Studies of Human Erythropoiesis Using classic 2D liquid culture and 3D scaffolds

ABSTRACT: Different bioengineering techniques have been developed to enable the production of erythrocytes in vitro. However, extrapolating the 3D structure and function of erythroblastic islands remains challenging. In our research, we employ a comprehensive strategy emphasizing physiological red blood cell (RBC) differentiation using a bespoke cocktail of cytokines and nutrients, including transferrin. The system was cultured for up to three weeks with hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) in three-dimensional (3D) scaffolds engineered to mimic the physical and chemical properties of human bone marrow. Within the scaffold, HSPCs undergo erythroblastic maturation within the first 2 weeks of culture. After 3 weeks, fully mature CD36⁻ CD71⁻ CD235a⁺ erythrocytes can be observed, accompanied by increased hemoglobin synthesis. In the 3D culture, diverse stages of erythroblast maturation are observed, driven by the activation of autophagy, which facilitates organelle clearance and membrane remodeling. This process leads to reduced surface integrin expression and significantly enhances RBC enucleation. Our findings underscore the importance of a 3D environment in supporting RBC maturation.

Exploring transcriptomic landscapes in red cell populations, in their extracellular vesicles and on single cell level

Project description:Circulating human red blood cells (RBCs) consist of mature erythrocytes, and immature reticulocytes. As being anucleated cells, RBCs lack typical, abundant transcriptomes but are known to contain low amounts of diverse long transcripts and microRNAs. The exact role and importance of these RNAs is, however, lacking. To study this further, we have explored the RNA content of RBCs as well as extracellular vesicles of RBCs using next-generation sequencing (NGS). Furthermore, to understand the dynamics of the RBC transcriptome, we performed single cell RNA sequencing on RBCs both from fresh blood and blood unit. Analysis of the single cell transcriptomes revealed that while the majority of the cells don’t have detectable RNA, the remaining, approximately 10% of the cells fall into three sub-populations based on their RNA content. Overall decrease in the RNA quantity over the populations is observed. Qualitative changes include the differences in the hemoglobin (Hb) content of the cells, and the changes in the expression of ribosomal and mitochondrial genes. A previously unknown transcript of a long non-coding RNA, MALAT1 (Metastasis Associated Lung Adenocarcinoma Transcript 1) is the most enriched marker gene for one subpopulation of RBCs, suggesting a role for MALAT1 in reticulocyte maturation. Enriched pathways in RBC transcriptome, such as autophagy, reflect the processes required for reticulocyte maturation to erythrocytes. RBC transcriptome is transferred to extracellular vesicles (EVs), suggesting the vesiculation as the mechanism to remove the cellular contents at the final stages of erythrocyte maturation.

Autocatalytic activation of a malarial egress protease is druggable and requires a protein cofactor

Project description:Malaria parasite egress from host erythrocytes (RBCs) is regulated by discharge of a parasite serine protease called SUB1 into the parasitophorous vacuole (PV). There, SUB1 activates a PV-resident cysteine protease called SERA6, enabling host RBC rupture through SERA6-mediated degradation of the RBC cytoskeleton protein beta-spectrin. Here we show that activation of Plasmodium falciparum SERA6 involves a second, autocatalytic step that is triggered by SUB1 cleavage. Unexpectedly, autoproteolytic maturation of SERA6 requires interaction in multimolecular complexes with a distinct PV-located protein cofactor, MSA180, that is itself a SUB1 substrate. Genetic ablation of MSA180 mimics SERA6 disruption, producing a fatal block in beta-spectrin cleavage and RBC rupture. Drug-like inhibitors of SERA6 autoprocessing similarly prevent beta-spectrin cleavage and egress in both P. falciparum and the emerging zoonotic pathogen P. knowlesi. Our results elucidate the egress pathway and identify SERA6 as a target for a new class of antimalarial drugs designed to prevent disease progression.

