Developmental Timing Establishes Hematopoietic Stem and Progenitor Cell Lineage Bias

ABSTRACT: Embryonic development is a critical time window for the establishment of the hematopoietic and immune systems. During embryogenesis, hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) that possess divergent differentiation preferences arise and sustain lifelong hematopoiesis. How the pace and differentiation repertoire of native hematopoiesis is set in development and how it evolves as the organism grows is incompletely elucidated. Here, we use temporal lineage tracing of the emerging hematopoietic system during zebrafish development coupled with single cell RNA sequencing to define the origins of larval and adult hematopoietic cells. In both larvae and adult tissues, HSPCs arising earlier during embryogenesis show a predilection for lymphoid lineage production while those arising later are skewed towards erythroid. Moreover, early arising HSPCs are the main contributors to adult tissue resident lymphocytes. Mechanistically, early and late arising HSPCs show divergent transcriptional signatures and differential sensitivities to the levels of the transcription factor Runx1. Additionally, we identified that young larvae possess a more heterogeneous set of lymphoid cells than previously recognized including diverse T-lymphocytes and Innate Lymphoid-like Cells (ILCs). We demonstrated that these newly described larval ILC-like cells reside in lymphoid and mucosal organs and are responsive to viral mimic immune stimulation, indicating their relevance in early vertebrate life. The work provides new fundamental knowledge on how the heterogeneous HSPC pool establishes early immune hierarchies during embryogenesis and its persistence in adulthood.

Foetal and adult HSPCs - Comprehensive Proteomic Characterization of Ontogenic Changes in Hematopoietic Stem and Progenitor Cells

Project description:Haematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) in the foetus and adult possess distinct molecular landscapes that regulate cell fate and change their susceptibility to initiation and progression of haematopoietic malignancies. The proteomic programs that govern these differences remain elusive. In this study, we have utilized a mass spectrometry-based quantitative proteomics approach to comprehensively describe and compare the proteome of foetal and adult HSPCs. We found that the proteome of foetal HSPCs is relatively simple, characterized by proteins involved in cell cycle and cell proliferation, while their adult counterparts are defined by a larger set of proteins that are involved in more diverse cellular processes. These adult characteristics include an arsenal of proteins important for viral and bacterial defence, as well as protection against ROS-induced protein oxidation. Our further analyses of Type I interferon signalling shows that foetal HSPCs are sensitive to Interferon a (IFNa), which impairs their production of mature lymphoid cells, whereas stimulation with IFNa to the pregnant mother enhances the production of early progenitors from foetal HSCs. Our results provide new and important insights into the molecular landscape of foetal and adult haematopoiesis that advance our understanding of normal and malignant haematopoiesis during foetal and adult life.

Contrasting the development of larval and adult body plans during the evolution of biphasic lifecycles in sea urchins

Project description:Sea urchins are a unique system for studying developmental transistions because of the stark differences between their bilateral larval and pentaradial adult body plans. Here, we use single cell RNA-sequencing to analyze the development of Heliocidaris erythrogramma (He), a sea urchin species with an accelerated, non-feeding mode of larval development. The sequencing time course extends from early embryogenesis to roughly a day before the onset of metamorphosis in He larvae, which is a period that has not been covered by previous datasets. We find that the non-feeding developmental strategy of He is associated with several changes in the specification of larval cell types compared to sea urchins with feeding larvae, such as the loss of a larva-specific skeletal cell population. Furthermore, the development of the larval and adult body plans in sea urchins may utilize largely different sets of regulatory genes. These findings lay the groundwork for extending existing developmental gene regulatory networks to cover additional stages of biphasic lifecycles.

Comparative genomic analysis between adult and larval fin regeneration

Project description:Zebrafish have the remarkable ability to regenerate body parts including the heart, spinal cord and fins by a process referred to as epimorphic regeneration. Recent studies have illustrated that similar to adult zebrafish, early life stage-larvae also possess the ability to regenerate the caudal fin. A comparative genomic analysis was used to determine the degree of conservation in gene expression among the regenerating adult caudal fin, adult heart and larval fin. Results indicate that these tissues respond to amputation/injury with strikingly similar genomic responses. Comparative analysis revealed raldh2, a rate-limiting enzyme for the synthesis of Retinoic acid (RA), as one of the highly induced genes across the three regeneration platforms.

