Distinct roles for NF-κB in hematopoietic stem cells and the bone marrow milieu in promoting hematopoietic aging

ABSTRACT: Hematopoietic aging is characterized by chronic inflammation associated with myeloid bias, hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) accumulation, and functional HSC impairment. Yet it remains unclear how inflammation promotes aging phenotypes. Nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) both responds to and directs inflammation, and we present an experimental model of elevated NF-κB activity (“inhibitor of κB deficient” [IκB–]) to dissect its role in hematopoietic aging phenotypes. We find that while elevated NF-κB activity is not sufficient for HSC accumulation, HSC-autonomous NF-κB activity impairs their functionality, leading to reduced bone marrow reconstitution. In contrast, myeloid bias is driven by the IκB– proinflammatory bone marrow milieu, as observed functionally, epigenomically, and transcriptomically. A single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) HSPC labeling framework enables comparisons with aged murine and human HSC datasets, documenting an association between HSC-intrinsic NF-κB activity and quiescence but not myeloid bias. These findings delineate separate regulatory mechanisms that underlie the three hallmarks of hematopoietic aging, suggesting that they are specifically and independently therapeutically targetable.

Rad21-mediated NF-κB signaling limits hematopoietic stem cell self-renewal in aging and inflammation

Project description:MTD project_description Inflammation and decreased stem cell function characterize organism aging, yet the relationship between these factors remains incompletely understood. This study shows that aged hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells exhibit increased ground-stage NF-κB activity, which enhances their responsiveness to undergo differentiation and loss of self-renewal in response to inflammation. The study identifies Rad21/cohesin as a critical mediator of NF-κB signals, by increasing chromatin accessibility of inter-/intra-genic and enhancer regions. Rad21/NF-κB are required for normal differentiation, but limit self-renewal of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) during aging and inflammation in an NF-κB dependent manner. HSCs from aged mice fail to downregulate Rad21/cohesin and inflammation/differentiation inducing signals in the resolution phase after acute inflammation. and The inhibition of cohesin/NF-κB is sufficient to revert the hypersensitivity of aged HSPCs to inflammation-induced differentiation. During aging, myeloid-biased HSCs with disrupted and naturally occurring reduced expression of Rad21/cohesin are increasingly selected over lymphoid-biased HSCs. Together, Rad21/cohesin mediated NF-κB signaling limits HSPC function during aging and selects for cohesin deficient HSCs with myeloid skewed differentiation.

Population dynamics modeling reveals myeloid bias involves both HSC differentiation and progenitor proliferation biases

Project description:Aging and chronic inflammation are associated with overabundant myeloid-primed multipotent progenitors (MPPs) amongst hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs). While HSC differentiation bias has been considered a primary cause of myeloid bias, whether it is sufficient has not been quantitatively evaluated. Here, we analyzed bone marrow data from the IκB– (Nfkbia+/-Nfkbib-/-Nfkbie-/-) mouse model of inflammation with elevated NFκB activity, which shows increased myeloid-biased MPPs. We interpreted these data with differential equations models of population dynamics to identify alterations of HSPC proliferation and differentiation rates. This analysis revealed that short-term (ST) HSC differentiation bias alone is likely insufficient to account for the increase in myeloid-biased MPPs. To explore additional mechanisms, we used single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) measurements of IκB– and wild-type HSPCs to track the continuous differentiation-trajectories from HSCs to erythrocyte/megakaryocyte, myeloid, and lymphoid primed progenitors. Fitting a partial differential equations model of population dynamics to these data revealed not only less lymphoid-fate specification amongst HSCs, but also increased expansion of early myeloid-primed progenitors. Differentially expressed genes along the differentiation-trajectories supported increased proliferation amongst these progenitors. These findings were conserved when wild-type HSPCs were transplanted into IκB– recipients, indicating that an inflamed bone marrow microenvironment is a sufficient driver. We then applied our analysis pipeline to published scRNA-seq measurements of HSPCs isolated from aged mice, as well as human myeloid neoplasm patients. These analyses identified the same myeloid-primed progenitor expansion as in the IκB– models, suggesting that it is a common feature across different settings of myeloid bias.

