Macro-scale, scaffold-assisted model of the human bone marrow endosteal niche using hiPSC-vascularized osteoblastic organoids

ABSTRACT: Endosteal bone marrow (BM) niches are crucial to sustain non-steady-state hematopoiesis but are challenging to be modeled in their cellular and molecular complexity in standardized, human settings. We report a developmentally guided approach to generate a macro-scale organotypic model of BM endosteal niches (engineered vascularized osteoblastic niche [eVON]) based on human induced pluripotent stem cells and porous hydroxyapatite scaffolds. The eVON contains long-lasting vascular networks covered by pericytes and neural fibers within an osteogenic matrix. Key niche signals (CXCL12, KITLG, and vascular endothelial growth factor A [VEGFA]) are expressed in human-specific patterns. The system supports hematopoiesis in vitro and preserves hematopoietic stem and progenitor cell (HSPC) multilineage repopulation capacity in vivo. eVON perturbations at cellular (removing vasculature) and molecular (deregulating VEGF-A and CXCL12 signaling) levels enabled the investigation of the contribution of endosteal vasculature to myelopoiesis. The eVON faithfully captures phenotypic, structural, and functional features of human endosteal BM, enabling the study of pathophysiological interactions with hematopoietic cells.

Analysis of mouse central bone marrow versus endosteal transcriptome to define the hematopoietic stem cell niche at the endosteum

Project description:Stem cell function is regulated by specialized microenvironments called stem cell niches. These niches maintain stem cells in a dormant state and promote self-renewal. The most potent hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) with high self-renewal potential are reportedly enriched in the endosteal compared to the central region of the bone marrow. Therefore we analyzed the global transcriptome of the endosteal region and directly compared it to that of the central bone marrow (BM). This comparative, differential analysis revealed that in addition to genes specific to the osteoblastic and osteoclastic lineage and classic regulators of HSC (CXCL12, KIT ligand, angiopoietin-1, Jagged-1, N-cadherin), the endosteum abundantly expresses prostaglandin I2 (PGI2) synthase (Ptgis), which produces PGI2. PGI2 is a highly labile, lipid metabolite with no known roles in regulating HSCs. We show in this study that PGI2 is a potent regulator of HSC function. Therefore comparing endosteal versus central BM transcriptome is a viable approach for uncovering candidate genes that may regulate the function of HSC and the HSC niche.

Selective endosteal remodeling of blood vessels in acute myeloid leukemia promotes malignancy at the expense of hematopoietic stem cells

Project description:Hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) function requires bone marrow vascular niches, which have been proposed to be co-opted by leukemia cells to support their propagation. Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cells produce angiogenic factors; however, anti-angiogenic therapies have not improved AML patient outcome. Using intravital microscopy we uncovered hierarchical vascular remodeling with AML progression. AML cells outcompete non-malignant hematopoiesis by gradual elimination of stroma cells, endosteal endothelium, and osteoblastic cells. While central marrow remains vascularized and splenic vascular niches expand, the remodeled endosteal regions lose the ability to retain HSCs. Overall, the endosteal endothelium microenvironment is altered by AML, yet by preserving it we rescue HSC loss and promote chemotherapeutic efficacy. Our findings suggest therapies targeting the endosteal vasculature may improve existing AML therapeutic regimes.

AE9a leukemia cells located in endosteal region exhibit a transcriptional signature enriched in hypoxia and high Ddit4 expression

Project description:Like normal HSCs, LSCs appear to reside in endosteal BM niche and utilize hypoxic niche for their stemness maintenance. To determine the molecular mechanism that regulating the stemness of LSCs, we performed RNA-seq analyses on leukemia cells isolated from collagenase treated bone (endosteal BM, EBM) and from conventional flushed BM (central BM, CBM) of AE9a leukemia mice.