scRNA-seq of kidney marrow cells from Gata2b deficient and wild type zebrafish

Project description:GATA2 is a pivotal hematopoietic transcription factor required for generation and maintenance of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). Due to early embryonic lethality of Gata2 deficiency in mice, its role during adult hematopoiesis is incompletely understood. In zebrafish, mammalian functions of Gata2 are split between two orthologues: Gata2a and Gata2b. Previous studies have shown that Gata2b is prominently expressed in hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs), whereas Gata2a is mainly expressed in the vasculature. We found that Gata2b deficient zebrafish have a reduction in embryonic definitive HSPC numbers and have impaired myeloid lineage differentiation, but are viable. This allowed us to study the role of Gata2b in adult hematopoiesis. To assess the impact of Gata2b deficiency on the transcriptional profile of HSPCs and differentiated cells, we sorted the entire progenitor and HSPC population including the lymphoid population from kidney marrow (KM) of WT and germline Gata2b deficient zebrafish based on scatter profiles and processed for single-cell RNA sequencing. To enrich the scarce HSC population, we used pooled KM from two WT and Gata2b deficient Tg(CD41:GFP) zebrafish per sample and included all CD41:GFPlow expressing cells present in the kidney marrow pool as these cells were shown to contain transplantable HSCs.

Quantitative analysis of redox proteome reveals protein thiol switches regulating fundamental processes in developmental haematopoiesis

Project description:Foetal and adult hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) are characterized by distinct redox homeostasis that may influence their differential cellular behaviour in normal and malignant haematopoiesis. In this work, we have applied a quantitative mass spectrometry-based redox proteomic approach to comprehensively describe reversible cysteine modifications in primary mouse foetal and adult HSPCs. We defined the redox state of 4455 cysteines in foetal and adult HSPCs and demonstrated a higher susceptibility to oxidation of protein thiols in foetal HSPCs. Our data identified ontogenically active redox switches in proteins with a pronounced role in metabolism and protein homeostasis. Additional redox proteomic analysis identified redox switches acting in mitochondrial respiration as well as protein homeostasis to be triggered during onset of MLL-ENL leukemogenesis in foetal HSPCs. Our data has demonstrated that redox signalling contributes to the regulation of fundamental processes of developmental haematopoiesis and has pinpointed potential targetable redox-sensitive proteins in in utero-initiated MLL-rearranged leukaemia.

Single-cell and in situ spatial analyses reveal the diversity of newly born hematopoietic stem cells and of their niches [scRNA-Seq]

Project description:Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) and more committed progenitors (collectively referred to as HSPCs) emerge from vessels during development, via Endothelial-to-Hematopoietic Transition (EHT). Recently, using the zebrafish embryo, we showed that two EHT cell types emerge from the dorsal aorta, raising the question of their subsequent fate. To address this issue, we established a complex pipeline based on single-cell photoconversion and transgenic lines to characterize the abilities of EHT cell progenies to conquer hematopoietic organs and to obtain their transcriptomic profiles. We show that the two EHT cell types lead to partly differentially fated cells, with significant differences in thymus colonization and T-lymphoid lineage commitment. In addition, we investigated implantation of HSPCs in niches, with the support of HSPC signatures (gata2b and cd34/podocalyxin), retrieved from our single-cell datasets. This revealed, at unprecedented resolution, the homing of HSPCs in niches of entire early larvae, including the pronephros, the sub-aortic and caudal regions, as well as the area contacting the supra-intestinal artery. Our work provides new insights on fundamental aspects of HSPC fate acquisition, from their emergence to their homing in specific niches.

Adult-repopulating lymphoid potential is not confined to the arterial endothelial cells in yolk sac

Project description:During embryogenesis, hematopoietic stem progenitor cells (HSPCs) are believed to be derived from hemogenic endothelial cells (HECs). Moreover, arterial feature is proposed to be a prerequisite for the HECs to generate HSPCs with lymphoid potential. Whereas the molecular basis of the hematopoietic stem cell-competent HECs has been delicately elucidated within the embryo proper, the functional and molecular heterogeneity of HECs in the extra-embryonic yolk sac (YS) remains largely unresolved. In this study, we firstly identified six molecularly different endothelial populations in the mid-gestational YS through integrated analysis of several single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) datasets, and validated the arterial vasculature distribution of Gja5+ ECs by using a Gja5-EGFP reporter mouse model. We further explored the hemogenic potential of different EC populations based on their Gja5- EGFP and CD44 expression. The lineage differentiation potentials of ECs were spatiotemporally different and the B lymphoid potential was detected in the YS ECs as early as embryonic day (E) 8.5 regardless of their arterial feature. Unexpectedly, capacity of generating hematopoietic progenitors with in vivo lymphoid potential was found in non-arterial in addition to arterial YS ECs at E10.0-E10.5. Importantly, the distinct identities of E10.0-E10.5 ECs with a hemogenic potential between those from YS and from intra-embryonic caudal region were revealed by further scRNA-seq analysis. Taken together, these findings extend our knowledge about the hemogenic potential of ECs from anatomically and molecularly different vascular beds, providing a theoretical basis for better understanding the sources of HSPCs during mammalian development.