Altered microRNA expression links IL6 and TNF-induced inflammaging with myeloid malignancy [miR146aKO_LSK_WGBS]

Project description:Aging is associated with significant changes in the hematopoietic system, including increased inflammation, impaired hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) function, and increased incidence of myeloid malignancy. Inflammation of aging (“inflammaging”) has been proposed as a driver of age-related changes in HSC function and myeloid malignancy, but mechanisms linking these phenomena remain poorly defined. Here, we identify loss of miR-146a as driving aging-associated inflammation in AML patients. miR-146a expression declined in old wild-type mice, and loss of miR-146a promoted premature HSC aging and inflammation in young miR-146a-null mice, preceding development of aging-associated myeloid malignancy. Using single-cell assays of HSC quiescence, stemness, differentiation potential, and epigenetic state to probe HSC function and population structure, we found that loss of miR-146a depleted a subpopulation of primitive, quiescent HSCs. DNA methylation and transcriptome profiling implicated NF-κB, IL6, and TNF as potential drivers of HSC dysfunction, activating an inflammatory signaling relay promoting IL6 and TNF secretion from mature miR-146a-/- myeloid and lymphoid cells. Reducing inflammation by targeting Il6 or Tnf was sufficient to restore single-cell measures of miR-146a-/- HSC function and subpopulation structure, and reduced the incidence of hematological malignancy in miR 146a-/- mice. miR-146a-/- HSCs exhibited enhanced sensitivity to IL6 stimulation, indicating that loss of miR-146a affects HSC function via both cell-extrinsic inflammatory signals and increased cell-intrinsic sensitivity to inflammation. Thus, loss of miR 146a regulates cell-extrinsic and -intrinsic mechanisms linking HSC inflammaging to the development of myeloid malignancy.

Ubiquitination profile of polarized macrophages

Project description:Previous studies linked mac activation with the ubiquitination (ub) status of key proteins in inflammatory signal pathways. Lysine-48 ub (K48-ub) of the NF-κB inhibitor (IκB), the final checkpoint of the NFκB pathway, leads to IκB degradation and consequent NF-κB-associated inflammation. In contrast, TRAF6, an upstream positive regulator of the NF-κB pathway, is modulated by K63-ub, leading to its conformational change and activation. However, a comprehensive analysis of ub profiles of polarized macs has not been reported. If a unique ub signature is associated with individual mac subsets is not known.

Igf2bp2 deletion reduces energy metabolism, gIgf2bp2 deletion reduces energy metabolism, growth signaling, and aging of hematopoietic stem cells in micerowth signaling, and aging of hematopoietic stem cells in mice

Project description:Increasing evidence links metabolic activity and cell growth to decline in hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) function during aging. The Lin28b/Hmga2 pathway controls tissue development and in the hematopoietic system the postnatal downregulation of this pathway causes a decrease in self renewal of adult HSCs compared to fetal HSCs. Igf2bp2 is an RNA binding protein and a mediator of the Lin28b/Hmga2 pathway, which regulates metabolism and growth signaling by influencing RNA stability and translation of its target genes. It is currently unknown whether Lin28/Hmga2/Igf2bp2 signaling impacts on aging-associated impairments in HSC function and hematopoiesis. Here, we analyzed homozygous Igf2bp2 germline knockout mice and wildtype control animals to address this question. The study shows that Igf2bp2 deletion rescues aging phenotypes of the hematopoietic system, such as the expansion of HSC numbers in bone marrow and the biased increase of myeloid cells in peripheral blood. This rescue of hematopoietic aging coincides with reduced mitochondrial metabolism and glycolysis in Igf2bp2-/- HSCs compared to Igf2bp2+/+ HSCs. Conversely, Igf2bp2 overexpression activates protein synthesis pathways in HSCs and leads to a rapid loss of self renewal by enhancing myeloid skewed differentiation in an mTOR/PI3K-dependent manner. Together, these results show that Igf2bp2 regulates energy metabolism and growth signaling in HSCs and that the activity of this pathways influences self renewal, differentiation, and aging of HSCs.

