Project description:Comparison of Mpl-/- mouse LSK cells, either treated with control (GFP) or Mpl lentivirus. Lineage negative bone marrow cells were isolated and transduced and transplanted into Mpl-/- recipient mice. After transplantation and follow up mice were sacrificed and LSK (lineage negative, Sca-1 positive, cKit positive) cells were isolated by FACS. RNA was isolated using RNeasy Micro Kit (Qiagen GmbH, Hilden, Germany) and RNA was amplified for microarray hybridization using the Nugen Ovation system (Nugen Technologies, AC Bemmel, Netherlands). The resulting material was hybridized to Affymetrix Mouse 430 2.0 arrays. RMA normalization and summarization was performed in R 2.10 using Bioconductor packages. The aim was to show the normalization of Mpl associated gene expression. 3 control (GFP transduced) samples of Mpl -/- mouse LSK cells and 3 treatment (Mpl transduced) samples of Mpl -/- mouse LSK cells.

Project description:Thrombopoietin (Thpo) signals via its receptor Mpl and regulates megakaryopoiesis, hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) maintenance and post-transplant expansion. Mpl expression is tightly controlled and deregulation of Thpo/Mpl-signaling is linked to hematological disorders. Here, we constructed an intracellular-truncated, signaling deficient Mpl protein which is presented on the cell surface (dnMpl). The transplantation of bone marrow cells retrovirally transduced to express dnMpl into wildtype mice induced thrombocytopenia, and a progressive loss of HSC. Functional analysis of the truncated Mpl in vitro and in vivo demonstrated no internalization after Thpo binding and the inhibition of Thpo/Mpl-signaling in wildtype cells due to dominant-negative (dn) effects by receptor competition with wildtype Mpl for Thpo binding. Gene expression analysis was performerd of Lin-Sca1+cKit+ (LSK) cells isolated from mice transplanted with dnMpl transduced BM cells. The gene expression profile supported the exhaustion of HSC due to increased cell cycle progression and identified new and known downstream effectors of Thpo/Mpl-signaling in HSC (namely TIE2, ESAM1 and EPCR detected on the HSC-enriched LSK cell population). In summary, we established a novel way of Thpo/Mpl inhibition in the adult mouse and performed in depth analysis of the phenotype including gene expression profiling. BM cells were flushed from the femurs and tibias of C57Bl/6 donor mice. Lineage-marker negative (lin-) cells were isolated by magnetic cell sorting using lineage-specific antibodies (GR1, CD11b, CD45R/B220, CD3e, TER-119). Prior to viral transduction, lin- BM cells were prestimulated for 24-48h in StemSpan, containing 10 ng/ml murine SCF, 20 ng/ml murine Thpo, 10 ng/ml recombinant human FGF-1, 20 ng/ml murine IGF2, 1% penicillin/streptomycin, 2 mM glutamine. Lin- cells were transduced twice on two following days with an MOI of 10 with retroviral vectors on Retronectin coated and preloaded wells (10 μg/cm2). On day four after isolation, 5x10^5 cells/mouse were intravenously injected into lethally irradiated C57Bl/6 mice (10 Gy). Eight weeks after transplantation Lin-Sca1+cKit+ (LSK) cells were isolated from dnMpl and control transplanted mice by fluorescent activated cell sorting. For each sample, BM of 2-5 mice were pooled. RNA was isolated using RNeasy Micro Kit (Qiagen GmbH, Hilden, Germany). RNA quality was assessed using the Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer.

Project description:Myelofibrosis (MF) is caused by genetic abnormalities involving the thrombopoietin (TPO)/MPL/JAK2 axis. Furthermore MF patients have elevated serum TPO levels. MF is also associated with reduced GATA1 content in MK suggesting that this abnormality represents a phenotypic modifier. In 2014, Dr. Crispino suggested that in MF abnormal TPO signaling induces a ribosomal deficiency hampering GATA1 mRNA translation in MK. Support for MK GATA1 deficiency as “phenotypic modifier” in MF was provided by the observation that mice carrying the Gata1low mutation reducing Gata1 transcription in MK develop myelofibrosis. Since reduced RBC half-life subject these mice to continuous “erythroid stress”, we investigated the TPO/Mpl axis in this model. In Gata1low and wild-type mice, TPO mRNA was expressed by bone marrow (BM), spleen and liver. The greatest expression (by 300-fold) was detected in liver. Gata1low livers expressed TPO mRNA levels 6-fold greater than wild-type livers. TPO protein was detected in BM, spleen, liver and peritoneum washes and plasma. The greatest levels where detected in plasma. Gata1low plasma contained TPO levels 2-fold lower than wild-type plasma, but 2-times greater than plasma from bleed wild-type mice and Mplnull mice with similar thrombocytopenia, suggesting that TPO is overproduced in Gata1low mice. JAK2 and STAT5 were easily detected in Gata1low BM bur barely detectable in wild-type BM, suggesting that in the former MPL is prompt to signaling activation. Furthermore, Gata1low LSK expressed levels of Mpl mRNA 3-times greater than wild-type cells but expressed cell-surface levels of MPL 2-times lower than wild-type cells and similar to those on LSK from TPO-treated wild-type mice, suggesting that MPL is down-modulated in Gata1low LSK. The Crispino’s hypothesis that in MF activation of TPO/MPL/JAK2 induces a ribosomal deficiency hampering GATA1 mRNA translation and the realization that this axis is activated in Gata1low mice made us question the original hypothesis that reduced content of GATA1 in Gata1low MK results from deletion of lineage-specific enhancers. Microarray analyses indeed identified that Gata1low BM express a discordant ribosome signature including reduced expression of RPS24 and RPS36A, two genes mutated in Diamond Blackfan Anemia, a disease characterized by inefficient GATA1 mRNA translation. Electron microscopy identified that the cytoplasm of Gata1low MK contained poorly developed endoplasmic reticulum with rare polysomes. In conclusion, these results validate the Gata1low model as a MF model by indicating that these mice express an activated TPO/MPL axis and an abnormal ribosomal signature which may reduce efficiency of Gata1 mRNA translation.

