transcriptional heterogeneity of megakaryocytes is of great interest as localization of for instance the vasculature is a necessity for platelet production. For single-cell RNA sequencing this spatial orientation is however lost due to the dissociation of tissues. Recent technological advances have enabled the interrogation of gene expression profiles of tissues in situ. This enables the integration of morphological, situational and transcriptional information to classify cells in the context of their microenvironment. In the following we present, for the first time, the application of this technology to BM megakaryocytes at a single cell level.

PF4-Cre mediated deletion of SRF in murine megakaryocytes.

Project description:Srf is a MADS-box transcription factor that is critical for muscle differentiation. Its function in hematopoiesis has not yet been revealed. Mkl1, a cofactor of Srf, is part of the t(1;22) translocation in acute megakaryoblastic leukemia, and plays a critical role in megakaryopoiesis. In order to test the role of Srf in megakaryocyte development, we crossed Pf4-Cre mice, which express Cre recombinase in cells committed to the megakaryocytic lineage, to SrfF/F mice in which functional Srf is no longer expressed after Cre-mediated excision. Pf4-Cre/SrfF/F (KO) mice are born with normal mendelian frequency, but have significant macrothrombocytopenia with approximately 50% reduction in platelet count. In contrast, the BM has increased numbers and percentages of CD41+ megakaryocytes (WT: 0.41+/-0.06%; KO: 1.92+/-0.12%) with significantly reduced ploidy. KO mice show significantly increased megakaryocyte progenitors in the BM by both FACS analysis and CFU-Mk. Megakaryocytes lacking Srf have abnormal stress fiber and demarcation membrane formation and platelets lacking Srf have abnormal actin distribution. In vitro and in vivo assays reveal platelet function defects in KO mice. Critical actin cytoskeletal genes are downregulated in KO megakaryocytes. Thus, Srf is required for normal megakaryocyte maturation and platelet production, due at least in part, to regulation of cytoskeletal genes.

Immune cells surveil aberrantly sialylated O-glycans on megakaryocytes to regulate platelet count

Project description:Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is a common platelet disorder in pediatric patients. Pediatric and adult ITP have been associated with sialic acid alterations, but the pathophysiology of ITP remains elusive, and ITP is often a diagnosis of exclusion. Our analysis of pediatric ITP plasma samples showed increased anti-Thomsen-Friedenreich antigen (TF-antigen) antibody representation, suggesting increased exposure of the typically sialylated and cryptic TF-antigen in these patients. The O-glycan sialyltransferase St3gal1 add sialic acid specifically on the TF-antigen. To understand if TF-antigen exposure associates with thrombocytopenia, we generated a mouse model with targeted deletion of St3gal1 in megakaryocytes (MK) (St3gal1MK-/-). TF-antigen exposure was restricted to MKs and resulted in thrombocytopenia. Deletion of Jak3 in St3gal1MK-/- mice normalized platelet counts implicating involvement of immune cells. Interferon-producing Siglec H-positive bone marrow (BM) immune cells engaged with O-glycan sialic acid moieties to regulate type I interferon (IFN-I) secretion and platelet release (thrombopoiesis), as evidenced by partially normalized platelet count following and inhibition of interferon and Siglec H receptors. Single cell RNAseq determined that TF-antigen exposure by MKs primed St3gal1MK-/- BM immune cells to release IFN-I. Single cell RNAseq further revealed a new population of immune cells with a plasmacytoid dendritic cell (pDC)-like signature and concomitant upregulation of immunoglobulin re-arrangement gene transcripts Igkc and Ighm, suggesting additional immune regulatory mechanisms. Thus, aberrant TF-antigen moieties, often found in pathological conditions, regulate immune cells and thrombopoiesis in the BM, leading to reduced platelet count.

Genome-wide localization of NF-E2 p45 in mouse primary megakaryocytes.

Project description:ChIP-seq assay was performed with anti-p45 antibody using in vitro cultured primary megakaryocytes to identify direct p45 target genes in megakaryocytes. This analysis revealed genes that regulate platelet function, which were not known previously to be p45-regulated. ChIP was performed using a day-3 primary culture of megakaryocytes from E13.5 fetal livers of wild-type mice with an anti-p45 antibody.

Comparison of gene expression profiles of miR-142-/- primary megakaryocytes and WT primary megakaryocytes

Project description:Whole fetal livers were collected from mouse fetuses at embryonic day 14.5 (E14.5), and single-cell suspensions were prepared by successive passage through 18-, 21 and 23-gauge needles. Fetal liver cells were maintained in Dulbecco modified Eagle medium (DMEM; Invitrogen) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS; Invitrogen), 100 U/ml penicillin, 100M-BM-5g/ml streptomycin, and 50ng/ml recombinant human thrombopoietin (TPO; Peprotech). After 5 days of culture, megakaryocytes were purified using a discontinuous bovine serum albumin gradient (BSA, SigmaM-bM-^@M-^SAldrich; 3%, 1.5%, and 0%). Total RNA was isolated with TriM-bM-^@M-^SReagent (MRC) following manufacturerM-bM-^@M-^Ys instructions, and its quality was assessed with NDM-bM-^@M-^S1000 Nanodrop (Peqlab) and on a 1.5% agarose gel. Gene expression was measured in primary megakaryocytes cultured from miR-142-/- fetal livers and wild type fetal livers at E14.5. Two independent experiments were performed.