Investigation of mRNA expression pattern by RAD21 knockdown in hematopoetic stem cells

Project description:Elevated inflammation represents a hallmark of hematopoietic aging and leukemia development but mechanistically its impact on hematopoietic stem and progenitor cell (HSPC) maintenance remains incompletely understood. Here we identify Rad21/cohesin as a major component mediating inflammation-induced NF-kB signaling, which in turn limits self-renewal of HSPCs by induction of differentiation. Disruption of Rad21/cohesin diminishes inflammation-induced loss of self-renewal and induction of differentiation, but these effects are abrogated in NF-kB knockout (p50-/-) HSPCs. During aging, HSPCs exhibit an increased responsiveness to activate NF-kB signaling in response to inflammatory stimuli also resulting in activation of genes encoding for secreted cytokines. These cell intrinsic and extrinsic responses cooperatively enhance differentiation and loss of self-renewal of HSPCs resulting in increased selection of Rad21/cohesin deficient HSPCs exhibiting elevated self-renewal and myeloid skewed differentiation. Together, these results identify cohesin-mediated NF-kB signaling as a major axis connecting cell extrinsic increases in inflammation with the evolution of hallmark features HSC aging characterized by increases in self renewal and myeloid skewed differentiation aggravated by the concomitant selection of cohesin deficient HSPCs.

Transcription profiling by array of human bone marrow hematopoietic stem cells from healthy young and elderly individuals

Project description:In the human hematopoietic system, aging is associated with decreased bone marrow cellularity, decreased adaptive immune system function, and increased incidence of anemia and other hematological disorders and malignancies. Recent studies in mice suggest that changes within the hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) population during aging contribute significantly to the manifestation of these age-associated hematopoietic pathologies. While the mouse HSC population has been shown to change both quantitatively and functionally with age, changes in the human HSC and progenitor cell populations during aging have not yet been characterized. Gene expression profiling revealed that aged human HSC transcriptionally up-regulate genes associated with cell cycle, myeloid lineage specification, and myeloid malignancies. These age-associated alterations in the frequency, function, and gene expression profile of human HSC are significantly similar to those changes observed in mouse HSC, suggesting that hematopoietic aging is an evolutionarily conserved process. In order to elucidate the properties of an aged human hematopoietic system that may predispose to age-associated hematopoietic dysfunction, we evaluated HSC and other hematopoietic progenitor populations from healthy, hematologically normal young and elderly human bone marrow samples. We found that aged human HSC increase in frequency, are less quiescent, and exhibit myeloid-biased differentiation potential compared to young HSC.

Fecal microbiota transplantation from young donor mice rejuvenates hematopoietic stem cell in aged recipients by suppressing inflammatory signals while modulating gut microbiota and metabolites

Project description:Hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) aging is accompanied by hematopoietic reconstitution dysfunction, including loss of regenerative and engraftment ability, myeloid differentiation bias and elevated risks of hematopoietic malignancies. Gut microbiota, a key regulator of host health and immunity, has been recently reported to impact hematopoiesis. However, there is currently no empirical evidence elucidating the direct impact of gut microbiome on aging hematopoiesis. To assess these potential effects, we performed fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) from young mice to aged mice and observed an increment in both the absolute number and the engraftment ability of HSCs. Single cell RNA sequencing depicted overall transcriptional changes of HSCs as well as the bone marrow microenvironment and indicated that gut microbiota from young mice enhanced cell cycle activity of HSCs, attenuated canonical inflammatory signals and mitigated inflammation-associated phenotypes in aging hematopoiesis. Integrated microbiome-metabolome analysis uncovered that FMT reshaped gut microbiota construction and metabolite landscape, while the administration of Lachnospiraceae and tryptophan-associated metabolites promoted the recovery of hematopoiesis and rejuvenated aged HSCs. Together, our results highlighted the paramount importance of the gut microbiota in HSC aging and provided a strong rationale to limit hematopoietic exhaustion and treat hematologic disorders.
