DNA methyltransferase Dnmt3ba-mediated epigenetic modulation of Integrin signaling is essential for hematopoietic stem and progenitor cell development

ABSTRACT: In vertebrate embryonic development, hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) originate from a subset of arterial endothelial cells in the ventral wall of the dorsal aorta through endothelial-to-hematopoietic transition (EHT). Despite extensive research efforts, gaps persist in understanding the establishment of EHT and HSPC generation. In this study, we demonstrate that DNA methyltransferase 3ba (Dnmt3ba), highly expressed in the hemogenic endothelial cells (HECs), plays a crucial role in HEC generation and HSPC development. Depletion of Dnmt3ba impairs HEC survival, which ultimately affects the generation and differentiation of HSPCs in zebrafish. Mechanistically, Dnmt3ba deficiency leads to hypomethylation at the itgα3b and itgα7 loci, diminishing the expression of these Integrins and downstream Akt signaling and Mdm2 phosphorylation, while concurrently triggering HEC apoptosis by upregulation of P53 activity. Manipulation of DNMT3B in an iPSC-derived human hematopoietic differentiation system indicates functional conservation. Collectively, our findings unveil an epigenetic mechanism governed by Dnmt3ba, orchestrating HEC survival through epigenetic modulation of Integrin signaling.

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.

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

Project description: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.

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.

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.

Cooperative Transcription Factor Induction Mediates Hemogenic Reprogramming

Project description:During development, hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPCs) arise from specialized endothelial cells by a process termed endothelial-to-hematopoietic transition (EHT). The genetic program driving human HSPC emergence remains largely unknown. We previously reported that the generation of hemogenic precursor cells from mouse fibroblasts recapitulates developmental hematopoiesis. Here, we demonstrate that human fibroblasts can be reprogrammed into hemogenic cells by the same transcription factors. Induced cells display dynamic EHT transcriptional programs, generate hematopoietic progeny, possess HSPC cell surface phenotype and repopulate immunodeficient mice for three months. Mechanistically, GATA2 and GFI1B interact and co-occupy a cohort of targets. This cooperative binding is reflected by engagement of open enhancers and promoters, initiating silencing of fibroblast genes and activating the hemogenic program. However, GATA2 displays dominant and independent targeting activity during the early phases of reprogramming. These findings shed light on the processes controlling human HSC specification and support generation of reprogrammed HSCs for clinical applications.