Small non-coding RNA’s profile of sorted plasma extracellular vesicles expressing different cell origin

Project description:Extracellular vesicles play a pivotal role in the intercellular communications influencing various physiological and pathological processes. They carry a range of biomolecular cargoes including small non-coding RNAs which could serve as potential diagnostic biomarkers and therapeutic targets. In the current study we applied Next Generation Sequencing to investigate small RNA profiles of erythrocytes (Rbc), platelets (Plt), leukocytes (CD45cells), two plasma fractions and blood cell-derived extra-cellular vesicles (EVs, such as CD41+, CD45+, CD235a+, CD146+) obtained using high-sensitivity fluorescence activated vesicle sorting from plasma of healthy donors. We analyzed the proportions of various small ncRNAs across samples and identified sample specific profiles of microRNA (miRNA) and transport RNA-derived fragments (tRFs). It was found that the cumulative small ncRNAs profiles of EVs originated from platelets, erythrocytes, and leukocytes, which are considered to be dominant among the vesicles circulating in blood, differ from small ncRNAs profiles of plasma fractions, which represent macrovesicles and exosomes in circulation. The proportion of miRNAs in sorted EVs was significantly lower compared to other samples while the proportion of tRFs was higher. Moreover, all sorted EVs carried mostly cell type non-specific miRNAs. Taking together, the results demonstrate that the combination of high-sensitivity fluorescence activated vesicle sorting with small-RNA sequencing technique is a powerful approach to analyze small ncRNAs profiles in cell specific vesicles.

Pre-transfusion storage alters the proteostasis function and capacity to circulate of a morphologically- and metabolically-altered red cell subpopulation, but preserves other red cells

Project description:This study aimed to provide a characterization of morphologically-altered red blood cells (RBCs) and to compare their properties to those of long-stored morphologically normal RBCs and to short-stored RBCs. For proteomics experiments, RBC concentrates stored in blood bank conditions were submitted to a CFSE staining protocol that allows specific sorting of morphologically-altered (CFSEhigh) and normal (CFSElow) RBC subpopulations. Proteome of erythrocytes and ghosts were analyzed at day 3-10 (short-stored, CFSElow RBC subpopulation) and day 40-44 (long-stored, CFSEhigh and CFSElow RBC subpopulations) of storage by a label free quantification approach.

Transcription profiling of human primary brain microvascular endothelial cell to investigate the effect of treatment with Plasmodium falciparum infected erythrocytes

Project description:Cerebral malaria is a multifactorial condition that begins with high numbers of infected erythrocytes binding to human brain endothelium without invasion into the brain. Here we investigated the global transcriptional gene response of primary human brain endothelial cells after incubation with high numbers of infected erythrocytes; High or low parasite binding phenotypes did not alter gene response. Predominate amongst signaling pathways were the NF-kB proinflammatory response. The inflammatory pathways were validated by direct measurement of proteins. This study delineates the strong inflammatory component of human brain endothelium contributing to cerebral malaria. Experiment Overall Design: Total of 8 samples (4 control and 4 treated) were analyzed. 4 control samples included two normal RBC control and two medium controls. 4 treated samples includes 2 exposed to low binding Pf-IRBC and 2 exposed to high binding Pf-IRBC (Pf-IRBC-P). Medium and RBC controls were finally used as four replicates of control and all four Pf-IRBC or Pf-IRBC-P exposed endothelial cells were used as 4 separate treated controls.

The genomic analysis of erythrocyte microRNA expression in sickle cell diseases

Project description:Background Since mature erythrocytes are terminally differentiated cells without nuclei and organelles, it is commonly thought that they do not contain nucleic acids. In this study, we have re-examined this issue by analyzing the transcriptome of a purified population of human mature erythrocytes from individuals with normal hemoglobin (HbAA) and homozygous sickle cell disease (HbSS). Methods and Findings Using a combination of microarray analysis, real-time RT-PCR and Northern blots, we found that mature erythrocytes, while lacking ribosomal and large-sized RNAs, contain abundant and diverse microRNAs. MicroRNA expression of erythrocytes was different from that of reticulocytes and leukocytes, and contributed the majority of the microRNA expression in whole blood. When we used microRNA microarrays to analyze erythrocytes from HbAA and HbSS individuals, we noted a dramatic difference in their microRNA expression pattern. We found that miR-320 played an important role for the down-regulation of its target gene, CD71 during reticulocyte terminal differentiation. Further investigation revealed that poor expression of miR-320 in HbSS cells was associated with their defective downregulation CD71 during terminal differentiation. Conclusions In summary, we have discovered significant microRNA expression in human mature erythrocytes, which is dramatically altered in HbSS erythrocytes and their defect in terminal differentiation. Thus, the global analysis of microRNA expression in circulating erythrocytes can provide mechanistic insights into the disease phenotypes of erythrocyte diseases.