RNA-sequencing of bone marrow and splenic megakaryocytes during homeostasis and sepsis

Project description:Platelets have a wide range of functions including critical roles in hemostasis, thrombosis, and immunity. We hypothesized that during acute inflammation, such as in life-threatening sepsis, there are fundamental changes in the sites of platelet production and phenotypes of resultant platelets. Here, we showed during sepsis that the spleen is a major site of megakaryopoiesis and platelet production. Sepsis provoked an adrenergic-dependent mobilization of megakaryocyte-erythrocyte progenitors (MEPs) from the bone marrow to the spleen where interleukin-3 (IL-3) induced their differentiation into megakaryocytes. In the spleen, immune-skewed megakaryocytes produced a CD40L-high platelet population with potent immunomodulatory functions. Transfusions of post-sepsis platelets enriched from splenic production enhanced immune responses and reduced overall mortality in sepsis-challenged animals. These findings identify a spleen-derived protective platelet population that may be broadly immunomodulatory in acute inflammatory states such as sepsis.

Pathogenesis of dominant-negative mutant GFI1B and associated proteomic abnormalities in megakaryocytes and platelets

Project description:Dominant-negative mutations in transcription factor Growth Factor Independence-1B (GFI1B) cause a bleeding disorder characterized by a plethora of megakaryocyte and platelet abnormalities. The deregulated molecular mechanisms and pathways are unknown. Here we show that normal and mutant GFI1B interacted most strongly with the LSD1-RCOR-HDAC corepressor complex in megakaryoblasts. Sequestration of this complex by mutant GFI1B and chemical separation of GFI1B from LSD1 induced abnormalities in normal megakaryocytes comparable to those seen in patients. Megakaryocytes derived from GFI1B-mutant induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) also phenocopied abnormalities seen in patients. Proteome studies on normal and mutant iPSC-derived megakaryocytes identified a multitude of deregulated pathways downstream of mutant GFI1B. Proteome studies on primary normal and GFI1B-mutant platelets showed reduced expression of proteins implicated in platelet function, and sustained expression of proteins normally downregulated during megakaryocyte differentiation. Thus, GFI1B regulates a broad developmental program during megakaryopoiesis. Mutant GFI1B deregulates this program through LSD1-RCOR-HDAC sequestering.

Transcription profiling by array of mouse bone marrow lineage- c-Kit+ Sca-1+ cells in which floxed Mpl alleles were specifically and homozygously deleted in megakaryocytes and platelets

Project description:Thrombopoietin (TPO) acting via its receptor Mpl is the major cytokine regulator of platelet number. To precisely define the role of specific hematopoietic cells in TPO dependent hematopoiesis, we generated mice that express the Mpl receptor normally on stem/progenitor cells but lack expression on megakaryocytes and platelets (MplPF4cre/PF4cre). MplPF4cre/PF4cre mice displayed profound megakaryocytosis and thrombocytosis with a remarkable expansion of megakaryocyte-committed and multipotential progenitor cells, the latter displaying biological responses and a gene expression signature indicative of chronic TPO over-stimulation as the underlying causative mechanism, despite a normal circulating TPO level. Thus, TPO signaling in megakaryocytes is dispensable for platelet production; its key role in control of platelet number is via generation and stimulation of the bipotential megakaryocyte precursors. Nevertheless, Mpl expression on megakaryocytes and platelets is essential to prevent megakaryocytosis and myeloproliferation by restricting the amount of TPO available to stimulate the production of megakaryocytes from the progenitor cell pool.

Plasmacytoid dendritic cells regulate tissue homeostasis of megakaryocytes

Project description:Platelet homeostasis is essential for vascular integrity and immune defense. While the process of platelet formation by fragmenting megakaryocytes (thrombopoiesis) has been extensively studied, the cellular and molecular mechanisms required to constantly replenish the pool of megakaryocytes (MKs) by their progenitor cells (megakaryopoiesis) remains unclear. Here we use intravital imaging to track the cellular dynamics of megakaryopoiesis over days. We identify plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs) as homeostatic sensors that monitor the bone marrow for apoptotic MKs and deliver IFN- to the MK niche triggering local on-demand proliferation and maturation of MK progenitors. This fine-tuned coordination between thrombopoiesis and megakaryopoiesis is crucial for MK and platelet homeostasis in steady state and stress. However, excessive activation of pDCs, such as by viral infections, can disturb this homeostatic circuit. Accordingly, we show that pDCs activated by SARS-CoV2 drive inappropriate megakaryopoiesis. Together, we uncover a hitherto unknown pDC-dependent homeostatic circuit that involves innate immune sensing and demand-adapted release of inflammatory mediators to maintain tissue homeostasis of the megakaryocytic lineage.
