Project description:The erythroblastic island (EBI), composed of a central macrophage and surrounding erythroid cells, was the first hematopoietic niche discovered. The identity of EBI macrophages has thus far remained elusive. Gene expression profiles of BM F4/80+Epor-eGFP+ macrophages suggest a specialized function in supporting erythropoiesis.

Project description:Gene expression during cellular differentiation is coordinated by combinatorial interactions between transcription factors (TFs) and cofactors at promoters and enhancers. The “master TF” GATA1 coordinates gene transcription in a subset of hematopoietic lineages, including erythroid, megakaryocytic, mast, and eosinophil, while repressing the development of other blood lineages. However, the specific cofactors required for GATA1-activated gene expression during hematopoiesis are incompletely defined. We identified the cofactor KMT2D, an H3K4 methyltransferase that collaborates with H3K27 acetyltransferases to activate transcription, in an unbiased CRISPR/Cas9 screen for epigenetic regulators of erythropoiesis. Loss of KMT2D in human erythroid precursors caused developmental arrest with impaired expression of numerous erythroid genes. Mechanistically, KMT2D colocalized with GATA1 on more than one thousand erythroid enhancers associated with over two hundred erythroid genes. In general, co-occupancy of GATA1 and KMT2D at erythroid enhancers was associated with stronger transcriptional activity than occupancy by GATA1 alone. Acute depletion of KMT2D in erythroid precursors caused rapid reductions of H3K4me1 and H3K27ac on a subset of GATA1-bound enhancers and impaired the expression of canonical erythroid genes, including ZFPM1, SLC4A1, and EPOR. Moreover, acute depletion of GATA1 or KMT2D individually caused downregulation of overlapping gene sets. Thus, KMT2D controls erythropoiesis by selectively activating GATA1-dependent erythroid enhancers. Our studies identify KMT2D as a novel cofactor for transcriptional activation by GATA1 during erythropoiesis. More generally, our findings demonstrate how a lineage-specific TF cooperates with a ubiquitous epigenetic regulator to drive lineage-specific gene expression during cellular differentiation.

Project description:The erythroblastic island (EBI), composed of a central macrophage and surrounding maturing erythroblasts, is the erythroid precursor niche. Despite numerous studies, its precise composition is still unclear. Using multispectral imaging flow cytometry (IFC), in vitro island reconstitution, and single cell RNA-seq of EBI-component cells enriched by gradient sedimentation, we present evidence that CD11b+ cells present in the EBIs are neutrophil precursors specifically associated with bone marrow EBI macrophages, indicating that erythro-(myelo)-blastic islands are a site for terminal granulopoiesis as well as erythropoiesis and production of these lineages is dynamically regulated within this niche. We further demonstrate that the balance between these lineages is determined by pathophysiological conditions, favoring granulopoiesis during anemia of inflammation, or erythropoiesis after erythropoietin (Epo) stimulation. Finally, we provide the heterogeneous molecular profiling of EBI macrophages as revealed by Cellular Indexing of Transcriptome and Epitopes (CITE)-sequencing of mouse bone marrow EBIs at baseline and after Epo-stimulation in vivo. Altogether, these data demonstrate that EBIs serve a dual role as terminal erythropoiesis and granulopoiesis niches and the central macrophages adapt to the needs of stress erythropoiesis as well as granulopoiesis.

Project description:Mitochondrial tRNA taurine modifications mediated by mitochondrial tRNA translation optimization 1 (Mto1) is essential for the mitochondrial protein translation. Mto1 deficiency was shown to induce proteostress in embryonic stem cells. Recently a patient with MTO1 gene mutation presented with severe anemia was reported, which led us to hypothesize that Mto1 dysfunctions may result in defective erythropoiesis. Hematopoietic-specific Mto1 conditional knockout (cKO) mice were embryonic lethal due to niche-independent defective terminal erythroid differentiation. Mechanistically, mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation complexes were severely impaired in the Mto1 cKO fetal liver and this was followed by cytoplasmic iron accumulation. Overloaded cytoplasmic iron promoted heme biosynthesis, which induced an unfolded protein response via the IRE1-Xbp1 signaling pathway in Mto1 cKO erythroblasts. An iron chelator rescued erythroid terminal differentiation in the Mto1 cKO fetal liver in vitro. This novel non-energy-related mitochondrial iron homeostasis revealed the indispensable role of mitochondrial tRNA modification in hematopoiesis.

Project description:Erythropoiesis is a tightly regulated process. Development of red blood cells occurs through differentiation of hematopoietic stem cells into more committed progenitors and finally into erythrocytes. Binding of erythropoietin to its receptor (EpoR) is strictly required for erythropoiesis as it promotes survival and late maturation of erythroid progenitors. In vivo and in vitro studies have highlighted the requirement of EpoR signaling through Jak2 tyrosine-kinase and Stat5a/b as a central pathway. Here, we demonstrate that phospholipase C gamma 1 (Plcγ1) is activated downstream of EpoR/Jak2 independently of Stat5. Plcγ1-deficient proerythroblasts and erythroid progenitors exhibited strong impairment in differentiation and colony-forming potential. In vivo, suppression of Plcγ1 in immunophenotypically defined hematopoietic stem cells (Lin-Sca1+KIT+CD48-CD150+) severely reduced erythroid development. To identify Plcγ1 effector molecules involved in regulation of erythroid differentiation we assessed for changes on the level of transcription and DNA methylation after inactivation of Plcγ1. The single common downstream effector was H2AFY2, which encodes for the histone variant macroH2A2 (mH2A2). Suppression of macroH2A2 expression recapitulated the effects of Plcγ1 knockdown on erythroid maturation. Taken together, our findings identify Plcγ1 and its downstream target macroH2A2, as a ânon-canonicalâ signaling pathway essential for erythroid differentiation. MCIP-seq was used to interrogate methylation changes during Epo-induced differentiation of murine I/11 erythroblastic cell line upon knock-down of Plcy1 as compared to a mock control. Two different shRNA constructs that target Plcg1 were investigated at two different time points.

Project description:Preeclampsia (PE) has been associated with placental dysfunction, resulting in foetal hypoxia, accelerated erythropoiesis and increased erythroblast count in the umbilical cord blood (UCB). Although the detailed effects remain unknown, placental dysfunction can also cause inflammation, nutritional and oxidative stress in the fetus that can affect erythropoiesis. Here, we compared the expression of surface adhesion molecules and erythroid differentiation capacity of UCB hematopoietic stem/ progenitor cells (HSPCs), UCB erythroid profiles along with transcriptome and proteome of these cells between male and female foetuses from PE and normotensive pregnancies. While no significant differences were observed in UCB HSPC migration/ homing and in vitro erythroid colony differentiation, the UCB HSPC transcriptome and the proteomic profile of the in vitro differentiated erythroid cells differed between PE vs normotensive samples. Accordingly, despite absence of significant differences in the UCB erythroid populations in male or female foetuses from PE or normotensive pregnancies, transcriptional changes were observed during erythropoiesis, particularly affecting male foetuses. Pathway analysis suggested deregulation in mTORC1/AMPK signaling pathways controlling cell cycle, differentiation and protein synthesis. These results associate PE with transcriptional and proteomic changes in foetal HSPCs and erythroid cells that may underlie the higher erythroblast count in the UCB in PE.
