Project description:Self-renewing hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) during hematopoietic regeneration showed lower intracellular glutamate (Glu) levels compared with dividing progenitor cells in the steady state and HSCs that attenuate stem cell features during ex vivo culture. Moreover, R162, an inhibitor of glutamine dehydrogenase (Glud1) that catabolize Glu into α-ketoglutarate, contributed to stem cell maintenance during HSC divisions. These data suggest that lower intracellular Glu levels during HSC division contributed to self-renewing divisions by suppressing Glud1-mediated reactions.

Project description:Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) balance self-renewal and differentiation to maintain homeostasis. With aging, the frequency of polar HSCs decreases. Cell polarity in HSCs is controlled by the activity of the small RhoGTPase Cdc42. Here we demonstrate, using a comprehensive set of paired daughter cell analyses that include single cell 3D-confocal imaging, single cell transplants, single cell RNA-seq as well as single cell ATAC-seq, that the outcome of HSC divisions is strongly linked to the polarity status before mitosis, which is in turn determined by the level of the activity Cdc42 in stem cells. Aged apolar HSCs undergo preferentially self-renewing symmetric divisions, resulting in daughter stem cells with reduced regenerative capacity and lymphoid potential, while young polar HSCs undergo preferentially asymmetric divisions. Mathematical modeling in combination with experimental data implies a mechanistic role of the asymmetric sorting of Cdc42 in determining the potential of daughter cells via epigenetic mechanisms. Therefore, molecules that control HSC polarity might serve as modulators of the mode of stem cell division regulating the potential of daughter cells.

Project description:To guarantee blood supply throughout adult life hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) need to carefully balance between self-renewing cell divisions and quiescence. Identification of genes controlling HSC self-renewal is of utmost importance given that HSCs are the only stem cells with broad clinical applications. Transcription factor PU.1 is one of the major regulators of myeloid and lymphoid development. Recent reports suggest that PU.1 mediates its functions via gradual expression level changes rather than binary on/off states. So far, this has not been considered in any study of HSCs and thus, PU.1’s role in HSC function has remained largely unclear. Here we demonstrate using hypomorphic mice with an engineered disruption of an autoregulatory feedback loop that decreased PU.1 levels resulted in loss of key HSC functions, all of which could be fully rescued by restoration of proper PU.1 levels via a human PU.1 transgene. Mechanistically, we found excessive HSC cell divisions and altered expression of cell cycle regulators whose promoter regions were bound by PU.1 in normal HSCs. Adequate PU.1 levels were maintained by a mechanism of direct autoregulation restricted to HSCs through a physical interaction of a -14kb enhancer with the proximal promoter. Our findings identify PU.1 as novel regulator controling the switch between cell division and quiescence in order to prevent exhaustion of HSCs. Given that even moderate level changes greatly impact stem cell function, our data suggest important therapeutic implications for leukemic patients with reduced PU.1 levels. Moreover, we provide first proof, that autoregulation of a transcription factor, PU.1, has a crucial function in vivo. We anticipate that our concept of how autoregulation forms an active chromosomal conformation will impact future research on transcription factor networks regulating stem cell fate. HSCs of Pu.1 knock-in (PU.1ki/ki) mice were used for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. We compared these microarray samples with the corresponding wild type.

Project description:Adult hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) sustain the lifelong production of all mature blood and immune cells. HSCs possess extensive regenerative potential, but the actual self-renewal of HSCs is limited. A long-standing question has been why replicative history negatively impacts HSC lineage-generating capacity. We found that accrued divisions durably alter HSC production; generating low-output bone-marrow landscapes that are highly variable in both lineage contribution and transcriptional divergence within individual lineages. Mechanistically, division-driven functional alterations in HSCs are due to redirecting branched chain amino acid (BCAA) usage from catabolic towards anabolic activity, causing faster HSC cell-cycle kinetics. Adding a BCAA deaminated product is sufficient to bypass the BCAA catabolic checkpoint and slow down the cell cycle, durably rescuing balanced lineage output of HSCs with accrued divisions. Hence, our study suggests a novel paradigm whereby replicative history causes metabolic and transcriptional drift, generating divergent HSC output. Division-dependent HSC functional drift can be restored by metabolite replacement, which has long-term therapeutic implications for HSC regenerative medicine.

Project description:The goal of this study is to identify m6A targets in mouse HSC and MPP1-4 cells Stem cells regulate their self-renewal and differentiation fate outcomes through both symmetric and asymmetric divisions. When exposed to stress such as inflammation, stem cells can rapidly undergo symmetric commitment divisions to generate differentiated progenitors for tissue regeneration and immune maintenance. m6A RNA methylation controls symmetric commitment and inflammation of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) through unknown mechanisms. Here, we demonstrate that the nuclear speckle protein SON is an essential m6A target required for murine HSC self-renewal, symmetric commitment, and inflammation control. Global profiling of m6A identified that m6A mRNA methylation of Son increases during HSC commitment. Upon m6A depletion, Son mRNA increases, but its protein is depleted. Reintroduction of SON rescues defects in HSC symmetric commitment divisions and engraftment. Conversely, Son deletion results in a loss of HSC fitness, while overexpression of SON improves mouse and human HSC engraftment potential by increasing quiescence. Additionally, SON nuclear speckles asymmetrically and symmetrically segregate during HSC division, correlating with hematopoietic differentiation. Mechanistically, we found that SON rescues MYC and suppresses the METTL3-HSC inflammatory gene expression program by indirectly reducing double-stranded RNAs and directly suppressing nascent transcription of proinflammatory chemokine CCL5. Depletion of CCL5 partially rescues the functional defect of m6A-deficient HSCs. Thus, our findings define a m6A-SON-CCL5 axis that controls inflammation and HSC fate.

Project description:Iron is an essential element for several cellular processes and recent evidence highlighted its role in regulating the function of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). When in excess it reduces quiescence and self-renewal, however, whether and how iron influences HSC metabolism is still unknown. Here, we show that intracellular iron overload (IO) impairs mitochondrial fitness and bioenergetics, inducing metabolic rewiring in HSCs. In three models of IO, HSCs accumulate mitochondria with elevated reactive oxygen species (ROS), low membrane potential and reduced oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS). IO HSCs proliferate despite low mitochondrial activity and OXPHOS and rely on glycolysis for energy production. Notably, restoration of mitochondrial function by targeting in vivo iron and mitochondrial ROS improved the quiescence and self-renewal of IO HSCs. Our results unravel the critical interplay between iron, ROS and mitochondria in HSCs, disclosing that iron acts as an extrinsic regulator of HSC metabolic programs.