Project description:Using a CML mouse model, we identified differences in gene expression between leukemic compared with non-leukemic LTHSC, including increased expression of the thrombopoietin (THPO) receptor MPL. LTHSC expressing high levels of MPL showed enhanced JAK/STAT signaling and proliferation in response to THPO in vitro, and increased leukemogenic capacity in vivo compared to LTHSC with low MPL expression. Although both G0 and S-phase subpopulations were increased in MPL expressing LTHSC, LSC capacity was restricted to quiescent cells. Inhibition of MPL expression in CML LTHSC resulted in reduced THPO-induced JAK/STAT signaling and leukemogenic potential. Similar observations were made with LTHSC from CML patients. MPL expressing LTHSC demonstrated reduced sensitivity to BCR-ABL TKI treatment but demonstrated increased sensitivity to JAK inhibitors. Our studies identify MPL expression levels as a key determinant of heterogeneous leukemia-initiating capacity and drug sensitivity of CML LTHSC, and suggest that MPL-expressing CML stem cells are critical targets for therapy. To evaluate heterogeneity in LSC potential, donor LTHSC from SCL-tTA/BCR-ABL mice (200 cells/mouse) were transplanted into a cohort of congenic FVBN mice. Recipient mice were followed for engraftment of donor CML cells and development of CML. LTHSCs were isolated from leukemic and non-leukemic recipient mice and global gene expression was analyzed using RNA-Seq.

Project description:In the previous studies, we reported that Mpl alternative splicing form Mpl-del overexpressed in acute megakaryoblasttic leukemia (AMKL) patients and mediated thrombopoietin signaling to promote AMKL cells malignant proliferation and chemotherapy resisitance. To investigate the detailed mechanism of Mpl-del mediated AMKL cells proliferation and survival, the AMKL cell Dami stably expressing GFP or Mpl-del-GFP were established by transduction with GFP or Mpl-del-GFP lentiviruses and treated with 20ng/ml TPO for RNA-SEQ analysis to examine the expression of proliferation and survival-related genes. Our results indicated that the levels of the "leading edge" genes that account for survival and prolieration were significantly higher in Mpl--del overexpressed AMKL cells.

Project description:Dnm2fl/fl Pf4-Cre (Dnm2Plt-/-) mice lacking the endocytic GTPase dynamin 2 (DNM2) in platelets and megakaryocytes (MKs) develop hallmarks of myelofibrosis. At the cellular level, the tyrosine kinase JAK2 is constitutively active but decreased in expression in Dnm2Plt-/- platelets. Additionally, Dnm2Plt-/- platelets cannot endocytose the thrombopoietin (TPO) receptor Mpl, leading to elevated circulating TPO levels. Here, we assessed whether the hyperproliferative phenotype of Dnm2Plt-/- mice was due to JAK2 constitutive activation or elevated circulating TPO levels. In unstimulated Dnm2Plt-/- platelets, STAT3 and to a lower extent STAT5 were phosphorylated, but their phosphorylation was slowed and diminished upon TPO stimulation. We further crossed Dnm2Plt-/- mice in the Mpl-/- background to generate Mpl-/- Dnm2Plt-/- mice lacking Mpl ubiquitously and DNM2 in platelets and MKs. Mpl-/- Dnm2Plt-/- platelets had severely reduced JAK2 and STAT3 but normal STAT5 expression. Mpl-/- Dnm2Plt-/- mice had severely reduced bone marrow MK and hematopoietic stem and progenitor cell numbers. Additionally, Mpl-/- Dnm2Plt-/- mice had severe erythroblast maturation defects, decreased expression of hemoglobin and heme homeostasis genes, increased expression of ribosome biogenesis and protein translation genes, and developed anemia with grossly elevated plasma erythropoietin levels, leading to early fatality by postnatal day 25. Mpl-/- Dnm2Plt+/+ mice had impaired EB development at three weeks of age, which normalized with adulthood. Together, the data shows that DNM2-dependent Mpl-mediated endocytosis in platelets and MKs is required for steady-state hematopoiesis and provides novel insights into a developmentally controlled role for Mpl in normal erythropoiesis, regulating hemoglobin and heme production.

Project description:In the previous studies, we reported that c-Mpl alternative splicing form c-Mpl-del overexpressed in acute megakaryoblasttic leukemia (AMKL) patients and mediated thrombopoietin signaling to promote AMKL cells malignant proliferation and chemotherapy resisitance. To investigate the detailed mechanism of c-Mpl-del mediated AMKL cells survival and chemotherapy resisitance, the AMKL cell Dami stably expressing GFP, c-Mpl-del-GFP or c-Mpl-p-GFP were established by transduction with GFP, c-Mpl-del-GFP or c-Mpl-p-GFP lentiviruses and treated with or without Ara-c (10μM) in the presence of 20ng/mL TPO for RNA-SEQ analysis to exame the expression of survival-related genes. Our results indicate that the levels of the "leading edge" genes that account for survival and prolieration are significantly higher in c-Mpl-del overexpressed AMKL cells. Meanwhile, the expression of c-Mpl-del promotes the tolerance of AMKL cells to Ara-c.