Bap1 shapes the bone marrow niche for lymphopoiesis by fine-tuning epigenetic profiles in endosteal mesenchymal stromal cells [ChIP-Seq]

Project description:Hematopoiesis occurs within a unique bone marrow (BM) microenvironment which consists of various niche cells, cytokines, growth factors and extracellular matrix components. These multiple components directly or indirectly regulate the maintenance and differentiation of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). Here we report that Bap1 in BM mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) is critical for the maintenance of HSCs and B lymphopoiesis. Mice lacking Bap1 in MSCs show aberrant differentiation of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells, impaired B lymphoid differentiation, and expansion of myeloid lineages. Mechanistically, Bap1 loss in distinct endosteal MSCs, expressing Prx1 but not Lepr, leads to aberrant expression of genes affiliated with BM niche functions. Bap1 deficiency leads to a reduced expression of pro-hematopoietic factors such as Scf, caused by increased H2AK119-ub1 and H3K27-me3 levels on the promoter region of these genes. On the other hand, the expression of myelopoiesis stimulating factors including Csf3 was increased by enriched H3K4-me3 and H3K27-ac levels on their promoter, causing myeloid skewing. Notably, loss of Bap1 substantially blocks B lymphopoiesis and skews the differentiation of hematopoietic precursors toward myeloid lineages in vitro, which is reversed by G-CSF neutralization. Thus, our study uncovers a key role for Bap1 expressed in endosteal MSCs in controlling normal hematopoiesis in mice by modulating expression of various niche factors governing lymphopoiesis and myelopoiesis via histone modifications.

Osteoclasts Control Re-activation of Dormant Myeloma Cells by Remodeling the Endosteal Niche

Project description:Multiple myeloma is largely incurable, despite development of therapies that target myeloma cell-intrinsic pathways. Disease relapse is thought to originate from dormant myeloma cells, localized in specialized niches, which resist therapy and re-populate the tumor. However, little is known about the niche, and how it exerts cell-extrinsic control over myeloma cell dormancy and re-activation. In this study we track individual myeloma cells by intravital imaging as they colonize the endosteal niche, enter a dormant state and subsequently become activated to form colonies. We demonstrate that dormancy is a reversible state which is switched ‘on’ by engagement with bone lining cells or osteoblasts, and switched ‘off’ by osteoclasts remodeling the endosteal niche. Dormant myeloma cells are resistant to chemotherapy targeting dividing cells. The demonstration that the endosteal niche is pivotal in controlling myeloma cell dormancy highlights the potential for targeting cell-extrinsic mechanisms to overcome cell-intrinsic drug resistance and prevent disease relapse.

N-cadherin expressing bone and marrow stromal progenitor cells maintain reserve hematopoietic stem cells

Project description:Regulation of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) by bone marrow (BM) niches has been extensively studied; however, whether and how HSC subpopulations are distinctively regulated by BM niches remain unclear. Here, we functionally distinguished reserve HSCs (rHSCs) from primed HSCs (pHSCs) based on their response to chemotherapy and examined how they are dichotomously regulated by BM niches. Both pHSCs and rHSCs supported long-term hematopoiesis in homeostasis; however, pHSCs were sensitive but rHSCs were resistant to chemotherapy. Surviving rHSCs restored the HSC pool and supported hematopoietic regeneration after chemotherapy. The rHSCs were preferentially maintained in the endosteal region that enriches N-cadherin+ (Ncad+) bone-lining cells in homeostasis and post-chemotherapy. N-cad+ cells were functional bone and marrow stromal progenitor cells (BMSPCs), giving rise to osteoblasts, adipocytes, and chondrocytes in vitro and in vivo. Finally, ablation of Ncad+ niche cells or deletion of SCF from N-cad+ niche cells impaired rHSC maintenance during homeostasis and regeneration.

Leukemia-on-a-Chip: Dissecting the chemo-resistance mechanisms in B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) bone marrow niche

Project description:B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) blasts hijack the bone marrow (BM) microenvironment to form chemo-protective leukemic BM ‘niches’, facilitating chemo-resistance and, ultimately, disease relapse. However, the ability to dissect these evolving, complex interactions among distinct B-ALL subtypes and their varying BM niches is limited with current in vivo methods. Herein, we reconstituted an in vitro three-dimensional (3D) organotypic leukemic BM niche model using a ‘Leukemia-on-a-Chip’ platform and comparatively studied the spatial and genetic heterogeneity of the BM niche in regulating B-ALL chemotherapy resistance. By emulating the leukemia BM anatomy in vitro, we determined that the perivascular and endosteal niches, through providing cytokine (e.g. CXCL12) and adhesive (e.g. VCAM-1/OPN) signals, differentially enhance downstream leukemia-intrinsic NF-κB signaling to support B-ALL survival and regulate cell cycle-related signaling to promote dormancy, which following demonstrated the pre-clinical utility of this microphysiological system to screen concomitant niche-directed therapies. Furthermore, we revealed the heterogeneity across different B-ALL subtypes by mapping subtype-specific leukemia and niche signals with application of single-cell RNA sequencing and analysis, which may contribute to chemotherapy resistance and disease relapse. Together, these results validate that our Leukemia-on-a-Chip allows for real-time and controllable dissection of the dynamic and heterotypic interactions between leukemia blasts and their BM microenvironment, which may translate to personalized therapeutics screening and disease management.

Integrative Spatial Multi-Omics Reveal Niche-Specific Inflammatory Signaling and Differentiation Hierarchies in Acute Myeloid Leukemia

Project description:Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a clonal disorder characterized by immature blasts and arrested differentiation that primarily affects the bone marrow (BM) and occasionally presents as extramedullary (EM) disease. EM manifestations highlight AML’s adaptability to distinct microenvironments, which we examined using spatial analyses of medullary and EM tissues. We describe a workflow for Visium-based spatial transcriptomics in medullary and EM AML, revealing insights into cell-cell communication and the spatial organization of AML hierarchies. In BM, monocytes and granulocyte-monocyte progenitors colocalized with leukemic populations, sharing molecular signatures with those in EM sample. CXCL12-CXCR4-mediated communication correlated with PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling in inflammatory niches. Trans-differentiation signals concentrated in AML-infiltrated regions; committed-like AML cells resided in inflammatory niches distant from trabeculae, while primitive-like cells localized near the endosteal niche. GeoMX digital spatial profiling and Opal multiplex fluorescent immunohistochemistry provided orthogonal validation. Overall, our study offers a valuable multimodal resource for exploring AML spatial biology with potential applications in other BM malignancies.

Expression profiling of the human bone marrow niche remodeling in clonal hematopoiesis and myelodysplasia [exhaustion]

Project description:Somatic mutations in hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPCs) can lead to clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP) and progression to myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS). Using single-cell and anatomical profiling of a large cohort of human bone marrow (BM), we show that the HSPC BM niche in CHIP and MDS is undergoing inflammatory remodeling. This includes loss of CXCL12⁺ adipogenic stromal cells and the emergence of a distinct population of inflammatory mesenchymal stromal cells (iMSCs), which arise in CHIP and become more prevalent in MDS. Functional studies in primary BM HSPC-MSC co-cultures reveals that healthy aged and CHIP HSPCs activate stromal support, while MDS HSPCs fail to do so. In contrast, MDS blasts further suppress HSPC support and trigger inflammation, indicating disease-stage-specific stromal disruption. In parallel, we show that iMSCs retain partial support and angiogenic potential in MDS, coinciding with expanded BM vasculature. Additionally, we identify IFN-responsive T cells that preferentially interact with iMSCs, potentially reinforcing local inflammation. These findings position iMSCs as central mediators of early BM niche dysfunction and potential therapeutic targets for intercepting pre-malignant hematopoiesis.
